Hindi na namalayan ni Stacey that she is in her car. Natauhan siya ng mag-ring ang phone niya. Nakita niya na ang boss niya ang tumatawag. She ignored the call. Inilabas niya ang kotse niya sa basement parking. Wala na siyang pakialam if sisisantihin siya ni Nick. She wants to get away from him.Bukas na siya babalik ng opisina.
Wala siyang alam puntahan so she called Eve.
"Sure ka na iinom tayo?" tanong ni Eve as she opens a bottle of vodka.
"Dito lang naman tayo so okay lang."sagot niya.
Eve shrugged. "Sabagay maaga pa naman. In case malasing tayo, shower lang ang katapat. For sure wala na ang tama mamayang gabi. Magpalit ka muna ng damit so you'll be more comfortable. Pahiramin muna kita." Eve suggested.
Stacey just nodded. They are in Eve's tiny living room. Hindi talaga siya umiinom pero bad-trip talaga siya kay Nick. Balak pa talaga siyang isahan nito.
Ang sakit ng nararamdaman niya kasi sa loob-loob niya umasa siya na kahit papaano totoo ang mga sinabi nito sa kanya. To think na parang nagtataksil na siya kay Derick dahil nagpahalik na naman siya dito.
Eve handed her a white sleeveless body fit shirt and a pair of denim shorts. Tumayo siya to change her clothes in the bathroom. Pagbalik niya nakaupo na ulit si Eve sa sofa habang nagsasalin ng alak. Inilapit nito ang lamesa sa couch.
Nakakunot ang noo na tinignan siya ni Eve mula ulo hanggang paa. She carelessly sat on the sofa too. She got one throw pillow to put on her lap para kahit papaano matakpan ang panty niya pag nakaupo siya.
"Girlfriend, ano ba ang problema?" Eve asked bago inabot ang baso with vodka sa kanya.
Tinungga ito ni Stacey then leaned forward the table para kunin ang buong bote at magsalin ulit sa baso. Tumaas ang kilay ni Eve.
Dalawang sunod na salin at tungga ang ginawa niya before munching on some chips.
"Hmmm...mukhang mabigat ang dinadala mo.." Eve joked as she popped some chips in her mouth.
Stacey sighed bago nagsalin na naman ng alak. Maybe after several drinks makakapag-open up na siya sa kaibigan.
"Girlfriend, may napansin ako sayo just now." seryosong sabi ni Eve.
Bumaba ang tingin nito sa dibdib ng kaibigan.
She took a sip before looking at her."Ano?"
"Kung hindi kita kilala, sasabihin ko na may boyfriend ka na."
Napakurap si Stacey then sinaid ang laman ng baso bago nagsalin ulit.
"Dahan-dahan. Hanggang mamaya pa naman tayo. Baka hindi na kita makausap ng matino niyan eh." saway nito.
"Okay. Sorry." hagikhik ni Stacey .She feels a little light-headed already.
"Your boobs seem to be bigger. Tapos your eyes don't look innocent unlike before. I hope you don't mind my asking ,have you had sex already?"
Natigilan si Stacey sa tanong ng kaibigan. Then dahil sa epekto ng alak, she just started to giggle. Tumawa siya ng tumawa until she felt her sides are gonna split from laughter.
Hinayaan lang siya ni Eve. She is just looking at her with a slight frown.
When she stopped laughing, Stacey dabbed her eyes with a tissue dahil naiyak siya sa kakatawa.
"Ano ba ang itinatago mo sa akin girlfriend All of a sudden parang ang dami mong inililihim." may himig tampong sabi nito.
"Don't worry Eve. One of these days magkukwento din ako. Gusto ko lang mag-relax kaya nag-aya akong uminom." she said bago nagsalin ulit ng alak.
Tumayo si Eve ng may marinig na nag-doorbell.
Sinamantala naman ni Stacey ang pagkakataon. Pinuno niya ang baso ng alak then ininom lahat.
"Miss Hotness?" tawag ni Blake.
Stacey looked at the new comer.
Lumapad ang ngiti niya ng makita ang guwapong mukha ni Blake. She feels like shit dahil gusto lang pala siyang paglaruan ni Nick Alcantara. She feels good now na at least she can enjoy this night with her friend at ang hot nito na pinsan.
.
"Blake!" she called him with a voice which is a little breathy. Eve sighed.
Kunot -noong lumapit sa kanya si Blake and sat next to her. Kinuha nito ang baso at bote ng alak sa kanya. She tried to reach them and hinawakan niya ang braso nito bago sila nagkatinginan.
Eve is just looking at them na nakakunot ang noo. Nailing na lang ito. Magsasalita sana ito but her phone started ringing.Her fiance is calling.
Bago niya sagutin she said, "Blake! D on't take advantage!" sabi niya sa pinsan. She then got inside her room.
"Blake! Give those back." pilit pa din inaabot ni Stacey ang baso at bote ng vodka.
Nahulog ang throw pillow from her lap and nalantad ang makinis at maputi niyang mga hita.
Blake’s eyes went to them and his brows knitted. . He reached down for the throw pillow and itinakip ulit sa dalaga.
"Stacey! Stop it! Kanina ka pa umiiinom?" nakasimangot na tanong nito.
She leaned on the sofa then smiled at him. Her eyes look smoky because of the alcohol. Umiling siya as she moistened her lips.
She doesn't know how lovely and sexy she looks .
