Alex's Point of View

I know I almost trip off my seat when that Pontiac took over the finish line 0.05 sec ahead of my Camaro bet.

Sunod-sunod na hiyawan ang narinig sa field but I was more stunned from my loss.

I lost my Ferrari!

Shit and damnation!

I couldn't believe it. Sa isang iglap nawala sa akin ang pinaka-paborito at bagong-bago kong kotse.

"I won! I won!" Nagtutumalon sa tuwa si Carmi habang niyakap si Fredrick and when I looked at them parang gusto kong matawa sa kabila ng pagkatalo ko. Dahil kulang na lamang maiyak sa frustration si Fredrick. I smirked.

Hindi naman ako totally natalo.

Dahil hindi ko gugustuhin na makipag-sex sa Fredrick na 'to. Over my dead body!

"So, Alex," nakangising baling sa akin ni Carmi. I put on my sad face. Kaysa naman ipakita ko na balewala lang sa akin ang pagkatalo ko sa Ferrari ko. "Kailan ko kukunin ang kotse?"

I sighed. "Can you give me at least a week? Alam mo na, I love that car! And it's quite expensive," kunwa'y nanghihinayang kong sabi.

Si Fredrick lamang ang mukhang namatayan sa grupo. I wanted to laugh so hard.

Umismid si Carmi. "Ang daya mo naman."

"Oo nga, Alex! You should follow the rules, you lose!" ganting sagot ni Chele. "Wala kang isang salita!"

"Wala naman tayong pinag-usapan kung kailan makukuha ang kotse di ba? But nevertheless, it will be yours, Carmi. I just need a few moments to enjoy the Ferrari," sa nakikiusap kong tono.

I must act well.

O malalaman nila that I really don't care. Not even a bit.

Mas mahalaga sarili ko kaysa sa kotse na yon no?

She rolled her eyes upward. Parang naawa sa akin. "Okay! After a week I will collect my prize! You better accept it na natalo ka!"

I sighed kunwari in relief. "Oh thank you, Carmi. You are an angel."

Angel na pwede kong sukahan anytime, I wanted to add.

"Let's celebrate!" sabi ni Arianna na obviously kanina pa gustong umalis sa racetrack. She is bored with this kind of stuff, mas gusto nito na mag hang-out sa bar. "I know a place where we could enjoy your victory, Carmi," she said in an excited voice.

"And you are very much welcome to come with us, Alex," ani Fredrick.

Tatanggi sana ako pero maagap na inakbayan ako ni Raymond. "C'mon, Alex. Don't sulk like a brat. Be a sport and celebrate with us."

Naningkit ang mga mata ko. Ano pa nga bang magagawa ko?


I WANTED to laugh hard. Masama bang maging masaya? Nakaligtas ako sa hudyong Fredrick na 'yon!

At kung hindi pa nga dumating si Carmi ay baka hindi ako tantanan. I lifted my brow when I saw them leave the bar. I shrugged my shoulder. Bahala sila kung saan sila pupunta. I can go home alone!.

The hell I care.

"You are so sexy and hot," the guy I am dancing with whispered in my ear. I smirked. I looked at him. He is good-looking.

And he is no other than the driver of the Pontiac that makes me lose my baby.

Sean Montejo.

I didn't know that Carmi invited him here. I smiled at him.

"I already know that," nakangising sabi ko na patuloy sa pagsasayaw sa maharot na tugtugin. I placed my hands behind his neck and move my body to his. I could feel his hard arousal. He even moved it closer to my being. Bahagya ko siyang naitulak.

Takang napatingin ito sa akin.

I lifted my brow. Tumigil na ako sa pagsasayaw.

"I have to go."

There is a sudden fire that glint behind his eyes. "Then I will take you anywhere you want to," he offered huskily. "Let's go to my place."

Nag isip ako saglit. Pagkuwa'y I smiled sweetly at him.

"I guess not. Kung hindi mo tinalo ang Camaro I might have to join you tonight in your bed, Montejo."

Napakunot ang noo nito. Tumalikod na ako. I have to find way to get home in one piece. Iyong walang lalaki na mag o-offer sa akin na dadalhin ako sa kama.

"Wait! Anong kinalaman ng Camaro sa pagsama mo sa akin?" he shouted.

Saglit akong natigilan bago nilingon ito.

"Simple lang. I lost because you won in that race, Montejo. And I just lose my Ferrari," I said sweetly bago tumalikod na dito at naglakad palayo.

I have to get home to Manila!

I have to get home to Manila!
