VESTER continues marching with a slouch back towards the parking. Behind him is a constant clearing of throat but he just shrugged it off. He didn't bother to look at the person who's been tailing him the whole time. He just stopped right in front of a silver BMW, Azkal, one of Joseph's most expensive possessions.

He sighs deeply, waiting for the other man to catch up to him. He heard him panting but then again, he ignored him for the nth time. "Hindi porket mas mahahaba ang mga binti mo ay may karapatan ka nang iwan-iwanan ako ng ganito!"

He slanted his head, brows crumpled. "Whatever!"

Joseph gasped, carrying one of his trolley. "Whatever talaga... aanhin mo naman 'yang long legs mo kung iiwanan lang din kita rito?"

"Sige, gawin mo!" Vester glared at him. "Baka nakakalimutan mong may kasalanan ka pa sa'kin."

The other man smiled sheepishly, feeling guilty about what he did. "Hoy, sorry na nga kasi. Mag-move on ka na. Hindi nakakapogi iyan."

"Try mo kayang makipagpalit ng posisyon sa akin." He raised his brow. "Ikaw nga itong hindi pa rin maka-move on sa ginawa ko, eh ang tagal-tagal na no'n!"

"Ang sungit mo. Alam mo, imbis na maging mabait ka sa'kin matapos mo akong i-blackmail para lang masundo ka rito, ang attitude mo pa. Hindi ba uso ang magpasalamat sa kabaitan ko?" Joseph folded his arms after settling his luggage into the trunk.

"Mabait ka pala? Hindi ako na-inform," Vester huffs flatly.

"Kita mo 'to? Ang sama talaga ng ugali. Buti nga at may nagkakagusto pa sa'yo." The stressed Joseph came into view. "Dali na, pasok na bago pa magbago ang isip ko at humarurot akong hindi ka kasama."

Vester shots glare at him. "Subukan mo, Muñoz. Lagot ka sa'kin."

The other shakes his head in disbelief. "Ano? Hindi pa ba ako lagot nito? I ditch my date just because of you—"

"So? Kasalanan ko?" Vester climbs into the car after the older one.

Joseph just sighed, putting on his seatbelt before opening his mouth. "Bakit mo ba ako inaaway? Akala ko ba okay na tayo? Ba't parang galit ka pa rin hanggang ngayon?"

Vester turns to him. "Hindi kita inaaway. Wala lang ako sa mood."

The older laughs, igniting the car. "Nice. Hindi pala? So, anong tawag mo rito?"

"Just shut up and drive!" Vester deadpanned.

"I am the boss here. Hindi mo ako pwedeng utos-utusan dahil lang sa gusto mo at wala ka ring karapatan dahil mas matanda ako sa'yo." Joseph kind of reminded him that, rolling his eyes while driving away from the parking.

"Talaga? Boss ka pala? Akala ko prankster. Take note rin, Sir na hindi lahat ng nakatatanda ay hindi na pwedeng bardahin... kagaya mo." Then Vester smirked at him.

"Aba naman..." Joseph gritted his teeth. "Alam mo ikaw, kanina ka pa talaga!"

Vester bites back a laugh. "Bakit? Sasapakin mo ako? Kaya mo? Ni hindi mo nga ako kayang saktan."

"Bardahan pala ang gusto mo?" The older clenched the steering wheel a little bit tighter than usual. "Alam mo, deserve mong hindi masundo ni Pavlo—"

"Huwag mo siyang isali rito!" Vester warned, "Leave my baby alone!"

This had made Joseph laugh with a filling of fluffy sarcasm. "Bakit? Kayo na ba? Parang inaangkin mo na siya niyan ah."

Vester looks away and he is silent for a second. "Watch me, Josh. Magiging akin siya. One day, magugulat ka na lang."
