Seth's POV

I yawned and stretched out my hands as I made my way to the kitchen. I left Marian a sticky note telling her do some grocery shopping this afternoon and found the grocery bags placed over the counter top. I started digging through the bags, looking for something to eat.

I took out the food I needed and made myself a pb&j sandwich. Leaning against the counter with one hand over it, I took a bite of the sandwich. Marian makes my life so much easier. I had to give her credit for that. She was my magical cleaning fairy. I could make a mess out of this pad and I'd wake up and everything would be clean and tidy again. I didn't had to run to the grocery store when I forget to do my grocery shopping or have to dump my dirty laundries at the laundry shop when I run out of clothes to wear. I could just leave a sticky note and Marian would take care of everything for me.

Ah, this is the life.

An idea popped into my mind. Since she had been a good house cleaner and I felt kind of bad for playing a prank on her days ago, I thought I'd take her out. I reached for the wireless phone that rested on the counter top and dialed her number. It rang a few times before she picked it up.

"Hello?" I heard her annoyed voice on the other line. "Ano na naman kailangan mo?"

I swallowed the sandwich I was chewing. "We're going out. Wear something nice."

"Ano? 8:35 na ng gabi, Seth Timothy Fonacier, saan naman tayo pupunta?"

"We're going to party." I said.  

"Party?"

"Yes, we're going to a nightclub to party. Wala ka naman sigurong gagawin ngayong gabi."

"Well..." She trailed off.

"It'll be fun. You'd have to be euthanized if you get anymore boring." I chuckled.

"Asshole." She said in her usual irritated tone.

Marian's POV

I wore a black mini skirt and a black sleeveless peplum dress with a deep v-neck to match it. I admired myself in front of the mirror. I had never looked this sexy before. Hindi naman ako usually nagsusuot ng ganitong damit. It was actually a gift from Abby for my birthday a year ago at ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng chance na isuot ito. Wala naman akong gagawin dito sa bahay. Nang magkapamilya na ang mga kaibigan ko, I basically had no social life.  I rarely go out anymore since may kanya-kanya na kaming buhay ng mga kaibigan ko. Instead of spending the night watching the new dvd I just bought this afternoon, I decided to go with Seth. Makakapaghintay naman yun pero ito minsan lang 'to.

I jumped to my seat when I heard a car stop in front of my house. I peeked through my window and saw a sleek, black matte car. Seth stepped out of it in a red shirt, a black blazer over it, and a pair of jeans. I whistled quietly as he walked towards the door. He was fine as heck! He was oozing with confidence and charisma that would melt a beating heart. Kung hindi ka lang gago baka nagustuhan na kita.

He pressed the doorbell and I walked over to the door.

"Hi." I greeted him with a smile.

He didn't say anything. He just looked at me from head to toe scrutinizingly. My throat went dry under his gaze, I swear I couldn't feel a single drop of moisture in my throat especially when his eyes paused on my chest. His adam's apple bobbed up and down his throat. Was I the only one who could feel the thick tension between us?

"That'll will do." He said shrugging his shoulders and turning his back to me. He walked back to his car and I hurriedly followed him. He sat on the driver's seat and I sat next to him on the passenger's seat. His car smelled of some really nice and expensive cologne and mint. It smelled just like him and I loved it. I felt drunk off his smell.

"Bakit ako ang sinama mo? Siguro hindi ka sinipot ng date mo, 'no?" I shifted to my seat to face him. "Dakilang yaya mo na nga ako gagawin po pa kong dakilang proxy? Awas mo 'to sa utang ko ah."

"Marian, I'm doing you a favor here. We're going to find you a guy." He said with his eyes glued to the road in front of him.

"So, sinama mo ako para hanapan lang ng lalaki?" I scowled.

"That and this is what I do for a living." Sabi niya.

"Professional match maker ka?"

He threw a dirty look at me before turning his attention back to the road. "Hell no! I get paid to party."

"How?" I curiously asked.

"I make appearances at clubs, I do a little club hosting, and I get paid for it." He answered.

"Interesting." I nodded my head. "Nakabili ka ng Lamborghini sa paghohosting? You must be making a lot of money."

"Not really. I just make enough."He shrugged.

"You just make enough? Eh isang katutak nga ang kotse mo, puro mga luxury cars pa. Huwag mong sabihin may mayaman kang sugar mama o kaya gay benefactor?" Nanlaki ang mga mataa ko.

 He threw me another scowl. "Jesus, no! My family's actually into aviation. We own an airline company. My dad wants me to work for him but that just won't do. I don't want a boring 9-to-5 life."

He parked his car in front of a high end night club and we got out. A lot of people were already lined up infront of the entrance. May dalawang lalaking nagbabantay sa magkabilang gilid ng pinto. We went straight to the door and was surprised when Seth held my hand. I felt sparks ran through my whole body, it took me by surprise.

"She's with me." Sabi ni Seth sa dalawang bouncer. They nodded their heads and we went in. The whole club was packed with people, it was dark and smoking. Nakakabingi ang ingay ng kanta at sigawan ng mga tao. We made our way through the crowd with his hand still holding on to mine. Pumunta kami sa pinakagitna kung nasaan ang stage.

"Stay here, okay?" He said and jumped onto the stage. He took the microphone off the stand.

"Are you ready to party?" His voice echoed off the walls, overpowering the loud music. Biglang nagtilian ang mga babae sa paligid ko. They shrilled so high, I had to cover my ears.

"SETH WE LOVE YOU!" A group of women next to me screamed.

Seth's eyes scanned down the crowd as if searching for something and it stopped right at me. His beautiful olive eyes were fixed at me. I sighed involunarily. Right up the stage, he was ridiculously beautiful. Now I understood what these girls next to me were shrilling about. He totally owned the stage. He had this enigmatic charm that it was hard not to be drawn in.

