Irritation filled him while driving fast to arrive in Vadquez Boxing Club, his friend should have a better explanation for calling him and disturbing his freaking sleep or else he'll pay for it.
All eyes were on Trav when he entered the Training room of the club, except for the girl who's busy hitting the punching bag with anger.
His heart is hammering inside his chest, this couldn't be! There's only one woman can make his heart thump like crazy!
His heart are getting wild every passing second so he stop gazing at her and sit on a vacant bleacher to breath. Siya nga iyon! Ang babaeng bumabaliw sa kaniya hanggang ngayon.
Napakaganda pa rin nito kahit na sa suot nitong sports bra, muscle shirt boxing shorts. Boyish.
Napangiti si Trav, kahit kailan ay napaka boyish ng babaeng gusto niya. Hindi man lang ito nagbago kahit katiting, kaya mas lalo niya itong hinahangaan.
Worried was written all over Trav's face when he saw blood from the gloves she's wearing.
Her hands are bleeding! Hindi niya alam kung anong gagawin, kung lalapitan ba niya ito para siya mismo ang gumamot sa kamay nito o tatawagan niya ang taong alam niyang mas makakatulong rito.
He chooses the latter instead, so he picked his phone and called someone. After three rings someone pick-up his phone from the other line.
"You already see her? Good. Hung up now because I'm busy-!"
"Her hands are bleeding, go and check her wounds"
Trav heard a loud cuss from the other line before it died. Seems like the latter was a good choice.
Hindi pa siya handa na magpakita sa babae ngayon, kaya kahit gustong-gusto na niya itong lapitan at kausapin ay hindi niya magawa. Hindi pa niya kaya.
Napabuntong hininga na lang si Trav saka lumabas at umalis sa lugar na iyon.
Someday...
He will be proud to tell the world how much he loves her.
JACEE WAS BUSY hitting the punching bag when someone grab her arm before it can throw another punch. She was ready to nagged at the person who stop her when her eyes settled on his bestfriend who's face were dark.
Is he mad? Why? What did she do?
Nasagot lahat ng tanong ni Jacee nang dalhin siya nito sa opisina at dahan-dahang alisin ang gloves niya. Halos mamilipit siya sa sakit pero hindi niya iyon pinakita.
Pumasok naman ang coach niya at mga kapwa boksingero niyang sila Alice at Rey. Ang kaibigan naman niyang si Enn ay dinaig pa ang mama niya kung pagalitan siya dahil sa namamaga na niyang kamao na nililinis nito.
"What did I told you Jacee Claye Venizse! Don't push yourself too much, Don't be hard on yourself, tingnan mo ngayon ang nangyari sa kamay mo maga! Hindi ka kasi nakikinig---blah,blah,blah"
Gone his endearment for her. Jay Enn always call her baby girl everytime, but when he's mad he call her in her full name. That makes her more irritated to him.
May bahid ng inis sa tono ng magsalita ulit ang kaibigan niya.
"Are you listening to me?"She just shrug that made him more annoyed. Jacee ignore his bestfriend's words. So protective!
Tumayo si Jacee at iniwan ang kaibigan sa opisina nito matapos nitong lagyan ng benda ang kamay niya.
Narinig pa niya ang pagtawag nito sa pangalan niya pero hindi na niya iyon pinansin.
Sumakay siya sa motor at nagmaneho papuntang pinakamalapit na mall.
Bibili muna siya ng libro para pampalipas oras habang namamaga ang kamay niya.
