" ..... Attorney Castell is officially the New President of the Philippines........," the reporter on TV broadcast played in background.
Same darkness. Same chess. Same hood.
" Congratulations," malamig na tugon ng lalaking naka hood.
His white knight in F3 killed the black knight in D4.
" Congratulations too."
Castell said as he killed his bishop with a knight.
" What's your next move?" - Castell.
" Mmm? Winning people's hearts ."
" How?"
" By making villains that even country's villains would fear. We'll save them from that villains and be their hero," he said and met his gaze.
" I'm not limiting my " villains " to people of course ," he added.
Castell nod.
" There is a man that pique my interest. Please fetch him," he said as he make his last move. " CHECKMATE," he announced.
Castell sighed.
" And because I lose again, I don't have another option."

I was in the changing room. Kakahubad ko lang ng gloves nang pumasok si Damon.
" Aaah!" I screamed in surprised.
He squinted his eyes towards me.
" Alam mo namang male changing room 'to diba?"
" Wala naman kasi akong nakitang women's changing room."
" Tingin-tingin din sa campus map. Nasa third floor yun. Pasalamat ka walang ibang pumasok dito. Labas na nga."
"Anong labas? Ang layo kaya ng third floor. Dito na lang ako."
I answered and took off my gown.
" Edi wag ."
My eyes widened when he took off his clothes in front of me.
Sheyt!
" Hoy kaharap mo ako. Naghuhubad ka dyan."
" Tumalikod ka kung gusto mo. Basic."
I smirked.
Ang payat niya tingnan. Akala ko tuloy wala siyang abs eh. Haha ang judgemental ko talaga.
" Is it that Vital? "
Napakunot ang noo ko.
" Anong vital sinasabi mo?"
" Is it vital to drool over me?"
I wiped my mouth.
Damn! wala naman eh. Nakamask kaya ako.
"Loko-loko! "
Tiningnan niya lang ako. He look like he's smiling. Pero hindi ako sigurado.
" If you're done checking my body, might as well change your clothes. I'll wait outside ."
Tumango lang ako. He took four steps when he looked back and spoke.
" Or ... do you prefer me checking your body too?"
Binato ko siya ng hanger.
Umilag lang naman sya.
" Tssk. As if naman interesado ako," he said and close the door.
