36

Before we left, he bought things to welcome his friends. He asked me if my friends want anything. I told him that I don’t have any. That’s true. It’s because of my style that no one likes me.

We went there to think about us. But we didn’t talk about anything about the two of us.

I let it go because I prefer to be with him.

Today is Thursday. I was planning to go in but I’m also tired so maybe tomorrow. Wilder went home to the other mansion. Did his parents know that he left Manila?

I don’t know why I was too lazy to enter. My body also craves alcohol. Maybe because in Palawan there are always parties and alcohols. The bars there are also good.

I don’t have any friends to ask what happened in school. I have no idea.

Wilder said according to his friends, he didn’t do much. I hope so. Because it will be difficult for me to chase after that. Why is it that only Wilder is the content of my brain!

Everything I have today is because of him. I’m also used to wearing heels. Every time we eat at a restaurant, I wear a dress. I quickly got used to wearing dresses and short dresses. I feel comfortable there now. Not like before. Even wearing contact lenses is okay.

I’m used to Wilder’s lifestyle.

What if he suddenly wakes up and doesn’t like me anymore? I keep thinking how if it gets tired of me?

“Woah is that really you? W-what’s your name again?” Wilder’s friend asked in disbelief.

“Fertine.” I said with confidence. I’ve been drinking onti that’s why I’m acting like this.

Alcohol does something different to me. My shyness is disappearing.

No I never really like alcohol but there’s something in Wilder that makes me drink more.

“I can’t believe it, you look so different… I don’t know you’re a chick.” It laughed as it looked at me.

I feel the warmth on my cheeks.

“Hey stop staring, Toci.” Wilder said then stood in the middle to cover me and take his friend’s eyes off of me. “Calm down, Wilder. I’m just shocked okay!” It said laughing.

Like Wilder, his friends are handsome. I am also sure that they have the same state in life. These are the ones I often see with him at school. But this is the only one I know.

Wilder faced me. “Why are you wearing that?” He asked me. I’m wearing a large see trough top. A black lingerie bra inside it showing my cleavage paired with a short black skirt and red heels.

“What good is this if you’re not going to make me wear it?” I answered him. He sighed deeply.

This is not the bar we went to last time. But it’s also beautiful here and the place is big. The only difference is that it has poles on the side.

We are here because I asked Wilder if we could go to a bar. I miss partying like we do in Palawan.

The wine I ordered has arrived. I drink it in front of him. It was just a shot. “Oh she’s drinking huh?” I heard Toci say from behind. Wilder confronted him.

“I don’t know that you will be here.”

“I’m not the only one here in the bar. Geo and other players are also here.” With that I noticed a bunch of guys walking towards us.

“Hey!!” They greeted loudly. “Long time no see, Wilder! How was the vacation?” They laughed at the question. “Shut up, Geo” Wilder replied.

“Who’s with you mate? Hero asked. They looked at me.

“Is that… the nerd girl?” Geo asked. “You it dude.” Toci promised. Their eyes widened, at the same time. Their reaction was funny. “Woah! B-but how?!”

“Wait, let’s talk about going home together on Friday!” The other guy said. “Really?” Toci asked. “Yep. Wilder even kicked us out of the locker room!” It was a laughing reply.

“And until now you’ve been together… You’re Wilder! Your trip in life is different now!” One said with a laugh.

“What happened and it turned out like that?” Geo asked.

I’m bored with what they’re talking about. I whispered to Wilder that I would just dance in the middle. I waved at his friends and team too.

I danced in the middle without thinking about those who were looking at me. I’m satisfied now. Why do I always crave clubbing? I’m getting kind of used to this now.

I saw Wilder looking at me and the rest of his friends. They are still talking. I danced seductively and winked at him. His friends’ eyes widened. They look funny, are they always like that?

I looked back at Kay Wilder. His jaw is clenching. Why does he look like that? Did he not like what I did?

I saw him walking towards me. He held my waist and pulled me closer giving me a kiss.

I don’t know if his friends are watching. Is this a stunt or what?

I don’t care. I kiss him back. I never open my eyes while we are making out right in the middle of the dance floor.

The lights are dim and almost everyone here is doing the same so who cares right? He pulled them away. I opened my eyes. I can see lust in his eyes.

“Let’s go now.” He said firmly. Grabbing my wrist. I withdrew the wrist from his grip.

“Why? We haven’t even spent time here!” I said at him.

He moved closer. “A lot of people are staring at you. I’m annoyed, so let’s go.” He said with his jaw clenching.

It tightened its grip on my wrist. I look around. There were a few who were looking at us. To me.

We got out of the club. He looked at me. Im frowning right now. Enter again tomorrow. Maybe we won’t be able to bar again. Then we didn’t even stay here long.
