Under The Moon

First off, this story happened three days ago…my friend asked me to accompany him on a party he was to attend, and me, bored to death on a very hot early night, besides from not having too much customers on my mom – in – law’s drugstore (yes, i am married), asked my reliever to substitute for me and decided to tag along with him.

“Phies, at what time are you planning to go home? i can’t go home too late, you know, my work.”

“We’ll go home early, dude. i won’t drink too much naman e,” Phies said.

So after i prepared myself i waited for him in a billiard hall next to my in – law’s drugstore and we both rode a tricycle abound to the next barangay.

When we arrived at his friend’s house at about 7pm, the food was almost already out, save for enough pulutan for the drinkers and some spare for us.

“Jane, sorry we’re late…,” Phies said.

“It’s OK. Go ahead make yourselves at home. Nagtira ako para sa inyo talaga.”

“By the way this is ____ (me), classmate ko sa gym.”

“Hi! Nice to meet you ____, huwag ka mahihiya sa amin ha? just make yourself at home,” Jane told me.

“Nice to meet you too Jane, and a happy birthday to you,” i replied.

Phies and I ate then promptly proceeded to the table wherein Jane’s friends were drinking. Phies quickly joined the group and immmediately held a bottle of beer in his hand.

“Dude, wanna have a swig,” Phies asked me.

“Hell, no, man. you know i don’t drink.”

“Well, OK.”

The drinking session was already on its middle, judging by the alcohol – fueled hormone – driven reactions from the drinkers. I’m sitting beside Phies, drinking juice and eating pulutan, laughing at the jokes cracked by my new “acquaintances”. I noticed a chick throwing side glances on me, she was sitting on my right side, 5 people seperating us. I asked Phies about her.

“Dude, you know who that girl is,” i asked Phies.

“No. Just saw her tonight. Classmate yata ni Jane, e.”

“Ummm, OK.”

I was mesmerized by her devilishly seductive side glances at me, but i could not make moves to her because there were too many drinkers and it would seem to be quite rude to them if i suddenly bust out my stuff in right then and there, plus the fact that some guy may also want to lay down that chick and making my move may spell trouble. So i tried to control myself as hard as i can, with 2 weeks of no fuck or whatsoever making it more the harder.

It was 9pm, the poeple were still indulging themselves, driving alcohol into their systems, some are already drunk, two of them already dead drunk, and there i was, fully stuffed already of the fingerfoods and juice. Suddenly I had the urge to pee.

“Dude, wiwi lang ako.”

“Sige, OK ka lang ba? I’ll just finish three more rounds then we’ll head back home,” Phies said.

“Oo dude. Balik ako agad.”

I courteously exited myself from the drinking crowd and headed towards the door, i looked around, and spotting a tree, i peed right there. i was kinda bored inside Jane’s house, so i strolled on the dirt road and bought myself a cigarette. I walked quite a distance, (their neighbor the sari-sari store is good 50 yards away, i guess) having no streetlights and just the light of the moon to guide me, i slowly walked back.

The surroundings was quite eerie, full of tall grass and trees of varying heights, but it didn’t feel my mind, the thought of the hot chick fully clouds it.

I’m even having a hard – on as i think of her, she was wearing a white halter-top then, and a modest denim skirt, it all accentuated her curves, a modest pair of breasts, not too big but not too small, and a very curvaceous butt…

I was suddenly stopped by a presence about 15 yards ahead of me. it was walking slowly towards me, and then fear dawned upon me instantly.

“Holy shit…”

I’m feeling the urge to run because of the seemingly haunting apparition in front of me, but my feet was planted on the ground. Then the light of the moon shone on her. Damn my problematic eyesight.

Lady luck was smiling at me that night.

There she was, the seductively hot chick, slowly walking towards me, i can see that she was already tipsy from the drinks she had consumed.

“Hey, where ya goin’,” i asked her.

“I’ll just buy cigarettes. Naubusan ako e,” she said.

I offered her my cigarettes, and we both smoked and talked to each other. Her name was Shelly, and she was indeed a classmate of Jane. All the timne thoughts of getting laid was playing on my mind. We were already talking about many things when i suddenly thrown a silly question at her.
