Secrets in Disguise

24: Love and Pain

***

Khiya POV

The vibes from before is completely different right now! I can still feel the awkwardness lingering in the air! Everyone is silent. Are we really going to continue this game with—

"Gusto kong suntukin ni number 3 sa mukha si number 4 at halikan ni number 4 si number 5"

All of our stare went down to him with are you serious look— he showed his card— he's the joker. What's with the punishment?

"Are you— "

"Reveal your cards. I'm looking forward to it" alongside with his aura his voice changed too. He's so damn serious!

"That was a hard one. Tangina pre, nanahimik na ako eh!" my eyes widened when I saw his card, what the— number 5!

"Pfft! Magkakaroon ka na ng first kiss, Razz!"

"Ulol! Malas naman"

I immediately checked my card— and I sighed in relief. Safe.

"Ahm... " why it was her?!

"Yung pinakamalambot pa talaga yung manununtok" agree. It was Lian again, and based on her face reaction, she doesn't like the idea of it.

"I'm sorry in advance for— "

"Okay" my eyes literally went wide.

What the hell?! We all looked at him— if Chase is number 4 then, he's gonna be punch by Lian and he's going to kiss— damn it! Thinking it makes me vomit!

"Gago? Seryoso ka ba sadya dito, Ianne? Straight akong tao tapos ipapahalik mo lang ako sa kapwa ko may talong!"

Agad akong nagbaling ng tingin kay Khe, please don't—

"Rules are rules. This is just a game" the freak!

Swear. I'm gonna hit him hard!

"Ahm... Jhas?"

"Don't worry" he said in a calmed tone before nodding at her.

I looked away. I don't know why, I just do. It's just I don't like to see their interaction.

"Damn! Masakit yun!" my eyes shifted after I heard it— what the! She really punched him!

"I don't know that you're that strong, cuz!"

"Patingin ka, Jhas— woah! Masakit ba?"

"Shit! Don't touch it" taboy niya sa kamay ng kambal kong mapang-asar na hiwakan yung pisngi niya. It's swollen.

My hand wants to reached him but before I did, I suddenly remember. Why would I? He may thinks— or they might think that I'm acting strange.

"Razz! Ikaw na ang sunod"

Hindi pa nga pala tapos. He was going to kiss this annoying jerk pa nga pala.

"Jhas, bro. Reminder lang, alam kong gwapo ako kaya 'wag mafa-fall ha" what the heck?

"Asa"

"May sinasabi ka panget— "

Alongside to his widened eyes, my eyes almost dropped. He kissed him. He did! What the fuck!

"Tangina pre! Uso paalam, dugyot!"

Calm yourself down, Khiya. Sa cheeks lang yung kiss— no way! This annoying jerk was so damn lucky for nothing!

Carysse POV

This day was surely one of the unexpected days of mine. Sa daming ganap sa loob lang ng tatlong oras halos hindi ko na ma-process lahat. Everything is out of the picture! Nang dahil lang sa simple card game na yun ang dami ng nangyari!
