Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang makita ko ang aking dalawang mga kaibigan na pumasok sa loob ng VIP room. Inuutusan kasi ako ni Theo Elijah kanina, na tawagin ko ang dalawa upang makita at makilala rin niya ito.

I am currently sitting on the stool chair, near the counter bar when the two entered. I saw how they shocked at the same time amazed. Ganyan rin ba ang reaksiyon ko kanina?

"Good evening po, sir." Krisha Jane greeted him, while swallowing her own saliva.

"Good evening. Please, drop the word po. I'm not that old to use the word po for me. And, it's nice meeting you two, by the way." His voice is calm, while still holding a glass of beer.

Nakadukwatro na ito sa upuan habang ang kanan nitong kamay ay nakapatong sa uluhan ng sofa. He's hot. I shake my head as that word pop up on my mind.

"Can you please introduce yourself first? I'm not a fortune teller to recognize your names." He asked straight-forward. There was a sarcastic on his tone.

Tila nahihiya naman ang aking dalawang mga kaibigan saka sila tumango. They looked at me, before I nodded at them.

"Ahm... I'm Edesa Mae Sanchez." Pakilala ni Edesa Mae, bowing her head a little.

I want to laugh at their looks. Para silang mga high school students na nagpapakilala sa mga sarili nila.

"I'm Krisha Jane Rodriguez." Tipid at simple na pakilala ni Krisha Jane kay Theo Elijah.

I heard him chuckle before he drink his beer and put the glass on the table. He can sense a serious environment between them. I knew it!

"Relax, girls. Breath out!" Natatawang sabi ni Theo Elijah kina Edesa Mae at Krisha Jane. Nakita ko naman ang pag-alinlangan nilang ngiti. "By the way, I'm Theo Elijah Aquino. One of your customers here. My friends will come along at this moment. They're on the way here." Pagpapaalala pa nito sa aking mga kaibigan.

Theo Elijah motioned Edesa Mae and Krisha Jane to sit for awhile, while waiting to his friends to arrived. Nanghihinang umupo ang dalawa kong kaibigan sa stool chair sa aking tabi.

"Sabihin mo nga sa akin na hindi siya anak ni Mr. Ville." Mahinang utos sa akin ni Krisha Jane—takot na baka marinig ni Theo Elijah.

"So, you order me to lie you? Kahit magsinungaling pa ako sa harap mo, kung isa siyang Aquino. Isa talaga siyang Aquino." Sabi ko naman kay Edesa Mae na ikinasimangot nito.

"He's hot. So, handsome. May broad shoulders. May muscles. Does he have an abs too?" Tinampal ko sa paa si Krisha Jane. Pinapantasyahan pa talaga nito si Theo Elijah sa aking harap.

Tumingin ako sa wall clock na nakasabit sa ibabaw ng pinto. It's already ten o'clock in the evening. I am hoping that his friends will arrive soon. I need to go home before twelve midnight. May pasok pa naman kami bukas.

We wait for half an hour, when the door open and three men's entering the room while wearing their suits. May isa pa sa kanila na may dalang briefcase. Galing ata ang mga ito sa isang business meeting.

Nakita ko ang pagdapo ng kanilang mga tingin sa amin. I also feel Krisha Jane stilled on her seat. His friends were already sit on the couch, and starting telling to Theo Elijah how tired they are.

"Who are they?" One of them asked, Theo Elijah. Hinubad na rin nito ang black suit na suot at tanging puting long sleeves nalang ang natitira nito sa katawan.

"Our, VIP waitresses." Theo Elijah said.

"Well, it's good to hear that, Tito Laurence assigned them here. I have nothing to worry about someone anymore." The blue guy suit said, that make Krisha Jane stilled again.

I wonder what he meant on that statement. Is Krisha Jane know this guy? Napailing na lamang ako at ipinagsawalang bahala ang nasa aking isip. Wala ako sa posisyon upang makialam o magtanong sa buhay ng aking kaibigan. I know she would tell the truth. Not now, but soon.

"A bottle of beer, please." A guy on his green tuxedo order, then Edesa Mae immediately bring it on.

Tumayo si Krisha Jane sa stool chair at kumuha ng dalawang beer at inilagay sa harap ng lalaki na nakasuot ng asul na suit. The guy smiled sweetly on her. They have something.

Tumayo na rin ako sa stool chair at kinuha ang bucket of beers. I was about to walked and bring the bucket of beers when Theo Elijah blocked my way. He's giving me an heart attack!

"I'm sorry, nagulat ka ba roon?" I rolled my eyes and was about to walked, when he grabbed my arms.

"You're friends waiting the drinks. Let go of my hands now." Madiin kong utos sa kanya.

"Just get the drinks here guys. I have something to talk important to this lady for awhile." He said on his friends. Kinuha rin nito sa aking mga kamay ang bucket of beers at nilagay sa bar counter.

Tumingin ako sa gawi ng aking mga kaibigan at binigyan lang ako sa mga ito ng nagtatakang tingin. Nagulat naman ako ng hilahin ako nito sa gilid ng bar counter. Pero, mas nagulat ako ng buksan nito ang pinto sa likod ko at hinila ako papasok doon.

My mouth parted as I saw the entire room. Beautiful. The whole room covered with a vintage color. The king bed size covered with a brown color, even the pillows and blanket are brown. I love the color of the entire room.

I back on my thoughts when Theo Elijah sit on the bed and looking at me intently. I raised my eyebrows at him, crossing my hands over my chest.

"You have something important to tell me, right? What is it?" She asked.

Pero, sa halip na sagutin nito ang aking tanong ay hinawakan nito ang aking palapulsuhan at hinila patungo sa kanya. I shocked on that moved. I am now sitting on his lap! For real, what's wrong with this guy?

"Actually, I have nothing important to say. But, I want something to do tonight with you. Can you accompany me?"

Sex. He's talking about sex! Umirap ako at tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo sa kandungan ni Theo Elijah. Kahit kailan walang modo talaga itong mga lalaki. Tanging ang mga pangangailangan lang nila ang iniisip.

"Just grab some girls outside. I'm not interested with the something you said." I said, then quickly going out of the room.

Asshole!
