Battle of the Players

Lizzie's POV

Pagkagaling ko sa opisina ni Architect Salas, tumambay muna ako sa Starbucks. Naghahanap ng pwedeng landiin. Wala naman akong ibang makita dito maliban sa dalawang matandang lalaki, isang bading na may katextmate at isang babaeng kanina pa tingin ng tingin sa akin.

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay kaya nag iwas siya ng tingin.

"Sooo boring,.." I said, as i tap my fingers on the table. "Makaalis na nga lang dito," Kinuha ko yung frappe sa table. I flipped my hair and walk towards the girl. Naupo ako sa tapat niya saka ako umusod ng bahagya, her face almost an inch away from mine.

"Hey honey, do you like me?" Sabi ko sabay hila ng bahagya sa kwelyo ng blouse niya.

"E-excuse me?!" Tumaas yung kilay niya kasabay ng pagtaas ng pitch ng boses niya.

I smirked, A girl should do what she needs to do to have fun.

"You know honey, I saw you from there." Tinuro ko pa yung table na pinanggalingan ko. "You're looking at me like you wanted to eat me." I licked my lips, her eyes following the movement of my tounge and she swallowed hard.

"Do you like me? Because i do like you." I bit my lower lip, napalunok naman siya.

Don't get me wrong, i love men. And my actions doesn't mean I'm interested in woman too. I'm just.. playing.

Tumayo ako at hinalikan siya sa gilid ng labi niya. And to my surprise, she didn't move, didn't even flinch. She's not even startled with my actions.

"Oohh, lesbian action," I heard someone behind me.

"Hey girls, mind if i join you?"

Napalingon kami pareho sa lalaking nagsalita sa likuran ko. He's tall, dark and handsome. He have a strong jaw, pointed nose, sparkling eyes -the kind i wanted to remove and use as my lampshade-, thick red lips. And infairness, his skin is fairer than mine.

And don't get me started about his physique. You know my weakness and he's exactly what i wanted. Every inch of him shouts masculinity.

Forget Architect Salas, this one is a Greek God reincarnated.

"Enjoying the view, Mi amore?" He said smirking.

"Excuse me?"

"I was asking if you're enjoying the view or should i remove my shirt for full viewing experience." He said, his eyes glints mischievously. "Although its pretty obvious that you are already. I won't mind removing everything for my ladies pleasure."

The nerve of this guy! I am enjoying the view but never in my wildest dreams I'd admit it to him.

"That's a lot of self confidence you got there, bud." I raised my eyebrow. "Can you just leave me and my girl alone?"

"Why don't you ask your girl if she wanted me to leave you alone." I gritted my teeth in anger. The asshole is testing my temper.

"Uhh, I'm not her girl but I'm open to a possibility of engaging in this threesome." Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi nung babae. Wait, i don't even know her name. I don't have plans of knowing it, i don't want to go out with her and i don't effin want a threesome!

And this girl doesn't look like she's old enough to be thinking about doing it for God's sake!

"Cool, now its settled. Your place or mine?" He asked, looking at me like I'm the alpha female.

And damn right, I am.

"No thanks, if you want her, she's all yours. I don't share," Inis na inis akong naglakad palayo.

I heard the girl calling my name but i refuse to look at them. I don't share alright, and i don't mean sharing her, i mean sharing him.

I wanted that asshole all for myself .

"Hey Lesbian!" Huminto ako sa paglalakad. I look around and i saw the people inside looking at me. Oh bakit, ngayon lang kayo nakakita ng magandang babaeng tinawag na tibo?

"What is it, a-hole?!" Kunot noo siyang naglakad palapit sa akin. I smell a whiff of his perfume.

'God so manly.'

"Brad is my name. You know, i enjoy this camaraderie. If you're still interested, just call me." He put his calling card inside my still unbuttoned blouse, lightly touching my breast. I gasped, he smiled.

"Thanks for the offer, Brad. But it's still a no." Tinanggal ko yung calling card sa dibdib ko and the i slid it deep down on his pocket. Sinadya ko ring madampi ng kamay ko yung junjun niya, causing him to take a deep breath too.

"Oopps. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I flipped my hair and stormed out. Nawalan na ako ng gana kaya bumalik na ako sa office. Saktong kakatok ako sa opisina ng boss ko nung biglang lumabas si Yngrid.

Yes, my bestfriend. The one and only. Ang patron saint ng mga babaeng tanga sa pag-ibig.

