The Great Escape

Chapter 4

"Ohh, someone brought his girl today. Nice catch, Cruz!" One of his teammates said as we enter their court.

"Shut the fuck up, Gomez! Just improve your blocks, bano ka pa naman." Jamuel said that made the whole team laugh.

Even though I have already watched him train, usually nasa upper box ang seat ko or namin nila Norielle. But today, he made me sit mismo malapit sa bench nila.

"Hold this" he said and handed me his towel and hydroflask.

"Anong gagawin ko rito?" I asked him, clueless with what he did.

"Inumin mo siguro tapos punasan mo pawis mo. Ikaw maglalaro eh." He said, full of sarcasm in his voice. Inirapan ko siya at binato ang towel sakanya.

"Punasan mo sariling pawis mo. Ang asim mo kaya kapag pawis!" I said and even made a disgusted look that made him laugh.

"Don't you know? Almost all the girls from the cheering squad would die just to wipe my sweats dahil amoy baby cologne daw ako." He said and leaned on me.

Naneto, alam talaga ako kung paano kunin.

"Oh tapos? Part ba ako ng cheering squad?" I said, not backing off with his stares kahit sa loob looban ko, natutunaw na ako.

"No, you're not. Pero crush mo ako and close tayo. That's the difference."

After he said that, it made me blush to the point na tinulak ko ang mukha niya palayo because of embarrassment.

"Oh no, Louiselle Amethyxe's blushing. Do you really like me that much, Amethyxe?" He said and winked at me.

No one has even called me Amethyxe. I never heard anyone call me by my second name dahil it's too hard to pronounce daw. But him, he said it and I don't know why but I suddenly find it sexy. He made my second name different, he made my second name special. Amethyxe.

The things that this guy do can really turn me on. Bakit ba nanghihina ako pagdating sakanya?

"Pre, start na daw training. Tama na landian." Tristan said and laughed. Jamuel jokingly punch him and both of them went together inside the court.

I touched my cheek since I can feel na nag-iinit ito with what he did. Jamuel, he's really different. Paano ako makaka move-on if he keeps on giving me false hopes? Or maybe baka ako lang naga-assume na all of his actions today has meanings. Baka he treats everyone the same.

The matcha latte. Fetching me to watch him train. Giving me his towel. Leaning his face, almost kissing me.

Is it normal for a friend to do this? I need answer.

"Where are we going?" I asked him since their training was already done.

"May team dinner kami. And, you're coming with me."

"Ha? Pero I'm not part of your team. Nakakahiya naman kung bigla nalang akong lalamon diba?" I said and he laughed at me.

"Sige mamili ka. Antayin mo kami dito mag-isa hanggang alas nuebe or sasama ka sa amin? You're free to choose but choose wisely." He said and winked at me.

Nubayan. Bakit wala ka sa choices? Keme.

"Fine! I'm coming with you, pero baka ma out of place ako!" I said and pouted.

"Their girlfriends are coming, don't worry." He said na ikina-gulat ko.

"But I'm not your girlfriend?" I said while helping him put his things sa trunk ng civic niya .
