In Love With The Game (COMPLETED)

Chapter 08

"What?" he asked. "Quit staring."

"Sungit naman nito."

He sighed. "Sorry. Inaantok lang ako," he said, and then put on a smile on his face. "What's up?"

It was weird how fast his mood changed. Like something inside him just snapped and his whole demeanor changed. Kaya hindi ko rin talaga alam dito kay Yago... He's showing me this side... but it's really apparent that there were a lot of things he's hiding...

Kagaya nitong jolly personality niya.

It seemed fake.

"Nothing," I replied. "Umalis ka ba kagabi ulit?"

"Yeah."

"Bumalik ka sa Pablo's?"

Umiling siya. "Went to a club."

"Akala ko changed person ka na?"

He shrugged. "Thought so too."

"So... did you score?"

He looked at me. "You really want to talk about that?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. Just want to talk about anything. Tahimik mo ngayon, e," I said, and then poured him a glass of water, and slid it over to him. "It's throwing me off."

Yago took the glass of water and downed it. Ang tahimik niya talaga ngayon, nakaka-loka! Feeling ko tuloy may nagawa akong masama dahil ang moody niya! Pinilit kong magbacktrack kung may nasabi ba ako... or kung meron nga pero hindi ko lang maalala? I didn't drink a lot last night, but I still took a few shots—kinailangan ko kasi kailangan ko ng kapal ng mukha after the stunt Yago pulled!

"I'm okay," he said. "And to answer your question, I tried to bring someone home, but decided against it half-way."

I arched my brow. "Bakit?"

"Wasn't in the best mood."

Natawa ako. "May mood pa pala 'yun?"

He looked at me. "Are you a virgin?"

Bigla akong nakaramdam ng pamumula sa buong katawan ko. This fucking asshole! Did he really just have to blurt it out like that?! Sobrang casual ng pagtatanong niya! Parang tinanong niya lang ako ng one plus one!

"Fuck—really?!"

Agad akong tumayo. I began to walk towards my room. I didn't want to discuss that with him! Nakaka-loka! Oo, comfortable ako kay Yago, but not to that level! May hiya pa naman ako! Hindi ako kagaya niya na sobrang wala lang pag-usapan iyong ganoong bagay!

"Rory," he said, knocking on my door.

"Iwanan mo na lang pinagkainan mo, ako na maghuhugas."

"Open the door."

I got my noise-cancelling headphone and put it on. He'd never convince me to talk about that! Mamamatay muna ako bago ko idiscuss ang virginity ko kay Yago! He'd have to fucking torture the answers out of me!

I stayed inside the room for almost an hour bago ako nagdecide na lumabas. Mukhang wala naman nang tao sa labas kaya malakas ang loob ko na lumabas na... but boy, I was wrong!

"Seriously?!" sigaw ko nang makita ko si Yago na naka-upo sa gilid ng pinto ng kwarto ko. He even got codal and highlighters beside him! Talagang nag-aral na siya sa gilid ng pinto ko!

"You weren't answering," he said, laughing.

"Because I don't wanna talk about—" sabi ko nang mapa-tigil ako. Ugh! Even saying the word makes me feel uncomfortable!
