Games on Blazing Flames (Flames Series #1)

Chapter 10

Difference

I immediately dressed up in high-waisted leather pants, a white cropped top, and heeled boots. I tied my hair into a high ponytail and put on light makeup. I sprayed my favorite perfume on my neck and wrists before going downstairs.

Hindi ko maiwasang ma-excite dahil sa gagawin namin. I've never been into a shooting range. I want to try it but no one will accompany me.

"Let's go." I tried hard not to sound excited when I said that but I guess I'm not really that good at hiding my excitement.

"You're cute." Suminghap ako at hinampas siya.

"Don't call me cute!" Naiiling na sabi ko habang siya ay nakasunod sakin. Nakapagpaalam na rin ako kay Manang Celia na aalis kami ni Sage.

He laughed and opened the front seat for me bago umikot patungo sa driver's seat.

"Your boys haven't brought you in a shooting range?" Nakangisi niyang tanong. Napairap ako. 

"Yeah, we just eat outside and uhm... MOMOL." I chuckled.

"MOMOL?" Umawang ang labi ko at mabilis na nilingon siya.

"You don't know MOMOL? Oh... baka hindi ka naman kasi nakikipag-MOMOL, sex agad," tumatango-tangong sabi ko.

Malamang ayaw niya ng make out lang, he wants sex. Diretso sex agad.

"What the fuck is MOMOL?" Kunot noong tanong niya. I chuckled dahil sa diin ng pagkakasabi niya. I think he's annoyed and he's hotter when like this.

"Duh! Make out make out lang," I said while rolling my eyes.

"You what? You make out with your guys?"

"Duh! Ikaw nga nakamakeout ko kaya malamang..." Inirapan ko siya kahit na medyo nailang ako dahil sa sinabi ko. Nag-make out kami! Dito mismo sa kotse niya. Fuck!

"Fuck..." He muttered. Yeah, fuck. Bakit ko pa kasi sinabi 'yon?

Kagat-kagat ko ang labi ko habang nakatingin sa labas. This is so awkward for me! I don't know why!

"So, you're telling me, I'm one of your flings?" He asked. Pigil ang hininga ko habang nakatingin parin sa labas. I don't want to see him. I don't want him to see how awkward this is for me.

Is Sage a fling? What is he? Kalandian lang? Aren't those the same?

"Ah... h-hindi ba?" I stuttered, shit! This is embarrassing! 

"I'm not like them, Chant. I'm not just a fling."

So, anong gusto niya? He wants more? Friends with benefits? Fuck buddy?

"But, that's the only thing I could offer to men, you know that right? I always tell you that."

Bumuga siya ng marahas na hininga at hinigpitan ang kapit sa steering wheel. He didn't talk after that. I don't know what's going on in his mind. I want to know but he's not being transparent now.

We got to the shooting range without even talking. I don't think he'll answer if ever I talk to him. He looks frustrated. Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses siyang suminghap.

"Ang tahimik mo," puna ko habang papasok kami sa shooting range.

"I'm sorry," aniya at binasa ang labi.

"It's okay." Ngumiti ako at sumunod sa kaniya. May kinausap siyang lalaki pagpasok habang ako naman ay tumitingin lang sa mga nakadisplay na baril sa loob ng isang salaming cabinet. Iba't-ibang uri iyon ng mga baril, hindi ko alam kung totoo ang lahat.
