Race Of A Lifetime (Epistolary) ✔️

16

Max:
Yesterday you had the neon something

And you're starting to like the pastels

Knowing you're only meeting me, I think you'll go with black?

Mika:
Nevermind

Max:
Mali??

In my defense, you always wear black shirt and cycling and the additional black jacket whenever we meet and I thought you'll go with the all black

I swear, I thought about it carefully

Mika:
Defensive

Tama ka nga, dami mong inexplain

Max:
Kala ko mali, hanep

Mika:
Can you stop over I have a question

Max:
Hindi na makakapaghintay, boss?

Mika:
Hindi na it's just a quixk question

04:43 PM

Max:
Okay, shoot

Mika:
Nagpapractice ka pa sa race?

Max:
I'm having a break. Do you still race?

Mika:
Hindi na

Max:
That's good

Mika:
Just wondering kung bakit ka biglang consistent na nagmemessage

I thought it's because you want a race with me again kasi sabi mo months ago you want a rematch with me na tayo lang

But then here you are

Max:
It's part of it not for the sake of competing but for the sake of racing with you. It's something personal.

Mika:
Why now?

We know each other for years na tapos ngayon ka gaganyan. You were even there when I was still exploring, more open with having someone in my life

Tapos nung ayaw ko na saka ka papasok ng ganyan

Max:
Because you don't reply, Mikayla.

Snob ka at cold. I'm not your type back then, even now pa nga rin eh but dati sobrang sungit mo sakin

Mika:
I can't remember you messaging me

Max:
Remember 18th birthday mo, I gave you a miniature Ferrari FFX-K? And you said I was only cool because of my gift

Mika:
WAIT WHAT

Max:
You said it's your favorite gift ever

Mika:
As a teen who loves car, Ferrari is really a good choice!

Nevermind that, you were that weird guy with glasses and lame polo shirts?

Max:
I changed my style

Mika:
You're that guy????

Max:
Isn't obvious?

Mika:
No you have tattoos now and
piercing and wtf

Why do you look like that now? What happened?

Max:
That was offensive

Mika:
Why change, I mean

Max:
Sabi mo I was lame and not cool lol

It's basically because you said that why I'm here now. The tattoo is a personal choice tho

Mika:
Insane

Max:
I was there in your exploring years. You had two boyfriend: the curly guy that drives really slow and the korean looking guy that looks like a mushroom

One 5 months and one 7 months

Mika:
It was actually 6 not 7

Max:
The point is, I was there hindi mo lang ako pinapansin.

Mika:
Kaya ka papansin ngayon

Max:
Yes

Mika:
Okay drive ka na uli

Max:
Yes boss

Mika:
You want a fact of the day?

Max:
Hell yea

Mika:
I still have your gift, still displayed in my room along with the greeting card.

I threw away every gift they gave but that

Max:
You throw gifts away?

Mika:
When I turned 19, I decluttered my things tapos I realized those were the gifts I received when I turned 18

Pakiramdam ko natapon ko lahat maliban lang sa regalo mo

Max:
Geez, thanks

Mika:
Yep, welcome
