Maybe This Time

Part 1

We live in a 2 floor apartment. We opted for a 2 room apartment since Lito my cousin and Glyssa's boyfriend visits us from time to time.
After I showered, I opened my laptop to do more readings. Before I read I opened the search engine. I typed "sandro marcos" on the search button.

"Youngest congressman, old money, millionare playboy".. i shook my head. This couldnt be. Smells like trouble.
I started reading until i dooze off.

It was a monday morning at the regional hospital, the usual monday schedule. Flag ceremony. We had a meeting with our co-doctors.  They talked about expanding the ICU, this was good news  for me since their ICU is very out dated.

Dr. Perez was talking the senior consultant discussing her plans
"Dr Martinez, you were the chief fellow at your training institution im sure you know about making a budget proposal, can you make one for us to show the provincial?"

"Yes i think i can, for when?" Dagdag trabaho nanaman. I answered while playing with my pen

"Next saturday iha"

"Okay" shit agad agad..

Nagmeet kami for lunch outside ni Glyssa ang maganda pag specialist ka hindi ka na ngduduty hindi tulad nung resident ka. Yun nga lang on call ka.

"Bakit naka-kunot yang noo mo?" tanung ni Glyssa habang umiinom ng kape

"Gagawa ako ng budegt proposal para sa ICU" i answered with a heavy sigh

"Magaling ka nman doon ee" sabi niya habang ngumunguya ng pagkain

" sa sturday na ayaw ko nang ngmamadali" nakaka frustrate talga

Kumain kami ng lunch at ngkanya kanya muna kami ng trabaho. Umiikot ako sa ICU at ngrounds kasama ang mga residente.

After rounds I decided to go home. Ayaw ko masyadong lumalabas dito pag walang kasama.
Hindi ako familiar sa places hindi pa naman ako good with directions.

Wala pa si Glyssa kasi clinic niya ngayon. Nakahanap pa siya ng private hospital na pag-clinic dto. Ano nman maclinic ko halos dying at grabe na mga sakit ang mga patiente ko.
Pass 7pm na nung dumating si Glyssa.

"Elissa sa labas na tayo kumain ayaw ko mgluto" masungit niyang sabi

Natawa ako sa kaibgan ko alam nman niya na sa amin dalawa siya lang ang marunong magluto.

Nagbihis na ako sa ng jeans and a nude silk sleeveless top and my black valentino pumps.
We went to this fancy restaurant with a bar. Ofcourse there has to be a bar. Border line alcoholic ata kami ni glyssa. We tried their salmon steak and cocktails we were seated at the bar. When suddenly this guy dressed in a blue dress shirt and black slacks, he looks decent tall, suddenly went to my side.

"Hi miss, you look new here, me and my friends are hitting it up in a yacht later, if you want to join"

I raised my brow and almost threw up
"Does that line actually work?. Sorry not interested" and i went back to eating

"Feisty i like that in a girl" and he grabbed my arm

"Excuse you" i stood up and looked at him. He was smirking and licking his lips

I was about to say something when a group of guys came.

"Common Mike the lady said no" he was in a black short sleeved polo shirt and designer jeans and hermes belt. I caught a glimpse of the guy i previously met before. Ugali ata talaga nila mamick up ng babae.

I called the attention of the waiter and asked for our bill.

"Common on sweetheart" he grabbed my arm again
