"I've been good, for some time...I'd be lying if I said that you ain't on my mind, Been tryin' to give it some time..."

We were both silent as we let ourselves to be ready and well prepared. He was the one who fixed the billiards ball and put it on the triangle rack.

My eyes are all on him. I noticed that his move were all slow and very careful.

Binalik ko na lang ang atensyon sa cue stick na hawak, kumuha na rin ako ng chalk para malagyan ang dulo nito.

Habang ginagawa ko iyon ay pa balik balik akong sumusulyap sa kanya na ngayon ay 'yon na din ang ginagawa.

I coughed a bit to get his attention. I'm not looking at him though, because I am still 'busy' preparing my lucky stick. Nasulyapan ko naman siyang tumingin sakin, at sa hawak ko. He's all seat and done. He's just waiting for me to finish now.

Ako naman ngayon ang matipid at mahinang gumagalaw. Maghintay ka diyan.

"Where's your boytoy anyway?" hindi ko alam anong sinasabi niya. Nakatuon lang ang pansin ko sa ginagawa. "Bakit mo naman naisipan na kapag nanalo ka ay ipag da-drive kita sa loob ng isang buwan?" he continued.

I hate explaining and I don't want to be specific either. It seems like he also noticed the sudden change of my expression. He took that one chance to open his mouth again. More like, he's enjoying his moment to annoy me.

"Can't you just make a call to all your damn boys? And  tell each one of them to be your instant driver, instead..."

I raised my brow as I glanced at him. His soft lips were a bit open. He's kind of annoyed but still manage to composed himself, and the playful look plastered on his face is very visible.

And it is making my blood boiled, which is I obviously hated.

He's really trying my patient, huh.

"Bakit hindi na lang ikaw, diba?" That was almost a shaky comeback. Buti na lang, maarte at parang bitch ko pa rin na na deliver 'yon.

"I'm not your driver here, Draia." iritado na niyang sabat. Ayan! Grabe, wala na bang mas mahirap dito?

At tsaka wala pa nga eh, so magpapatalo siya? I bit my lip as I try to held back my smirk. Pero sa kaloob-looban ay natatawa na naman. 

"And most importantly, I am not your boy." he coldy said.

I gave my full attention to him. Nakita ko rin na ayos na ang paglalaruan namin. Umayos na ako ng tayo at pumwesto na. Looking very attentive, sinagot ko siya nang hindi tinitignan.

"Soon, you'll be." mahina kong balik. Tinutukoy ang sinabi niyang hindi ko naman daw siya driver.

Nasulyapan ko naman ang parang naguguluhan niyang mukha. But that was just a split of seconds, agad niya akong tinignan ng masama bago na rin pumwesto. Kaya pa, Calvin?

Hindi ko alam kung paano ako naka takas sa sagutan na 'yon! Dami pa kasing satsat, pinag puputok ng butchi niya sa mga lalaki ko? Wait, meron ba? Sabi nila meron, edi meron.

Umikot siya sa kabilang corner, ganoon din ang ginawa ko bitbit ang stick.

I don't know why my heart is beating so loud and fast. Maybe, because the pressure is all mine? Dahil syempre, ako ang mananalo dito. Hindi siya.
