Come On, Make Me (COMPLETED)

Chapter 20

I'd drive him crazy, like how he made me crazy.

Nakapagbayad na ako at lahat, naglalakad na kami ulit, but Jasper was still keen on knowing what Nico told me. Gosh, he was relentless! 'Di ko akalain na may side pala siya na ganito? I thought kasi pagiging dull boy lang ang alam niya.

"A secret is a secret nga, Jasper, so why will I tell you?" I answered.

"Just tell me," he said.

"Ayaw."

"Siobhan," he said in a warning tone, but instead na matakot, kinilig lang ako. Kainis talaga 'yang si First Lieutenant.

"Baka pagpush-up-in mo ulit sila Nico if I tell you." He didn't answer. "See? Baka magalit pa sila sa akin if sabihin ko."

Jasper didn't seem to like my answer, so he began to walk behind me again. I turned around and frowned at him.

"Dito ka sa tabi ko," I said.

"Tell me first."

"That's violation of the pact of secrecy."

"Then no," he stubbornly replied.

"Ikakamatay mo ba kapag hindi mo nalaman?"

But dull boy didn't answer and just continued walking behind me like a creep! Kainis! I thought our day would end up just fine... pero hindi pala because he's acting like some kid.

After a while, I got fed up kasi para talaga siyang stalker na naka-sunod lang sa akin. I stopped and faced him.

"Fine. I'll tell you," I said. "In one condition."

"What?" he asked, like he was ready to do anything basta malaman niya lang kung ano iyong sinabi sa akin ni Nico.

I sweetly smiled at him. "Let's play games sa arcade."

"What?" he asked, obviously nagulat sa sinabi ko. But that was what I wanted to do since this morning! Alam mo 'yun? I have read countless of books and watched tons of movies! Lahat ng mga couples ginagawa 'yun! Kanina ko pa gustong hatakin si Jasper sa arcade and ask him to win me a big stuffed toy... pero sobrang obvious ko na if I ask him to do it for me.

Was it so wrong to use the situation to my advantage? We'd both get what we want naman. He'd get the information he so badly wanted. And I would get my first stuffed toy from him.

"Let's play as arcade and after I'm satisfied, I'll tell you what Nico told me," I told him and the pulled him to the arcade—syempre kilig ako because I was holding his hand in the guise of pulling him.

Pagdating namin sa arcade, maraming tao... mostly teenagers and teen couples on a date. But that didn't dampen my spirits. I just wanted to be here with Jasper.

"After we finish playing all the game, I'll tell you," I said to him.

"Everything?"

I beamed and nodded. "Yes. So, deal, Mr. Ybañez?"

Jasper sighed and said, "Fine."

I was grinning like crazy nung una kaming pumunta sa basketball hoops after ko bumili ng card.

"Do you play basketball?" I asked him.

"No," he replied.

"What sports do you play?"

"Rugby," he replied.

"Hmm... Bagay nga sa 'yo," I commented. I could totally see Jasper playing Rugby. Ang laki kaya ng katawan ni Jasper! But fortunately, not to the point naman na mukha na siyang wrestler. He's just in really good shape.
