Overview : That awkward moment na kine-claim ng iba na asawa daw nila ang boyfriend mo. That awkward moment na may tinatago ang bestfriend mo. That awkward moment when hindi ka makapasok sa loob dahil 'di ka kilala and that final awkward moment when he suddenly grabs you by the hand and pulled you into one of those popping and mind-blowing kiss of the century

the bonus? is when they ask who you are to him and he'll say "She's my girl". Got any clue how this chap would flow? read!




Quote :there will always be someone smarter, better looking and younger. but they don't have your life experiences. and that's your edge






~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~






“Go number 22!!! Woooh!!” Not bothered by the glares she gets, Meg stood up from the bleacher and cheered for Iñigo. She tossed her hankie in the air and then shouted some more







We are now at the the upper A bleacher of Sta. Ana Race track where the fundraising competition is about to start. It was 7 pm sharp when I decided to drag Meg along with me






Then she looked down at me as a brow was raise on her face “and why aren’t you cheering for your boyfriend, Nina?”






I heard few gasp from behind us and I turned around to see a bunch of squealing annoying group of teenagers







“Narinig niyo ba yun? Girlfriend daw?” sniggered by one of them
“Well, dream on girl! Ako lang naman ang asawa ni Iñigo” a skinny-as-stick girl wearing a sleeveless halter that shows her non-existent curves stood up and folded her arms on top of her chest






Ano daw?!







“Hoy hoy hoy! Asawa?!” another girl stood up, She was quite pretty but the shade of her lipstick, Mac Pink Nouveau, didn’t suit her at all
“You’re so ambi talaga! Baka you meant kabit?”







 Just when the girl was laughing on her sole victory, another one form their group stood up. A gay-man added an extra 'ooooph'  before fully making his way up from where he sat. He reminded me a lot of Ricci Chan from No other Woman.




He flipped his non-existent long black hair and then held his chin up to show superiority amongst them





“Tsk! The only kabit here are all of you, cuz.. I am the legal wife!” He said and then suddenly, his eyes landed on our direction
 “Kaya bitches who claim him should wake up and stop dreaming on!” 







A conjoined laughter came from their lips while they exchange this non-linguistic look at each other.





“Aba.. gago ‘to ah!” Meg gritted her teeth and was about to stand from where she sat



But thank god! I pulled her hand.. I don’t know what she could do when she’s piss




“Meg” I warned and then shook my head in disapproval.
 She let go a deep harsh breath and then murmured “Naghahamon eh”. She intwined her arms on top of her chest and glared in the air








“Let them be, you know what they say .. libre lang mangarap” A husky male-ish voice uttered. We both looked up to see a familiar tall man with the same Cheshire grin








“Footlong?” He offered and handled me one with a soda







“Patrick!” Meg stood up and then gave the man who stood before us a warm hug
 She let go from the hug and grab the footlong from Patrick’s hands “I thought you don’t go along with crowds and noises?”







“I wouldn’t miss this fundraising for anything”





 I watched them as they sat close to each other. There's something different between these two. I couldn't just pin point out what but whenever Patrick would whisper something on Meg’s ear she’ll end up either laughing or nudging him on his stomach which I find really adorable 





They act more as a brother-sister than lovers and they seemed closer than the last time I saw them together. Definitely, They're upto something now.






The last time I saw them was the time they were really intimate on Meg’s couch










Bssszzzt Bsssszzt Bsssszzzt









My blackberry snoozed inside my Dooney & Bourke Blue handbag. I immediately grabbed it and saw an SMS coming from..






From : Iñigo
Look at me






I’ve scanned the oval and saw him there smiling while holding his helmet on his side. He looked so flawless and hot even when He was just wearing his red NASCAR jacket which seems to be his trademark






Even when distance kept us apart, I could still manage and outline how his smile was plastered on his perfect cult face.







“OMG!! He’s looking at our way!!”
“I think I’m gonna faint”
“Gwapooooo!!!”

squealed by the same annoying pile of wanna-bes behind us. Meg just made faces and told them to 'shut the fuck up'








I, Being the modess Nina, just rolled her eyes and then smug at Iñigo. He looked down on his phone once more and started typing. 






What is he doing?




Consequently, my blackberry vibrated yet again ..





