Score!

OMG. I can’t get over what happened last night! Major, major score: I have a date—with Marcus! Well, sort of. I know, I know, he was a little bit drunk, but then it was our officemate Kathy’s despedida party at her place, so everyone was buzzed.
Last night’s kilig moments? Well, I had just arrived at the party when I felt an arm around my shoulders. It was him! I nearly fainted with delight. And to think that I almost didn’t go!
Everyone seemed to be having a great time: The music was loud yet lounge-y, Kathy was passing around lemon drop shots, and people were steadily streaming into her Ortigas apartment.
“Been looking for you all over,” Marcus drawled, his arm still around me. I couldn’t believe how touchy he was being! “Seems like I can never catch you at the right time, ano?”
I didn’t know what to say. I guess I just stood there with him, smiling like a fool as someone passed me a plastic cup of some vodka mixture. Will something happen tonight?
“C.! You’re here!” I knew who it was, even before I turned around: Paeng, calling from across the room. “Tara na, let’s dance!”
“Sus,” I heard Marcus mutter under his breath. He took my hand, squeezed it tightly, and whispered, “Hey, I’m finally free next Friday. You want to…? I mean, you know—try going out or something?”
Of course, I said yes! Yet, I have to admit I’m also a bit apprehensive. Was it just another one of Marcus’s vague promises? Please, I hope not!
