After I finished the revised contract of our fuck-buddy thingy, dinala ko kaagad 'yon sa kan'ya noong gabi. Maybe I'm really delusional to think that something will immediately happen between us again but, no. He just carefully read the terms and conditions and signed it—and called it a fucking day!

"My driver will drive you to your place. Kailangan kong tapusin yung presentation. I'll leave at 4 o'clock in the morning, okay? See you in a week. Be prepared."

After he said that, he just winked and planted a kiss on my lips, then went back to work.

Damn, this workaholic fuck buddy I pulled is making me slightly frustrated—slightly lang.

***

Kinabukasan, kalat nga ang usapan sa company na umalis nga ang boss namin to pull some investors para sa panibagong project. Walang sinabi sa akin si Hunter kung gaano siya katagal doon pero bali-balita na aabutin siya ng two weeks to one month.

Wow . . . he's going to make me wait that long? After making me agreed to what he wants, ganito siya katagal mawawala? Paano naman ako?!

"I'm pretty sure, in those weeks that he's pulling some investors, he's also pulling some girls under his sheets. After all, women in Los Angeles are really—you know?" Queenie said and shrugged like we already knew what she's talking about.

"Sabihin mo na lang na liberated. Nahiya ka pa," singit ko habang nagtitipa sa keyboard.

Tumawa siya. "Baka kasi ma-offend ka as one of them."

Tiningnan ko siya nang masama. "'Tang ina mo."

Naghagalpakan ng tawa ang mga officemate namin nang dahil do'n. Nakitawa na lang din ako kahit na ang totoo ay medyo naapektuhan ako sa sinabi ni Queenie.

Medyo lang naman.

Kasi, it's part of our agreement—not to fuck anyone else! Malaman ko lang na nakipag-sex siya sa mga foreigner na 'yon, hindi pa man kami nagsisimula dito sa pinagkasunduan namin, tatapusin ko na kaagad!

Nang makauwi ako sa condo, wala akong ibang ginawa kung hindi ang mamili sa online shop ng mga damit. I have nothing else to do. Leo's not allowed to come inside my unit anymore since it's part of the agreement—at hindi niya alam 'yon.

Baka magalit kapag hindi ko na siya pinapunta dito. Hindi ko pa nga rin sinasabi sa kan'ya na binago ko na ang passcode ng unit ko kaya kahit na pumayag akong pumasok siya, hindi na niya magagawa 'yon. His keys are also not going to work anymore dahil nagpalit na ako ng door knob—ayon din sa kautusan ng aking fuck buddy na si Hunter.

I rolled my eyes and sighed as I paid for whatever I ordered online. Ilang sandali lang din, lumabas ang pangalan ni Hunter sa screen ng phone ko. Napaupo ako mula sa pagkakahiga at inayos ang itsura bago sinagot ang video call niya.

"Hey," he said.

I raised my eyebrows. "What do you need?"

He laughed. "Sungit. It's been three days since we last saw each other. 'Yan ang itatanong mo sa akin?"
