Neve: Lorenzo? May tanong sana ako. For work lang. Sa tingin mo? Bakit nagloloko ang mga lalaki?
Lorenzo: Sex
Neve: 😨
Lorenzo: Haha You asked
Neve: Seryosong sagot kasi.
Lorenzo: I'm serious though
Neve: Gano'n? 🤔 Bakit sa tingin mo papayag ang babae makipag-no-strings-attached kung gano'n?
Lorenzo: Don't know Can be many reasons. Can be no reason at all
Neve: Ikaw? Sa tingin mo?
Lorenzo: Sex haha
Neve: Hays 😓
Lorenzo: Haha it's true
Neve: Bakit 'yan? 😅
Lorenzo: It feels good, that's why All physical. No emotions and responsibilities attached
Neve: Talaga ba? Hays. Paano ko ba maiintindihan yung character kong querida nito 😨😰😥 Ang hirap isulat nang detalyado kung hindi ko naiintindihan nang buo yung pagkatao. Bakit kasi rom-com daw pero dapat mahilig sa pagiging querida yung bida? 🥹
Lorenzo: Neve, you gotta slow down You're giving me the wrong idea here You're not asking me to help you understand what sex is, yeah? Cause if you are I'm willing lol

Lorenzo: Haha my bad Please be clear to me I'm drunk And I might not refuse you
Neve: 'Di ako ganong klaseng babae, Lorenzo. Ano ba 'yan. Tsk tsk.
Lorenzo: I know. Part of your thrill I guess For your question There's another reason Love She fell for a married man But that's bullshit lol Who'd fall for a married man?
Neve: Mali nga 'yon 🥲
Lorenzo: My mom that's who Say that to my mom lol
Neve: Huh?
Lorenzo: So, you need perspective on being a kept woman?
Neve: Sana. Para sa work.
Lorenzo: I know a lot of those women. Hang out with me and you'll see how nasty the reality is
Neve: Gagawin mo 'kong kabit mo???
Lorenzo: What Haha no When did I say that
Neve: Sabi mo hang out with you kasi 😅
Lorenzo: Where are you going with that pretty little head, babe You won't even say yes to that even if I offer you a proposition
Neve: Kaya nga 😕
Lorenzo: I meant come out and see me I'll show you the world of the nasty and greedy
Neve: 😅 'Di na siguro. Lasing ka rin at baka dapat 'di na kita ginugulo muna. Hanap na lang ako ng ibang paraan.
Lorenzo: My smart girl
Neve: 'Yan na naman po siya 😬 Saka anong oras na, umiinom ka pa. 'Wag ka na masyado uminom ha. Magpahinga na rin kagad at sigurado may pasok ka pa bukas.
1:12 AM
Lorenzo: You're unbelievable How can you even care for someone you've never met like that?
Neve: Gano'n naman kasi dapat, 'di ba. Dapat lagi tayong may malasakit sa isa't isa, kahit hindi tayo totoong magkakakilala.
