A Six-Word Story II

Chapter 27

Chapter 27: "I wanna marry you. I wanna have kids with you. I wanna build us a house. I wanna settle down and grow old with you. I wanna die when I'm 110 years old in your arms. I don't want 48 uninterrupted hours. I want a lifetime." Grey's Anatomy

Do you get that feeling sometimes like you're waiting for something that isn't going to happen? I'm starting to feel frustrated. 

"Why are we drinking again?" Maki asked.

"I just feel like drinking today," I responded with a shrug.

He rolled his eyes. "Yeah right." He took a gulp from his beer. "Ano ba ang drama mo ngayon?"

Inisang lagok ko lang ang tequila. "I think Jeck doesn't have any plans of proposing to me."

"Bakit mo naman naisip yan? Ilang beses siyang nag-propose sa'yo dati."

"Dati yon. Almost 2 years na simula nung nag-kabalikan kami. But why hasn't he proposed yet?"

"Baka sawa ng mag-propose sa'yo, te. Try mo kaya na ikaw naman ang lumuhod at mag-propose?" I glared at him. "Ikaw naman! For a change lang!"

"Ewan ko sa'yo!"

I ordered another shot of tequila. Maki tried to stop me from drinking too much. Pero ayokong magpapigil sa pag-inom. In the end, I got so drunk. I was taken home by my friend who wouldn't stop nagging me.

"Baliw ka talagang babae ka! Hindi kita keri kaya pwede ba umayos ka ng lakad! Girl, malapit na tayo! My gosh!"

I giggled when I almost stumbled. Napatili tuloy si Maki. Bago pa kami makalapit sa unit ko ay bumukas na iyon at lumabas si Jeck. His brows pulled together as he saw my drunken state.

"Babe!" Mabilis siyang lumapit sa amin.

I giggled again. "Babe! My handsome babe!"

Yumakap ako sa kanya pagka-lapit niya sa akin. I buried my face in his chest. I kept on giggling and kissing his chin and neck. Hinahalikan ko ang parte na naabot ko.

"Why is she drunk?"

Maki grimaced. "Sorry. I couldn't stop her."

Jeck sighed then scooped me up in his arms. Napahagikgik ako sa ginawa niya. Binabawalan ako ni Maki pero patuloy lang ako sa pagtawa.

"I love you, babe! I love you! Kish me!" I even pouted my lips.

"Let's get you to bed."

"We'll make love!"

"Babe, stop."

"Ang tindi mo naman mang-inggit te!" hirit ni Maki.

I didn't know what happen next. The last thing I remembered was when Jeck put me to bed.

The next day, I woke up with a damn hangover. It didn't feel good and I swore never to drink like that again. Sapo ang ulo na umupo ako sa kama.

"Drink this."

Bahagya pa akong nagulat ng makita si Jeck sa may couch malapit sa kama. Inabot niya sa akin ang isang gamot at baso ng tubig. Walang kibo na kinuha ko iyon. Napansin ko na ang tanging suot ko ay ang shirt ni Jeck at undies lang. Wala rin akong bra. Nakangiwing tumingin ako sa kanya.

"Did Maki take me home?"

He crossed his arms and nodded. "Why did you drink?"

I scratched my forehead then stood up. "I just felt like drinking. I'll just take a shower."
