Ran Away
Hindi ko alam kung paano ko nalagpasan ang gabing iyon, kung paano kami ng mga kaibigan nang maabutan kami doon sa couch. I feel so ashamed from all of their unfiltered words! Palibhasa lasing na kaya ganoon.
"Don't ever leave her again!" Biglang sigaw ni Maxxine pagkatapos niya kaming titigan ng matagal
"I didn't." Kalmadong sabi ni Johansson at tinignan ako. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at kinurot si Maxxine
"Ouch! Bakit totoo naman ah? Kung wala iyong Kelsey na iyon edi sana sinabi mo na-" mabilis tinakpan ni Karlie ang bibig niya. Napamura naman si Nick at kinuha ang hawak na shot glass ni Maxxine
"Lasing kana girl, kung ano ano sinasabi mo." Pahisterikal na tumawa si Shaira at itinayo si Maxxine para pumuntang comfort room.
Kinagat ko ang labi ko at uminom ng pang limang shot sa gabing ito. That's my last one though, I'll stay with the cocktails in front.
Masama akong tinignan ni Johansson habang walang kahirap hirap niyang ininom ang kanya, ni hindi man lang ngumiwi.
"That will be your last one." Ngumuso ako pero tumango rin. Kahit hindi mo pa sabihin Johansson.
"Are the kids already inside?" Tanong ni Ate Xena kay Percy na naglalagay ng mga gamit ng mga bata sa likod ng van
"We're here!" sigaw nila sa loob ng sasakyan. They're waiting for us in their car seat while we're busy arranging our things.
Hindi na namin pinasama si Rose at Percy dahil gusto naming umuwi muna sila sa kanilang pamilya. They've been with us since we're in France and they didn't get the chance to go home to their family.
It will be a four days three night vacation in Mactan, Cebu, some close friends and some relatives are prepared and take a leave for this birthday celebration of Dior. While Mom and Dad will be there tomorrow with their friends because of a problem in the company that need to be solved immediately.
I greeted my relatives inside the private plane, masaya sina Lauren at Dior na makita ang mga pinsan nila. Magkakasamang nagdatingan ang mga kaibigan ko at ni ate.
One of ate's friend has a child and we introduce her to the kids.
"You're an Australian?" tanong ni Lauren kay Agatha, anak ng kaibigan ni ate.
"Yes, how did you know that? Some thought I'm half American."
"It's because of your accent." She tried to imitate Agatha's accent and they both laugh while I remained impressed.
"Did you teach her that?" Nick asked
"Hindi, napapanood niya siguro." sabi ko at tinawag na si Lauren para makatabi na sa akin dahil kumpleto na kami at pabyahe na.
"Nasaan na si Kuya Carreon?" Tanong ko kay ate
Tumingin siya sa mga bata bago ako sinagot
"He said he will come, maybe tonight or tomorrow?."
"Alam na niya?" Umiling siya at hinimas ang buhok ni Dior na mahimbing ang tulog
Ate Xena wants to surprise both Dior and his father that's why prior to this, we already told them about it and try not to talk about it. We're talking in tagalog so that the kids won't understand us.
We got escorted by the hotel's vans. It's a thirty minute drive and we have to sail to go to the hotel. Lauren didn't enjoy the water dahil pinapaalala ni Dior sakaniya iyong napanood nilang shark movie
