Wicked Games

13th: No Pressure by Justin Bieber

This day has been so annoying, seriously. I don't know why but yes, I'm so irritated. Pryc has been bugging me the whole day about Luna. Damn, he really likes her. It's like; I've been in a maze the whole day. Playing hide and seek with Pryc and yet he still managed to corner me. Wtf is wrong with this guy.

Like, right now. I'm cleaning a wound kasi may guy na nag crash. Tapos he's here, still asking me about Luna.

"Dude, please. Give me her number." He pleaded.

I gave him a dagger look and bumalik sa ginagawa ko. Tiningnan ko yung patient. "Sir, tatahiin lang natin to ha. Medyo pumutok eh." I said. Malaki kasi ang hiwa dito sa may tuhod.

The guy nodded. So I proceed on what I'm doing.

"Nicos, c'mon. Sabi mo di mo naman type yun diba." Pryc being so pushy.

"Look, Pryc. I don't really care if you want to flirt or what. But please, make your own move and stop bugging a busy doctor like me. I'm working." I said not looking at him. I'm stitching the wound.

"I promise not to bother you again. Just give me her number. Please." He said.

I looked at him seriously and back to my work. Patapos na naman. I instructed the nurse on what to do tapos tumayo ako sa kinauupuan ko. I took off the hand cover and dropped it in the trashbag. I took my phone from my pocket and clicked my contacts to look for Luna's name.

When I found it, I showed him immediately. "Happy?"

He smiled to me widely. "Very." Then he copied her number. "Thanks dude!"

I nodded and he rushed out of the ER.

It's been a toxic day and I'm dead tired. I don't want someone bugging me because he's a lovesick fool. My day at work ended peacefully when Pryc stopped bugging me. I rested for a while on my car. I checked my watch and its 6pm. Ah, I want a detox right now.

I dialled Luna's number and it took three rings before she answered.

[What do you want? ] She answered and ang ingay ng background.

Where the fuck are you? So noisy. I said in a calm voice .

[ Nasa daan. Waiting for a jeep. ]

Are you crazy? Ugh, why am I even asking? Of course you're crazy. Pag masnatch yang phone mo. Tsk.

[Is that why you called? To tell me I'm crazy? ]

Where are you? Kunin kita. Punta tayo sa unit ko.

[ I can't go right now, Nicos. May gagawin ako. ]

How important is that?

[Very. Sige na. ]

Wait. Who are you with?

[No one.]

You're alone? Where's Erin?

[Pinauwi ko na. She's not feeling well. ]

I'll come with you nalang.

[No. ]

Yes. Ngayon lang to kaya wag kang umarte diyan. Where on earth are you?

[Katipunan. ]

Okay. Not too far. Be there in bit. And please, do me a favor to not get yourself into a trouble.
