NOT A RIVALRY

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

FOR the third time Noah place the empty glass of vodka on the bar counter and call the bartender to ask for another drink. He doesn't have a plan to get drunk, he was just there to distract himself and maybe relax. But going to the bar to distract himself and relax is actually not a good idea, Noah thought it would work but he was wrong.

Woman after woman came closer to him trying to flirt with him but he couldn't stand them, in a mood or not he doesn't feet like flirting with anyone else. Flirting with them doesn't feel right for he don't know why, but he followed what he felt with no regrets at all.

He was alone, he didn't told his friends nor his sisters that he's going to the bar, all they knew he's going somewhere for some important matters. Oh well, it was important though, his self and peace of mind is really important.

A week, two weeks then three, what's next? A month? Damn that man, he told him he'll just be gone for a week or so, Noah wasn't informed it would be this long, it's already close to a month. Not even a call or a message he received from his brother let alone from that bastard and that's what making him frustrated.

Naiinis siya dahil habang tumatagal na wala ito wala rin siyang makukuhang clue. Kung hindi lang dahil doon ay wala siyang pakialam kahit hindi na ito bumalik.

Does that bastard doing it on purpose? If so, then he should ready himself because at this point Noah won't hold back.

Sighing heavily Noah was about to drink the liquor when a firm hand grip his wrist resulting him to stop midway. He was about to turn and ready to fight whoever that bastard interrupt him when he suddenly froze on his seat as he recognized that familiar presence. Noah couldn't move a single muscle, even when the man lean closer to him to the point he could already feel his breathing against his ear.

"Enough Bunny, don't get yourself drunk." A familiar bone-chilling voice echoed in his ear even it was just a whisper, Noah's free hand form into fist as he clench it tightly to control himself from reacting. He should remain indifferent as hard as he can. "You don't know what you're capable when you're drunk, but I do. And besides, it's not good for your health." He added.

Noah gathered all his strength and finally decided to turn and look at the owner of the voice, but he felt like all his strength suddenly drain as he came face to face with the man who made him wait for nearly a month. And not just that, their faces is just a few inches away from each other that they could already feel both their breath against them.

In an instant as a reaction Noah quickly move not reminding himself that he's sitting on a stool, he almost fell if not for the arm immediately supported his back and the hand still holding his wrist.

"Careful Bunny." Callen said huskily.

Afraid that they might draw the attention of the people inside the bar, Noah immediately went back to sit properly but Callen's still not letting him go. Even though he's hesitating Noah's free hand touch Callen's chest and slightly push him. "Space, Callen." He said in a low voice.

Callen doesn't have to be told twice, he really did make a space between them but not until he got the liquor in Noah's hand. Umupo ang binata sa katabi niyang stool at inisang lagok lang ang laman ng baso na dapat sana ay para sa kanya.
