Art of being a Player...

I am not Nate

“Nate…I’m starving…”I said then nag pout ako. Like what I’ve said before kay Nathan ako pinaka spoiled konting lambing ko lang sakanya and he will definitely give what I want.

 “Princess ilang beses ko na bang sinabi sayo na wag kang magpapakagutom, if you are hungry then grab your phone and text me, kahit ano pang ginagawa ko iiwan ko wag ka lang magutom.

I giggled.

“Sweet” I said.

“So what do want to eat?”

“Same as before nalang, alam mo naman ang favorite food ko.”

“Amethyst mas alam ko ang favorite food mo, kaya ako nalang ang kukuha” sabi naman ni Shawn.

“Both of you shut up!” nakakunot ang noon a sabi ni Cian then tumingin sya saakin.

“Why are you asking them to get your food, they are just your friend, and I’m your boyfriend, I should be the one that you're asking!”

“Kahapon when I asked you to order my food you look annoyed, kaya naisip ko na mas ok kung sila nalang, since noong bata pa kami sila na gumagawa noon.”

“Yup, she’s our Princess kaya spoiled sya saamin, we’re just her slaves” natatawang sabi ni Nate.

“That’s not true, I never treated you guys like some kind of slaves…although you acted like one.” Natatawa ko ring sabi.

“Nate bro, we’re not her slaves, we’re her servants..”sabi naman ni James.

“Do you guys really feel that way?” nakakunot noo na sabi ko.

“Nope, pinagtitripan ka lang nang dalawang yan, you know you’re like our sister right? That’s why we are treating you this way..you’re the sister that we never had..” nakangiting sabi ni Luke.

“You’re really care for me Luke, that’s why I love you!” I said.

“What, you love him?” nanlalaking matang mata ni Cian.

“Brotherly love, moron!” I said.

“And you called me moron?”

“Yes I did!”

He inhaled.

“Carra..”He said with a serious voice, “ don’t ever call me moron…”

I sighed. Ok maybe I was wrong..i shouldn’t have called him moron, he is a guy after all..he is Cian Collins, the mighty one.

“Ok I’m sorry” I said sincerely.

He did not react, instead he just look away, napatingin ako kina Luke, their faces showed that what I said really hurted Cian’s ego.

“Hey, sorry na nga eh..” I told Cian as I held his face to turn it to me. Nagkatinginan lang kami, hindi parin sya nagsasalita..galit parin.

“Sorry na..”I said then nag puppy eyes ako.

“Fine.” He said expressionless.

“Bakit parang napilitan ka lang?”

“Tss”

“Bati na tayo, pwede?”

“In one condition?!”

“What?”nakakunot noo kong sabi.

Arte ha, may condition pang nalalaman.

“From now on, if you need anything call me first before anyone else, No I changed my mind…call me, only me..and not them, understood?!” he said as he pointed to his friends’ direction.

Hmmp, yun lang pala.

“What if you’re busy, what if you’re in the middle of something, or you’re with your girls..Are you willing to leave them just because I need you?” nakataas ang kilay kong tanong.

Natahimik sya at mukhang nag isip, confusion is written all over his face.

“Just what I thought so, you are not Nate who can leave everything behind because I need him. Don’t worriy I don’t expect too much from you, Especially because we both know that this relationship is just a game.” Mahina kong sabi.

Napatingin ako kina Eunice, halata sa mukha nila na nagpipigil silang tumawa. Alam kasi nilang umaarte lang ako.

“Stop it Carra! Yes I am not Nate because I am Cian, your boyfriend! If Nate can do that for you then as your boyfriend I am more than willing to do it! And please stop bragging about this relationship as a game.” Seryoso nyang sabi sabay tayo. “I’ll just get you something to eat.” He said.

“Seriously! I can’t believe it Sissy! Mukhang hawak mo na sa leeg si Cian!” natatawang sabi ni Eunice.

I just flipped my her and winked at her that made them laugh.

“Finally! Mukhang nakahanap na rin si Cian ng katapat!” James said.

“I’ve never seen him like that before…he might be really falling for you Carra.” Sabi naman ni Luke.

“Good job Princess!” proud na sabi ni Nate.

“Can’t believe, you just called Cian, a Moron!” Natatawang sabi ni Shawn.

“I think naapakan ko lang ang ego nya ng i-compare ko sya kay Nate.” Balewala kong sabi. Then umayos na ako ng upo ng makita kong pabalik na si Cian.

“Here..”Sabi ni Cian sabay abot saakin ng Banoffee pie.

“Thanks.” I said habang nagpipigil tumawa. Umupo naman sya kaagad sa tabi ko at tahimik na kumain.

Pinagmasdan ko lang ang food na binigay nya.

“Why don’t you like it? Want me to get you something else?” tanong nya habang magkasalubong ang kilay.

“No I’m fine, I’m just wondering..how did you know that I like Banofee pie…” wala sa loob kong tanong.

“I have my ways sweetheart, Now you better eat, I don’t want you starving..”he said with a warm smile.

What the...bakit parang good mood na sya?

His mood shifted easily...Bipolar ba sya?

At bago pa naya mapansin na pinagmamasdan ko sya, I started eating my Banoffee as my mind begins to think about my next plan...
