"PLEASE..." Cash replied, that surprised me. My lips parted.

I took a step back and stared at his face in disbelief.

"You're just kidding, aren't you?" I nervously chuckled, but his face remained stoic.

My forehead creased a little. He took a step forward to close the gap between us before slowly lowering his face into mine.

I gulped.

"C-Cash..." I stuttered, but he just kept on lowering his face until his face was literally just an inch away from mine. I could smell his scent. Our lips are almost touching.

My eyes widened, and I couldn't move a muscle. I wanted to push him off, but I didn't want to do it at the same time. My heart is pounding so loudly against my chest, and my palms are starting to get really sweaty.

A smile appeared on his lips. "Gotcha!" he uttered. His lips softly brushed against mine, and I almost forgot how to breathe!

Lumayo na sa'kin si Cash at saka tumawa ang loko dahil nakaganti siya sa'kin!

"You should have seen the look on your face!" Cash said while laughing so loudly.

I glared at him, but then he wouldn't stop laughing, so I started walking away and left him behind.

"Hey, wait up!" he called while catching up behind me.

I frowned at him when he caught up and started walking beside me again.

His face turned red when he pursed his lips together to stop himself from laughing.

"Bwisit ka!" I glared at him.

Oh, god. I just tasted my own medicine, and it is bitter!

"You started it kaya, and now you're napipikon," he said, stifling his laughter.

"You made a very bad choice in starting a war with me," I said, rolling my eyes at him. He just chuckled again.

"It is on!"

"It is really, really on!" he repeated. I bumped into his shoulder, kasi nakakainis siya.

Hindi niya alam kung anong pumasok sa isip ko nang magsabi siya ng 'please' kanina! I almost considered working at VM Corp. instead! Napaka-walanghiya!

He casually draped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him. "Do you want another ice cream cone to calm your nerves?" He teases.

I tried to push him off, but who am I kidding? He is huge kaya compared sa'kin!

"Buy me a whole ice cream store instead. Pinainit mo iyong ulo ko." Sabi ko at tinitigan siya nang masama. Tuloy-tuloy lang kami sa paglalakad at hindi ko na alam kung saan kami papunta dahil paikot-ikot lang kami sa loob ng park.
