Our Last Dance

"Did I close my fist around something delicate?
Did I shatter you?"

"WHAT?!" Bamboo couldn't believe what his manager was saying. "You can't be serious, right?"

"I'm dead serious, Bambs."

"Why on earth would she wants this?" I'm gonna strangle your lovely neck, Sarah Asher! He muttered.

A concert. That's what the woman wants. The long-overdue concert their fans have been requesting for the last eight years.

"Boss Vic called me this morning. To quote unquote him, "Sarah wants to do the concert with Bamboo before the year ends.".

"Has she gone crazy? Or did she hit her head somewhere and forget her memories?" His voice laced with sarcasm. "Is she asking for my death?"

Pancho and Tsiko laughed at what he said. They both knew what happened between the two. And if there is one person in this world, Bamboo could never say no that would be Sarah.

"So, what will my reply to Boss Vic?" Pancho inquired.

He took a long breath and said. "Tell Boss Vic or Sarah, I'll think about it. Give me time to think and no pressure coming from her. She's very good at pressuring people."

"Yes and no." He looked at Pancho with what he said. "Yes, she's very good at pressuring but only to you. You're the only person she ever pressures. Hahaha."

"When it comes to Sarah, ikaw any pinakamarupok na taong kilala ko. You can't say no to her, Bambs. Alam natin 'yan." Tsiko backed up what his brother said.

"You are not thinking to say yes, you are thinking about your own rules and demands in this concert." Pancho knows him too well, he smiled. "You and Sarah are both cunnings when it comes to each other. Hay! The power you two hold together is a force to be reckoned with."

"If they end up together." Tsiko said.

"I can feel the warmth of you love, Tsiko." He said sarcastically.

"Call Boss Vic, Panch. Tell him I will agree with the concert but I have my terms." Pancho and Tsiko looked at each other, both shaking their heads. This is gonna be one hell of a concert!

Bamboo smiled.
"I'm sorry, love, but it takes two to tango. You can't eat the whole cake alone." He whispered.

...
"What did he say, Boss Vic?" Sarah excitedly asked his manager. She was inside his office.

"Excited, aren't we?" Boss Vic jokingly said.

"Yes." She cannot contain her smile.

"Well, Pancho said that Bamboo will do the concert but he has his terms."

"Terms?" Her brows creased. "What are his terms?"

"As of now, I have no idea. Bamboo wants to meet with us or to be specific with you."

She raised her eyebrows. "To discuss his terms?" Playing hard to get, Francisco Gaudencio?

"Yes."

"Fine. Ask him when and where."

"Sarah, are you positive about this?" Boss Vic asked worriedly. "This will cause a big rift between you and that husband of yours. Is he even aware?"

"No, he doesn't know. I'll tell him when Bamboo agreed to do the concert. Don't worry, Boss Vic, I'll handle him. I know what's at stake."

"You are playing with fire, Sarah."

"I know, Boss Vic. But I need to do this." She said with finality in her voice.

If we get burned at least we were electrified.
