Written In Reverse

Part 23

Bumalik na ang waiter with the menu. Maya maya ay dumating na din ang order namin.

I ordered steak and Jema ordered the seafood bucket. Malaki ang servings nila so we could easily share our meals.

Unconsciously, ginawa namin yung routine namin dati.

She started cutting the steak at pinaghimay ko sya ng crabs and shrimp. Mas na una ata syang naka realize kaya tumingin sya sakin.

"What?" tanong ko while still trying to pick at the crab to add it to the pile of meat that I already set aside for her.

"Uhm I think nagkapalit ata tayo ng order hehe" she said hesitantly.

"OH! RIGHT! Sorry sorry old habits." I impulsively slapped my forehead as I realized my blunder.

My hand still had crab sauce pala so natawa si Jema sakin.

Real smooth Deanna.

"It's fine. Ako na. Just stay still." she grabbed the napkin from me, held my chin up and started dabbing at the crab sauce on my forehead.

Potaaaaa!!! I could see her cleavage because she was wearing a plunging crop-top.

I couldn't look away.

"All done!"

I quickly shifted my gaze.

"Thanks. Sorry about that."

"Okay lang, ano ka ba. Old habits die hard nga diba."

"Cheers to that!" we clinked our wine glasses.

Habang kumakain kami, panay parin ang usapan namin.

"By the way, I know I don't have much right to ask but how's your dad?" tanong ni Jema.

"Okay lang. Let bygones be bygones. And he's doing really well. Almost fully recovered except hindi na sya pwede sa mga strenuous activities and syempre certain foods."

"Oh I'm really happy to hear that. I mean it Deanna. Sorry talaga dun sa nangyari."

"Hey wala na yun. Like I said, let's just bury the hatchet. I screwed up pretty well too." I mean it naman. We both had our fair share of mistakes. Di naman nya kasalanan lang lahat.

After dinner, we decided to head to the bar for a couple of drinks.

She excused herself to the restroom while I waited for our drinks to be prepped.

"Hey there cutie! You mind if I join you." One guy drunkenly said and sat on the chair beside me. Leaning in too close for comfort.

Dafuq.

"I DO mind actually." I calmly said. I don't wanna ruin a good night with Jema.

"Oh c'mon. Ba't ba ang pakipot nyong mga babae? When deep inside hayok na hayok naman kayo samin."

Ang yabang ng gagong to ah.

"And what makes you think I'm into guys? Let alone, generic douchebags like you?"

"Oh you will be into guys once I give you a taste of my big dick."

I was clenching my fists. I'm about to lose my shit on this asshat.
