Everyone was drunk except Nikka. She has high tolerance of alcohol she only knew now because she hadn't drank before.
" May alas na ako sa inyo," she said and giggled as she took pictures of her team, lying in the bed, leaning on the table, having different positions.
" Sayang. Nakamask kayo. Laglagan na sana 'to eh," she muttered to herself, tap the video button of her phone and place it on the table where everyone would fit in the screen .
She sat beside Commandment and stared at him for a while.
Hindi niya alam kung bakit pero kahit naiintimidate sya sa presensya ni Commandment, she felt safer when he's around. She felt secure when others are around too but the feeling when she's with Commandment, it's a whole different level.
" I'm drunk," he said in a calm voice that stunned her. She didn't expect he's awake.
" I know," tugon niya at inayos ang buhok nito.
"Aren't you scared of me? "
Bahagya siyang natawa sa sinabi nito.
"Why would I? "
Minulat ni Commandment ang mga mata. He doesn't look drunk at all. She's sure he wears contacts just like her yet the stares he give her, it's as if they're looking at each other, soul to soul.
" I might end up kissing you."
Natawa sya ng mahina sa sinabi nito.
" Mas dapat kang matakot saken," she said and hug him. " Your drunk. I might use that to my advantage," pananakot niya rito.
" Don't rape me," he said and shut his eyes again.
Natawa na naman si Nikka sa sinasabi nito at napailing.
"Sana ganito ka komportable makigpag-usap sa'yo kahit di ka lasing," aniya.
"Left Knight?"
"Mmm?"
"Your lips."
Napatingin sya rito.
"What about my lips?"
Itinaas ni Commandment ang daliri at hinawakan ang labi nito na natatakpan ng mask.
"What about my lips?" pag-uulit ni Nikka ng tanong.
She was caught off guard when he leaned closer to her ears and whispered.
" It passed my standards."
She was petrified in her seat. The image of a blurry man's back flashed in her mind.
Could he be the Future Husband who saved her?
Pero maya-maya lang ay napailing sya. She thought it would be impossible. Wala pa si Commandment nun at kung sakali si Commandment man yun, he should be eliminated for breaking the fourth rule.
" ...Mga tambay lang kami sawa sa babae... mga babaeng manloloko piniperahan lang kami."
Her eyes routed to Spongebob who sang. Tears fell down from his eyes non-stop.
" Hahaha nakakahiya kayo," she commented.
Naramdaman niyang may tumanggal sa kamay niya mula sa pagkayakap kay Commandment.
It's Damon.
" Luh! Nagseselos ka kahit lasing? " she joked.
" Yes," he said with eyes partly opened.
May kung anong mainit na pakiramdam ang humaplos sa puso niya.
Becoming a player. Meeting them. Being their Left Knight. Code Game.
