CHAPTER 14: GAME OVER

Daze POV

1 week since Black avoided me. I didn't know that she was there at that Bar when Daryl and I talked about her. All my plans were ruined but what's bugging my mind is the words she told me that night.

"I'M SO CLOSED OF BEFRIENDING YOU! NO! I ALREADY CONSIDERED YOU FRIEND! I EVEN STARTED TO ENJOY YOUR COMPANY AND SILLINESS! BUT THE FUCK, IT"S ALL PLANNED! FOR WHAT? TO GET UNDER MY PANTS! WOW! I COULDN'T BELIEVE YOU! NOW, YOUR GAME IS OVER! YOU ARE GAME OVER DAZE TEJADA! AND YOU WILL NEVER FUCKING WIN! " It kept repeating on my mind and her face when she said that stills in my head. I felt a sudden fang in my chest. I should be mad right now because my ego has been trampled on but I am more disgusted with myself because I know I hurt her. What an ass am I?

"Bro Let's go" Daryl has been asking me to hang out with him at some random bar but I'm not in the mood.

"I don't want to!" I answered and just kept on watching.

"Okay! If you don't want to, I'll just bring the bar here!" He said so I looked at him and saw him dialing someone on his phone.

"Babe, I'm gonna get dressed, Let's grab dinner together." The woman from the guest room said. She's wearing my t-shirt. Daryl immediately looked at the woman.

"What the hell? American flavor, huh?" He said sarcastically... I met her in the bar last night. We talked and one thing led to another.

"Tsk! Let's go to the bar! I'll just get dressed" I said and stood up

"You should stay if you have a visitor," Daryl said with his annoying smile so gritted my teeth and whispered shut up.

I went upstairs to get dressed. When I was done I went to the guest room to check up on her and found her fully dressed as she puts some makeup on.

"It seems you're done. I can't go dinner with you. think you should go" I told her

"What?" She asked as her eyebrows creased.

"You knew it's a one-night thing, right? no strings attached!" I said and smiled slightly as if I am sympathizing with her hurtful expression now.

"What the fuck? I gave you my virginity and then you're bailing out on me now?" She asked in disbelief.

"I never asked you, you offered it" I simply answered

"ASSHOLE!" She shouted at me and slapped me hard on the cheek. She ran out of my unit while crying. As I descended into the lobby, I saw Daryl's mischievous smile.

"One heck of a Virgin, I guess" He commented, I just smirked at him.

We got to the bar where we always hang out. There are quite a lot of people today.

We headed to the second floor and girls automatically flirt with us. I just let Daryl do his thing as I enjoyed my drinks while scanning the whole place to look for someone I could spend my night with until someone in the crowd caught my attention.

I did not hesitate to stand up and walked to her

"I'm right, it's her." For some reason, I got a little bit excited upon seeing her. I would have approached her already but she clung to the man's neck. I suddenly froze and watch them talk happily. In a short moment, the man hugs her.

I saw how Black smile. I never saw that smile when she's with me.

I shook my head in annoyance. Why am I so pressed? I asked myself.

The next thing that happened balled up my fist. The guy pulled Black for a kiss, but the shittest part is Black return the favor and kissed him back. I just turned around and went back to my seat. The woman with Daryl is gone, he's just sitting comfortably as he sips his beer with that stupid smirk on his face.

"I saw that!" He commented.

"Saw what?" I asked.

"Your expression when Black kissed someone." He teases which I ignored.

"Are you jealous?" He asked while playing with his eyebrow.

"Why should I be jealous?" I asked back.

"Weeeeee? You're jealous! It's obvious from the way you look" He teased again.

"As if I'd be jealous! There are a lot of women out there whom I can flirt with!" I defended

"There are a lot of women but, they are not Black" he whispered and that hit me deep.

"Oh shut up! You thought I didn't notice that you also like Black's best friend." I fired back. It's no fun if he kept teasing me so might as well tease him back. I thought he'll be defensive by what I said but he smiled even more.

"What's with the smile? Does that mean you are really crushing on her?" I asked again.

"Ahahaha! Didn't you realize what you said? You like Black, you just admitted it unconsciously" he said and laughed. I frowned and analyze what I said

"Oh shut up! You thought I didn't notice that you also like Black's best friend."

I just face-palmed. Daryl is like a woman when he's curious. If I hadn't known his past, I would have thought he was gay. We have already consumed enough alcohol so we decided to call it a night. I headed to the bathroom to piss.

When I came out, the other door opened just in time. We looked at each other when she's about to pass my way, She reverted her look as if she did not know me and so I chased her.

"Black!" I call her.

"I'm sorry? Do I know you?" she asked me as if she didn't know me.

"Black, I'm sor -----" I continued but she cut me off.

"Shhh! I remember you, You're a Jerk, right? I won't listen to your apologies. I will let conscience kill your pride." When she said that, she turned her back on me.

I can't read her facial expression. She's so cold. I could no longer react because it was the first time I had been ignored. I am usually the one who's being chased but Black felt like pulled a reverse card and made me do things I am not used to. I looked up and reflect. I already fell for her, am I? I questioned myself again.
