*ring! ring! ring*
*ring! ring! ring*
“Hmm” I groaned as I try to open one of my eyes and search for that damn phone that is ringing right now. I grope under my pillow as I felt the vibration in it.
*ring! ring! ring*
I got my phone and I immediately answer it without looking at its caller ID.
“Hello?” I said as I rubbed one of my eyes then I yawn. I still feel sleepy and… a bit dizzy.
“So… you’re awake now”
My eyes immediately widen up as I heard the voice calling from the other end. I looked at my phone and I saw the caller ID indicated as “your biggest nightmare”. What the? Did she just save her number on my phone? How? I don’t understand…
“Makaria…”
“Oh, no no… remember, I am your boss” even if she is not at my side right now I can still imagine her annoying expression.
“Ma’am Antoinette… how did you…”
“What? How did I what”
“My phone… I don’t remember that your number is saved in it” damn it, now aside from being dizzy, I feel like my head is starting to hurt a bit.
“Oh, you don’t remember what happened last night?”
“Last night? Wait…” I tried to remember but… I somehow feel lost. I look around my room and it is a mess! What the heck? As far as I know, I don’t leave my room uncleaned, I mean not like this!
My lamp is on the floor and my clothes are all scattered around the room!
Wait, what?
My clothes?
“Oh, boy. You better remember that. By the way, I just called to tell you that… I had fun last night *laugh* you better go to work tomorrow, that is enough rest already”
I immediately check myself under the covers and damn! I am fully awake because of surprise right now! I am not wearing anything!
“Wait, hold on! What have you done?! Why am I naked?!” I agitatedly asked her
“Bye… Thanatos *laugh*” damn it! Why is she laughing? What really happened?!
“Hey! Wait! Ma’am Antoinette! Hey, I am still talking to you Makaria!”
*toot! toot! toot!*
DAMN IT! SHE DIDN’T ANSWER MY QUESTION!
I am so confused right now, I am not sure what exactly happened last night. As far as I remember, I went out for a walk because I don’t want to be with her, especially she told me that she will sleep beside me in my bed…
Then she followed me…
---Flashback---
“Hey, Thanatos where do you think you are going at this time huh?” As I went out, she immediately followed me and grabbed my hand. I then quickly shrug it.
“Anywhere far”
“Far?”
“Far from you. Can you just stop following me?” I start walking away without looking back at her.
‘No! I will keep on bothering you unless you tell me what I wanted to know” as expected, she still followed me. Though I tried to get away from her, I guess it will not be so easy. She is a woman who will do anything to get what she wants.
“I said no! I won’t be telling you anything okay?! How many times do I have to say that to you?” I stopped as I look at her for a moment before I turn away again and walk.
“Say it all you want, I don’t mind. As soon as you get tired, I know you will give me all the information that I need”
Damn it how can I get rid of her?! I want to take a rest! I don’t want to be with her right now, she keeps on pissing me off!
“Why do you have to need all of the information about me? What is in me?”
“We’ve been on this argument before. We are just running in circles all over again.”
“Because I won’t tell you my secret no matter what!” I keep on walking while talking to her. I am starting to move faster and faster so that she can’t catch up.
“I won’t also stop bothering and annoying you if that is the case. So deal with it”
“Will you just go back? If you don’t want to go home then fine, you can sleep on my bed all you want but I will stay here outside”
“What are you going to do here then? Hey, you are still recovering from what happened to you yesterday and I know you can’t stand a night without sleeping. So if you will stay here, where are you going to sleep then?” I stopped when I felt her hand holding my arms. She suddenly pulled me close to her so I have no choice but to turn around.
“I’m… I am… I am going to that bar! I will spend my night there!” when I saw some flickering lights of “Cupid’s Love Bar” not so far away from my position, I used it as an excuse.
“Oh, really? So you want to go there because…?” she looked at me as she raise one of her eyebrows. She seems like she is not believing what I just said.
“Because… because I want to get away from you!”
“Is that it? Or do you want to mingle with other girls?”
MINGLE? ME? I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DO THAT!
“What?!”
“Oh come on, if you want to go there, fine. Let us go together!” I was surprised when she wrapped her arms around mine. She started to pull me near the “Cupid’s Love Bar”. Damn, now should I be taking back what I just said?
I don’t really have any idea what’s in that bar, and how should I be acting inside.
“What?! W-wait…” Now, I am regretting what I did. I shouldn’t have said that. I thought she won’t be following me anymore but it is the opposite of what I expected.
“Let’s go! You said you want to go there so sure! As if you went to that kind of place before huh”
So she thinks that it will be my first time going to that kind of place huh. Well… that is correct. My goodness, you are so stupid Thanatos!
“I… I haven’t..” and I actually admit it to her?! Oh gosh. So stupid.
“I know you haven’t ever gone to that place. Based on your innocent ugly look”
“What? I am not ugly!”
“Well, you are not handsome either”
“The heck?!”
“Go inside now!” she pushed me in there so I had no choice. I went inside and I was surprised by what I saw and hear. There is very loud upbeat music and a lot of people are dancing. Some are kissing at the side. I am having a very awkward view right now.
