My Illustrious Lover

XI

Paris' POV

Pagpasok na pagpasok ko sa bahay ay sinalubong ako agad ni Audrey. She gave me my car keys and we ate dinner. After that, she bid goodbye.

I took a bath and did what needs to be done before I throw myself to bed. I checked the time and saw it's already 11:08 pm. I texted Harper and not long after she replied.

"It's 11:11 you're supposed to wish for something and I wish for you" isn't she sweet?

"Love, you already have me" I replied with a smile on my lips.

"Then I wish to have you forever and ever until the end of time"

"I'm going to need to check my schedule but I think I might fit you in" I teased.

"Oh I see. I've got some competition on that forever, huh?"

"You see, forever is unrealistic, but can I give you the rest of my life?"

"That's the cheesiest thing you've ever said, love. I'll screenshot"

"Whatever. Let's sleep? I'm sleepy" I replied while rubbing my left eye.

"Alright. Goodnight, love." And with that I fell asleep.

"Okay girls, listen! Since today is Friday and three days from now is your first game against our rival school which is Stanford University, we will be having a training tomorrow morning and you can rest after until Sunday so you'll be in condition to play on Monday. Understood?!" Paalala sa amin ni coach pagkatapos namin mag training.

"Yes coach!"

"Alright. You're dismissed" at nagpaalam na si coach.

"Bye girls. Walang male-late bukas ha?" Paalala ko sa team mates ko.

"Yes Capt!" Sabay-sabay nilang sabi.

"Good. I'll see you all tomorrow" I said at sabay kaming naglakad ni Audrey para mag shower.

Papunta kami ng first subject namin ng makasalubong namin sina Harper at Isabelle.

"Hey love. Hey Drey. Kamusta ang training niyo?" Nakangiting tanong sakin ni Harper sabay hawak sa bewang ko.

"Okay naman love. Ang intense!" Natatawa kong sagot sa kanya habang napasimangot naman si Audrey. "Eh kayo? Kamusta ang practice?"

"Ayos naman love. We're done with the choreography so fina'finalize nalang namin kung ano pa ang kailangang ayusin" she replied nonchalantly. With that, we headed to our class.

Time goes fast nang walang masyadong nangyari aside sa date namin ni Harper nung Saturday. And now, Monday na naman ngayon. Which means simula na ng U-Games at mamaya ay first game na namin against Stanford University.

We're currently here at the gym at ang HWU ang host ngayong taon. Nakasuot ang lahat ng kanikanilang University jacket and pants. Katatapos lang ng opening program at official nang nagsimula ang U-Games. Nakatipon ngayon ang walong Universities dito sa loob at mamaya ay kanya kanya nang simula ang iba't ibang sports, kasama na kami doon. Mamayang 1pm ang laro namin at ngayon pa lang kinakabahan na ang teammates ko at pati ako pero mas nananaig pa rin ang nararamdaman kong excitement. Sila ang rival school namin at sila ang defending champion kaya meron rin akong nararamdamang pressure.

"Best! Kinakabahan na ako para mamaya. Eliminations pa lang pero grabe na ang pressure" sabi ni Audrey sabay tingin sa mga taga SU.

"Best, wag kang masyadong kabahan baka maihi ka sa shorts mo" kaya ayon na naman ang batok-ala-Audrey. Pinapagaan ko lang naman ang loob niya. Bago pa ako makapagsalita ulit ay nagsalita si coach.
