Art of being a Player...

The proposal

"Cian."

 I am surprised to see Cian, I just stood there for a minute and watch him as he glared at Travis. And I can’t read his expression since he’s still wearing his poker face.

“Cian..” Basag ko sa katahimikan. He is still holding my hand that he took from Travis. He turned to look at me.

“Let’s talk.” He said seriously, at bigla akong napatingin kay Travis, he is looking at me.

“B-but..I’m with Travis.” I said, I don’t know why I feel nervous. Iba kasi ang aura ni Cian ngayon and it’s scaring the hell out of me.

“We really need to talk.” Seryoso parin nyang sabi.

“Cian, wag mo pilitin si Carra, we are--------”

“Shut up Travis!” putol ni Cian sa sinasabi ni Travis.

“Duse, baka nakakalimutan mo, ako ang kasama ni Carra! You cannot force her to go with you, especially not infront of her date! Konting respeto naman.” Annoyance is obvious in his tone.

Then nag titigan lang sila. I can feel the tension between them, sa totoo lang hindi ako mapipilit ni Cian na sumama sakanya or makipag usap sakanya kung ayaw ko, pero I want to know what he’s up to at biglang out of the blue ay nagpakita ito para sirain ang date ko. Thismust better be important.

“Travis..I’m sorry, I’ll just call you..ok?” nakangiti kong sabi.  Asking him to understand me.

“Sure.” He said, while looking hurt but still he managed to give me a warm smile like he’s assuring me that he understands the situation.

I just nod at Travis and bid my goodbye as I grabbed my things.

“Let’s go.” Sabi ko kay Cian as I pulled my hand back and started to walk.

I texted Eunice to tell her na I need to attend some urgent matter, kanina kasi kasama namin sila ni James sa Coffee House pero biglang may natanggap na text si James kaya kinailangan nitong umalis at dahil sa ayaw ni Eunice ma-op saamin sumama na sya kay James pero sabi nila babalikan nila kami at mag ha-hang out. But unfortunately di na matutuloy ang plano since biglang dumating itong si Cian.

Nauna na akong sumakay akong lumakad papauntang sasakyan ni Cian, His silver Audi is a head turner.. actually crush ko yung sasakyan nya, I want to have that kind of car kaso ayaw akong ibili ni Dad kasi kaskasera daw ako, sayang lang daw saakin pag binilhan nila ako, then I told them na I’ll buy using my own money, kaso pinigilan ako ni Gramps, sya na daw bahala..kaya ayun until now I’m still waiting for my own Audi to arrive. Nang nasa harap na ako ng pinto ng car nya, nagulat ako kasi pinagbuksan nya ako ng door, may pagka gentleman pala ang playboy!

“We ride in silence, no one dared to speak, we are both busy with our own thoughts, hangang itinigil nya yung kotse sa gilid.

Napatingin ako sakanya, while he on the otherhand is looking outside, para bang malalim ang iniisip.

“What now Cian?” bagot kong tanong habang nakasandal ang ulo ko sa window ng car nya.

He sighed. He really looks bothered.

Then he sighed again.

“Seriously Cian? Wala ka bang gagawin kundi bumuntong hininga? You disturbed my date just to make me watch you sigh?” nakasimangot kong sabi.

That’s when he looked at me.

“Carra…” he said seriously.

Like yeah, he is serious, how did I know? Because he called me Carra instead of Gorg na nakasanayan nan yang itawag saakin.

“I have a proposal.” He said while looking nervous and hesitant.

“Tell me about it, and make sure it’s worth my time.” nakataas ang kilay kong sabi.

“Be my girlfriend.” He said in a dead serious voice.
