Waking Up in Vegas

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

"So, what's his profile like? Anong mga chismis na ang nasagap mo?" Caro asked Andrew who keeps searching for any biography about this billionaire online. If that helps us to get to know him more, that would probably be the best case scenario.

Hindi ako pinatulog buong gabi. I was reallybothered by the fact na isang billionaire pala 'yong naka-halikan ko. And alsothe fact that I need to keep thinking about that kiss makes me feel so dumb. Theymay say na sobrang swerte ko for hitting the jackpot. E, mukhang g-spot ko ataang na-hit ng lalaking 'yon! Pisting yawa!

"Oh, gosh! I found something! Lapit dito mga bruha!" Anunsyo ni Andrew at dali-dali siyang pumagitna sa amin ni Caro. "Ang taray, a! May article siya sa New York Times and that's not only what it tells, but he's also a freaking bachelor which means, hindi updated ang article na 'to. This was dated last year pa and you could really be his wife since last night!"

We all gasped when we realized it. Nakaiimbyerna. Hindi ako makampante. Yes, kissing a billionaire and being tied up with him would already resolve my problems. Financially and all. Baka nga kahit bitawan ko na ang pagiging flight attendant, mabubuhay ako until the death of me. Knowing, not for a fact that I'm married, how my life would be?

"So, who is really this newly-husband of our friend?" Hagikgik ni Caro. Kotongan ko 'to. Isa rin 'to sa may kasalanan, e.

"Let's start." Gumiling ang kanilang pwet para umayos sa pagkauupo. Ginitnit lang nila ako sa kama ko sa totoo lang. Halos thirty minutes pa lang ata ang tulog ko, umaga na agad. Bwisit na araw 'to. "So his full name is Devin Zolter Carrington. Oh! A twenty-seven, Filipino-American billionaire. He owns one of the five stars hotel and casino here in Vegas called DC Hotel Resort and Casino. And oh! He's also the son of the multi-millionaire Davaughn Carrington."

"Oh, my gosh! That's why his last name is so familiar! Kaloka!" Caro squeals, gushing her feelings out. "And how on earth did we just get into this situation? We put our friend to kiss a billionaire and who knows where that would go next, 'di ba?!"

Sabay na tumili ang dalawa. Natigil lang silang dalawa sa harutan nang may kumatok sa pinto. They attended the home service staff for our breakfast. They took the tray and goes back to join me on my bed.

"Kung ano man 'yang iniisip niyo, that wouldn't ever happen. Ni hindi ko nga matunton 'yong lalaking 'yon, aasa pa kayo sa future situation. Like, duh? Sobrang imposible na may mangyari pa." Irap ko pa. Sobrang hopeless na nga ako sa sitwasyon ko, daragdagan pa ba? What's happening is too much, kulang na lang hatiin ko ang katawan ko kung saan ako magiging kuntento.

"We'll be leaving tonight, wala ka ng chance na makita pa siya," tugon ni Caro, she pouted as if she really symphatizes may situation pero deep inside, gusto na niyang maghalumpasay.

"So, aalis ako ng Vegas na hindi 'ko man lang sure na kasal ako o hindi? Na kung virgin pa ba ako o hindi? Gusto kong iwanan ang kaluluwa ko rito, everything that happened was just worst and I think I won't like to be here again. Sobrang lala kung alalahanin ko pa," usal ko, mistulang umuusok na ang ilong ko sa sobrang inis but everything is way out of my reach.

"But this is a good remembrance, right?" Ngisipa ni Andrew. Agad ko siyang binatukan. Muntik pang ma-deep throat ang papasuboniyang kutsara. Naduwal naman siya kaagad. "Grabe ka girl, kung uten lang 'topush ako, e. E, metal 'to?! Dugo ang lalamunan ko!"

Napasinghal na lang ako. Wala akong interest makipagsagutan sa hindi ko sitwasyon. Hindi ko nga rin sure kung napasubo ako o hindi, e. Laki ng problema!

Inagaw ni Caro sa kabilang kamay ni Andrew ang phone niya at ini-scroll down ang website kung saan nakalagay ang ilang information ni Devin Carrington.
