The next Saturday, I went to their TechReh to visit Japs, and Moe too.

"Good job, guys!" their director called.

"Hahaha. Nice!" Japs said and high-fived Moe.

"Patok nanaman to sigurado!" Elmo added while wiping off his face.

"Wrap na, right?" Elmo asked Julie. "Happy Lemon tayo!"

I was just there sitting, while they were standing, talking to each other.

"Ha? Eh, I need to go na eh. Kayo nalang muna ni Aya" Julie replied.

"Bakit?" I butted in.

"Sabi ni mama go home straight. Sumusunod lang" She said smiling.

"Hmm.. This girl has something on her mind" I thought.

"Oh, okay! Aya, tara ha! Bihis lang ako" Elmo faced me and smiled. After that, he headed to the dressing room at the backstage to change.

Julie gave me a grin.

"Sabi na eh!" I exclaimed.

"Bakit? Haha! " Julie cracked.

"Oh, tara?" Elmo arrived.

"Oh, pa'no. Una na ako ha." Julie said and hugged Moe.

"Bye Aya, enjoy!" Julie said teasingly.

I hugged her saying "Ikaw talagaaa!"

"Say hi to tita for me!"  then she left.

"Let's Go" Elmo said.

On our way outside the studio, we bumped in to Kris Martin and Joyce Ching.

"Omigosh, there's the ring!" I whisphered to myself. These two really look cute together.

"Hey pare!" Kris called.

"He-hey!" Elmo said and shaked hands with Kris. I smiled to Joyce.

"This is Aya, Julie's friend. Aya, Kris and Joyce." Elmo pointed.

"Hello" they both said. And I gave a little wave.

"San punta nyo?" Joyce asked.

"Si Julie?" Kris added.

"Ah, Happy Lemon lang, sama kayo? Umuwi na sya eh, kailangan daw"

"Ah, hindi na. Next time nalan. Sige."

"Okay, bye!" said Elmo

"Tara?" Elmo towards me. I nodded.

He opened the car door.

"After you?" He's such a gentleman.

This time, he sat beside me and not in the front seat.

"Donuts?" He offered.

"No thanks" I said. "Lagi ka yata may donuts ah" I added.

"In case magutom lang"  He explained.

"Ahh. Okay"  I smiled.

"Uhm, mag-na-nap lang ako ha"  He excused.

"Sure. Gisingin nalang kita 'pag andun na tayo"

He slept. I stared.

"Angelic"  I whisphered.

"Ikaw ma'am ha"  The driver said.

"Narinig mo, kuya?"  I anxiously asked.

"HAHAHAHA"

"Sshh! Kuya, secret lang yun ha!"  I told the driver.

"Oo naman!"

Silence covered the atmosphere.

"Oh, gisingin mo na yung anghel, malapit na tayo"

"hahaha" I giggled.

"Elmo" I said while trying to wake him up.

He's at the right side of the van, I am in the middle.

"Moe!" I yelled slightly.

"Pagod ata, ma'am"

Elmo dropped his phone from his right pocket.

I was looking at him, smiling. then I decided to pick up his phone when suddenly he moves.

"Oopss, sorry." We both said when we bumped each other.

"Uh, here." I gave him his phone. "You dropped your phone"

"Ang himbing ata ng tulog ko" He said.

"Oo nga, sir. Kanina ka pa ginigising ni ma'am eh." The driver butted in.

"Sorry" said Moe.

"It's okay, let's go?" I said.

When we entered the store, I went straight to a seat, I looked back and found Moe ordering at the counter. As I seat, I said to myself "alam nya na order ko" and blished.

I could see Moe's driver looking at me with a smile.

"Sshh" I signaled.

"Cocoa with rocksalt and cheese?" Elmo offered.

"Thanks! Alam mo na order ko ah" I said.

"Oh, wait! Treat mo na last time ah, tapos treat mo din ngayon?" I added.

"Okay lang yun. Bawi ka next time" He said.

"Next time? So may susunod pa 'to" I wondered.

"Oh, bakit ka nangingiti dyan?" Elmo asked.

"Ha? Wala wala" I immediately answered.

"Ikaw talaga soulmate oh!" And he laughed.

To myself I was, "Soulmate? He calls us soulmate!"

We were having so much fun sharing stories.

He stopped. "Oh, it's getting late, ihahatid na kita"

"Oo nga pala!" I lost track of the time.

"Papagalitan ka ba? Kakausapin ko nalang parents mo"

"No, it's okay" I said, smiling. We left.

On the way to my place, I rarely notced I fell asleep.

It wasn't a deep sleep so I felt Moe put a blanket over me.

"Ang ganda nya 'no, sir?" The driver said.

"Ang bait pa" Elmo added. They chuckled.

"Ikaw talaga manong!" Moe uttered.

He laid his back and took a nap.

I smiled for what I've heard. Probably every girls reactiong when they hear those from him.

Even before we stopped in front of my place, I woke up. Fixed myself.

*beep* the driver blowed the horn. Moe got up.

"Hey, thanks!" I told him.

"Salamat manong" I added.

Elmo opened the door and stepped out to give way.

"Thanks!" I gave him a kiss on the cheek. The I walked away.

"Goodnight, soulmate!" He said as I was walking away.

I didn't look back. I don't want him to see I was blushing, duh!

When I entered the house, I heard his car drove away. I peeped in to the window.
