The Bar War

Amber sipped the whole drink, but their curious eyes are still fixed on her.

She tilted her head as she looked at them one by one. Naningkit ang mata nito ng mapadako kay Stella ang tingin.

"I'm I have this gut feeling that--"
She trailed off.

"That??"
Leo, Diane, and Stella said in unison.

"Nothing." She looked away.

Stella sighed in relief.
'I thought I've been caught.'

Diane elbowed her, throwing a look as if asking 'what will happen next?' But Stella just shrugged her shoulders. Hindi din nito alam kung bakit hindi pa rin tumatalab ang gamot.

Hanggang napansin nilang pumungay na ang mga mata ni Amber. Pero nagpatuloy pa rin ito sa pag-inom.

"Kaya mo pa?"
Leo asked.

Amber just do a thumb's up and her vision gets blurred. She didn't know why but she felt active.

"I have this urge to dance."
She do a head bang while listening to the loud music.

Tumayo ito at pagiwang-giwang na lumakad papunta sa dance floor.

"Hindi niyo man lang ba pipigilan?"
Leo asked while eyeing at her.

"Let's just watched."
Diane replied and smirked.

Stella slapped her forehead.
"Ugh! Mukhang malalagot yata ako nito! Amber will find it out sooner or later, and she will be freaking mad at me!" She bite her lower lip.

Amber started to dance. It was slower in the start, until it become faster.  She's more hotter when she do that! Ang bilis nitong gumalaw pero hindi jologs tignan. Kuhang-kuha niya ang tyempo. She exactly copied the tempo of the beat.

"Ohhh, she's good!"
Diane comments.

She attracts people by her moves.
The girls around her get jealous about of how she dances. Ang lambot ng katawan nito habang sumasabay sa musika.

The crowed cheered at Amber when she removed her black cardigan. Leaving her revealing white sexy tube top. She swayed her hips seductively that made boys drooled over her. Even Leo, gulped at the sight.

Amber put her hands on her face down to her curve body. Tracing it while she's swaying waist down. The boys around her looked at it full in lust.

She closed her eyes feeling the beat when she gracefully dance at the rhythm.

Sinundot ni Stella si Leo sa tagiliran.

"Hoy! Tulo laway ka na diyan!"
Saway nito.

She smirked when Leo wiped his jaw.

"Tss! Wala naman ah!"
Inis na sabi ng lalaki.

She laughed crazily.
"Ha! I know it! You're drooling at her! You're drooling at Amber!"
She shouted while pointing at him.

But Leo ignores her when a handsome guy went to Amber.

Their body's are too close to each other that looks like they're hugging. That guy holds her waist.

"Shit!"
Leo cursed under his breathe.
Hindi niya alam pero bigla siyang nainis sa nakita.

Tatayo na sana ito pero agad siyang pinigilan ni Diane.

"Just watched."
She glared at him before looking at Amber again.

Talagang lasing na si Amber dahil patuloy lang ito sa pagsayaw.

'Nababastos na ang kaibigan nila! Wala man lang ba 'tong gagawin?'
Leo thinks referring at the two, Stella and Diane.

Prenteng nakaupo lang ang dalawa habang nag-eenjoy sa panunuod.

Napatingin na lang din si Leo sa dance floor. Only to find out a hotter combo them. It's Amber and the stranger!

They are too good in dancing. Napatigil pa ang iba sa pagsasayaw para lang manoud. They even cheered at them.
Ang galing kasi ng dalawa.

"Oh my god! Amber is so lucky! Ang hot ng guy!"

Leo glares at Stella for saying that.

"Ang dali-dali lang nitong maka-attract ng mga handsome guys-- Oh? Ba't ganyan ka makatingin?"
She raised her left eyebrow at him.

Pero inirapan lang siya ni Leo bago tumingin ulit sa dance floor.

Pawisan na si Amber at napapapikit na. The stranger pulled her closer. Napahawak pa ang babae sa matipuno nitong dibdib at halos mapasandal na.

"Do you want a private place?"
The guy whispered in a husky way.

Ang bango ng hininga nito but still, Amber didn't response. She's too worn to answer him.

The guy leaned down. He will going to kiss her. And Leo gritted his teeth at the sight. He quickly stand up.

Ayaw lang nitong mapahamak ang anak ng amo. And also Mr. Wilson trust him to watch over her. 'Yun lang daw.

But he stopped-- when--

Unconsciously Amber's fist landed on the guy face!

"What the fucked?!?"
Umalingawngaw ang sigaw ng lalaki at napasinghap naman ang iba pang nakakita.

Wala sa wisyong napaatras si Amber kahit hindi na tuwid ang pagkakatayo.

"Sir!"

"Are you okay sir Chace?!"

Nagsidatingan naman ang mga tauhan nito. Na nasa mga lima yata at puro malalaki ang katawan.

Agad naman nilang hinawakan si Amber sa braso na wala pa ring pakialam sa nangyayari.

"Uh-uh.. I think we need to interrupt them."
Stella said.

Tumayo agad ito.

"Both of you. Sit."
Diane glares at Leo and Stella.

"What? Amber will--"
Leo protest but Stella cut him off.

"I agree with Diane."
Then she sit down again.

