ThirBea : Moments

Third-wheel no-more

"Hi, Bei!" She greeted.

"Hey, Tine. What's up?" I asked her as I drank from my tumbler.

"Iinvite sana kita sa birthday ko, pwede ka ba?" Tine asked.

"I'll check my schedule, Christine. Medyo busy ako ngayon, and I'm missing some of my classes." I answered.

"Okay... Sana makapunta ka ah.." She said.

"I'll make sure of that. Gusto mo mag-lunch tayo mamaya? Treat ko!" I suggested.

"Sure! Ay! Teka lang ah?" She took her phone and answered it.

"Bei!" Someone called me from behind. It was Jho.

"Huy! Isa pa daw laro sabi ni Coach. Mamaya mo na balikan yang si Christine! May kausap pa o!" She explained. Hay nako tong si Jho.

"Fine. Let's go!" I stood up and then ran to my team.

"Bea, si Thirdy nga pala. Boyfriend ko." Tine said. I shook hands with Thirdy.

He was flashing different looks at me. Creepy.

"Umm... Hi..." I nervously said.

"Hello. You must be Bea, Tine's best friend. She always tells me how good you are at volleyball." He said with a smile.

"Uh... Yeah.. Actually, I play for . And, unluckily, this girl, stopped." I said as I looked at Tine.

"Why? Di naman ako nagagamit eh. Tsaka, napagod na ko kaka-cheer." She replied.

"Because you would always absent during trainings.." I said.

"Eh, shut up. Libre mo diba?" She asked with her puppy eyes. Ughh...

"Fine. Just one meal tho. Pag nag-order pa tong boyfriend mo, sagot mo na." I reminded.

I stood up and went to the counter to order.

I was speechless during the meal, Tine would always ask questions and tell stories, but I couldn't answer because I was really creeped out by her boyfriend. He was looking at me like he wanted to eat me alive. Yung nakakamatay na titig kumbaga.

Then I felt his feet, going up in between my legs, giving me shivers. I choked.

"Rrr.. I'm sorry. I need to go to the CR." I excused myself and stood up, then walked to the comfort room. I was looking at myself in the mirror.

"Bea, calm down. Nothing could go wrong, diba?" I told myself. I then felt a pair of arms around my waist. I looked up and saw Thirdy. Oh no...

"Hello, Bea..." He said calmly.

"H-hi." I said back.

He placed on arm on my belly and made his way inside my shirt.

"T-Thirdy? W-what are you doing?" I asked nervously.

"Nothing... Just wanted to..." Before he could continue, he kissed my neck. Making my head tilt towards him.

"T-Thirds... S-stop please..." I begged.

He continued what he was doing.

"T-Thirdy, stop! Ano bang ginagawa mo?!" I yelled.

"Isn't it obvious, Bea? I like you!" He said madly.

"You can't! May girlfriend ka, at ayaw kong nakikitang nasasaktang ang best friend ko!" I exclaimed.

"Then I'll break up with her! Please, Bea... I like you so much.." He begged. I fixed my shirt then took my bag. I rushed to Tine and told her I was going.
