Zach's POV:
*Flashback*
"Boy, taena, gala naman tayo. Puro kana lang trabaho riyan. Buong araw kana nakatutok sa laptop mo." reklamo ni gago.
I exhaled loudly, and I take off my anti-radiation glasses. I looked at him and scoffed.
He was laying on my sofa while using his phone, getting bored.
"Gumala ka magisa mo," I respond as I stood up.
I walked towards the container and filled my paper cup with some fresh water.
I took a glance at him, he was sitting now while scratching his head.
"BGC lang, oh! Dali na. Weekend naman bukas, pre."
I laughed when I saw his facial expression. Parang batang nag mamakaawa dahil may gustong ipabili na laruan.
"Fine," I said as I walked towards my desk and fixed my stuff.
"Yun oh! Yun oh!" pasigaw niyang sabi sabay tumayo.
I took a sigh. "Saan ba tayo? Sino-sino mga kasama? At... anong oras?" sunod-sunod kong tanong.
"Where? BGC, Xylo. Who? You, Sebastian, and I. Time? right f*****g now, asshole."
I scoffed with disbelief on my face. Is he f*****g serious?
"It's only 3:30 pm! Anong gusto mo gawin natin doon? Buong hapon tayo nasa Xylo?!"
"Yes!" he said with confidence. "Let's get wasted, ano ba?!"
"Can't we just go there at 10 pm? Baka nga sarado pa 'yon, e."
He scratched his head again, disappointed. "Fine. But we will get wasted, aight?"
"Then who's gonna drive us home, asshole?"
Talking to this guy makes more me stressed than my work. He's getting to my nerves.
"Edi si Sebastian! Sus, basic."
No f*****g way. I am not getting wasted like I won't suffer in the morning. Throwing up, hangover? Headache?! No!
"I'm not getting wasted. I would rather watch you guys get wasted."
"Ang dami mong alam! Kailan yong last kang nalasing at nag enjoy, ha? Ha?"
I held my nose bridge as I sigh deeply. f**k. "5 months ago-"
"Then let's get f*****g wasted!"
I sprayed my Creed Royal Oud on my white polo as well as on my neck and wrists. Mabilis kong kinuha 'yong susi ng sasakyan at agad lumabas.
"Ang tagal tol!" reklamo ni Sebastian.
Konting-konti nalang, sasabog na ako sa inis dahil sa dalawang kasama ko. Kabilaang tenga ko may nag re-reklamo.
Sabay-sabay kaming pumasok sa loob ng sasakyan at agad kong pinaandar nang buksan ko yong aircon sa loob. Pinaikot-ikot ko ang manibela para maka abante kami dahil may sasakyan sa likod namin.
"Let's gooo!" sigaw nong isa nang makaalis kami sa parking lot.
We got stucked from the traffic kaya naman yong dalawang mga gago nasa likod ko puro reklamo. Kung hindi reklamo, puro kwento sila sa mga walang kwentang bagay.
After 30 minutes, we arrived at the club. I can hear the chaotic party song from the outside. As I parked my car, we went to the VIP line.
As we walked inside after showing our IDs, the loud chaotic club music faced me. People were dancing, enjoying, and feeling the music. I can't help not to laugh when Sebastian started to dance while we were on our way to our VIP table.
Ginaya nong isa naming kaibigan si Sebastian habang kami naglalakad kaya tawang-tawa kaming tatlo.
"Do you know we are called as Night Crawlers since it's friday night?!" sabi ni Kai habang sumsayaw pa rin.
"Sayaw ka rin, Axel, wag KJ!" sigaw ni Sebastian.
I rolled my eyes and I started dancing the way they dance while laughing out loud. The staff laughed at us while they were escorting through our table.
"Aye! Aye! Aye!" sigaw naming tatlo.
Nang makarating kami sa VIP table namin, the bottle service introduced to us the most purchased liquors in Xylo.
"So, which one do you prefer, bros?" I asked them.
"Whisky, pre," Sebastian answered.
I took a glance at Kai. "Whisky rin. Make it 750 f*****g ml for 16 shots!"
"Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve, please." I said to the butler while smiling.
After a few minutes, he served us the whisky. "Welcome to Xylo at the Palace. Enjoy the night, sir." the butler smiled and left.
We poured our glasses altogether and started drinking.
We stood up at sumabay kami sa tugtog habang sumasayaw. I raised the glass while dancing and screamed.