Diane is so serious right now. Hindi sa takot si Stella dito pero alam niyang may rason ito. Kung may isa pang taong hindi niya ma-predict maliban kay Amber ay si Diane 'yun.

Naiwan naman si Leo na nagtatakang nakatingin sa kanila.

Wala na itong nagawa pa kaya naupo nalang ito at nanuod nalang ulit.

'Mukhang hindi din pangkaraniwan ang lalaking 'yan, ang rami ng nakabantay.'
Diane thoughts about that guy.

Chace raised his hands by stopping them to touch her. He just look at them before he'd go near to Amber.

Chace lick his lips and eyed at Amber.

"You have a hard punch huh?"
He smirks.

"I thought- hik! May fireflies sa- hik! mukha mo."
Lasing at natatawang sabi ni Amber. She thinks that the disco lights are the fireflies around them.

Natawa nalang si Chace sa inasal nito ni hindi man lang nagalit sa pagsuntok sa kanya ng babae.
He just ignores what just happened and then he just proceed to dance with her.

~~~~

After a minute...

"Whuhoo!!"
Amber jumped happily not minding her surroundings.

Hindi pa rin ito nauubusan ng energy kahit mukha na talaga itong lasing. But she's just end up looking hot with her messy hair and drowsy eyes.

Chace holds her waist and stare at her again. Amber's not stupid for not realizing they could be end up kissing with their position.

Amber blame herself for complimenting him inside of her mind. No, she's blaming him for looking like that, for looking so good and so wow.

Cursing the hell for looking him just like as hot as a model in billboards.
It is not hallucinating, the guy is really handsome. He really could pass as a Greek God with his just looks.

Ni hindi niya man lang kilala ang lalaki.
Pero sa palagay niya hindi naman ito 'yung klase ng tao na mukhang manyak.

Amber shakes her head for that thought, but she just end up looking at his lips. Sobrang lapit kasi nila sa isa't-isa.

Chace stares becomes darkened, and Amber didn't want that sight.

He mumbled something before grabing her neck and closing their distance.
She pushes him and closes her lips hard. But Chace holds her tightly and she melted.

Ni wala manlang dug-dug! Dug-dug! sparks, slowmo, fireworks, or anything na nasa mga k-drama or mga movies.

But Amber's lying if she didn't admits the guy is a good kisser.
It's not her first time to kiss a guy but this stranger is such a damn good kisser.

Her mind melted with that and she's blaming herself for drinking too much. Kung anu-ano ang pinag-iisip niya. Maski batukan ang sarili ay gusto niyang gawin.

But that kissing scene ended up with a loud violent punch!

Amber opened her eyes and look at the back of a tall guy. It's Leo!

Nanlaki pa ang mata ng babae.
Nagawa niya pang sumilip at wala man lang reaksyong napatingin sa lalaking nakahiga sa sahig.

Leo just punched the guy! At gusto niya pa ngang bugbugin ito hanggang sa malumpo.

"Sir Chace!"

"Boss!"

"Dalian niyo!"

Chace chaperones appears. Sama-sama pa nilang pinatayo at inalalayan ang kanilang nahimatay na amo.

"You will going to regret this!"
May accent pa na sabi ng isang lalaki na may malaking katawan. He's referring or talking to Leo.

Biglang nagkagulo ang mga tao ng magsilabasan ang mga ito ng baril.

Agad namang pinatigil ang disco sounds kaya rinig na rinig ang sigawan ng mga tao.
Wala man sa tamang wisyo ay biglang hinawakan ni Amber ang kamay ni Leo para tumakbo.

They have to run for their lives or else they will die.

Wala na ding nagawa ang lalaki kaya napatakbo na din ito kasabay ng mga tao.

Leo looks at Amber's hand. He feels like this situation repeat again. Feels like it's a déjà vu.

"Have I done this before?"
Leo mumbled.

Maybe it was just a déjà vu but he remembered another girl. He remembered that white mask girl.

Until they reached the exit. They immediately hide in the garbage area.

This time hindi nila dapat labanan ang mga lalaking iyun. Marami ang madadamay at isa pa, armado ang mga ito.

"Pucha! Bakit dito pa??"
Bulong ni Leo sabay takip sa ilong nito.

Halos masuka din ito sa baho. Maski si Amber ay hindi na din maipinta ang itsura. Gusto na din nitong lumayo sa lugar pero dumaan naman sa harapan nila ang mga lalaki kanina.

Agad naman siyang pinadapa ni Leo. By pressing her head down. Pero buti nalang madilim ang pwesto nila.

Until a car stopped beside them. Agad pinasakay ng mga lalaki ang tulog na si Chace, pagkatapos ay umalis na din ang mga ito.

Leo sighed in relief.
Pero may nahawakan siyang mamasang-masang bagay.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaah!"

He castaway it immediately, but his face turn into pale when he saw what is that thing clearly.

"N-n-n-n-na-napkin!"
Halos mahimatay naman ito sa nakita.

Lasing naman na napahagikhik si Amber. Hanggang ngayon, malala pa rin ang epekto ng gamot dito.

"He-he! Kita mo yuuuun? With wings pa 'yun ha! Hik!- Gerls used it wen dey have period!"
Malakas na sabi nito na akala mo may nakitang nakakatuwang bagay.
