Umiling siya pagkatapos marinig ang huling sinabi ko. Mukhang hindi pa siya makapaniwala sa mga naiisip kong kabalastugan.

"I've said, I'm not up--"

"It's just a game, why are you rejecting this?"

Tumayo ako at bumaba sa high chair.

Laro lang naman, bakit ba hindi na lang ako paunlakan.

"It's not that just a game if we will having a deal after, Pelestina Draia dela Cuest."

Pinigilan ko na ang sarili sa pag irap. As far as I remembered, this is not the 'Calvin' I met and know years ago. I've known him for being that arrogant and... competitve.

Based on experienced and what I've noticed, he would do anything just to win! Kahit sa ano mang bagay, pero bakit ngayon...

"Where's the fun in that, Calvin?" hindi ko na  makapaniwalang tanong. I know that he is smart enough to understand what I am trying to say. 

Ano ba 'yong gusto niya, maglalaro lang kami pagkatapos ay kung sino ang manalo ay 'congratulations' na lang?

"Why do you always want to have fun, anyway?" his eyes still not looking mine.

Woah, wait. Did I heard him right?

I shook my head in disbelief. "Hindi ba ay, gawain mo din 'yan?" I shot fired. Tumingin naman siya sa akin.

He sighed and he looked so problematic than ever.

Sinandal ko ang dalawang kamay sa billiard table before I glance at him again. Ginawa niya rin ang ginawa ko, he's still on my right side.

Tinagilid niya ang ulo at hinintay niya lang na mag salita ulit ako.

"This is just like a game and dare! Why are you making this such a big deal?"

I don't even know if it is for him or it is for myself!

If this is his way para mabigyan ako ng hard time, at kung iniisip niyang basta-basta na lang akong sumusuko... nagkakamali siya.

He walked to the other corner again, kung saan kaharap niya na ako mismo. He leaned closer to the table, that it gave me a chance to look at his biceps. The muscles on it flex when he tried to put his both hands down.

"The one and only Calvin Fellizar, nagdadalawang isip na pala ngayon?" I pointed-out as I've noticed him not giving any hint of interest.

"Tell me about the deal you've said, then." and I know for sure that, that was his last cue. Kasi kung hindi, bakit niya tatanungin ang idea ko.

I walked to where the cue sticks first, then I grabbed one before I turned to him again. Nakita ko siyang kinuha na ang kanya na naka patong lang sa table kanina.

Dumiretso ako sa kaliwa, habang siya ay nasa gitna parin. Hawak hawak ang cue stick. We were just meters away now.

Tinukod ko ang stick at pahapyaw kong sinandal ang katawan doon, while the man infront of me is looking darkly now.

"After I beat you--"

"Not gonna happen," he immediately fired back, he didn't let me finish tho.
