Gray's PoV
Hindi ko alam kung anong ginawa kong mali para mapunta sa sitwasyon na ito. I am not comfortable being with this girl alone.
She crossed her legs exposing her sexiness. There's something in her gazes as well. I know exactly what she's trying to do.
"You know miss, many girls attempted to make me fall in love through seduction and FORTUNATELY, no one succeeded."
"Pft. Hahaha!" To my surprise, tinawanan niya lang ako.
"You know, the first time I saw you, I thought you're a man that's why you caught my attention. You're so cool while you're in front. Ang alam ko nga, lalake lang ang may kayang gawin yung ginagawa mo. I know I am straight but I got confused when I found out that you're a girl too. Gosh. Something's wrong with me right?" Parang nagpantig naman ang tainga ko sa sinabi niya.
"You know, I hate the thought of discrimination and by synthesizing what you have just said, I realized something. I.HATE.YOU.MORE. Hindi dahil babae ako e hindi ko na kayang gawin ang mga ginagawa ng mga lalake. At hindi dahil hindi ako lalake e hindi ako mapapansin ng kapwa ko babae." Inis na litanya ko kay Hanz.
"Woaw. Cool down tiger. That's not what I mean." Tumayo siya at lumuhod sa harap ko.
"I mean, you are giving me more options. I'm sorry if you are thinking that I am being judgemental ok?" She said while tracing my belt as if attempting to unbuckle it.
"What options?" Tanong ko sa kanya habang naka cross arms ako.
"I know I am confused right now but I know as well that one of these days e maliliwanagan ako."
"Cut the chase Hanz." Walang ganang sagot ko sa kanya.
"You are giving me limitless options. Instead of liking guys only, you made me realize that I can be attracted to ladies as well. And to tell you the truth, the feeling is good. Trust me." Hindi agad ako nakasagot sa sinabi niya.
I feel something again for the second time when she mentioned the word 'Trust'.
PAIN.
"This is not the first time that I heard that from a lady. I trusted someone before pero sakit lang sa puso ang nakuha ko." Naalala ko nanaman siya kaya tumingin ako sa ibang direksyon.
"I may remind you of someone from your past but let me tell you this. I assure you that we are completely different. I am not her and I will never be her. We can be together Gray."
Tumawa ako ng mapait bago magsalita. "How can you say that? Kakakilala mo palang sa akin. Don't you think it's too fast for you to say those words?"
Tumayo siya sa harap ko at tinukod niya ang isang kamay niya sa tabi ng balikat ko tapos hinawakan niya ang kabilang pisngi ko. "Because when I feel something unfamiliar for you, I am not threatened. It feels like my subconscious mind is telling me to completely trust you and you should trust me too because I mean every words I said."
Nang tignan ko siya, ilang pulgada nalang pala ang pagitan ng mga mukha namin. Dahan-dahan niyang inalis ang pagkakahawak niya sa pisngi ko at itataas na sana niya ang suot kong damit pero pinigilan ko siya.
"Enough with your flirtatious redemption lady."

Hanz's PoV
As expected. Taming Gray Star Arevalo is not easy. She's hard to get but it doesn't matter. Being pessimistic is not the right thing to do right now.
"Alam mo Gray, nahihirapan na ako sayo. You're playing hard to get." Tumayo na ako tapos umupo nalang sa tapat niya.
"As far as I know, I didn't even tell you to get close to me or ask you to be my love." She's so cold! Yung tipong titigas ka sa kinatatayuan mo dahil sa mga tingin niya.
"Bakit ba ang sungit mo sa akin?" Frustrated na tanong ko. "I just want to befriend my friend's sister!"
"So why do I have this feeling that you are acting completely different from what you are saying?" Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay at tumingin nanaman sa ibang direksyon.
Ang sungit talaga!
"Because sometimes, it is better to trust someone's words than her action. I can easily act like you are nothing to me but I can tell you right now, right in this place that I like you. So anong paniniwalaan mo?"
Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling ang mga salitang iyon pero napangiti ako sa loob ko dahil nakuha ko ang atensyon niya.
Despite of her coldness, she can't hide that she's in pain right now and it feels like I want to ease that burden of hers.
Lumapit ako sa kanya at umupo sa tabi niya. Hinawakan ko yung right cheek niya bago ako magsalita. "Let me ease the pain Gray. Give yourself a chance to trust or to love again."
"Love is defeat. I can't lose to my own self." Hindi ko pinansin ang sinabi niya at inilapit ko ang mukha ko sa kanya.
Ilang pulgada nalang ang pagitan namin sa isa't-isa. Luckily, she's not resisting. Without breaking the eye contact, inilapit ko pa ang mukha ko sa kanya to close the gap between us.
"Guys, stop eye-fucking each other. Go get a room." Napapitlag ako pagkarinig ko sa taong nagsalita.
"Watch your words Blue." Saway ni Gray kay Sky.
"Okay.okay. sorry man. Just don't call me 'Blue' ok?"
"Bakit ba kasi bumalik ka na dito?!" Inis na tanong ko sa kanya.
"I and the gorgeous lady right here are tired of dancing kaya bumalik na kami. I'm sorry if we disturb you from what you are doing ok?" Pang aasar niya at prenteng umupo na lamang.
"Remind me to kick your ass by the time we leave this place."
Natawa naman si Sky sa sinabi ko bago niya ipagpatuloy ang pagsasalita. "Nabitin ka ba?"
Bago pa ako makalapit sa kanya, narinig ko na nagsalita si Gray.
"Tsk. Not this time Jessie." Paglingon ko, nakita ko si Jessie na may hawak na transparent jar.
"Come on Gray. It's just for fun. Huwag kang kill joy." Gray just rolled her eyes tapos lalabas na sana pero pinigilan ni Amielle.
"Babe, just stay. For me. Please?" Umupo nalang ulit si Gray at hindi na umalis dahil sa sinabi ni Amielle.
Mabuti pa itong babaeng to napapasunod niya si Gray. Bakit kaya?
"Thanks girl." Pagpapasalamat ni Jessie kay Amielle.
"So, as you can see, this is a jar that contain papers. May mga nakasulat na dare sa bawat papel na andito. You have a choice to do the dare or not. But if you choose to not do the dare, you will stay until the bar closes and clean the mess. And to make sure that you are going to stay, I am going to lock you in a room." Nakangising sabi ni Jessie.
"Ready?"
Oh sheez. This will be fun.
