Art of being a Player...

Stop breathing and stop living...

"Again.." our dance instructor said.

Cian and I decided to hire a dance instructor. Wala na kasi kaming time ni Cian para mag isip pa ng step. Kailangan namin ay yung buo na choreograph.

"Is this ok? I mean we're not supposed to be sweet and touchy since the song is a break up song.." I mumbled without looking at them.

I know I am being childish, but I find our steps awkward.

"Carra, this is a dance interpretation, kahit na break up song ito or sad song hindi maiiwasan na maging touchy!" nakasimangot na sabi ng baklang instructor.

"I know, it's just that..." hindi ko maituloy ang gusto kong sabihin dahil hindi ko maexplain.

Ayoko lang talaga na masyado kaming magkalapit ni Cian, na masyadong touchy at intimate ang steps, feeling ko kasi nagtataksil ako kay Travis. I mean wala naman malisya ang sayaw namin pero...ah basta ayokong may ibang humahawak saakin, si Travis lang pwede!

"Don't tell me, naiilang ka saakin?" Cian suddenly ask that made me look at him.

My lips parted, but I can't find my voice.

"Come on Carra, don't be so unprofessional, we've been together before and nakapag make out na nga tayo remember? So dapat wala lang sayo ito." ngisi nya saakin. Litaw na litaw na naman ang dimples nya na tila ba nang aakit.

Erase..erase..erase..

"But that was different!"defensive kong sabi.

"What's the difference? Unless you still feel something for me kaya ka naiilang?" nanunukso nyang sabi.

Nanlaki ang mata kong napatingin sa nakakanganga na dance instructor halatang nagulat sa sinabi ni Cian.

"Cian!" I hissed.

Pero instead na sagutin ako ay hinila nya ako palapit sakanya, pinaikot nya ang braso nya saakin, habang ang isang kamay nya at hawak ang kamay ko.

"We're just going to dance Carra, so what's the fuss? Don't tell me affected ka parin saakin?" nakangisi parin nyanga tanong.

Sinubukasn ko syang itulak dahil masyado kaming magkadikit at nakakailang, lalo pa at may ibang tao, mamaya ichismis pa kami!

"Pwede ba Cian! This is not funny!" sabi ko habang tinutulak ko sya pero ayaw nya akong bitawan, hinigpitan pa nya lalo ang pagkakahapit sa saakin.

"Hershey, can you please give us a moment?" baling nya sa dance instructor namin.

Nanlaki ang mata kong napatingi sa dance instructor habang umiiling, nagpabalik balik ang tingin nya saamin dalawa na para bang di alam ang gagawin.

"No!" sabi ko.

"Mr. Collins.."

"I said leave us!" madiin na sabi ni Cian na ikinagulat naming dalawa ni Hershey. Nagmamadali nitong kinuha ang gamit at walang Sali-salitang iniwan kami.

"Ano bang problem?!" I screamed at him, napapikit naman sya dahil sobrang lapit naming sa isa't isa, malamang narinde ang eardrums nya.

"Gorg.." malabing nyang sabi, na naging dahilan kung bakit nagtayuan ang balahibo ko sa braso.

"Don't you dare call me by that name!" inis kong sabi. Memories from the past flashed in my mind when he called me Grog. "At pwede ba let go of me!"

"Never.." he said while looking at me in a way that made my heart beat fast. "I'll never let go of you again.." He whispered, and before I know he is already kissing me.
