Taming Mr. Player (Completed)

"One more round." I got out from my car and sat on the chair and drank my water.

"Hoy Donna! Baka gusto mo magpahinga?!?!" Johnny shouted.

"Ano bang ginagawa ko? Hindi ba nagpapahinga ako." Nagshrug ako tapos tinignan ko yung phone ko. May dalawang messages.

"Hindi ka nagpapahinga. Inaantay mo lang yung sasakyan."

"Donna, take it easy. Sa isa't kalahating linggo natin dito, araw-araw nakaka-hundred rounds ka. Kalma lang." Allan said while he's looking at his phone.

"Sorry, can't help it eh. It feels so great." I shrugged and opened the first message. It's from Faye.

From: Faye Pamposa
Hey best friend! Kamusta? Ang boring dito. I'll be there on Thursday night until Sunday morning. I miss you, best friend.

'Wow. Himala at nagtext si Faye.' The thought I had in mind. She doesn't text me naman kasi not unless, may kasalanan sya or sobrang importante. So I replied immediately to her text since I thought it's that important.

To: Faye Pamposa

What's up? May problem ka ba? Or baka naman may kasalanan ka. Lol. Sure. I'll save the day. See you!

I opened the second message and I smiled upon seeing the sender of the message.

From: Babe

Hey babe! I miss you and I love you. Mag-iingat ka dyan, okay?

Kahit na yun lang yung text nya, napangiti pa din ako. Ewan ko. I've been like this lately. Kahit simpleng 'hi' o 'hello' lang galing sa kanya, napapangiti na ko. Kahit nga siguro blank message yung isend nya, ganito pa din magiging reaksyon ko. Baliw na ata talaga ako.

To: Babe

Nag-iingat ako dito. Ikaw? Behave ka ba dyan? I miss and love you too. Forever and always.

"Nginingiti-ngiti mo dyan?" Biglang tanong ni Johnny. Kaya bigla akong napatingin sa bintana ng sasakyan sa harap ko para tingnan yung sarili ko, only to see that I'm wearing a really wide smile.

"Wala yan, pre. Baka nagtext si babe." Sagot ni Allan tapos may maarteng tono pa yung salitang 'babe'.

"H-ha? H-hindi ah. Hoy, Allan! Bilisan mo na ngang palitan yung gulong ni Silvia."

"Eto tapos na. Mag-ingat ka ah! Last na 'to para ngayong araw." Tapos naglakad sya papunta dun sa table na may mga pagkain at kumain sya.

"Eh. Naman eh! Ang aga pa oh! It's only 3pm! Matatapos ako sa round na 'to before 3:30pm. Anong gagawin ko? Nganga? Ang---"

"Magpractice ka na lang. Tama na ang reklamo." Biglang sagot ni Jon in a serious tone. Seriously, what's wrong with him? He's been acting weird lately. Hmm.

"Oo na, oo na. Hmp." Tapos sumakay na ko sa sasakyan ko at sinimulan ko nang paandarin yun.
