Why Can't I Have You?

Chapter 2

Little Black Dress

"Enzo Villegas"

The door-guy immediately checks his name out of the V.I.P. section of the list before letting him in.

It's Nate's birthday. The lucky bastard rented their favourite bar for his party.

"Dude, glad you could make it." Madramang sabi ni Nate nang salubungin si Enzo ng yakap. Tinatapik tapik pa nito ang balikat niya.

Enzo looked at him weirdly matapos nilang magyakap. "We were together 3 hours ago, I just went home to take a shower."

Nate's smile instantly turned into a frown. Nainis siya dahil hindi man lang sinakyan ni Enzo ang pag-iinarte niya. "Panira ka. Nag-prapractice ako para sa pagdating ng iba ko pang bisita mamaya. Ang KJ mo masyado."

Natawa nalang si Enzo sa kung ano mang trip ni Nate. After all, birthday naman nito ngayon. Minsan nga lang hindi siya makapaniwalang 17 na si Nate. Napakachildish kasi nito.

"Where are they?" Enzo asked pertaining to Dylan and the others.

Nate pointed to his right and said, "Sunod ako sa inyo. May hinihintay lang ako."

Enzo nodded and made his way through the thick crowd. He had to stop a few times to talk to some of their common friends na invited din sa party. Malawak din ang circle of friends nila, lalo na sa University since they have been there since the old diaper days.

"Hey," bati ni Enzo sa kanilang lahat. Siya na lang pala ang huling dumating sa barkada. Even Dylan's girlfriend, Alisha, is there.

"Si Nate?" tanong ni Brix.

"May hinihintay daw. That's what sucks in being the host of a party, you'll be quite busy." Sagot ni Enzo.

Cyril ordered drinks bago pa man siya dumating kaya ng iserve sa kanila iyon. Sinimulan na nila ang celebration.

"Let's get wasted mga bugoy!" Cyril said, raising his drink. "Ubusin natin ang yaman ni Nate!" He laughed evilly before drinking.

"Isang taon ka munang iinom ng straight bago mo maubos ang yaman ng kumag na 'yon!" Natatawang sigaw naman ni Dylan kay Cyril.

Nagtawan sila at umorder pa ng madaming drinks. They have a plan of getting sloshed tonight.

Siguro ay halos naka tatlong order na sila bago pa dumaan si Nate sa table nila.

"Lasing ka na pre?" Asar ni Gelo kay Nate.

"Hindi nga ako makainom, pahingi nga!" Reklamo ni Nate at bigla niyang kinuha ang iniinom na alak ni Cyril.

"Uhaw sa alak boy?" Pang-asar naman ni Cyril pero inabutan din naman niya ng isa pang baso ng alak si Nate.

"Sino ba kasing hinihintay mo?" Enzo asked. He does not get why Nate has to wait for someone, sanay naman na ang mga kaibigan nila sa bar parties gaya nito.

"Childhood bestfriend ko." Nate answered with a wink.

"Chiks mo 'yan no?" Tukso agad ni Dylan habang ang girlfriend niya naman ay nakikitawa lang sa kanila. She doesn't get along with most people in the group that's why she seldom talks to them. Same goes for the guys, kung hindi sila kakausapin hindi na din nila ito masyadong kinakausap.

Umiling si Nate. "Hindi! Amazona 'yon. Sasapakin ako pag hindi ako nakita pagpasok niya. Hindi kasi mahilig 'yon sa ganito."

"Amazona," Cyril smirked, "I like that."
