4. The Bet
"What the hell, Lance?!" I sneered ad him when I saw he was drinking my scotch again. He's always like that, barging on my office then doing what he wants. I tried getting the bottle from him but he pulled it away from me.
"Dude, wag madamot." He said. I sighed and walked towards my swivel chair. Then suddenly, a chirp smile formed on my lips as I remember the girl in the FD. "Whats with that grin dude?"
"I met the new financial manager." I aforesaid.
"So I guess that's a hot chick?" He amusingly asked.
"So hot!" I chuckled but it was faded when I remembered that she's not into me.
"Eh whats with that face?" He asked, napansin niya siguro ang pagkabalisa ko. I am really bothered with the thought of her that I had no effect on her.
"I don't have effect on her." I admitted. Then Lance bursted out on laughter. "What the fuck, dude?"
He's still laughing. So I get my ipod and throw it on his face but he dodged it easily.
"That was a nice joke, dude." He said in between his laughters. "That only means dude, that not everyone in this world are capable in liking you." Dahil sa inis ko sa nasabi ng kaibigan ko, kinuha ko yung table clock at binato sa kanya. Pero nasalo niya pa din. He laughs again. "Wag pikon, dude."
Lance always like that, natutiwa siya kapag napipikon ako. Fuck asshole!
"Umalis ka na nga! Fuck you, dude!" I hissed.
He just grinned. "Lets have a game, then."
I looked at him confusingly on what he just said. Alam kong kalokohan na naman ang iniisip nito.
"Make her fall for you." He mentioned, his voice serious.
"No freaking way, asshole!" I snorted. "I bedded many woman, but I will never play with their feelings!"
Yeah, I maybe a douchebag but I am not as heartless as you think. My mom told me not play with their feelings and so I wasn't, kaya pinaglalaruan ko na lang ang katawan nila. Well atleast, not their feelings. There's a difference.
"Okay then, sabagay. Medyo gasgas na din kasi ang daing mo." He said wile grinning. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "Easy dude. Lets have a bet." He said again. "Masyado ng boring tong 10 months mo dito. Bakit hindi natin libangin ang sarili natin?" He smirked. I know him, nagbabalak na naman siya ng laro kung saan hindi ako makakatanggi.
"Okay. Lets make this way. If you make her fall, sayo na ang honey ko." Yung sinasabi niyang honey ay 'yung limited edition ng Lamborghini na binili pa niya sa Italy. Wala dito non sa Pilipinas. Nagliwanag ang mukha ko dahil gustong-gusto ko talaga ang kotseng iyon. "So I guess you like the idea. Deal with a bet?"
I think wala namang masama kung minsan lang paglaruan ang feelins ng babae diba? Infact, that girl challenges me. Ni hindi man lang siya nagpakita ang attraction sa akin. Isang malaking sapak iyon sa akin.
"Okay, deal." I gave in. "You have to make sure that I'll have honey if I won."
"Of course dude. But what if she didn't fall for you? Para my kapalit nman 'yung honey ko. Akin na lang Hummer mo."
I think again. Wala naman sigurong masama. I smirked. This will be more challenging. Ayokong ibigay si Lady --pangalan ng humer ko-- pero gusto ko ding kunin si Honey.
I made up my mind. "Okay deal, I will make her fall, dude. Kahit wala pang 1 month yan." I said while chuckling. I am confident with this.
I can sense the victory now. Maybe she was not drooling with the way i smile and chuckle. More effort, more chances in winning this bet.
