[b]* 8[/b] I didn�t know how to react. She�s still as amazing as ever. Napailing ako, then I wore my seatbelt and sped away. The feelings.. After I�ve not seen her for a long time. They�re bugging me again. [b]DETTE�s POV:[/b] I saw Topher�s car. Ayun, sakto, may sundo ako. Pero nung papunta na ako, he sped away. Naningkit ang mga mata ko. ANU YUN? I kicked the empty can of softdrink. �Badtrip naman!� I heard a chuckle behind me. Si Boss Algin nanaman. I tried to refrain myself to be impolite, kaya nginitian ko lang siya, tapos naglakad palayo. �Badtrip naman, mag cocommute pa tuloy ako. Tsk. Pag nakaipon talaga ko bibili rin ako ng sasakyan. TSK.� I told myself. �Sabay ka na sakin.� Natigilan ako, Sir Algin was behind me. Sinusundan pala ako. �No thanks, Sir. Malayo pa ang bahay ko.� Besides, it�s inappropriate to go and hang out with a guy while I�m married. �It�s okay, I insist.� Napakamot ako ng ulo. �Ang kulit mo Sir. Wag na. Nakakahiya, tsaka baka kung ano pang isipin ng ibang tao. You don�t like that, do you?� At that point, quit already. I started walking away, pero sumusunod pa rin. �Acutally, I�ll like it.� I gave him a tired look. �Look, wag na. Ibang babae na lang ang kulitin mo. Hindi ako pwede.� �I just want to be friends.� I gave him a smile then I walked towards him. �Alright. We�re friends.� I told him. �So, FRIEND, hindi mo na ako kailangang ihatid FRIEND ha? Maybe next, next, next time.� Ngumiti rin siya. �Got it. Next, next, next time.� Napailing ako. This guy is getting on my nerves! -- I reached home. Nakasimangot pa rin ako. I opened the door. �TOPHHHHEEERRRR!� But there was no response. He�s not yet home? Aba, okay ah. I looked at the clock, it�s past 11. I changed my clothes and went down to watch TV. I�ll be waiting for him. Tagal naman ata niya umuwi. An hour passed, inaantok na ako. It�s 12 am. I decided to call his phone. Walang sumasagot. Sang planeta kaya yun nagpunta? I�m getting worried. Anu ba �to. I�m getting dizzy. -- My eyes opened up. Si Topher kagad ang pumasok sa utak ko. I rushed upstairs and opened his room�s door. He�s still not here. I�m getting more worried. I�m late for work, sh*t. Second day pa lang, nalate kagad ako. Forget it. I walked out of the house, and there, found his car. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag. Tumakbo ako papunta run and I opened his door, diretso, he fell over me. Damn, amoy alak! Napahiga kaming dalawa, inalog alog ko siya. �Gising! Topher! Ano ba?� �Asdadjkf.� �TOPHER!� I screamed. Nakakahiya pag may nakakita saming ganito nuh. Two kids passed by, parang nagulat silang dalawa. �Uy bakit sa kalye sila nag gaganyan?� ERRRR! I pushed him hard, tapos nauntog siya. �ANO BA?! HINDI KA BA GIGISING?!� Unti unti siyang namulat tapos napaupo na rin, sapo ang noo. �A-Ang sakit ng ulo ko..� -- I pushed him to the couch and namewang sa harapan niya. �Anong problema mo at naglasing ka ng ganyan?! HA?!� �W-Wag na.. Pwede? Masakit ang ulo ko.� �Hindi mo ba alam na nag aantay ako sayo? Ano ka ba! You made me worried.� �Hindi ka na dapat nag antay.� He stood up and started walking, nakakaasar. I pulled him back. �Ano ba kasing nangyari? Sabihin mo na sakin, baka may matulong ako�� �Wala! Wag ka nang makulit! Stop acting like you care at all!� He yelled at me, I was offended. Napayuko na lang ako and I let him go. �S-Sorry.� Yun na lang nasabi ko, he was like surprised but he was not able to take back what he just said. He just left me and went upstairs. -- �Kakaumpisa mo pa lang ah.� Abbie mumbled as she saw me rushing to my cubicle. Ngumiti na lang ako, kaso pilit. Wala akong panahon e. �Uy anung nangyari sayo? Two hours kang late. Dapat di ka na pumasok.� Angel told me. I just fixed my stuffs. �May nangyari lang sa bahay.� I muttered. �Hinahanap ka ni Boss kanina pa.� �Bakit daw?� �He�s checking on you. UYYYYY.� Napailing ako. �Ms. Evangelista!� Napatayo ako, si Abbie. �Tawag ka ni Sir sa office.� She told me na parang nangangasim yung mukha. Tumayo ako, tsk. I�m expecting a sermon, kung mabait pa rin siya sakin ngayon, jusko. Iba na �to. I knocked on his door as soon as I reached the front of his office. �Come in.� Pumasok naman ako and I walked towards him. �Anong problema?� He asked. �Wala Sir, but I�m sorry for being late for my second day. I promise not to do it again.� Humagikgik siya, na ikinagulat ko. �You sound like a child.� Nakakadepress naming kausap ko. Hindi matino. �Well, I apologize for that, Sir.� �Do you want to make it up to me?� �HUH? I guess ang pagkakaltas sa sweldo ng pagiging late is already enough for that?� Ngumiti siya. �Don�t worry about the salary, it will still be the same. Just come with me after work.� I gave a loud sigh and I looked at him. �Look, Sir. I�m here for work and � No offense Sir, pero hindi imaging source ng kahit ano mang entertainment or the likes.� Pero talaga naman, bato ata itong lalaking ito. �I�m not using you for any purpose like you�re saying, I just want to be friends.� �Haven�t I told you we�re friends?� Ngumiti lang siya. �Basta, come with me okay?� �Pwede namang iba na lang dib a? Andyan naman si Angel o kaya si Abbie. Oo tama, matagal na sila dito. Sila na lang.� �E gusto ko ikaw e, ano magagawa mo?� Then I felt goosebumps. Ewan ko ba. �WHATEVER.� What�s wrong with this guy ba kasi? Gusto niya ako? CHARRRRR. Asa pa ako. [i]I wonder what the other guy�s doing. [/i] HAIST.
