"I hope you know CPR because you take my breath away," sabi ng isang tinig sa likuran ni Christine.
Her head was pounding to the beat of the loud music playing in that Pribe' Bar and the last thing she needed was a guy trying to pick her up. She did not want to be at the Victory Party of the BMEG basketball team pero hindi nya natanggihan ang paanyaya ni Carlo Romero, ang head coach ng mga ito.
Kanina pa siya nakaupo sa isang stool sa harap ng bar. Bored na bored na siya at nabibilang na lang ang minuto para makaalis na sa lugar na iyon. She did not even try to mingle with anyone, dahil wala nman talaga siyang kakilala roon maliban kina Coach Carlo at Dr. Biggel... (HS lang lahat ng name hahaha)...
Bilib din naman siya sa apog ng lalaki na may lakas na loob na magsabi ng pinaka-corny na Pick-up line na narinig nya. wala siyang kilala na disenteng lalaki na makapagsasabi ng linyang iyon, unless the man was a total loser. Iyon ang ayaw niya sa mga ganitong klaseng lugar.
"Men Who Were Looking For An Easy Lay On Hay."
Nagpakawala siya ng isang buntong-hininga at saka bumaling dito. Nakaharap nya ang 2 time Most Valuable Player ng PBA na si Slater "The Breaker" Young. Muntikan na siyang malaglag sa kinauupuan nya. Her heart slammed into her ribs.
She could not believe her ears at hindi naman siguro siya nalasing ng Iced Tea na kanina nya pa iniinom. ipinikit niya ang kanyang mata at saka muli itong binuksan pero walang nagbago, in front of her was the hardcourt hearthrob who just uttered the lamest pick up lines she had ever heard.
She new him personally. ngunit ngayon lang ulit sila nagkita ni Slater makalipas ang mahigit sampung taon. tinignan nya ito ng tingin mula Ulo hanggang paa. one thing she immediately noticed ung dimples nya. She could not help but admire how Good-looking Slater had become. Of course, guwapo na ito kahit noon pa. pero iba ang dating nya nagyon MANLY!!! (raaaaawr)
Napapanood nya ito sa TV paminsan-minsan pero hindi niya inakala na ganito kalakas ang Sex appeal ni Slater kapag isang metro na lang ang layo nito sa kanya. His Boyish look then was gone but his killer dimples and smile, which could melt any woman's heart, wa still there. Ngumiti pa ito sa kanya. halatang nagpapa-Cute, It was a complete contrast to his Bad Boy persona in the hardcourt. Nang mabakante ung stool s atabi nya ay naupo ito. She looked at him, waiting for somesign of recognition from him. But, ZILCH!!!
She could not believe na hindi siya nito nakilala. Siguro akala ni Slater na isa siya sa mga naging GF nya na nagkakandarapa at sa isang salita ay makukuha nya na ang gusto!
Biglang nagsalita si Slater.. Parang paubos ba ang iniinom mo. Would you like me to buy you a drink?" sabi nito.
Nanatili siyang nakatingin dito. Wala ka paring ipinagbago, Slater. You're still as dense as ever! So Instead of Intruducing herself, she stood up and said " I'm Sorry but I don't Talk to Strangers." Then she turned her back on Him and left.
Grabe!!! Ano Meron kaya sa Kanilang dalawa baket ganito ang Start ng Story nila...... ABANGAN!