From: Iñigo
I think you forgot my goodluck kiss
 





I smiled and I looked down the oval and saw him leaning on his car, as if waiting for my cue. This bad-ass hottie knows when to allure women our age.






To: Iñigo
You know that’s impossible.






It took him approximately less than a second to respond and sent his reply on my phone







From: Iñigo
 Hhmm.. I guess you owe me  after the race. At may interest na, dapat more than one


 I saw him smirked before he looked up once again to catch me in the waves of the crowd. He was standing on the oval while waving at our direction








To : Iñigo
I guess I do. Your call. Any time and anywhere








“OMMMMFFFGG!! HE’S WAVING AT OUR DIRECTION. HE’S WAVING!!!”
exaggerated by one female on the east part of the wing







I looked up and saw he is indeed waving at me with flirty wink to match with


Stay still my heart







He blew a soft flying kiss which made the crowd howled as they've gone totally wild with it.


He seems really popular




I was about to waved back at him when I heard a loud gush of screaming girls from behind us. They seemed to be so in to the waving part that they squealed on top of their lungs








“KUMAWAY SIYA SAKEEN!”
“TANGA! SAKEN YUN!
“ASA KA! HALATA NAMANG PARA SKEN YUNG FLYING KISS!”




I withdrew my hand back and then sighed






“Feeling ko any minute guguho tong bleacher” Patrick uttered as he tighten his grip on Meg’s waist
“Che! Chansing naman yang ginagwa mo!” Meg yanked away Patrick’s hand and glared at him





“Totoo kaya! And this is actually the first time I see that 1 is to 30 ang ratio ng men to women sa isang racing competition. Do these bitches know how the sport of racing works?” teased by Patrick while Meg glared at him and elbowed his gut








“Hey what did I do?” Patrick complained
Meg’s expression suddenly soften when she turn her attention to me and then smiled
“Don’t listen to him. For sure, they came here for charity”



Maybe he's right



 “Meg, Patrick’s right. I guess if It wasn’t with these good-looking racers, I don’t think they would even be here in the first place” I sighed while Meg finally had nothing else to say anymore. She was about to open her mouth but decided to close it immediately











“Good Evening, People of Sta. Ana Racetrack! And welcome to ‘ Watch, Race && Go’” A man in his expensive-looking tux said through the mic. The crowd began to feel giddy and were excited when racers started walking through the oval and at the side of their car






“A fundraising event conjoined by these young good-looking racers whose aim are to help those who were greatly affected by typhoon Sendong” A woman in her late 30’s uttered as she gracefully walked beside her co-host





“Indeed, Vicky .. young good-hearted men in their generation. I’m sure these audience don’t like us to keep them waiting right there on their seat. So let’s start..”





“A man wearing his lucky green NASCAR jacket with number 13 crest on his delts. A man who won 3rd Place overall Formula BMW Pacific Championship with 1 Podium last year. And the 3  of youngest and best Asian Driver of 68 participants on Buenos Aires. Ladies and gents .. Matt De’Angelo!”






The crowd howled as a very fine-looking man stood up next to his harlequin-colored Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. He waved at everyone else on the track and smiled flashing his alluring heart-melting smile which made the girls squeal and the crowd went wild










“The crowd seem to love him that much” The female host commented while smiling at that racer.



I guess hindi lang audience and fans ang may gusto sa kaniya.. kahit host 
I thought when the female host seemed abashed when Matt smiled back at her too



“Next, is a man who not only inherited the charm of  the  former Champion  of Philippine Senior Rotax Max Challenge. He also got the speed and tricks to win from his father. Let us welcome .. Kaifer De la Merced”









Kaifer De la Merced? It kinda rings a bell
I thought as I saw a familiar man on his late 20’s smiling









The role call continued as the host began introducing each racers on the track. On by one they come up They graced and took the spotlight with those really tempting smiles that got the female species squeeled 




On the other hand, I watched as few pieces of flashback run through my head






I was scribbling down various notes that I should use as details when I saw a hand extend it self to me while holding a coke





I looked up only to see a man in his late 20’s as he smiled at me




He had this strong jaw line just like Iñigo’s and definitely over towering me with his height.

He nodded at me to take his coke so I smiled in return and took it while he sat next to me





“Kaifer De La Merced” He said with such friendliness in his tone while tossing his drink up on me
“Nina Fernandez” I said in return as I opened the can of coke in my hands and tossed it up as well
