Calling Elle Mendoza.....

Dialing......

Ringing......

Elle picked up.

"Hello Elle, where are you?" Sandro asked.


"At my cubicle po sir, why?" Elle asked back.


"Magbihis ka. May pupuntahan tayo."


"What? Why? Where are you pala?"


"Here at the HQ, reading the letters of the kids."


"Owwww, nakabalik ka na pala sir, this quick?"


"Yeah, about 30 minutes ago already."


"Wow! Ang sipag naman yata, trabaho agad?"


"Eh wala ehh, excited ako for the kids' letters." Sandro giggles. "Kaya sige na, make yourself ready. I'll call you again after 20 minutes. Bilisan mo ha?" he commands.


"Saan nga po tayo pupunta?"


"Basta, wag na maraming tanong. Bilisan mo na, bye admirer!"


"Pero sir..."


Right before she could finished talking, the call ended.


Elle eagerly went to her little wardrobe and find some clothes to wear. She chose a white floral puff sleeve and an ocean blue long skirt. It might be a perfect combination.


Fortunately, she already took a bath so she just need to fixed herself. Put on some lipstick and a face powder since she barely do her own make up.


She don't want to assume that it's a date but sort of. Elle was smiling at that little naughty idea on her mind because what if it's really a date, a Valentines date! But then, she slap her face as she noticed that she is preparing so much.


She look at herself on the mirror and starts talking like a fool, reminding herself to behave. "Hoy Elle, gising! Walang date, okay? Maybe yayayain ka lang niyang mamasyal kasi bored siya o kaya magtatrabaho kayo sa office overtime kasi...."


Someone knocked at her door while she is in the middle of her monologue in front of the mirror. She walk towards the door and open it. It was Sandro that she saw at her porch, wearing a white polo shirt and a wide smile.


"S..sir? Why are you here already, I thought you'll just call..."


He shrugged his shoulders. "Wala eh, gusto na kitang makita. Ang tagal mo naman." he pouted.


"Hala siya, excited? Hindi naman halatang ikaw talaga yung may crush sa akin ano." she giggled and realize where that words coming from again. It took her a lot more confidence to joke in front of Sandro.


"Okay you can say that." he give in. "Getting ready? Let's go na! I'm hungry." Sandro invited.


"Fine. I'll just get my bag."


They walk towards his car and Elle noticed that Manong Danny isn't around.


"Where's manong, sir?"


"On a date maybe with his wife?"


"So paano yan, tayo lang ang aalis? Ikaw po ang magda-drive? Di ako marunong ehh, honestly." she said.


"Ofcourse. Sino pa nga ba? Ako yung nagyaya eh." Then he open the right side door for her. "Come in, please."


"Hoy, this is so strange and awkward. Wag ka ngang ganyan sir nakakahiya..." saway ni Elle kay Sandro.