"I love you too." He winked.

Lalong lumakas ang tili ng mga babae at nagtatalon pa. I threw them a sideway glare. Hah! Feeling niyo! Sakin siya nakatingin no!

The women were so attentive as he spoke. Bawa't sasabihin niya, tumitili ang mga babae. I was getting bumped and screamed at in the ears. I pushed my way out of the crowd to get some fresh air. Walang masyadong taong nakaupo sa bar kaya doon ako pumunta. I sat at one of the stools and ordered a Shirley Temple. I just sat there, taking little sips as I watched Seth make the crowd go wild from afar.

"Hey, you look familiar." I turned my head at the voice. A man stood in front of me with a pair of cute chinky eyes. "It's you!"

"Huh?" Inilayo ko ang bibig ko sa straw. My brows furrowed.

"You're the girl at the restaurant with the..." He touched his forehead. I suddenly recognized him. Siya ang lalaking nagpahiram sa akin ng panyo.

"Oh, right..." I laughed to cover up my embarrassment.

"Buti naman natanggal mo na." He chuckled. "Have you found one yet?"

My cheeks heat up in embarrassment. "Hindi ako yun. My friend played a prank on me."

"I know. Nagbibiro lang ako." Tumawa siya. "Sino'ng kasama mo? Mag-isa ka lang ba?"

"No, I'm with a  friend." Sabi ko.

"Nasaan na ang kaibigan mo?" He asked.

"He's kind of busy right now."  I said, looking up at the stage.

"Well, do you mind if I join you?" He politely asked.

"Not at all." I answered.

"I'm Patrick." He introduced himself and held out his hand.

"Marian." I shook it.

Umupo siya sa tabi kong stool at umorder ng vodka. He seemed like a nice guy, very warm and friendly. After I finished my Shirley Temple, he ordered me an apple mojito which I couldn't say no to. I had a very low alcohol tolerance but I didn't want him to think I was no fun. We had a long and nice conversation. Halfway through my drink I started feeling a little heady but I still drank it all up.

He asked me to dance with him and I happily said yes. We went to the dance floor and clutched my arms around his neck to keep my balance. I rested my head on his chest as we danced. I felt like the whole room was spinning from the alcohol, the ray of different lights beaming and moving all over the room made it so much worse.

"Are you okay?" He gently asked.

"Yeah..." I answered.

Nagulat ako ng may biglang humaklit sa braso ko. It almost threw me off balanced.

"Seth." I smiled faintly. "Hi."

"I've been looking all over for you." May halong inis sa boses niya.

"I've been watching you, you were great!" I smiled, complimenting him.

"I told you to stay there, didn't I?" Sabi niya at tumingin kay Patrick. "Who's this guy?"

"Oh, he's my friend, Patrick." I said and turned my attention to Patrick. "Patrick, this is my other friend, Seth."

Patrick gave him a polite nod and Seth gave him a scowl.

"We have to go." Mahigpit akong hinawakan ni Seth sa braso at hinatak palayo sa dance floor.

"Where are we going?" I asked, struggling to pry my arm off his grip.

"Do you know how easily someone could drug you and take advantage of you?" Asik niya. His olive eyes turned hard and a shade darker.

"Chill, he's a nice guy." I laughed. He looked at me with slanted eyes.

"BODY SHOT! BODY SHOT!" I heard a bunch of people chanting. Pareho kaming napatingin ni Seth. There were a crowd of people around the bar, screaming and howling. Tumakbo ako papunta doon at sumunod sa akin si Seth. I saw a girl lying at the top of the bar counter. It was so fascinating to watch. Akala ko sa movie lang nangyayari ang mga ganito. Everyone cheered as the guy drank from the girl's belly button, licked the salt between her ribcage and used his mouth to get the slice of lime from hers.

Tumayo na ang babae pagkatapos.

"Who wants to try it?" Sigaw ng lalaking nasa bar. His eyes stopped to mine and he flashed a naught grin. "You, the beautiful lady in black, do you want to try it?"

"NO!" Seth firmly said.

"Yes!" I defiantly answered. I wanted to have fun, really have fun tonight, and try something new. I felt bold and feisty tonight.

"Then come on over here." He stretched out his hand and beckoned at me.  The crowd started cheering and felt more lively. I took his hand and he layed me down the counter top. When I looked up as layed there, I saw Seth's eyes staring down at me with fury I'd never seen in anyone before. I gasped as he ran his finger over my stomach and it went to the hem of my dress. He lifted it up about an inch under my breasts, his hand brushed against my skin. I felt static, my hair rising all over my body—in a good way. He poured a tequila on my belly button, his gaze never leaving mine. I swallowed, nervousness started to set in. He sprinkled a little bit of salt between the exposed part of my breasts and I gently held the lime he put between my lips.

I saw his head dipped down to my stomach. I took in a sharp breath when I felt his warm lips touch my skin. It felt ticklish and tingly and good. He slurped the tequila from my stomach and I had to bite my bottom lip to keep my moan back to my throat. He lifted his head up and went for the salt between my breasts. The sensation of his tongue between my breasts gave me chills all over my body. It was so gentle and so good, my toes curled. I wanted to protest when he lifted his head back up. His head leveled to mine, he looked at me in the eyes. Now his eyes were bright and smoldering and burning through mine. Napaawang ang bibig ko ng bumaba ang ulo niya sa akin. The lime dropped and I felt his lips against mine. A sound rose from my throat and my eyes widened. It was my FIRST KISS EVER!

I felt his lips moved against mine, licking the bottom of it. My body went limp and I relaxed. I started moving mine too, mimicking his movement. I slightly opened my mouth to breathe and his tongue was immediately inside of my mouth. He delicately explored it, tasting every part of it.
