[Chapter:9] (Night Coleman)

Code

Napabaling ang tingin ko sa unahan ng makitang padating na si Val. Kumunot ang noo ko ng may lalaking nakasunod dito, at nag tatawanan pa ang dalawa habang palapit sa table na pinag pwestuhan ko.

Nang malapit na sila ay binalik ko ang paningin sa librong binabasa ko.

I heard their footsteps halting in front of me. I was taken aback when Val took my book and closed it.

She smiled at me, but I only looked at the book she took from me. I can see that she rolled her eyes then placed the book at the table in front of me.

I put my palms in the book then blankly looked at her then to the man she's with.

"Night, I'd like you to meet my friend. Code Harrison." She introduced me to him. The man named 'Night' held he's hand in front of me.

I stared at it for a second then back to Valeriana. She then eyed me. "Code, this is Night Coleman from class b." She introduced.

Tumikhim naman ito at medyo ginalaw ang palad niyang nasa harapan ko parin. I formally shaked hands with him for a second.

Coleman smiled. "It's nice to meet the detective behind the recent poison case in the campus." He said.

I nodded in response then eyed Val. "What is he doing here?" I asked.

She licked her dry lips first before answering my question. "Remember the book that we needed for our assignment in chemistry?" She asked, I nodded in response.

"Well, this guy right here got the last copy of it and we decided to share it. To save up our time." She added.

I only nodded in response. After a minute they are already starting to answer.

I could see that she's actually happy to talked with this guy. Me being me that hated PDA and third wheel or anything that concern love. I stood up and get my bag at my hand the book I'm reading, then left the lovebirds.

The librarian greeted me, but I didn't even give a glance to her, then left the library. I could go to the garden, but last time I was in there I saw a couple eating each other face and touching each other's body.

Napapikit naman ako ng mariin ng maalala ang pangyayaring yun. I can even hear their moans again and it's giving me goosebumps. Jesus.

Napailing nalang ako para mawala sa isipan ko ang nakakadiring nasaksihan at kinuha ang cellphone ko.

I dialed someone, I never expect to call again for the meantime.

After three rings the person on the other line, answered the phone.

"Jeremy Stanford, speaking. Who's this?"

I didn't spoke for a minute. Let's see what he's reaction will be.

"Hello? If this is a wrong number, fuck you for wasting my time." Inis na sambit nito.

Bago pako nito patayan ay nag salita nako. "Hey, Stanford."

There was a long silence after I spoke. I grin and started to walk my way to the gate of the school.

"Hey, Stanford you there?" I asked when he didn't even tried to spoke again.

"Holy hell! It's really you! I thought I was hallucinating that I heard your voice." He exclaimed.

My grin grew wider. "Sorry, Stanford but, I don't do relationships with the same gender as me."

"Fuck off, Harrison. What's with the phone call anyway? And why did you changed your number?" Tanong nito.

"First question, can you bring me my baby? And for the second question, I think you know the reason."

"You're not still done?" He asked.

Sumeryoso naman ang mukha ko. "You know that I cannot live my life happily when it's still bothering me."

Narinig ko naman ang pag buntong hininga niya sa kabilang linya. "I know and why do you want your baby now?" He asked changing the topic.

I paused for a moment when I reached the gate of our school. I looked at the guard and he only nodded and gestured me to continue.

When I was outside, I placed my phone back. "I miss racing, Stanford."

He chuckled. "Oh. I see, just like the old days? But don't you have classes?" He asked.

"We're half day today, the faculties are on the meeting for the incoming club fair."

"Okay, state the place, Harrison."

I paused for a moment then answered he's question. "The second mini stop near my apartment."

"Noted, and one more thing, Harrison."

"What?"

"Does your -girl bestfriend- knew about your real identity?" He emphasized the word 'girl bestfriend.'

"No. I cannot trust anyone with my identity, you know that Stanford." I said seriously. Yes we've been living together for more than a year. But I still don't trust her to the point I will tell the real status of my life.

"Alright then, but may I remind you Harrison you still have to tell that girl who really are you." He advised.

"I can handle myself, Stanford and stop meddling with my business!" I said, their always spying on me secretly.

He chuckled not minding what I just said. "Easy, bro. We know you can handle yourself but sometimes—I mean all the times your being too much reckless for your own good."

"Yeah, yeah, and oh, hurry up Stanford we're going right now." I said then before he could utter a word again I hang up.

Napailing na lamang ako. I have trust issues but they are an exception. I already saw in my own eyes that their are not a bad person, they're always there for me when I get in sticky situation.

I halted in front of the mini stop and looked around. I grin when I spotted a black Ducati 1299, next to it is a blue Ford ranger.

I made my way to the driver seat of the card and knocked. I took a step back when the door opened.

There I saw Jeremy Stanford with a sunglasses with he's ragged look.

"My man! Your alive and kicking." Pangbungad nito sa'kin.

I rolled my eyes and held my palms open in front of him. I stared at him blankly.

"Give me the keys, Stanford."

He chuckled then took out the keys for my motor bike. He dangled it in front of me then tossed it to me.

I easily catch in with my hands and glared at the helmet he's holding. He then tossed the helmet to me.

Tinalikuran ko na naman siya at nilapitan ang motor ko. I started the engine and it still sound good. Halatang hindi ito pinapabayaan, he know what can I do to him when he didn't take care of my baby while I was away.

I was about to drove off when Stanford spoke.

"Wala man lang thank you?" Sarkastiko niyang tanong.

"Thank you." I sarcastically said. Not facing him then drove off. A small smile formed on my lips, I really miss racing as much as I miss my baby.
