Chptr 47 Bonfire Gala

"Your loss attorney," Ajy smiled as he showed himself in front of attorney Mo. "Nevertheless, my lips are sealed."

He strode inside the party leaving the attorney alone at the balcony. He wanted to meet Mr. Mo but he was gone in an instant, he just learned that the man already went out and drove his car exiting the villa. "He probably needed some time alone."

During the party, a lot of people tried to befriend him but he just smiled at them and gave excuses so they won't be able to use him in getting acquainted with the Aragon family. This made the others more angry at him. They secretly sneered, "Hmmph! You think you are worthy to talk with us? It's only because you were the godfather of the Aragon triplets, else we wouldn't even spare you a glance."

Of course, Ajy already knew their anger was directed at him but wasn't even bothered. He just went towards Drac and chatted with him secretly for a while before going to Jazz and the others from the Maharlika Corporation. They congratulated him and they talked merrily up until the guests went home either drunk or tipsy.

The Aragon triplets were long asleep since it was already late at night. Still, he went to see them first, kissed their foreheads before leaving the Aragon villa.

On the next day after their morning routine, Ajy told everyone that he's going back to his province. He gave Erka some cash for their daily foods and assigned auntie Lave to take care of the apartment while he's not around.

Before he went back to his province, he went to the mall and bought a projector, some cameras, laptops and printers, groceries, clothes and also virtual reality game bracelets for his family. He wanted them to experience the fun of playing the virtual reality game called W.A.R..

It took him seven hours to traverse the mountainous highway when he arrived at his hometown. But instead of going back to his house, he settled at an inn because he wanted to surprise his family during the big event the next day.

After paying, the owner of the inn also informed him that guests could join the bonfire gala. It is a mini event of the inn in which each guests should bring some foods and drinks for everyone to consume and then just enjoy the night talking with each other or just have the experience of having a bonfire. And Ajy would love to attend. He then spent his time working out waiting for the night to arrive.

Just after he took a shower and went out of his room, he already heard some guests who were excited to go at the bonfire gala, "You should prepare yourself and try to hook up with some men during the bonfire gala. It is where I met a man and the first time I saw him, gosh my panty just slid down my thigh."

Hearing that, Ajy shook his head smiling. He didn't know that this event would actually attract a lot of the guests because it could give a chance to those who were singles to mingle and be with someone who could attract them.

Since the sun had already settled down on the horizon, he went out to bring some foods and drinks to bring in the bonfire gala. The moon was already hanging in the sky while the stars could be seen twinkling with grandiose when Ajy arrived at the backyard of the inn where the bonfire gala would be held.

The fire was already a meter high when Ajy went there. He gave the foods and some drinks he brought to the staff of the inn who was assisting the guests. He then found an empty spot and sat down there while he opened the beer he bought. He could see that there were three groups, one group from the Visayas region, the other one from the foreign country and the last group were both locals and foreigners. Each of them were merrily chatting with their own group. Also, women outnumbered the men in each group. There were also like him who came alone to experience the fun of the bonfire and also to have fun.

"Excuse me mate, this spot taken?" A tall with a handsome asked Ajy.

"Feel free to sit down sire," Ajy replied. It was a moment of silence for the two of them when he introduced himself, "The name's Ajy by the way."

"Charlie here," The guy replied. After that, they talked to each other and Ajy learned that he was an Aussie guy and wanted to visit his hometown to have a vacation. They shared stories about their life experiences like their studies, works and women. Though he never told him about Mira and the rape thing. They were enjoying chatting while drinking when a woman disturbed them as she wanted to talk to Charlie alone.

When the woman and Charlie left, Ajy noticed that some men were hooking up with women and some women were also flirting with men. He smiled and went to grab foods from the table that was prepared by the inn.

"Try this," Ajy recommended to a woman who was trying every dish by tasting it. The woman looked at him and tried tasting the food he recommended - the pinikpikan.

"Also, try the soup," He also said as he went back to his spot. The woman tried and for her, it tasted good. She then grabbed more food and went back to her group but when she saw that her friends were already talking to someone she doesn't knew, she immediately gave up on the idea. Instead, she looked around and found Ajy who was alone eating while sipping a beer.

"Alone?" The woman asked.

"Yep!" Ajy nodded.

The woman then sat down beside him where Charlie sat down a while ago. She was so hungry and devoured her food in a few minutes.

"Seconds?" Ajy asked.

"That's enough for me," The woman smiled sweetly.

Ajy thought she was staring at the beer he was holding after she was done eating, "Want some?"

She was startled because she was lost in thought at that moment, "I don't drink sorry."

"Oh I thought you were looking at my beer," He said as he gulped down the rest of the beer and opened another one. "You alright?"

She smiled at him then looked around. She saw her friends happily flirting with someone they just met and she was happy for them. As for her, she's not really into this party type of thing but her friends just urged her to join. She came here to unwind because her two years long distance relationship ended because her boyfriend wasn't happy with her anymore. She was too preoccupied from her work because she wanted to save for their future but in that regards, she didn't expect that she was neglecting her boyfriend.

"Can I have one?" She asked.

"Don't get me in trouble, your friends might accuse me of teaching you to drink," Ajy honestly replied.

She laughed with poised, "Your the first! Every time I attend this kind of event, most men would flirt with me, offer me drinks, hook me up, seduce me and some would do their best to trick me into drinking."

"Good thing you said most, not all. Else, I would just leave you here alone," Ajy replied smiling then gulped again the remaining beer in his hand as he opened another one.

"You're really quite amusing you know? You've piqued my interest!" This time, her wandering thoughts about her relationship were gone and was replaced by how the man in front of her not have any interests in her.

Smiling, Ajy looked at her, she was actually a kind of beauty that would attract men, not because of her face alone but because of how she interacts with others. Still, he wasn't a bit interested in her.

The two of them talked for a while when she noticed that all of her friends were gone and she was the only one amongst them remaining, "It was fun talking to you, I got to go."

After ten minutes, the woman went back to where Ajy was and asked hurriedly, "Can I sleep with you?"

"Cough! Cough!" Ajy instantly threw up the beer that was inside his mouth upon hearing her. "Dafuq? You for real woman?"

"I.. I.. just.. It's because I was sharing a room with a friend but she was busy doing something there with a man," The woman said embarrassed. She realized that she spoke hurriedly and her words meant differently. She was supposed to ask if she could sleep in Ajy's room.

"I'll book you a room then," Ajy tipsily replied.

"Tried that, but it was fully booked. Another guests arrived an hour ago and they have all taken the empty rooms." She said while fidgeting her fingers looking at the floor. She actually took a lot of courage to ask Ajy if she could sleep in her room but the thing that came out of her was different so she was so embarrassed to look at him.

"You do realize that a man and a woman in a room....." Before Ajy could finish his words, she interrupted him, "I don't care! And you can have me for all you want."

The lust in him instantly awakened, adding the effect of the alcohol, he felt hot and his thing down there grew up in an instant. He looked at her, caressed her face then kissed her torridly.

"Get a room you two!" Shouted a woman.

They realized that they were still at the bonfire gala and that they weren't alone. They became embarrassed as Ajy grabbed her hand and hurriedly went to his room.
