"MAY HINIHINTAY ka bang tawag? Kanina ka pa nakatitig diyan sa cellphone mo."
I swiftly put my phone back in my pocket.
I sighed.
"Oh, y-yeah... I'm waiting for my mom's call," I laughed nervously. Tia gave me a skeptical look, but she didn't push it further.
She just shrugged at me and continued feeding Evo with peeled apples.
Cash hasn't replied to my dinner invitation from him. Is he mad at me for rejecting him this morning? Mali ba na pinauwi ko siya kahit na gusto niyang kumain kami ng breakfast?
I'm getting frustrated because I don't know what's right and wrong anymore! He's all that I've been thinking about since this morning, and it's not fun! Pakiramdam ko sasabog na iyong utak ko for thinking about Cash too much.
My mind is like, "Cash, Cash, Cash." Ugh!
I felt my phone vibrate and I immediately checked who texted me. I bit my lower lip in disappointment when I saw that it wasn't Cash who texted me. I sighed.
It was a text from Curtis, and he was asking if I wanted to have a drink tonight with a few of his officemates. Tinignan ko muna kung may reply na ba si Cash, but there's still nothing and it's been a couple of hours already. I mean, it's still early pa naman. He's probably busy or whatever.
I typed a reply to Curtis that I'd take a raincheck and I wanted to rest tonight. He immediately replied, "OK'," but he still told me that they were going to Sapphire just in case I changed my mind.
I just played with Evo, so I can stop stressing about Cash. I need to get him off my mind because it's frustrating to think about him all day! I didn't sign up for this when I started "this thing" with him. I should probably take the advice that Tia gave me way back when. I should meet other people, so I won't get attached to him this much.
I can't wait to start working, so I'll get busy thinking about other things.
"Do you want to go to the mall?"
Tia chuckled, "Ngayon na?"
I nodded, "Yup. Now na," I said. Her forehead slightly creased, probably thinking why I suddenly wanted to go to the mall.
Hindi naman nag-reklamo si Tia at nagpalit naman sila agad ng damit ni Evo. Tuwang-tuwa si Evo dahil pupunta kami sa Mall. I still have enough money pa and Kuya Baker keeps on giving me allowance rin kahit hindi naman ako nanghihingi. Seriously, Kuya feels like my dad or something. He's so nice to me. I should probably stop teasing him na. And it's good that I'll be working na rin so I can earn money for myself.
I booked us a ride to get to the mall.
"Wow," Evo said in awe when I brought him to Toy's R Us. Mabilis na tumakbo si Evo sa aisle na puro laruan pang-bata. Tia smiled beside me while looking at Evo, who was very excited looking at different kinds of toys.
