The game is simple.
Place your bet, take two cards, if both sums up to any number closer to Nine or Nine itself, then you win.
It's easy...
Luck would often come into play, and I'm quite lucky.
So, how?
How did I lose?
Napatingin ako sa mga braha ko. Staring at my cards before dropping them. Fold.
"Lucky Nine." Napatitig ako sa braha niya, dropping a 7 and 2, he smirked at me before raising his hands and cheering as he lay down my bed with his arms stretched. "Fucking finally!"
Nakatitig parin ako sa mga braha ko while he shuffled around the covers and eyed me with a playful grin. "The undefeated is now defeated."
Rinig ko ang kutsa nito as I glare at his card. I was so close to claiming his gold rolex watch! He gave everything he had at stake, betting every tangible material he had! From his branded hoodies to his luxury watch.
I was so close to milking him out of his wealth! So how!? How did I lose!? Why did I throw the match!?
"Aww is my baby mad?"
"I'm not your baby."
"So, galit ka nga." His tone was teasing, enjoying the reaction of my first ever defeat.
"Pano ka nanalo, wala na dapat 7 sa deck!" He hummed, placing his chin on his hand, fingers tapping his cheek.
"Seems like you miscounted." I trust my memory more than anything, more than him! Kaya there's only one valid reason why I lost.
"You cheated, noh?" He faked a heart ache. Placing a hand on his chest as he grinned.
"Boo baby, I have my morals." He stretched his hand, fingers catching a few strand of my hair. "And I would never cheat, not on you."
Sinamaan ko lang siya ng tingin. Glaring at the man who broke my record.
"Quit being a sore loser and give me my prize." He demanded saka nag-ayos ng upo. His watch, necklace, and even his gold ear piercing long surrendered after losing matches with me.
But what did I bet?
Hahaha...
"Tia." Maybe I'm an idiot. "C'mere."
I gulped, swallowing a small lump in my throat as I slowly sat up. Hands accepting his' as I bit my lower lip.
His brown auburn orbs stare at me, analyzing my reaction, wary of any discomfort. His hair once messy after several frustrating loses now swept back revealing his forehead, increasing his charm. His lips forming a reassuring smile, dimples marking both sides of his cheeks. And lastly, his high pointed nose completing his god so perfect face.
It's no wonder people likes him, he's a looker.
He's Wayne Phoenix Vertegio.
The Hottest Top Student from the College of Engineering and Architecture Department.
And the guy who I bet myself to.
