Love Unfolding

KAILEEN ANDY LEWIS

A Week Pa.s.sed.

Tonight was scheduled for Mei treating us for a drink outside. More like a "party all night" as Donna calls it.

Even if it"s not my thing to go partying, I was forced to come as Erika and Donna would be there.

I"m no kill joy.

"Hehehe"

Sadly for Rina, "cause she has younger siblings to attend to.

I walked out from the bedroom and found Erika by the kitchen drinking a gla.s.s of water.

She peered through the gla.s.s and eyed me.

"Can"t you dress up… less attractive?" She asked.

"Nah, I should keep up with you, you know." I answered with a teasing tone.

She rolled her eyes with that.

"By the way, you look really hot." I flirted.

She blushed.

"It"s the scarf." She countered.

"Yeah, definitely the scarf." I seconded.

Then we both laughed.

[*******]

We arrived at the destination with Mei"s expression; bitter and sour.

I volunteered to drive, as I was confident that I"m the only one sober at the end and so I get to choose where to.

"Are you kidding me?" Mei blurted.

"A KTV Bar?"

Knowing Mei…

Yeah, I brought them not to her expected destination like that last time I came to rescue her.

That one with all the drinking, dancing and flirting along with other strangers.

"Seriously Andy?"

I just nodded and timidly smiled. Good thing that Erika and Donna were also not the party type one"s. So we were on the same page.

Also, I chose this as I want Donna and Erika just to my reached, never out of my sight.

Erika is a handful when drunk and Donna… Donna is something else too. So I"m just being cautious really.

"You live a really boring life." Mei grunted then went inside the room.

[********]

I hate to admit it but I admired Mei in her alcohol tolerance. Her drinks were all hard but still sober than Erika and Donna who settled just on beer.

"So, vacation is a week away, what are your plans?" Mei asked.

"How about El Seraph Donna?" I suggested.

It"s one of my favorite beach resort destinations in the country. It"s an hour ride by plane and I"d been telling Donna about it and would take her there if there"s a chance.

So I address the question to her as I think this time, it"s that chance.

Donna just shrugged.

"Nah, I"m no third wheel."

Erika and I laughed.

"Well, we can invite Mei to come along." I insisted.

She gulped her can.

"I"d better be left alone and die in boredom."

Then she rolled her eyes at Mei.

That made Mei to smirk. "Back at you."

I laughed at them.

"Just what"s with the two of you?" I asked between my laughs.

"I don"t like her!" They shouted in chorus.

That made me to laugh more with Erika joining me this time.

[******]

Time pa.s.sed with all the drinking, singing and Mei dancing then I spotted that Donna has been drinking Mei"s liquor for a while now.

"s.h.i.t"

I immediately grabbed the shot gla.s.s in her hand but it"s too late. She"s already drunk.

"s.h.i.t s.h.i.t s.h.i.t"

I glanced at my side, Erika was nearly there too as she started to grope me anywhere.

"Give me a break"

Guess everything has slipped out of my hands.

[******]

I requested Mei to help carry Erika as I will go help Donna.

Well Donna doesn"t really need help as she can still stand firm by herself but I knew her, I"m worried for "other thing".

So we walked to my car, parked at a distance.

Well, when we arrived here awhile ago, there"s no more parking s.p.a.ce and so I was forced to park a little further from the bar; just a walking distance though but kind of isolated and dark.

Donna and I walked behind Mei and Erika. Erika was clinging at Mei"s neck for support, stumbling at her every step.

"My drunk girlfriend"

"Really"

Then as we we were about to reach my car, I"ve heard whistling from our back.

I closed my eyes a little longer and bit my lower lip.

"s.h.i.t"

"Not now please"

And Mei seemed to get wary, she stopped and turned around us.

I immediately closed our distance, pulling Donna with me and gave Mei and Erika a rea.s.suring smile.

"Hey girls, do you want to know what heaven taste like?"

Then a chorus of laughter followed that.

"This is s.h.i.t"

There were four of them surrounding us. They all have blood shot eyes and l.u.s.tful too.

"Boys, look, we"re kind of in a hurry so if you all just let us be on our way." I stated as calm as I could.

"Taste heaven first, Sweety."

Then another laughter in chorus were heard after I said that.

I pinched my brows. They"re beyond reasoning anymore.

I could already see the dread and fear in both Erika and Mei"s expression.

But before I could do anything, Donna was already cracking each of her fingers.

"This is really s.h.i.t"

"Mind if you take us to that heaven then?" Donna challenged.

A man boastfully approached Donna and the next thing I heard was a cry of pain and the cracking of bones.

"Now"

"s.h.i.t has started"

I just leaned on the car, parked on my side and watched the show.

And not long, one by one went down limping on the ground.

As Donna made her way to me as the show was over, one of the beaten boys sneaked attack her with a pocket knife in the back.

Of course, I took care of that. Donna hissed as she picked up the fallen knife and eyed me.

"d.a.m.n"

"Really a s.h.i.t"

As out gazes met, I could already understand what she meant and so I complied.

I stuck out my other foot and she intentionally tripped with it.

"Oh s.h.i.t." She mumbled and fell on the ground, stabbing the man"s foot with the knife.

"So merciless"

A loud cry echoed.

"Ops, I tripped."

"Tripped your a.s.s"

Then she stood up only to trip again, stabbing the man"s thigh.

"Oh s.h.i.t"

"Goodness, I tripped again."

I could only really watched the scene.

"Have mercy"

Then Donna finally stood up and a grim plastered in her face looking down to the beaten eggs.

"If you continue to resist, then my foot will apologetically slip many more times."

Then she left them in pain, without mercy at all.
