A Bad Girl's Weakness

Chapter Sixteen : Muse

03/14

"babe, yung laban sa sabado maglalaro ako kaso..." Nathan said.

"kaso ano?" I asked.

"...kaso kasi hindi ikaw yung muse" he said. I felt sad.

"bakit hindi na ako?" I asked.

"babe, may bali ka kasi sa paa, tapos ang gagawin mo pa doon maglalakad ka ng maglalakad, ayokong mahirapan ka kaya sabi ko kay coach maghanap na muna ng iba" Nathan said and held my hand.

"sayang naman, first time ko to e, saka hindi tayo magkasama sa mid year training" sabi ko saka sumangot.

"marami pang pagkakataon jan o, saka tatawagan naman kita araw araw pag nandoon na ako, ang importante sa ngayon ay yang kalagayan mo" he said concerned.

"kahit hindi ikaw yung muse ng team, ikaw naman yung muse sa puso ko, yie!" he teased. Alam ko namang pinapagaan niya lang ang pakiramdam ko kaya nagthank you nalang ako.

"iiwan ko dito yung jersey ko sa school, sayo na yon" he said.

"salamat!" I said then smiled excitedly.

"kuha mo ako water" I said.

"ayaw ko!" he said.

"dali na" I pleaded.

"ayaw ayaw ayaw" sabi niya habang umiiling iling pa.

"sabi ko—" he cut me off.

"malamig o hindi" he asked.

"hindi" I answered then smirked.

As promised, nandoon na si Nathan sa Pasay habang ako nandito parin sa Muntinlupa, hinihintay siyang bumalik. Kailangan nilang magtraining doon para masanay sila sa paligid. Magbabasket ball lang kasi dadayo pa, fcking coach!

I received a call from Nathan, as usual, simula nung pumunta siya sa Pasay last week hindi niya ang nakakalimutang tawagan kahit na sobrang pagod na siya.

[hi babe!]

"pagod ka ata e" I said.

[hindi a, nawawala pagod ko sayo no! malungkot lang siguro]

"bakit naman?" I asked.

[malungkot ako kasi wala ka dito]

"nanjan naman sina Joshua diba?" I asked.

[e, hindi naman sila ikaw]

"oo na, kinikilig na ako" I admitted. He laughed.

[kamusta ka na?]

"eto miss ka na, ikaw?" I said.

[pst! kinikilig ako! uh, ito kakatapos lang ng training, uuwi narin kami jan next week siguro]

"suggest ka nga ng design, hindi ako makapili, parehong cute, lavander o pastel pink?" I asked.

[pagdalawa yung nagugustuhan mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa, kasi kung gusto mo talaga yung nauna, hindi mahuhulog yung loob mo doon sa isa]

"ano?! hindi ko gets" I asked.

[haylabyu!]

"ambagal ng panahon pag wala ka" I said.

[sa totoo lang, kamusta studies mo?]

"okay lang naman, taas siguro ng grades mo sa physical" I joked.

[dapat lang! nilalayo nila ako sa girlfriend ko e]

"sus! sige na magpahinga ka na, ingat lagi, love you!" I said.

[mamaya naaaa]

"magpahinga ka naaa" I said.

[sige na nga, bukas ha, bukas!]

"of course" I said and laughed.

[matulog ka narin after]

"gagawa muna ako ng presentation" I said.

[puyat now, libing later HAHAHAHA choz]

May laban sina Nathan dito sa Sucat kasama sina Joshua, Ace at Xander. Kasama din namin sina Venice, Raven at Olivia para sumuporta. Nasa court na kami at hinihintay nalang ang kabilang koponan.

"penge ako nung balloon!" Venice yelled.

"ako din dali!" Raven said.

4th quarter na at lamang sina Nathan ng dalawang puntos pero naka 3 points ang kabila at 15 seconds nalang ang natitira. Pinasa ni Joshua ang bola kay Nathan. Nathan looked at me for a second before throwing the ball.

"three points for Alcantara!" the announcer said. I yelled as loud as I can and jumped on joy so as our friends, the crowd went wild.

The game has ended and they congratulated each other before going back to their seats.

Bumaba kami galing sa audience area papunta sa kung nasaan sina Nathan. Nakapagpalit na siya ng tshirt at nagpupunas ng buhok.

I ran up to him and hugged him. He chuckled and didn't hesitate to hug me back. He burried his face on my neck, he was really happy.

"congratulations babe!" I said excitedly saka bumitaw sa yakap.

"sabi ko sayo mananalo kami pagnanjan ka" he said confidently then winked. I laughed.

"edi from now on ipopromise ko laging magiging nasa tabi mo" I said and he smiled cutely.

"promise?" he raised his pinky.

"promise" I put my pinky on his pinky.

Tumingin siya sa baba saka yumuko. Akala ko kung anong gagawin niya kaya hinampas ko siya. Uminda siya at saka kinunot ang noo.

"hoy ano ba yan?!" I panicked.

"aray! tinatali ko sintas ng sapatos mo, ano ba akala mo?" he teased and laughed.

"nasaan na yung iba kong pony tail?" I asked him.

"eto sa bulsa, cool ka lang" he said and rose the side of his lip.

"master!" I heard Joshua's voice so I faced him. He signaled me to come near him and I took one last look to Nathan before finally walking towards Joshua.

Joshua was telling something to me but I'm not really listening because I saw a girl walked towards Nathan.

"hi!" sabi ng babaeng lumapit kay Nathan kaya napatingin ako sakanila, tinaasan siya ng parehong kilay ni Nathan.

"Crystal nga pala" the girl said at inabot ang kamay niya. Lumapit saakin si Nathan at agad akong nagkungwaring hindi sila pinanonood. Sinundan lang siya nung babae ng tingin habang hindi parin binababa ang kamay.

"nakikinig ka ba ha, sayang laway ko promise" Joshua said. I stuck out my tongue.

Tumabi saakin si Nathan at saka kinuha ang kamay ko para ilagay sa kamay nung babae. Kunot noo akong tumingin kay Nathan.

"nice to meet you daw sabi ng girlfriend ko" sabi niya sa babae at saka ako hinawakan sa bewang.

"ow okay, I thought you're single kasi e" the girl said.

"tara na, babe" Nathan said. I nodded and we both walked away.