She looks so awful. Gulong-gulo yung always perfect hair niya, hawak niya lang din yung coat niya habang nakayuko. I looked at her. This is not my bestfriend, I don't even know who she is anymore.

Nag angat siya ng mukha at pilit akong nginitian.

"Hi Lizzy. San ka na naman inutusan ng boss mo?"

"Don't worry about where he asked to stay para lang masolo n'yo itong buong floor." I took a deep breath, namumula na naman ang pisngi niya. "Ikaw, ano na namang pinagawa sayo ng boss KO." I said, emphasizing the KO because that's my boss, not hers. I'm supposed to be the one doing what needs to be done, not her.

Pero hindi ko papatulan si Louie ah. Being a mistress is not a part of my bucket list. Napakadaming lalaki sa mundo para makiagaw ako.

"Paper works." She said shyly. Talagang may gana pa siyang umaktong mahiyain. Sabunutan ko kaya ito, nang matauhan.

"Paper works. Bakit namumula tuhod mo?" Nagkatingingan na lang kaming dalawa. "You smell like s*x, and it looks like an ahole f****d you-- oh wait, an ahole actually did." Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. I wanted her to talk to me, to open up whatever the hell happened inside while i was away pero malabong mangyari yon kaya niyaya ko na lang siyang magayos sa restroom.

"May wipes ka Liz? I wanted to take a bath. Nanlalagkit ako."

Napasimangot na lang ako. Kadiri talaga.

*****

"Ewan ko ba naman kase kung anong pumasok diyan sa kukote mo, Yngrid at pumayag diyan sa set up niyo ni Louie. Maganda ka naman. Mayaman at matalino pero bakit parang kahit sa pinsan mong si Maria Clara, hindi papasa yang outfittan mo!"

Maganda si Yngrid. I admit mas maganda at mas sexy siya sa akin. Tanga lang talaga pagdating kay Louie.

"Kase nga, eto ang gusto ni Louie. Para daw walang ibang magkagusto sa akin. Sinusunod ko nalang kase--"

"Kase mahal mo. Kaya kahit napaka-selfish niya by not giving you the chance to be your 'w***e' self and a chance to find someone who's gonna take you for you, e okay lang sayo. Yngrid, nakakaumay na, you dont deserve this. He doesn't deserve you. May asawa na yung tao."

"Are we really going to talk about this? You know, no matter what you say, at the end of the day, mahal ko pa rin siya. I know you won't understand me."

"I'll never understand you and i don't have plans to. Love and Lizzie doesn't go well together."

Iniwan ko na siya do'n. Hindi ko talaga masikmura ang kamartiran niya. Ang sarap patayuan ng momumento sa totoo lang. Kaya ayaw ko makipag relasyon e. Hindi kaya ng utak at puso ko ang mga ganyan.

I don't believe them when they said that love will bring you so much joy and happiness, that it'll add color to your life and that you'll always have positive outlook in life because in reality, love hurts.

Natapos yung meeting ng wala akong naintindihan. Okay lang naman. Kaya na ni Sir Louie yon. Matanda na siya, bahala na siya sa buhay niya.

Kung tutuusin, hindi ko naman kailangang magtrabaho, may dad own several hotels, restaurants and other businesses in Cebu. But i need to be Yngrid's guardian angel.

"Yngrid bar tayo mamaya and please get rid of that stupid outfit. I wanna see the real you. The real Yngrid, not Miss Tapia colorized." Pang aasar ko sa kanya. Believe me, she looks exactly like Miss Tapia from Iskul Bukol- My dad used to watch it.

"Shut up!" Sabi niya sabay hampas sakin.

"Basta ha. Dadaanan kita sa unit natin na unit mo na lang ngayon ha!"

Naasa ibang floor yung unit ko. We used to share a unit, heck, we used to sleep in one room kahit 2 bedroom unit yung condo. That's how thick we we're. Pareho naman kase kaming walang kapatid na babae. May dalawang kuya si Yngid habang mag isa lang ako. I missed sleeping with her, kaso lang hindi ko na masikmura yung mga ginagawa ni Louie sa condo. Imagine having s*x in the kitchen at 3 in the morning! Goodness, parang mga rabbit e.

I wore my usual attire. Seductive and slutty.

"Yngrid you ready?" Tinawagan ko siya habang papunta na ako sa unit niya.

/Yeah. where are you?/ Tanong niya.

