Living With The Game (Living Series #2)

Chapter 5

"Tara sa dance floor! Ang daming guys sa baba!" Zenia was pulling my arm, forcing me to go with them while holding a glass of beer on her other hand. Hindi ko alam kung lasing na ba 'to or it's just her normal state, minsan nakakalito talaga itong si Zenia eh.

"Tara na, Joanna!" Dagdag naman ni Patrice.

"Dali na, Jenny and Shane are already there. Hayaan mo si Claire maiwan dito," sabay-sabay kaming tumingin kay Claire, already making out with her boyfriend on the couch.

I rolled my eyes before letting myself being drag by Zenia.

Pagkababa palang namin may nakita na kaming nagkukumpulan sa gitna, nagsisigawan at nagpapaka-hype. And when I noticed, it's a dance battle. My eyes widened with amusement when I knew it was Ewald battling with a girl.

"I told you he's a dancer." Patrice whispered on my ear before dancing with the music.

I nodded while watching them. The girl literally dance a sexy step, I don't know how to call that genre but I could hear others are screaming. I was busy watching them when someone held my waist. I immediately push him when I realized who it is.

"Joanna, let's talk."

"What?–wait," He immediately held my wrist and drag me in the smoking area. "Anong bang problema mo?" Inis na usal ko nang bitawan niya ko.

"Let's go back together, Joanna." He reach for my hand and hold it with both of his hands.

"Ha? There was never an us, Gino."

Gusto kong matawa dahil sa pamilyar na linyang 'yon. Well, just stating the fact.

"Let me court you again, Joanna. Give me another chance, I promise to do anything." I could see how desperate he his while saying those words.

"I'm sorry, Gino but you disappoint me before. Just because of my brother? You left me? You got tired of me? Seriously? Hindi ba't ako," I pointed myself. "'Yung nililigawan mo at hindi ang Kuya ko?"

"Yeah, you're right." Binitawan nito ang kamay ko at bakas na ngayon ang inis sa mukha niya. "Because of your damn brother–"

"Don't," I pointed my index finger on him with so much anger, "call my brother like that, you dumbass!"

Agad nitong hinawakan ang magkabilang braso ko at tinulak sa railings, napakagat ako sa pang-ibaba kong labi nang maramdaman ang sakit na dulot no'n sa likod ko.

"Hey,"

Sabay kaming napatingin sa nagsalita at nanlaki ang mata ko nang makita si William, nakapatong ang dalawang braso sa railings habang may yosi sa daliri nito.

"W-william," I muttered and Gino immediately glanced at me.

"You know him?"

"Her boyfriend, why?"

Mas lalong nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi ni William. He finished his smoke before leaning on me.

"And why are you touching my girl?" He slightly pushed Gino's shoulder to let go of me. "Stay your filthy hands away from my girl's skin." He then held my waist and pulled me beside him. "And never treat a girl like that if you really want them to be your girl."

I saw how Gino clench his jaw while glaring at him when his friend suddenly showed up and drag him back inside the club. I cleared my throat before removing William's hand on my waist.

"A-ahm..." tumayo ako nang maayos at medyo dumistansya sa kaniya, I could smell the alcohol on him.

"Who's that guy?"