"God Stacey! Ano ba ang ginagawa mo?" Blake asked her. He is staring at her pretty face.
Mapungay ang mata na tumingin siya sa mukha nito. "Nothing.Masama bang uminom?" she asked innocently.
"Dahil ba sa boss mo kaya ka umiinom? May ginawa ba siya sayo kagabi? Saan ka niya dinala? I wanted to follow you but may nambutas ng mga gulong ng motorsiklo ko!" galit na sabi nito.
"Sorry about that." she just said.
He just let out a heavy sigh. She looked at his handsome face.Bumaba ang tingin niya sa left bicep nito. She had a sudden urge to run her fingers on his tattoo. Ang ganda kasi nito.
She pouted her lips."Blake? Why did you ask me out last night?" she suddenly had the courage to ask.
He tore his gaze from her face. Dumiretso ito ng upo. He poured some booze in the glass then gulped it down.
"Blake?" she touched his arm.
Nagsalin ulit ito ng alak then inubos ang laman ng baso bago nagsalin ulit.
"Wala pa bang sinabi si Eve sayo?" he asked without looking at her.
"None. Ano ba yun?" she asked.
Walang malisyang hinawakan niya ang isang bicep nito to reach for the glass with vodka.
"Please isa lang." pakiusap niya.
Nilingon siya nito. Napakurap si Stacey.
His eyes seem darker as he directly looks at her eyes then her lips na medyo nakaawang. Their faces are inches apart.
She can smell his pleasant scent.
"Stacey..." he murmured.
She bit her bottom lip habang nakatingin sa mga mata nito.
Unti-unting lumapit ang labi ni Blake sa kanya.
"BLAKE!!" sigaw ni Eve.
He cursed bago inilayo ang mukha kay Stacey. Hinila ni Eve ang braso ng kaibigan para itayo.
"Naku girlfriend ano ba yan?! Dito ka nga!" inis na sabi nito.
Iniupo niya si Stacey sa single sofa na nasa kabilang side.
Napasandal si Stacey as she closed her eyes. Medyo nahihilo na siya.
Nilapitan ni Eve ang pinsan na sa bote na tumutungga.
"What was that all about ha?" galit na bulong nito.
"Chill ka lang Eve. Nothing happened." Blake said.
"You were taking advantage of her!" inis na sabi niya sa pinsan.
Tinignan siya ni Blake with his eyes narrowed.
"You know that I will not do such a thing."seryosong sabi nito.
Umiling na lang si Eve.
"What's that sound? Hindi niyo ba naririnig?" sabi nito as she looked around. Tumingin ito kay Stacey.
"Girlfriend! Where's your bag?" she asked.
Stacey opened her eyes then stood up. She pointed to the table in Eve's small kitchen. Then bigla niyabg kinuha ang baso ni Eve na nasa center table and before Blake can stop her, she drank the alcohol in it.
Inabot sa kanya ni Eve ang cellphone niya. "Kanina pa nag-riring ang phone mo! Get it!"" sabi nito as she asked Blake to open the other bottle of vodka. Naubos na ng pinsan ang nakalahati na ni Stacey na bote.
"Gusto ko din Blake." Stacey said.
Nangiti si Stacey when she saw Blake frowned.
"Tama ka na Stacey." inis na sabi nito.
"Girlfriend, sagutin mo na yang phone mo." sabi ni Eve. She went to the kitchen to get ice.
Tumabi ulit si Stacey kay Blake sa sofa.
Umiling lang ang binata nang ilahad niya ang kamay for the glass. Humilig siya sa braso nito as she looks at him.
"Isa na lang...please." she huskily requested.
"Answer your phone." utos nito as he gulped some more booze.
She sighed.
Without looking at the caller, she pushed the accept button.
"Stacey! Where the hell are you?!" came Nick's pissed voice.
He is breathing heavily. Kanina pa ito tumatawag sa dalaga. Sabi daw nito kay Cherry may bibilhin lang pero hindi na ito bumalik ng opisina.
Napasimangot si Stacey and inilayo ng bahagya ang telepono from her ear. Napatingin sa kanya si Blake.
"Don't shout !Hindi ako bingi!" inis na sabi niya kay Nick. She slurred a little dahil sa alak.
Nick frowned. "Lasing ka ba?NASAAN KA?!" galit na tanong nito.
Napansin ni Blake na nakasimangot si Stacey.
"Who's that?" Are you okay?" alalang tanong nito.
She just nodded.
Nick gripped his phone.
"Who the hell is that?! Where are you?!" he asked menacingly ng marinig ang boses ng lalake.
She sighed heavily. Sa inis niya kay Nick, she wants to piss him off more. How dared he paglaruan nito ang damdamin niya? Sex lang pala ang gusto nito di sana sinabi na lang nito. Tutal wala na namang mawawala sa kanya if pagbibigyan niya ito. Sabi naman nung Tanya, he only fucks a woman once.
" Fuck Stacey! Answer me!! Sino ang kasama mo?! Tell me dammit! " galit na utos ni Nick ng hindi pa din siya sumasagot.
Dahil sa epekto nang alak at galit niya kay Nick she said, "I am with my boyfriend! Huwag kang istorbo! Bukas na ako papasok."
Ibinaba na niya ang telepono before he can retort.
Nick saw red with what she said.
Boyfriend? Who the fuck ..?? H e angrily asked himself.
"Fucking hell !" he cursed furiously.