Makaria precedes as she walks confidently to the counter. She looks like she is used to seeing this kind of place before. I followed her there and I sat on the stool beside her.
“Hi, can you please give us two shots of whiskey?” she smiled at the bartender and then looked at me as if she is planning something.
“Sure, ma’am.”
“Whiskey? What is that?” I asked right before the bartender got a bottle of what she said WHISKEY. Damn, I really regret going to this place. I don’t feel good. I can sense that something bad is going to happen to me here.
“That is a kind of delicious drink that only true man can handle”
“What?”
“Here it is ma’am” the bartender handed us the two shots of that drink. I don’t like its smell.
“Thanks. Here, Thanatos, drink” Makaria get the first one then she gave me the second one. I just looked at the glass before I looked back at her.
“I don’t trust you on this,” I said as I am worried about myself right now.
“Well, I don’t need you to trust me. All you need to do is to prove that you are a man”
“I don’t have to prove anything to you!” I AM A MAN! CAN’T SHE SEE THAT?!
“Oh, so you are really not a man *drinks*” Woah, she drank it without even flinching. So she is challenging me huh?
“Damn it, lemme have it! *drinks* what the? It doesn’t taste good!” What kind of taste is that?! It is not even sweet! I also feel some heat running through my throat. I don’t like this kind of sensation.
I quickly put the shot glass on the counter. I don’t want to do that again.
“Well, only true and handsome man can take eight shots of that”
“What?!” eight shots?! I can’t even consume this one whole shot glass then she wants me to take eight?
“Hey, give my man here another seven shots of whiskey”
“No, no, I don’t want it”
“Take it, or maybe you just don’t have the guts of being a man”
“Damn! If I drink this, don’t bother me again.”
“Sure…*grin*”
She is really testing me right now. Fine. If that is what she wants. And besides, she told me that she won’t bother me anymore so I took all of the seven more shot glasses one by one.
But after a few minutes…
I feel like my head is light and the world around me is spinning.
What the hell happened? What is in that whiskey? Why am I feeling this way? I just drank those and then this s**t happens?
“How are you now? Manly Thanatos?” I felt that she touched one of my shoulders… I want to shrug it but… I am feeling weird.
“I don’t feel good”
“Oh… that, you’re drunk *laugh* It is just eight shots and you got drunk so quickly”
Drunk? Drunk she says? Why is she like that?
“What blabberish are you talking about?”
“What? What kind of word is blabberish?”
“You, blabber and blabber like a blabberish fish bomb”
I like fish, she looks like a fish right now. Why is that? Am I alive? Where am I?
“What? *laugh* you’re saying funny words that I don’t understand. So that’s how you get drunk huh”
“Stop that blabber, you fishy woman!”
“I am not fishy! You are. Anyways, maybe this time that you’re in that kind of state, you could now tell me everything”
All I can hear now is her blabber… and I can see her mouth saying something but I don’t really understand. As I look around and see other people dancing, I feel like I want to dance also. I am listening to a piece of nice music!
“Stop that blabber... blabber miss fishy. Let’s just dance”
“What? Wait, no… we have to talk about something!”
“Dance dance blabber fishy” I stood up and pulled her close to me, then I started to dance in front of her. I feel so good at dancing right now!
“Hey, Thanatos stop. You are so embarrassing” she touched both of my shoulders but I didn’t mind. I want to dance! So I put both of my hands on her waist and swayed her. We are both dancing now! Aside from her not enjoying it.
“Dance! Dance! Fishy dance like this!”
“Thanatos, stop! No… I don’t want to dance” she pushed me, so I got a little far from her. Aww, she is a killjoy!
“How about spin fishy blabber spin?” then I started to spin myself around and around and around. Wooh! This feeling is tingling me.
“What the heck! stop that!”
“Why?! It is fun you know--*retching noise*” But suddenly, I stopped spinning as I felt something was going out of my mouth from my stomach. I don’t like this. Damn, I am having fun already then this?!
“Oh, no… no don’t do that Thanatos”
“I am going to…*retching noise*” I feel so dizzy…
And… the last thing I knew…
I released… everything…
Well, it is a relief!
“Hey, I said don’t! Don’t throw up--- damn it! You already did”
“Look at that! Is it rice in milk?” I saw the white dazzling liquid on the floor. Woah, it is nice to see! It is glowing.
“Damn it! Thanatos, that is your vomit!”
“I feel like I want to sleep in the milky rice on the floor…” I knelt down on it before I slowly laid down. I feel the wetness on my pants all the way up to my polo. It smells… awful but… Nah, it is nice to lay here.
“Thanatos no!!!”
And everything went black.
---PRESENT---
WHAT THE HELL?!
I BECAME SO DRUNK LAST NIGHT THAT I EVEN LAID MYSELF ON MY OWN PUKE?! WHAT THE HECK! I AM A MESS! IT IS SO EMBARRASSING! I FEEL ASHAMED OF MYSELF!
THEN…
I DON’T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO ME NEXT!
Why am I naked?!
What did she do to me? How did I get home?
My precious body! Has she seen all of me?!
You better remember that. By the way, I just called to tell you that… I had fun last night *laugh*
Wait…
Did something happen to us last night?!
