My Pipo

"Oh my god! When did you came back?.." Vivi was so surprised to see the person sitting alone in the lounge. Adrian told her that he was to introduce her to someone so she was expecting to see someone she didn't know.

The man just sat there aloofly without any intention to respond. Vivi was already used to this. This man doesn't like to talk much. She gave Adrian a questioning look.

"He came back last week." Adrian said faintly while guiding her to her seat.

"Such big news and I didn't know?

" He said to don't bother him in that week's time because he'll be acquiring his grandfather's company back.

"Seriously now?" Vivi gave the man an aggrieved look. "Do you really think I'm a bother?

" You've been bothering us since we met.. "Adrian said as a matter of factly.

The man raised his brows and spoke for the first time in a cool tone.

" Are you not?.."

Hearing the man's words Vivi grinned. It's really Marcus. He still spoke so little and direct. But Vivi didn't mind it. She likes this man precisely for this kind of attitude.

"What do you mean Am I not? I haven't seen you in a long time. At most, I'd just call you everyday for a meal together..." Vivi said playfully.

"Gosh! Look at you. You became more handsome and more manly." Vivi praised, forgetting the other person beside her.

Adrian's face was filled with grievances. He was also there but she didn't give him a single praise. He was dressed very handsomely tonight too, alright.

"Are you staying for good?. I hope you're staying for good.

Marcus only gave her a nod before saying," Say more and somebody will flip the table on you.." giving Adrian a side glance.

Vivi turned her head, the sight of Adrian sulking amused her.

" Im just casually asking, what are you sulking for? Come, come,...let's toast." Vivi raised her glass and the two followed suit. Vivi downed every drop of wine in her glass then stood up.

"I'm so happy that you're back for good now.." Vivi then gave Marcus a warm hug. " I have to go back to our lounge, my girl is not used to places like this. Vivi gave Marcus a wink and the latter gave off a meaningful look.

Adrian didn't notice anything and was about to follow her but she didn't let him.

" Are you two still on the same phase as before?" Marcus asked. Adrian only replied him with a heavy sigh.

Vivi, Adrian and Marcus were University buddies abroad. The two once saw Vivi getting harassed by some local thugs and they helped her. Since then, even if they didn't want to, Vivi stuck with them like a bubble gum. She even moved near where the the two lived.

"Guys, guys....this is so good. I like it so much. Give me more..." Maru was holding a glass next to her face. Her eyes droopy making her look so adorable.

"It's called Margarita. We'll have plenty of it." Hunter was so amused to this new friend getting drunk after 3 drinks.

" Wow, I haven't been away for too long and you're already drunk?

" Babe! I'm not drunk. Where did you go? I like this one, Babe this taste really good..." Maru was now hugging her glass of margarita in her chest trying to make Vivi see how much she liked it.

Hunter was the only one who was left with Maru,. and the other three,.who knows where they went.

" Come on babe, let's go dance..." Vivi pulled her up and dragged her into the middle of the dance floor.

Maru wasn't really familiar with this but because she was under the influence of alcohol she let Vivi drag her.

Seeing Vivi's body swaying and bouncing she started to do the same.

Soon the other boys who disappeared from their face a moment ago suddenly appeared and joined them on the dancefloor.

With the shining lights and upbeat music, they danced happily and wildly without any care in the world.

They would occasionally go back to their table to drink then back to the dancefloor again.

This was the first time that Maru let herself loose. Even her hair was let loose and she didn't care if it was messy. She drank a lot and was having a blast.

After some time, Maru became more and more dizzy. She didn't know where Vivi went. There were only Nate, Kai, Hunter and Finn dancing with her.

Maru stumbled to go back to their lounge.

She was too drunk that she didn't know she went to the wrong one.

Maru looked puzzled upon seeing a stranger sitting alone in the lounge that she thought they originally occupied. But she soon got mesmerized staring at the man's eyes.

Those eyes looked so cold yet beautiful and that look from his eyes gave her a sense of familiarity.

After staring at the man for a whole minute, Maru burst out crying like a child and pounced the man infront of her.

" Waah....I thought I would never see you again..."

"Pipo,...my Pipo...I thought you'd never come back..Waaah.....!

Marcus knitted his brows and was about to push the girl who pounced on him. But his hands hanged mid-air when he heard the girl called him Pipo.

This was the scene that Adrian witnessed when he got back. Carrying a drunk sleeping Vivi in his arms. He went to look for her when he can't see her anywhere. He asked one of his female employee to check the ladies room and she was found passed out in one of the stall.

" Oh you got a girl already?" He was surprised to see his friend being hugged by a woman. What's more surprising was he didn't avoid it.

People who knows Marcus know that he never liked to get close with women, except for Vivi who've been with them for a long time.

" Wait,. isn't this Maru??!

" You know her?.."

" Vivi's friend. They came here together.

" Help me get her off me.." Marcus felt his chest getting wet by the girl's crying.

Adrian laid Vivi on the chair to help Maru up. But Maru didn't budge and hugged Marcus even tighter.

Then she wailed again.

" No, you can't....leave me again... Im not letting go..."
