04

I have been to clubs before. Contrary to what people think about me, I enjoy the loud music. People doing whatever the hell they want to do under the colorful laser lights. People drinking after drinking, mingling after mingling and dancing after dancing. There are a lot of people here who came to enjoy and let the booze consume them: whether to live or to forget.


I have been to clubs before and I enjoy it. Except, of course, If I have to be with my half sister then that's where it makes it all the opposite.


I feel irritated - annoyed even from all the happy people. Nagsasaya sila pero ako kailangan ko'ng makipag-bonding sa kapatid ko. The things I do for my Dad...


"If you're just going to stand there and act like a complete fool, then be my guest. Just don't stand near me." She rolled her eyes while looking at me from head to toe, "You're going to make all the guys think I'm a bore too."


Inirapan ko din siya, "I never wanted to go with you in the first place, Matilda." I emphasized her name and averted my eyes from her and instead paid full attention to the dance floor. Let alone dream of it. She makes it seem like I dragged her into this. Ha, you wish! "This dress is suffocating me kasi! I didn't know Slut Factory has Kids section." I have a smart mouth. I smirked - in my mind.


"Caly, hindi ko kasalanan kung malaki boobs mo."


And she has a smarter one - that I know.


She snickered. She seemed distracted. She kept on looking across the floor. I saw her wink and bit her lips, trying to look seductive. Which she succeeded because she laughed and made her way to the dance floor.


This is one of the things I hate about her. Lagi niyang pini-pin point ang mga bagay na nai-insecure ako like my physical appearance. I know I look okay because my mom is beautiful - and I'm not just saying it, my mom was a former model from the states. My mom was slender, sophisticated even. Her body when she was younger looked similar to what Matilda is rocking now, flaunting actually. I, on the other hand, also was an okay body. But that's just that. Just bigger boobs, I guess?


I sighed inwardly and scowled at her. I hate her guts so much.


She looked at me over her shoulder, "I'll leave you here. I'm going to enjoy this party while you continue being pathetic and all. Dyan ka naman magaling."


Her black cocktail dress clung like a second skin on her body. My dress looked similar to her except mines had a vertical cut at the bottom of my tailbone. My hair on a sleek ponytail and my eyes adorned with smokey palettes. Matilda rocked her signature dark red lipstick while I settled for a nude. The comparison never left me. Never will, I guess.


I felt a presence behind me followed by an alluring octave.


"Hm," I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and faced him, "Hello, beautiful thing."


I laughed not because I liked it but because that's just not about to do it. "And you get girls attention by calling them that?"


He chuckled, charmingly. And when he did, I finally got that chance to see his deep dimples that could make someone's day. Wow, this guy is beautiful. Never mind the pickup lines.


His fitted black polo clung to his muscles made every woman jealous and wonder what would it feel like to be held by him. His dimples was a given, of course. His dark eyes have a soft feel to it but that's what makes it intimidating. 


"Chaos." He said.


I stopped laughing but kept the smile on my face. Chaos? My eyebrows furrowed. "What Chaos?"


He chuckled as if something is funny, "My name."


I suddenly felt dumb, "Your name...?"


"...is Chaos. Chaos Herrero." He said slowly as if talking to a kid.


Realization hit me. "Oh! Your name's Chaos. Ngayon lang ako nakarinig ng ganung pangalan. So, you bring destruction to anyone's life."


"You could say that." I was amused. "But wouldn't you agree that everyone needs a little chaos in their life. So, what's yours, sweetheart?"


I smiled, "Caly."


He bit his lip, pausing for a good second and then he said, "Not even going to tell me your last name?"


I smirked, "Baka ipa-hanap mo pa ko."


He laughed, again, and I was lucky to have seen his deep dimples again. He really was a beautiful man. He stared at me with a smile on his face, "Pa'no mo nalaman?"


"Let's just say that pickup line miraculously worked." It's a good thing I'm pretty good at keeping a conversation without sounding like a desperate single. Which I'm not, because I have the best boyfriend ever.


"Good to hear, ilang oras ko din yun pinagisipan." He made me laugh. "I just couldn't stand there and stare at you no more. I had to know your name." I blushed. He really is a shameless flirt.


* * *


The night ended and I was happy. Not to mention, completely exhausted. Matilda never really did try to bond with me and I was completely okay with that or else it would end up pretty bad and uncomfortable. But thank thy gods for Chaos, who has been a complete gentleman and a sweetheart for staying with me the whole night and just talk about random things, like his name.


He said his mother gave birth to him in a very uncompromising timing. She brought Chaos in the world while still trying to fix the chaos she brought to her own.


It was never a dull moment with him. He tried to get my number and my last name the whole chat though I never gave anything. All I can really offer is a conversation and maybe even a friendship. It's a bit assuming for me but it's obvious that he's interested in me and when he said he was really I wasn't a bit surprised about it. He was that blunt. I told him I have a boyfriend. And what he said made me laugh even more because he was just so charming!


"Whoever that guy is alam kong mas pogi ako. Come on Caly, please. Just your last name kahit hindi na number. Luluhod pa ba ako?"


He was persistent as a kid in a candy store but I'm just not that kind. I don't want to lead him on. I'm in love with Apollo and that's the real hard truth. All I can give to Chaos is another friend to his list and it's clear he would settle for that but I was doubting.


Ayokong magselos si Apollo.


Chaos is a very attractive person - that is a given. Knowing Apollo and his issues, ayoko na lang makadagdag. Though a friendship wouldn't hurt anybody still I don't want complications. It's better to be safe and settled.


Just like what Chaos told me when I said goodbye that made my hesitations out the window. It made up my mind., "When we meet again at hindi mo pa rin sasabihin ang pangalan mo, I'm afraid I'd have to do everything to find out who you are. Just your name Caly, your full name is all I need and I'd have my ticket to bring chaos to your life. And it will be a good one."


I don't want chaos in my life. Not with anybody. And absolutely not with Apollo.
