Art of being a Player...

41st day

"Hey can I come with you girls?"Margaux asked sweetly.

No one dared to answer her, pinilit naming di pansinin ang sinabi nya and we continued chatting, while the guys are just looking, even Cian is just watching us.

If I know nagpapaawa lang itong babaeng ito, nice move!

"Uhmnn..Cian.. can you just send me home? I think di ako welcome dito? She said in a small voice.

"Buti nakaramdam...akala ko manhid eh."nakangising sabi ni Coreen na ikinatawa ni Eunice, samantalang ako ay nagpipigil na tumawa.

"Stop it Coreen! You don't get to tell that to my visitor!" inis na sabi ni Cian na lumapit kay Margaux na umaarteng umiiyak.

"And you don't get to shout at my friend!" sabi ko na napatayo na rin sa kinauupuan ko habang nakacross arms.

"Carra! Don't start!" he said in a warning tone.

"What? Nananahimik kami dito, kung sensitive lang yang VISITOR mo edi sana naramdaman nya na we don't like to hang out with her!" sabad naman ni Eunice.

"Don't tell me pipilitin mo kami to hangout with that special friend of yours?! It's a big no no!" sabi ni Coreen na tumayo na rin sa tabi ko.

"You know what, I can't understand the three of you, all I'm asking is that you should at least be nice to her..I invited everyone here to have fun, not to have a cat fight!" mariing sabi ni Cian.

"It's ok Cian, kung ayaw nila saakin..at least you're here for me.."maarteng sabi ni Margaux.

I glared at her.

"Thank you Margaux for understanding.." he said in a soft voice.

Nakita ko naman si Luke na nakatingin saakin na para bang sinasabing I should calm down.

"If you can't treat Margaux right..then at least try to be civil at her..we are after all staying under one roof. So please Eunice and Coreen tigilan nyo na ang pagpaparinig, at pagsulsol kay Carra!"

Coreen's eyes widen, nagkatinginan sila ni Eunice, halatang nainis sa sinabi ni Cian, halata kasing sila ang sinisisi ni Cian.

"Ok that's it, we are out of here..girls pack your things sa hotel muna tayo tutuloy hangang hindi naipapaayos ang flight natin. Luke please be a dear and help us book a flight back to manila tomorrow." Sunod sunod kong sabi sabay lakad papunta sa kwarto.

Nakita kong naglakad narin sila Coreen papuntang kwarto habang si Eunice naman ay kinakausap ni James, kahit makiusap pa si James kay Eunice magpaiwan for sure tatangi ang bestfriend ko, she will refused to stay here without me, I know my friends too well, we have a promise: 'boys will be our second priority..friends will always be the number one.'

I was about to enter my room when someone grabbed my arm. I turned around to look at him. Actually kahit di ko tingnan I know it's him. I can clearly smell his scent, I love the way he smell..and I always tells him that, that's why he said that he will never change his brand of perfume.

"No one's leaving the Villa Carra."

"Oh? Well the last time I checked, my friends and I are about to pack are things and leave." I said as I snatched my arm back.

"Carra come on! Do I have to beg? I already told you..She needs me! I have to look after her!" frustrated nyang sabi sabay hawak sa batok.

"And I'm telling you, you can accompany her, spend your time with her..since she is that special! More special than your girlfriend.. yeah actually you can treat her as your girlfriend since she almost acting like your girlfriend!" sarcastic kong sabi.

He exhaled, he looks as if he's trying to control his anger.

"Carr—-"

"She likes you..can't you see?! And she's doing this to ruin us! And she's succeeding!"

"I know." Tipid nyang sabi.

"What?" naguguluhan kong tanong. He knows? Na gusto sya ni Margaux o na Margaux is succeeding in ruining us?

"I know that she likes me..." balewala nyang sagot.

My eyes widen. He knows yet he's doing nothing?

"You know?! And yet you're letting her do what she's doing?! You're letting letting her go in between us?!" I asked angrily.

He sighed.

"Look..it's not easy, I know that she likes me, she's been vocal about that, it's just that...I don't want to hurt her...she will be devastated if—-"

"So it's ok that I'm the one who's going to be hurt?! Maybe you like her too?! If so..what's the point of me being here? What am I even doing here? To watch the two of you having a great time?!" I said while gritting my teeth. I can't believe this!

"Carra no! can't you understand?! She's special to me and...please Carra, don't be childish!"

"Childish?! Huh! Then don't be a jerk! You know what, I'm trying so hard to make this relationship work..I've never been in a relationship..but I really want this to work. Today is our 41st day right?! You asked for 90 days..90 days to make me fall.. and I'm almost there Cian, but you did not let me fall since you were the one gave me a reason not to fall ..instead you made me fall out of this relationship!" I said while trying hard not to cry.

"Carra..." he said then he tried to hold my hand but I stepped backwards.

"S-since we are not in a normal relationship, I can't ask na magcool off muna tayo right?! So I will just ask for a break, time first muna Cian...I need space, I need to be away from you." I aid then I bit my lips hard to control a sob escaping from my lips.

"No! don't say that!" he said. But I just walked passed him pero bago pa ako tuluyan makapasok ng room ko  ay nahabol na nya ako at nahawakan sa braso.

"You can't just say that you quit! We're not in a game Carra..so don't treat it like a game na pagnagsawa ka na you will just quit!" he said in a pained voice.

"I've decided Cian!" matigas kong sabi.

"What do you want me to do?! To leave her! To let her on her own? Your friends don't like her, the guys won't talk to her..she will be alone if I do that?!"

"You really don't get it do you?!" I said then I looked away. "I'm not asking you to do those things, sana bago mo sya isinama ay naisip mo yan, but you were so insensitive! Anyways wala nang papatunguhan pa ang pag uusap na ito, just enjoy your vacation with your special girl and I'll enjoy mine." I said then I removed his hand from my arm and closed the door behind me.

Bago ko pa tuluyan mailock ang pinto, a tear escaped from my eye that I wiped instantly. I breath deeply and control myself. I won't cry because of him, kahit na I'm hurting. And yes what I said awhile ago was true..i'm almost there..falling for him, actually I aready like him. And those days that we're together are the happiest days of my life. And I really believed that he love me, maybe hindi lang ganoon kalalim since may space pa sya for a special girl.