I noticed Sebastian went missing kaya napatigil ako sa pag sayaw. I searched him using both of my eyes, at natigilan ako sa isang table.
He was with someone, flirting; while he was touching the woman's thighs.
Oh, God. That was f*****g quick.
Kai was still with me while the two girls are dancing infront of him. I drank the whisky in my glass hanggang sa maubos.
I started walking from our table to pour some Whisky again but someone suddenly bumped on my chest, and it made me stopped from walking.
"You alone?" she asked while raising her head to look at my eyes.
I shook my head. "Nope. I'm with my pals, why?"
Okay, first of all. I had to f*****g ne with some girls here for some reason. It makes me feel f*****g uncomfortable— plus it reminds me of my f*****g ex.
"You looked lonely. Wanna drink with me?!" she smirked.
I raised my eyebrow. What the hell? Did I looked lonely? I was just going to pour my damn glass to drink, how is that considered lonely?
Fucking insane.
"Come onnn. Don't hesitate!"
I sigh. "Fine. But let me pour some whisky first."
Being two-faced is quite difficult. Damn it. f**k this game.
We sat down at our table and I drank. The whisky tasted amazing. I can feel the spiced sweet vanilla in my throat.
"Ugh, fuck." I groaned.
"You okay?! You seemed drunk!" she held my arm.
"I'm fine. I just lost count of how many shots I drank already."
She started talking but I could not comprehend what she was blabbering about. All I know she was screaming so I can hear her.
"What's your name?!" I got back to my senses when she asked me.
"Axel."
"Cute name," she chuckled. "I'm Emma!"
Emma.
Aight. I hope I won't forget about her name. I might need it.
I told myself I won't take tons of shots, but here I am. I saw myself dancing with a woman, feeling the music while drinking.
My visions are already blurred and spinning. Whenever I try to move my body, I feel like I'm going to lose my balance. I can't even walk straight anymore. Goddamn.
"I feel like we are both drunk!" she screamed while laughing. I nodded as I smiled a bit.
Yeah, f**k it. She looks drunk as well.
May babaeng biglang lumapit samin sabay kinausap si Emma. We both made an eye contact but I couldn't recognize her. Everything is blurred.
Emma went close to me. "I have to go! It was nice partying with you... you... uh, whatever your name is!" she laughed loudly and started walking away with a girl.
What the hell did she say? f**k. I couldn't sink in everything! I only understood when she said it was nice partying with me.
Sebastian and Kai appeared infront of me at inaya pa nila akong umorder ulit. Wala sa sarili akong nag oo sakanila kaya bumalik kami sa table namin.
"Patron Mule, Patron Margarita, and Dirty Martini, please." Kai said to the butler.
"Will that be all, Sir?"
"Gutom na ako. I would like to order some Truffle Parmesan Fries, sir!" said Sebastian.
"For me, Honey Sriracha Chicken," sabi ko.
"And for me, Pork dumplings, please." sabi naman ni Kai.
Our special cocktail served after a few minutes as well as our meal. It was a good service. I like this club.
My drunkness lessened when I drank some water. I also started eating and drinking the special cocktail. However, I'm still not able to drive!
"Alamin mo na 'yong bill, pre. Let's go home. I'm f*****g tired." reklamo ko.
He nodded. "Yeah, sure. It's already 2 am, I'm pretty sure we already had fun."
After waiting, the Butler gave us the bill. I wasn't suprise that it's gonna cost a lot since everything in this club is 1000/10.
"32,160 pesos." sabi ni Sebastian nang basahin niya.
"Alright, let's mix our cards and see if who is going pay!" said Kai while taking out his card.
We bring out our cards together and gave it to the butler. He shuffled the three cards, and he blindfold himself.
There are platinum card, black card, and a gold card.
"Yong mapipili talaga ni sir, ay s-swertehin malala! That person is gonna pay 32 thousand pesos!" sabi ni Kai habang tawang-tawa.
I shook my head and I took a glance at the butler. Humarap siya samin and he smiled. Pinakita niya samin yong credit card na nakuha niya.
"Ayeee! Expected!"
"Congratulations, Axel!" Tawang-tawa nilang sabi.
They took their credit card back while my black card was at the Butler's. After paying the bills, we asked someone to take some pictures for us. We honestly looked horrible than we what we looked like when we arrived here. I would rather upload the first ones. Parang naging before and after, puta.
