Chapter Twelve: It’s called sharing
“Armie!” Devon said sternly, snapping me from my reverie.
His eyes were intense.
I pulled the joint out of my mouth and cleared my throat. “Rei is my—-“ I trailed off.
Wait! Why do I need to explain myself to him?
Instead of giving Devon a reply. I lifted my chin in a bitchy way and looked at Rei’s direction.
Rei is looking between me and Devon, an amused smile is playing on his lips and his eyes twinkled with curiosity.
I widened my eyes, feigning innocence. “You forgot to lock the door?”
Reinald chuckled and I heard someone snort unbelievably in the background.
“What?” I asked using my innocent voice, trying my best to ignore the fact that Devon’s presence makes my heart race.
Rei burst into laughter. “Really Armie?”
I huffed and waved my hand impatiently. “Handle this.”
Rei leaned forward. I distinctly heard him mutter “interesting” in my ear.
I ignored him. Rei better get rid of him for my sanity. Baliwala na binalik ko yung pagkakasandal ko sa couch.
I closed my eyes and put the joint to my lips. I inhaled it, letting my mind run wild.
“Who are you with? This is a close knit party.” Narinig kong tanong ni Rei.
He’s still here?
Hindi pa rin ako kumikilos sa pagkahilig at pagkakapikit ko, pinabayaan ko silang mag usap.
“He’s with me.” A female voice said.
I frowned. Who’s that?
“Katrina!” Gulat na narinig kong bulalas ni Rei sa tabi ko.
I opened my eyes and glanced at Rei’s direction. He looked bewildered, surprised and confused?
Katrina huh.
Rei frowned. “You’re with him?”
I raised my eyebrow and looked over my shoulder.
Katrina rolled her eyes. “That’s what I’ve said, right?”
Rei chuckled, finding humour in this awkward situation.
Another Barbie wannabe?
I looked at her face intently.
No.
This one is different. Her stance screams “I’M SEXY AND ALL MEN WANT TO KISS MY ASS!”
So bakit nya pinatulan si Devon?
I felt my guts rise up but decided to feign a nonchalant gesture. “You upgraded.” I said, looking at his date with a smirk plastered on my lips.
Feeling ko tabingi yung ngisi ko. Acting has always been so easy for me until now.
I cleared my throat and crooked my head at one side tauntingly. “But obviously, this one is already occupied. Get another room.” Hindi ko na hinintay yung sagot nila. I slumped back against the couch.
They obviously wanted to bang each other kaya nga sila nasa second floor kung nasaan lahat yung kwarto. So why wasting their time here?
Pinagpatuloy ko nalang yung ginagawa ko. Only this time, I inhaled my joint like my life depends on it.
Is this really weeds? Why is it not working?
“Can we join you guys?”
I turned my head and found Devon’s girl beside me, looking extremely amused while waiting for my reply.
This woman is really something.
Definitely the exact opposite of Devon’s Barbie doll.
I raised a brow and looked at the booze on her hands. “Good thing you have the booze.” Tinuro ko yung kama sa harapan namin ni Rei. “Help yourself.”
Like they said, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Katrina walked towards the bed with Devon close on her heels.
Devon is still eyeing my joint in disapproval but this time he kept his nose out of my business.
Smart choice.
When he saw me looking at him, his expression turned blank.
I snorted.
So typical.
Binaba ni Katrina yung hawak nitong alak sa night table habang nilalagay naman ni Rei yung joints sa lapag.
My poor baby.
“You want some?” Alok sakin ni Katrina kaya napatingin ako dito mula sa pagkakatitig ko sa marijuana sa lapag.
Joint and booze? Not a very good combination for me. Gusto ko pang magising nang matino bukas.
“No thanks.”
Katrina shrugged her shoulders. Binigay nito yung hawak nitong alak kay Devon.
Kumuha naman si Rei ng dalawa sa side table. Binuksan nito yung isa at binigay kay Katrina.
What’s with the honourable act?
Katrina and Rei started talking about random things.
I inhaled my shit and looked at them with curiosity.
I’m feeling light weighted and trying my best to ignore the man in front of me na wala na yatang alam gawin kung hindi ang titigan ako.
He’s staring too much and he’s excessively quiet for my liking.
I shook my head, trying to clear my mind.
Nag-focus nalang ako sa usapan nila Rei. I give my joint some attention habang hindi ko inaalis yung mata at tenga ko kila Katrina.
Pagkatapos ng ilang minuto kong pagtitig at pakikinig sa kanila. A thought crossed my mind.
I grabbed Rei’s arm, a wicked grin plastered across my face. “Are you in love with her?” I blurted out.
Katrina coughed and placed her booze back at the side table. I heard her giggle.
Devon is of course looking at me. I glanced away and tried to ignore his presence. Again.
“What?” Gulat na tanong naman ni Rei. Natigil ang pag tangka nitong pag inom.
“Are you deaf now?” I asked sarcastically.
Rei’s laughter boomed around the room. “Where did you get that idea?” He asked, still laughing his ass off.
I shrugged my shoulders. “You’re not hitting on her.” I looked at Katrina’s direction na tumatawa na rin. “And well, she’s hot.” I continued, waving my hand in front of her body.
“And?” Rei asked, raising his eyebrow amusingly.
I looked at his crotch, a wicked grin was back on my face. “And you’re not having a boner.”
Rei laughed even louder.
I glanced at Katrina’s direction. “It’s a compliment. No offense.” I said and shot her a wink.
Katrina smirked at me. “None taken.”
I giggled and decided to drop the subject. “Now, can you get me another joint?” Balewala na tanong ko kay Rei habang tinuturo ko yung joints na nasa baba ng side table.
Tumigil sa pagtawa si Rei at napailing nalang sa pagbabago ko ng usapan. He knew I have this trait to jump from one subject to one another when I’m high.
“That’s enough already Mie. Just drink with us.” Rei said with an encouraging smile.
I rolled my eyes. Ano ako utu-uto?
I looked around.
Devon is staring at my face. I raised my eyebrow inquiringly but he just shook his head and glanced away. He swallowed the remaining contents of his can in one mouthful and started talking to Katrina for the first time.
I chuckled. Even though there’s nothing to laugh about.
I placed my joint between my lips and inhaled it.
I shifted sideways and looked at Rei. I wrapped my arm around his neck. Rei stiffened. My action caught him off guard.
Katrina and Devon stopped talking.
I smirked and placed my mouth against him. I looked straight into his eyes and exhaled my shit inside his mouth.
Rei regained his composure and grabbed my waist. I’m practically kissing him in front of Katrina and Devon.
I broke away and started giggling. “You’re welcome. Now, give me another joint and——.”
Devon is already on his feet. “What the fvck Armie!” He growled, looking dead serious.
I raised my eyebrow in a teasing manner. “What? It’s called sharing.” I replied, eyeing him slyly.
“Fvck!” Devon muttered. He makes a series of grunts and incoherent mumbles.
I smirked and shot him a sugar sweet smile. “Wait! Don’t tell me you are jealous?”
