A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other. Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late or maybe forever.

Jacob Teng was woken up at 6 am by the very loud ringing of his alarm clock.
He looked at it and sighed.
He wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep, considering it was a Sunday, but training and good work ethic stopped him from doing so.
All of the people involved in the new hotel acquisition of his Aunt Addy were going to meet for lunch at Sofitel.
Jacob rose from the bed and went out to get some coffee before taking a bath.
He dialed Ara's number on his mobile.
No answer.
She must still be asleep.
Daanan ko na Lang sa bahay nila, Jacob thought.
He went out of his room to the kitchen, knowing nobody was awake at this hour.
He got a scare when he saw Jaden, with his hair untidy and standing up, making some French toasts.
Jacob: pucha ginulat mo naman ako! I thought you were in Baguio? Kakatakot pala itsura mo pag walang make up!
Jaden: sorry ha! Kakagising ko Lang kasi! Hindi pa ako nakapag lipstick!
Jaden answered sarcastically.
He was cranky because he was tired from being awake for 24 hours, finishing his new movie.
Jaden: Shooting is finished. I have three months off from work. Endorsements na Lang for San Miguel, Ayala Land and BDO. So I have a lot of time in my hands in the coming months. I can finally get some sleep.
Jacob: wow! Big shot! Libre mo naman kambal mo!
Jaden: gago ka! Don't even pretend like you're broke! Your company with Ara earned 25 million from that government building you constructed. Isa pa lang yan! Tapos the mall deal with Megaworld is reportedly worth 120 million! Magkano cut mo dun?
Jacob laughed.
Jacob: where did you hear that? Dami mong alam!
Jaden: from a bird. Alam mo naman charm ko, I can make anyone talk. Even the most guarded and confidential secrets.
Jaden said with a wink.
He was a natural born charmer.
Jacob: yabang!
Jaden: it's not yabang! It's true! Capitalize on your strengths. Didn't they teach us that in school? If you just put your looks to good use! Sayang naman yung mukha natin na magkapareho!
Jacob: no thanks Jaden! I prefer the quiet life!
Jaden: tsk tsk tsk! Wala talagang sense of adventure! Boring!
Jacob: Kaya nga eh! I always say im boring! Anyway, I have to go! Dadaanan ko pa si Ara!
Jaden: okay. Di ko alam bat natatagalan ka ni Ara! Ano ba pinaguusapan niyo? Like how many steel bars and screws can build a building? Ano ba talaga kayo ni Ara? Gulo niyo!
Jacob: we talk about how awesome you are!
Jacob answered sarcastically.
Jacob: anong ano kami ni Ara?
Jaden: kayo ba? Parang sobra pa kayo sa mag asawa eh! Magkasama sa trabaho, magkasama pa din outside work! Mom and dad like her, her parents seem to adore you. Ano ba set up niyo?
