**BRENT's POV**

My friends were noisy.

I hate them.

They were dancing and singing at nagtatawanan din sila. Their trash were everywhere.

"Oh, that's right! Let's drink!" tuwang tuwa na usal ni Pieter at agad syang naglabas nang mga liquors. When did they bought it? I didn't even noticed na may binili silang mga liquors!

Agad namang silang nag inuman at lumapit na lang ako kay Maxie.

"Are you bored?" tanong ko sa kanya at agad ko syang niyakap.

"Nope. Your friends were fun to be with" umiling sya kaya naman nakahinga ako nang maluwag. I don't want her to feel out of place.

"We can watch a movie kung gusto mo. Pwede ko namang iwan ang mga kaibigan ko dito while I'm having a nice date with you" I'm falling deeper and deeper to my darling angel.

"It's rude kung iiwan mo lang sila dito. They were celebrating your high grades and you, being close to your parents again, after all" She declined kaagad.

Speaking of parents, Sa side nya lang kami legal. I do want to introduce her to my parents but I'm afraid that they would be displeased to know about my choice of girl.

I've just made them proud and I'm happy dahil they treat me better again.

I know this is a bad idea.

"Brent, Let's have a toast!" usal ni Lhester at lumapit sya sa akin then hinila nya ako papunta sa iba pa naming kaibigan.

"I don't want to drink" pag tanggi ko naman. I told Maxie that I won't drink any liquor again.

"It's your celebration so you need to drink!" pamimilit naman ni Reggy.

"I won't drink" I insisted.

"Yes, you will drink" Usal naman ni Mark habang umiinom.

"I'll just cook some fish, squid and–" Hindi ko pa tapos ang sinasabi ko nang biglang nagsalita si Pieter.

"We don't want you to cook. We have enough food as it is. Come on, Don't be a kill joy. Let's drink" He pointed out.

"But Maxie will-" I didn't get to finish my word again dahil muli na naman silang nag salita.

"Oh, right. Maxie will drink too" And now si Maxie naman ang pinilit nila.

"I don't drink" pag tanggi naman ni Maxie at umiling pa sya.

"Both of you will. Don't worry, ngayon lang naman eh" They insisted at hindi din sila tumigil sa pag pilit saamin.

Nakainom sila so they were extremely talkative and in the end pumayag na din kami.

"I will drink one glass of it and that's it" usal ko at pumayag naman sila "And Maxie will drink a half glass" I don't want her to get addicted in drinking.

Pumayag naman si Maxie since this is a celebration at minsan lang naman daw ito.

And that is one of our biggest mistake.

After drinking our portions they insisted that we should drink more. Parehas na mababa ang alcohol tolerance namin ni Maxie kaya madali kaming nalasing and before we knew it, we were dancing and singing together with our friends already.

Bottles upon bottles of liquor were soon emptied.

We drunk like there's no tomorrow.

I opened my eyes and I saw my friends sleeping. Hindi ko alam na nakatulog pala ako.

"Darling?" bulong ko. I looked around pero hindi ko nakita si Maxie.

"Where's my darling?" I was quite drunk and my vision was blurry "Why am I sleeping on the floor?"

I was confused and my head is hurting.

"Darling" usal ko na naman and I tried to stand up. Agad akong nakaramdam nang pagka hilo kaya humawak ako sa table "Where are you Darling?"

I'm even wondering kung bakit hindi ko kasama si Maxie.

"Did they stole my darling?" I stumbled a few times habang hinahanap ko si Maxie and I end up in my room.

"Darling?" bulong ko nang makita ko syang nakahiga sa sahig at mahimbing na natutulog. Dahan dahan akong lumapit sa kanya at agad din akong humiga "I found my darling"

I was starring at her when I remembered that we still didn't have our first kiss.

"Darling, Kiss me" Bulong ko but she's asleep kaya naisipan ko na ako na lang ang hahalik sa kanya.

While kissing her I decided to wake her up. But the thing is, she's drunk too.

She kissed me back at agad nag init ang katawan ko and I thought that kissing wasn't enough.

We were both under the influence of alcohol that's why we can't think clearly.

Soon, I was groping her body and my hands were all over her.

We did things that we will surely regret but at that moment, all I could think was the pleasure that I'm getting from what we're doing.
