American Boy ✔️

Chapter Forty Eight

"We worked in a shoot."

"Oh shit--"

"Yeah, yeah. It's shit." mura ko.

Talagang ipinagdasal ko na sana 'di ko na siya ulet makatrabaho, at kung makakatrabaho ko man siya, 'di ko talaga siya kakausapin.

Bahala siya.

"Okay lang sana ako kung maayos yung babaeng yon, but... she's just... annoying?"

"Or because she made out with your one true love~"

"Well... siguro yun din pero... basta! Kaibigan ba kita?"

"I am your best friend, but c'mon... iniisip mo pa rin yun, 'di ba? Tulad nung araw na yun nung niyakap kita?" dagdag niya.

She's not wrong.

But no. I am trying to move on from that para 'di na 'ko magdrama sa tuwing naiisip ko yun kapag kasama ko si Alexander.

And besides, kapag naging kami na dapat nakamove on na 'ko.

But... we do still have to talk about why that happened.

It's still early in the morning, Genevieve is going to work late because she didn't have enough time to sleep last night kaya tinawagan daw siya ni Quinten na matulog muna o magpahingga bago siya pumasok.

What a good brother.

Wala akong trabaho ngayong araw.

Kaya napagisipan ko na siguro sasabayan ko na lang si Genevieve na kumain ng almusal, then she'll drive me to the nearest mall so I can stock up my groceries.

Parang gusto ko ring bumili ng bagong wallet, I have wallets but I want to just spoil myself after my hard work with the novel and my shoots.

Deserve ko rin 'to. I'll also eat somewhere a little bit expensive and delicious, gotta celebrate my own hard work and achievements, right?

We decided to eat breakfast in a Cafe that's owned by one of her family members.

'Di niya raw matandaan kung sino ba sa kanila, she's not really close to them except Aida.

I heard na may pamilya pa sila na Dixon ang apelyido pero laging kasama yung Diamante sa buong pangalan, ewan ko ba.

It's a pretty nice cafe pagpasok na'min sa loob.

Modern ang interior niya, medyo minimalistic din ang dating at may white board din kung saan may mga signatures ng mga kilalang celebrity na nakasulat.

Thankfully, the food is not expensive.

Well, siguro sa paningin ni Genevieve.

"Oooh, their eggs look good~" masayang sabi ni Genevieve habang binabasa yung menu.

"Yup, anong kakainin mo?" tanong ko.

"Eggs Benedict, Quinten said masarap daw 'to, I remember him eating this specific meal for a whole week, I need to try it."

Mukhang masarap din yung Eggs Benedict, pero feeling ko yung Avocado Egg Toast sandwich nila dito.

I actually like Avocado, I just don't want to eat it everyday.

Meron din silang Iced coffee dito, sayang nga lang at 'di 'to Starbucks, medyo feeling ko yung Iced Matcha latte right now, pero andito naman na rin kami, I'll just get an Iced Matcha latte.