"Pasok sa kotse, pota! alas tres na, boy!" reklamo ni Sebastian kay Kai.
Nasa backseat kaming dalawa habang si Sebastian ang taga drive. I was staring at the window, waiting until I get home.
"There was something off with the Butler earlier, Axel." seryosong sabi ni Kai.
I smirked. This what I like about this man. He's observant although he's wild. He's good at hiding.
"Did you gave him the credit card where you're using your fake name?"
They both said, 'yes' gladly.
"New interesting information also. One of the guards there are one of the member of an organization."
"In what organization exactly?" Kai asked.
"Huang's," I said. "Which organization member were you flirting earlier, Sebastian?" I asked with no hesitation.
I knew there was a reason why Sebastian flirted with that woman.
"I didn't get the chance to ask her." he turned around to face us. He pointed out his bruise on his cheekbones and that made me stunned.
Why the hell didn't I notice that?
"She knew my intentions towards her. But I attached a tiny camera from her black dress. It's not noticeable, since it's in the edge of it." seryoso niyang sabi.
I smirked again. They are smart and observant. They know what they were doing kahit hindi na sila sabihan kung paano ang magiging flow ng mission.
"Goodwork, boys."
*Kai's POV, at the office.*
"Pilitin mo kasi si Axel mag Xylo, pota naman!" sabi ni Sebastian nang ibagsak niya ang susi sa mesa.
"Para saan pa, tol? Halos lahat naman alam niya. Bago natin siya i-inform, alam niya na ang lahat."
"No... there is something we need to see, pre." he said while taking off his coat.
"And what the hell is that?" I raised a bow.
"Finding out what those motherfuckers look like! Now, go!"
Nang makarating kami sa Xylo, nag inuman kami saglit at hindi nag tagal, naki-sayaw kami sa mga tao dahil napapansin namin na may mga taong tumitingin samin. It was off.
Habang kami nag sa-sayawan, kinalabit ako ni Sebastian at bumulong sakin. "Keep your eye with that bartender."
He started walking away. May gusto sana akong sabihin kaso hindi ako pwedeng sumigaw dahil mahahalata kami ng nag ma-manman samin.
I glimpsed at Axel, and it made me laughed because he was overly acting that he was drunk. This guy is just tipsy!
Umalis ako sa tabi niya at naglakad ako papuntang bartender.
"Tequila, please." I said and sat down.
I noticed he stared at me for three seconds before he smiled. "Coming right away."
Confirmed. You f**k.
He served me the Tequila, and I saw something mixed with the Tequila. Kinuha ko yong Tequila at papunta na sana ako ng table kaso nakita ko na may kasamang babae si Axel. Pucha, is he drunk or he's just pretending? Namumula na siya. Muka na ring hilo.
I went to the Men's bathroom at pagkapasok ko sa cubicle, tinapon ko yong Tequila. Tangina ka, ah. You can't f*****g drug me.
Pagkalabas ko ng Men's bathroom, sinenyasan ko si Sebastian nang magka eye to eye kami. Kumuha ako ng beer sa mga waiter na nag iikot sabay lumapit kay Sebastian.
I sat beside him and smiled. "Yo, pre! Who are you with, huh?" I took a glimpse to the girl.
She smiled back. "His new friend!"
"That's great! Well, Sebastian and I are buddies since high school. Cool, right?!" I said while with a gritted teeth.
Nag daldalan sila dalawa kaya sumandal ako sa sofa habang sila naguusap.
".- .-.. .-.. . --. .. .- -. -.-. ."
Umalis agad ako at pumunta kay Axel. He was dancing but the girl left already. Binati ko siya kaya naman napatigil siya sa pag sayaw. Hindi nag tagal, dumating din si Sebastian at napansin kong may pasa na siya sa muka niya pero maliit lang.
Tangina?
Pumunta kami sa table namin. Gitna namin si Axel. I took my glass and I poured some Whisky. While pouring, I did the morse code again at my glass when I noticed Axel as well as Sebastian was looking at what I was doing.
".- .-.. .-.. . --. .. .- -. -.-. ."
"- .... . -... .- .-. - . -. -.. . .-."
We asked someone to take a picture behind the bartender's spot. Buti nalang may shot doon na medyo kita ang muka nong lalaki. We also pretended that we were taking a selfie, but behind of that, we were using the back camera to capture the butler who's on his way towards us.
