Art of being a Player...

Worried

 “Callix, dito nalang.” Sabi ko.

Hinatid ako ni Callix sa bahay, isa sya sa mga classmate ni Cian na nag volunteer na maghatid saakin noong isang araw. Dahil sa malayo ang gate namin sa sa front door ng mansyon, pinapasok ko sya sa loob dahil ayokong maglakad ng malayo. 

“Thanks for bringing me home.” I said then I gave him my sweetest smile.

“No problem! It’s actually an honor to bring home the hottest girl in campus…I’m sure marami ang naiingit saakin ngayon.” He said in a flirt way.

I rolled my eyes and unbuckle my seatbelt.

Boys will always be boys!

“Bye!” sabi ko then bumaba na ako ng car nya.

“Hindi mo man lang ba ako iimbitahin mag coffee or juice man lang?”

“Nope! You’re not my boyfriend so you’re not allowed to go inside my house!” I said then I winked at him.

He chuckled.

“Hmnnn..boyfriend’s privilege..Cian’s one lucky bastard!”

It’s my turn to laugh. Siguro kung andito ngayon si Cian hindi nya kayang sabihin iyon. Takot lang nya!

“I’ll go inside, ingat pauwi.

“Bye! I hope next time mapagbigyan mo ang lunch date na inaalok ko.”

“I’ll try.” I said.

Bumusina sya bago umalis. Pag pasok ko ng mansyon dumiretso kaagad ako sa grandstaircase namin, hindi ko man lang napansin na may tao pala sa may living room.

“Finally, you’re home.” He said.

I almost jumped because of surprise. Automatic akong napatingin sa ‘bisita’ ko.

“Cian?”Nanlalaki ang mata kong sabi.

“Good thing you still know me girlfriend.” Sarcastic nyang sabi.

“What are you  doing here?” tanong ko habang naglalakad papuntang living room kung saan prenteng nakaupo si Cian na akala mo ay hari at sobrang komportable..in short “feeling at home” sya masyado.

“Checking if my girlfriend is already at home, but it seemed like she went out somewhere with the guy who’s supposed to bring her home.”

“He asked me out…I mean we just had our dinner before bringing me home..what’s wrong with that?”

“You told me that he’s just going to drive you home, you never said that you’re going to have a dinner with him.”

"Sorry, changed of plans..” I said then I smirked at him.

“Did you just smirked at me?”

“I guess..got any problem with that?” nang aasar kong sabi.

“Tss..” he said then he looked away.

Silence…

“Next time if it’s not too much for you, please be nice enough to tell me your whereabouts, so I won’t be worried.” He said in a serious tone.

“Why are you worried?” nagtatakang tanong ko.

“Because…”

“Because?”

“Gorg! I’m your boyfriend normal lang na mag alala ako!”

Napaupo ako sa couch sa harap nya.

“But our relationship is not normal.” Paalala ko sakanya.

Napahilamos sya ng mukha.

“Carra will you please stop bragging about are relationship as not normal.”

“But that’s true…”I whispered.

Bigla syang tumayo,he really looks mad.

“Walang patutunguhan ang pag uusap natin na ito. I’ll just go ahead.” Malamig nyang sabi at luymabas ng mansion.

Ok he’s really mad, and it’s my fault, pag ganitong palagi ko syang ginagalit he will never like me, meaning hindi sya maiinlove saakin at mababalewala ang sacrifices ko, baka magfail pa ako sa mission ko. I should be nice and sweet to him like a real girlfriend.

Bigla akong tumayo at hinabol ko sya sa labas, he was about to enter in his car when I called him, he stopped. Lumapit ako sakanya at tumigil sa harap nya, lumingon naman sya saakin pero I can’t read his expression.

“I’m sorry…” I whispered. Then I look at his eyes, he is looking back at me. “Ok I promise hindi ko na ulit babanggitin ang tungkol sa pagiging fake ng relationship natin.” I tried to joke pero hindi parin sya ngumingiti.

Sinundot sundot ko yung cheeks nya.

“Sorry na…” I said with matching puppy eyes and pouting lips.

I’m such a good actress! Haha

“Please?” I said while poking his cheeks, I can see that he’s trying to suppress his smile.

Aba’t talagang nag iinarte pa ha, masyadong pakipot, sya palang ang nasusuyo kong lalaki at mukhang itetake for granted pa nya ako huh!

“Bahala ka nga dyan!” I said with matching walk out, pero bago pa ako makalayo ay nahawakan na nya ang kamay ko.

“Ang bilis mo naman sumuko!” he said with a boyish smile.

“Tss..arte mo kasi, pakipot pa!” I said then I pout.

“Stop that!”

“What?”

“Stop pouting!”

“Why?”natataka kong tanong.

“It makes me want to kiss you, especially now that I know na wala pang nakakahalik sayo so I want to be the—”

“Shut up!” I said then I run away from him. Narinig ko nalang ang tawa nya as I enter inside our house.

Before I make it inside my room, my phone suddenly rings.

PLAYBOY CALLING..

“What?” kunwaring naiinis kong tanong.

Tumatawa pa kasi sya eh.

“You just left, without saying goodbye..”he teased.

“So?”mataray kong sabi then pumasok ako ng kwarto ko, dumiretso ako sa balcony para silipin kung hindi pa sya umaalis. Sakto namang dating ko sa balcony ng bigla syang lumingon, he is still smiling.

“Why are you up there when your boyfriend is still here at the garage?”

“Whatever Cian, just go home ok.”

He laugh.

“Ok, mainit na ulo ng Gorge ko, goodnight girlfriend…I’ll be dreaming of your lips tonight, dream of my lips too ok?! One day we won’t need to dream about it, because I’m planning to….” Bitin nyang sabi then he laugh again ang hang up.

Nag flying kiss sya at nag wave, then he enter inside his car at bumusina bago umalis.

“Ahhh!!!” naiinis kong sigaw sabay pasok sa kwarto at haggis sa cellphone sa kama.
