Nandito ako ngayon sa “The bar”, kilalang bar dito sa Fuentabella. Since friday night naman, maraming mga youths ang pagala-gala. There are smoke and drinks everywhere. Heavy music engulfs the atmosphere.

‘I love this song’

Pumunta ako sa center stage at kumindat nang tondo. I caress my perfect shape while enjoying the tune and also moves like a jagger. Maraming naghiwayan, sumabay at humataw na rin.

“Hey pretty, care to dance?”, someone asked.

I seductively smile. I felt his hands in my buttocks and immediately wrapped my hands around his neck. We move. He playfully smiled. “Hot”, he whispered. My smile grow wider. I pulled him closer and felt him arouse.

“Wanna go somewhere?”, he asked.

I kiss him right away just enough to blow his mind. “No!” Nakita ko pang siyang nag-smirk and immensely lock his eyes in mine. He knows his card well. Humiwalay ako agad sa kanya at umalis na sa lugar.

I admit, mahilig akong gumala at magparty. I entice and bait men into their demise. But, hanggang doon lang iyon. That’s how it should be. Live well but not to the fullest.

Rinig ko pa ang ingay sa loob nang bar. Kumaway ako ng taxi, pangalawa nato. Hinabol ko pa, wala namang sakay. I never felt so desperate, masakit na kasi ang paa ko sa...

kakasayaw.

“Just great!”, napasigaw ko.

“You know, I don’t mind giving you a ride”. Nasa likod ko na pala ang lalaking nakasayaw ko kanina, sakay nang kanyang Ford Mustang.

“I don’t fuck boys!”, I blurted. He chuckled. Nairita ako. I hate his fucking genes. Nakakaengayo sa mga mata. I rolled my eyes. Hinubad ko na ang stiletto shoes at nagsimulang maglakad paalis ng lugar. Sunod sunod pa rin ang sasakyan.

“What do you want?”, tanong ko.

“Ihahatid na kita. I am offering you a ride”, in his deep tone. His voice plays like harmony in my ears. He chuckled one more. ‘Gosh! Don’t you dare seduce me.’, nasa isip ko.

“I don’t want to. I don’t know you”, parang bata ko namang tugon. Nag-pout pa talaga ako. Hindi naman sa nagpapacute ako pero parang ganun na nga.

“I’m Brylle”, walang patumpik tumpik na sagot nito. He opened the door adjacent to his. “Come!”, sigaw niya at tinapik ang kabilang upoan. Natatakot na ako sa aking sarili na baka ako pa ang mangseduce. He is so genuine and good-looking.

“Stop it! Hindi mo ako maloloko sa modos mo kuya!” I sprayed him with a pepper spray and nagmadali na akong kumaripas nang takbo. I never once looked. Dinig ko lang sigaw niya at hampas sa manibela.

“Damn you woman!”.