Bingo, bastard!
*Zachary Axel's POV*
It's been 3 weeks since what happened to the Xylo. We investigated some few information about them. We also made our comrades follow and monitor them. And the information we have received isn't good, as always.
But, why would I feel afraid? Since I was little, I have been hearing gunshots and a dying people scream. This taught me how not to trust anyone and be observant from anyone. Thanks to my Dad.
"Speaking of your Dad, pre, ain't he wanted you to get a girlfriend so you can inherit everything he have?" Sebastian started the conversation.
"Yeah. We argued a lot about that. I don't see the point of getting a girlfriend for an exchange, the fuck."
Whenever this stupid topic is being talked about, it seriously pisses me off.
"Well, let's search for someone, then. Didn't your Dad mentioned a school?"
Napakunot ang noo ko at tumingin sakaniya. "School? Gago ka ba?"
"It's a university, dumbass! Geez."
Oh, yeah. Besides, I would like to find someone whose 19 above at least.
"Whatever. Let's go."
It was 20 minute drive. We stopped infront of the university. I also noticed the students are already dimissed by their professors.
"Any girls na love at first sight ka?" natatawang tanong ng gago.
I didn't answer his question. I just kept looking at outside.
Hindi ko namalayan na ilang minuto na ako nakatitig sa labas pero wala pa rin ako nahahanap.
"You know what? f**k it. This is stupid." I started the engine kaso bigla akong pinigilan ni Sebastian.
"Wait! Wait lang... How about yang babae?" he said while pointing out the woman he was pertaining about.
Hm. She looks familiar.
"Definitely not my type." I said while shooking my head.
She looks aggressive, loud, talkative, and so forth.
"How about the girl she's with?" He looked at me. "I bet she's your type." he smirked.
"Ulol,"
Tawang-tawa naman siya kaya mas lalo ako nainis. "I will take that as a yes, boss." dugtong niya habang umiiling.
I started the engine again and drove away.
Kinagabihan, I was looking at the ceiling. f**k, I can't sleep. I tried every position to make myself comfortable but still didn't work.
I suddenly remembered the girl we saw earlier. Geez, she's definitely not my type as well. Quiet? A modest woman? f**k, no.
But whatever... I'm just gonna use her. I will discuss those stuff when we meet and have the time to talk about it. It will be temporary... 3 months is good.
"Bro, are you for real? You're gonna make her sign this?" Kai asked while looking at the paper.
"Obviously, dumbass. That's the only way."
"But, wouldn't be better if you're just gonna tell her?" singit ni Sebastian.
Fuck. That was my plan last week, and I'm meeting her soon since I already asked Sebastian to take her here.
But no woman would agree with me if I'm gonna tell her I'm going to use her to inherit everything.
Before the evening came, I had an argument with my father. It was all about his stupid investments. I'm so f*****g tired with this stuff. We also argued about my so-called-lovelife. I already told him that I'm getting a girlfriend, but instead, he wants me to f*****g marry the woman who I literally just saw at the university for only a few seconds!
I barely know her. I don't even know what her name is, the f**k!
Is it really required to get a damn partner? Can't he just give me everything? He said he wants the best for me... well, he don't! I don't want a girlfriend nor a wife! I would rather spend my time at office.
Someone knocked at the door and I responded as a sign they can come in. I heard the door opened, but, I was busy reading the paper for the woman who I saw that she will sign when we meet.
I spinned my swivel chair to see who came inside my office.
What the f**k?
It's the girl from the university...
She looked like her soul left her body.
Puta, nakakatakot ba muka ko kaya ganiyan ang reaction niya?
Sebastian went outside. And now, It's only the two of us. f*****g asshole.
The atmosphere is freaking making me feel uncomfortable.
She broke the silence when she asked me who I am, but I didn't respond.
It wasn't nice meeting her. It was f*****g awkward. Plus, she looked traumatized by my face.
Is there something wrong with my damn face?!

Ps: Keep in mind this is FICTIONAL. All the events has ever happened here are not true. Furthermore, I haven't tried going to Xylo, hence, there are might some actions that Xylo normally do that I wasn't aware how it actually works; such as how VIP guests are being treated, table services, butlers, bartenders, and espcially the playlist. I only made those playlist.
Thank you for reading!
