In Love With The Game (COMPLETED)

Chapter 17

#ILWTG17 Chapter 17

It was our first official day-ish, but we're both so spent from the whole finals debacle that we both didn't want to go out. Kaya naman naka-upo ako sa couch habang naka-higa si Yago sa lap ko. Sinusulit niya talaga iyong nangyaring aminan kagabi! Namamanhid na iyong binti ko pero ayaw pa rin niyang umalis!

"Tinatamad akong magluto. Order na lang tayo," I said.

"Okay."

"What do you want?"

"Chinese food?"

I groaned. "Yes. I'm craving for xiao long bao din," I said and then immediately searched for a resto that delivers here. Sobrang dami kong gustong kainin! Now that it's finally vacation, mapupuntahan ko na lahat! I also wanted to go around the museums here in Manila, but I didn't really have time because of school.

Biglang napaupo si Yago. His head's a bit messy, but I'd be lying if I say that he didn't look good. I was still yet to find an angle na pangit ang lalaki na 'to.

"Let's just go to China Town," he said.

"Are you sure? 'Di ba pagod ka pa?"

"It's okay," he said, standing up. "I'll just take a quick shower. You do your makeup thing. We'll leave when you're done."

Napa-tigil ako nang maramdaman ko iyong labi ni Yago sa noo ko. He was serious pala nung sinabi niya na okay na siya sa holding hands... but he's always kissing my forehead kahit aalis lang siya para kumuha ng tubig. I was worried for my lips once na payagan ko siyang halikan ako! I had a feeling that Yago will abuse my lips!

I took a quick bath and exerted extra effort in putting makeup! Hiyang-hiya naman kasi ako kay Ysmael Agosto na ako e gwapong-gwapo sa kanya pero siya, ang tingin sa akin ay sakto lang. Nakaka-irita din talaga 'yung tao na 'yun minsan!

I was perfecting my Korean makeup look when I heard the door. Ngayon na may something na kami, mas lalong hindi na kakatok si gago. Might as well sirain niya na iyong pader dahil nandito din naman siya palagi.

After half an hour, I went out, looking and feeling good. I was wearing a yellow sundress and white strappy sandals. Hindi agad ako nakita ni Yago dahil nasa harap na naman siya ng TV at nanonood ng cartoons.

I cleared my throat. He turned around. He smiled.

"Aurora Marie... bringing her A-game," he said as he stared at me. Bigla akong nakaramdam ng consciousness kasi tinignan niya talaga ako from head to toe. Dati naman, hindi ganito ka-obvious siya! Ngayon, wala na talagang hiya-hiya!

I rolled my eyes. "Tara na."

I was about to walk, but I halted when Yago offered me his hand. Tinaas ko ang kilay ko.

"You said we could hold hands."

"You're making this awkward."

Instead of replying, he grabbed my hand and held it. He was grinning like an idiot. He raised our hands and showed it to me.

"It's just awkward for you now, but I promise you'll get used to this," he said. Inirapan ko siya, but the asshole just planted a kiss on my knuckles. Ugh! Sumu-sobra na siya!

Yago was grinning like a fool while we waited for the elevator. Napa-tingin ako sa reflection naming dalawa. Damn, we look good together. Feeling ko naman maganda ako. Gago lang talaga si Yago.

"Rory," he said.

"Hmm?"

"What if..." he trailed. "What if we destroyed the wall? Make our units just one big unit?"
