CHAPTER 23

"Woh woh woh look who's coming! Welcome back bro!" My troops greeted me as soon as I entered the bar. And that was Miguel Andrew Cortes, he's a businessman too. He owns the biggest and famous five stars, Hotels and Restaurant here in the Philippines. And even in the U.S. he's a billionaire too at a very young age. He approached me and made a body bump.
"Woh good you even thought of going home bro." And that was Michael Angelo Corpuz he owns one of the biggest gasoline stations here in the Philippines. And like Miguel he also does a body bump. He's a billionaire too.
"Where's Arthur?" I asked them when I noticed he was not here. Arthur Skye Mendez, and he's a Private Investigator. And he owns the Mendez Detective and Security Agency here in the Philippines.
"You know that one is always busy. And I heard that He has a new mission now. His mission is to dig up some info about a woman. And it's urgent, wow!" Migs answered my question, while still laughing foolishly, while looking at my face. I look at him with a sharp look.
"You shut your f*cking mouth moron! Or I will take it off from you." The laughter of the madman went even louder.
"Why so guilty bro? I did not mention any name or your either, hmm I smell something fishy about this issue." As he said while still laughing.
"Come on dude enough that nonsense, let's go to the VVIP room, before you two will burn from the heat of your head." Michael said and we are here heading to the VVIP room. VVIP was exclusive only for us, it was on the second floor of the bar. From there, you can see everyone's down, who is coming inside because it is a bullet proof glass wall.
And this bar is owned by our friend Daniel Christ Ford, he owns Exclusive Bars and Casino, The Billionaires Bar and Casino. Here and abroad. But he's not here right now, he's busy at his Casino in the U.S.
"So how's life in the U.S. bro, it looks like you have something interesting in there huh. It seems like you have no plans of coming home." Michael asked me.
"Not like that dude, it's just I was very busy there. You know my company is building hotels and beach resorts. At the same time, in five different places so I have to be focused. Every now and then I need to visit the sites." I explain to them while sipping my wine.
"How about women's?" Migs asked incredulously.
"Women's of course, they always warmed my bed." Laughing, I said. Yes it's true, I have a lot of flings. But they are only for one at a time, no more second time, just a one night stand.
"Woh, nothing has changed in you bro. No steady fling?" I just shook my head at Migs' question.
"Nope!"
"Nope, but who's that girl you asked for Arthur to investigate huh? Will I'm just curious about her." He threw a curious look at me. 'So they already know, tsk Arthur'
"Will like you, I'm also curious about her. She has a son." I stop and drink my glass of wine again. "A son? And what about her son?" Michael asked with curiosity on his face too.
"Will that's what I want to know? That kid really looks like me. I saw myself in him when I was his age, And I have these feelings, it's different, it's strange." I suddenly felt strange as I mentioned to them about the child.
"Maybe you flirted with the mother of the child before and you got her pregnant. It's possible to happen bro." Michael said. And our conversation became serious. 
"I asked her, but she doesn't even know me. I knew she was telling the truth when I asked her. And it is also impossible for me to fling that woman and forget. With her looks it is really impossible. But I already have an idea if ever." I was still shaking while I was saying that.
"Why is it impossible? Doesn't she look good?" He asked again. 
"Ewww James, have you changed your taste in women?" Migs replied that his face was still frowning as if he was about to vomit.
I looked at him sharply. "Don't make me look like you moron! Even the electric pole putting a skirt you'll going to hit." His face only got worse with what I said.
"You're serious James, what do you think of me, a mad dog pissing on the pole. Tsk." He shook his head while complaining and at the same time sipping a drink from the glass.
"Will it not be pleasant?" I still gasped at what I was said and I thought of that woman. She looks so gorgeous, it is very impossible for me to forget her. "In fact, she looks so beautiful, sexy, and hot. She's gorgeous."
"Really? So what's her name?" Migs asked as if something bad was planning. Knowing him, he will tell it when he finds out.
"Why do you ask her name? I know what you are thinking right now. You will go to her when you find out." I asked Migs. The lunatic just laughed at me.
"You are so possessive, I will not take her away from you. I will, I Just want to look at her. Just want to see."
"Tsk''. That's all I can say, But I know this one will not stop until he does not know her.
"Anyway I can help you about the kid bro If only you want." Michael told me. So I looked at him.
"How?" I asked him, I got curious even though I already have an idea what he does mean.
"Will I know someone? He can help faster. Why don't you take some DNA tests? To get rid of those questions, that's the best thing you can do." He said again.
"Yeah I already think about it." I said more. 
"Oh, that's it. Have DNA first." The firefly answered and his face became serious.
"But the problem is, if his mother agrees." I said.
"Oh come on man, the mother doesn't have to agree. I'll take care of it, if there's a wheel, there's a way." He smiled again. Something in his mind, I know.
"Look at that woman down there James, who is wearing a red tube dress. Earlier I noticed that she looked up at our place. No, to you. And she looks familiar." Michael said, still pointing at the woman he was talking to. So I followed the look he was referring to.
And my eyes narrowed as I recognized who. "That b*tch, that's Lannie, my ex-fiance. Tsk" I said.
"Oh, yeah I remember she's your f*cking b*tch who's f*cking her so called DADDY!" Migs laughed heartily.
"Don't talk about that b*tch again Migs, my head is just heating up." I rebuke them.
I immediately poured wine into my glass. And I just swallowed it. 
"So it looks like you haven't gotten over that woman yet. You made that wine into water." Michael noticed me staring at me.
I could not answer because the door suddenly opened. And two tall, strong men came in. There is no need to push and pull to them, And that was Arthur and Daniel behind him. We immediately stood up. And met the two.
"It looks like you're talking about seriously." Daniel said laughing to us and had a body bump as well. Arthur did the same.
"Long time no see bro James." He added. 
"Yeah, you know, busy at work." Laughing as I said to him.
"If Jason hadn't had an accident you would never have shown up here." Arthur said, still laughing.
"Oh oh, not that. I just got home early because of what happened. But I am actually planning to do it." I was shaking my head as I told them.
"So Daniel, I thought you were still in the U.S.?" I said again.
"Actually I just arrived, then one of my staff here told me that you are here. So I went there. And I saw Arthur right up here so we got together." He added.
"Yeah, I was really surprised to see him. But I'm happy too, by the way James welcome back bro." He said tapping my shoulder. That's Arthur.
"So, any news?" I asked him. And he nodded at me. So suddenly asked when I was able to sit up. 
"But later I will tell you. Let's just enjoy the night." He added.
"Oh come on Arthur spill the beans now, You know that one can't be stayed. It's like that dog saw a female dog that can't be tamed." Migs are still laughing crazy enough.
"Shut up Migs! I'll gonna kick your a*s out of here!" Daniel preceded me with a sharp look at him. The madman burst out laughing.
"Will, I saw her son." Arthur added. While staring at me. The other three companions of mine were stunned.
"I know he's yours." That straightened me even more from my seat. And my chest throbbed.