"On my way." Hindi ko na pinatay yung phone and i pushed her doorbell.

And voila, standing in front of me is the real Yngrid, not the impostor.

"Oh my god, Diosa! Welcome back!" Okay, i think I'm starting to be a lesbian. I'm not sure but this is not how normal girls reacts. Like i wanted to kiss her and grope her. But ofcourse, she doesn't need to know.

"Ganito naman ako pag wala sa office diba?"

"No girlfriend, its been a while since I last saw you use super dark red lipstick! Eto na ba 'yon? Divine intervention? Nabagok ba ang ulo mo at nakalimutan mo na si Louie at handa ka nang i-embrace ang path to whoriness?"

"b***h, si Louie pa rin sa 2018." napasimangot na lang ako sa sinabi niya. Akala ko pa naman magbabagong buhay na talaga siya.

Nkarating kami ng pyramid ng wala sa oras. This is my baby, Yngrid and I own this. Mas madalas akong magpunta dito ng mag isa dahil hindi naman mahilig si Yngrid sa mga bar. It's a good thing napapayag ko siyang sumama.

"Good evening Maam Y, Good evening Miss L." Bati samin nung bouncer sa front door, bypassing the long line of people outside.

"Good evening kuya." Sabi ko sabay wink. Again, you can't blame me. That's my weakness.

Tinignan ako ni Yngrid ng masama.

"What?"

"Malandi ka pa rin."

"Alam ko." Natatawang sabi ko, matagal na akong malandi. Hindi ko pa nakakalimutan 'yon. "I need to get laid tonight Yngrid. It's been so long." Ipinatong ko yung ulo ko sa balikat niya habang naglalakad kami papasok.

"How long is that long?" Natatawang tanong niya.

"I don't know. How long since Louie and you--" Napatigil siya sa paglalakad kaya huminto din ako.

"You mean?"

"I mean i had an elevator s*x with Architect Salas." Nakangiting sabi ko.

Nanlaki ang mga mata niya sa sinabi ko. "S-slut!"

Ay wow. Hiyang-hiya naman ako sa pagiging matinong babae niya.

"Look whose talking, eh?" Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero nasaktan ako sa sinabi niya kaya iniwanan ko siya.

sumunod siya sa akin sa may bar counter. there goes my favorite bar tender.

"miss Y, cocktail juice ulit." She nodded and smiled at him.

"no Johnny. give her bloody mary." kinalabit niya ako. "what? walang pasok tomorrow Yngrid ha! so don't give me that look!"

ini slide ni Johnny yung bloody mary papunta sa kanya while I

took a sip of my martini.

"aren't you gonna drink that or i'll force you to drink that?" tinitignan niya lang kase yung baso. tuwang tuwa ako nung tinikman niya yung bloody mary pero I want more.

"bottoms up Y!" naghesitate pa siya. "im waiting.."

tinanggal niya yung straw nung bloody Mary ininom.

"Lizzie nahihilo na ako." sabi niya. mahina ang alcohol tolerance niyan eh.

"okay lang yan. I'll get laid. you'll get laid para fair. and you should forget about my selfish bastard boss." tawa na kami ng tawa ni Yngrid. mukhang may tama na siya pero keri lang. plano ko naman talagang lasingin siya.

next na inabot samin ni Johnny the bar tender yung Rhum. next is Tequila then Vodka, martini and whiskey. langong lango na si Yngrid. pumayag na ngang makipag french kiss sa akin eh. hahaha

after nun nagyaya akong sumayaw. pampawala ng hilo.

we started swaying sexily. grinding, kissing and touching each other. ang init. init. init

tumalikod si Yngrid sa akin. and ohh! yummy!

"hi handsome." nakakalusaw ng panty yung kagwapuhan nung lalaking nasa harapan niya.

"hi gorgeous. mind if I join you?" sabi niya.

"sure. we don't mind. right rid?" tumango tango lang siyang sagot.

napangisi ako nung nag umpisang mag make out yung dalawa sa harapan ko. making out with a stranger? hmm.. why not diba?

umalis siya nung ginambala ko sila. haha! kakatawa talqga yung reaction ni Yngrid. pulang pula na yung mukha niya.

babalik sana ako sa may bar counter. lalandiin si Johnny nung biglang may humila sa bewang ko.

"hey Leslie. missed me?" he licked my nape and grinned hie front on my back. napangisi ako. nice! tonight I'm getting laid.
