But then Stephen didn't stop kissing me.
"Gross dude. Can you see that nerd doctor Strauss making out with that hot chick? Making out with that dimwit should be a crime ugh, I think I'll puke dude"
"Babe, who are they?" Niyakap ako ng mahigpit ni Stephen nang tumigil siya sa paghalik. Yung yakap na may pagdadamot na kasama.
"Scott, don't call my baby a hot chick if you don't want me to burn you right now."
Err what?
Did he stop kissing me just because of that hot chick thingy? Eh hot naman talaga ako, ano magagawa ko? My body was shaped by Reina so it's automatically perfect.
Coming from someone na tinatawag akong bola-bola. Pota!
"Dave look the doctor sees our presence now, do you—"
"Stop there, Halls.—"
"Hi gorgeous, Im David Scott." Naputol ang sinasabi ni Stephen nang ilahad sa akin ng isang matangkad na lalaki ang kamay niya para makipagkilala. He has a clean cut hair just like the other guy. Medyo malaki lang ang katawan ng tinatawag niyang Halls. David wasn't skinny but he wasn't bulky too.
"Look baby, you don't have to actually meet them." Tawag sa akin ni Stephen. Hinawakan niya ang pisngi ko at giniya sa direksyon niya. Binigyan niya ng halik ang ilong ko. "Scott and Halls, you may go. You've been useful."
"Whoa man, you son of a gun" Binaba na ni David ang kamay niya at tumango nalang sa akin. I tried so hard to smile at him but then Halls suddenly spoke.
"I can't believe I cancelled my meeting for this" Bulong niya sa sarili. Kaming tatlo ay napatingin sakaniya. I just noticed that he's in his polo and slacks. Kulang nalang ay ang corporate blazer at pak na pak na. His hair is perfectly done too.
"Did they—" I wonder if they prepared this.
"It's okay Halls, you're the CEO. You can cancel anytime besides I bet your staff's happy you cancelled it. They're resting, man."
"You think?"
Tumango si Stephen. Inalis na niya ang pagkakayakap sa akin at tumayo siya sa harap ko na parang tinatago ako sa mga kaibigan niya.
"Damn dude, Strauss had you wrapped on his fingers." Side comment ni David.
"Shut up Dave." Parehong binigyan siya ng tingin ng dalawa.
"What? I'm not busy? I moved my flight back home for this." Dave was in his comfy clothes. Simpleng Birkenstocks na sapin sa paa at simpleng tee. "First day of my vacation and I spent it on you dicks."
"I really appreciate you there Scott—"
"Don't. Please, don't. I'm a psychiatrist too. I know what you're doing, shithead"
"Uhm—"
"Where's Walters?" Tanong ni Strauss, este Stephen.
"Oh, I had to wake the poor man up from his day-off. You know when it's his day-off, he only stays at home and watches youtube.." si Halls.
"Oh yeah that.. uhm.. magical hands something.." si Dave.
"Oh I just remember EMH" si Stephen.
EMH?
"Euterpe's Magic Hands?" Singit ko.
Medyo nagulat ako sa biglang pagpalakpak ni Halls nang marinig ako. "Yes, yes. That's it."
"Wow, what a world" I never thought that she resonates even here. Big shot talaga ang babaitang 'yon.
"So uhm, should we call this a night for both of you?" pagtataboy ni Stephen.
