CONTINUATION...

While Trevor and sam went to the parking lot, Trevor unlocked his car and held the passenger door open for her, the gesture a mix of politeness and nervousness.

They settled into the car, and Trevor started to drive, carefully maneuvering the vehicle through the city streets. The silence in the car was deafening, but neither of them seemed to know how to break it.

SAM POV..

"Saan ba tayo pupunta?" tanong ko. Tinignan lang Ako nito saglit atsaka sumagot.

"Are you hungry? We can go to the cafe nearby, I know you like coffee."

"Sige." Sabi ko dito at tumingin nalang sa labas Ng bintana at pinagmasdan Ang kapaligiran. Huminto kami sa kilalang coffee shop at lumabas na sa sasakyan. Nag hanap si Trevor ng aming pwesto, nang makaupo na kami may lumapit saming waitress at nag Tanong kung Anong order namen,

"Two black coffee without sugar. One is iced coffee and the other is hot, thanks!"trevor ordered.

napataas nalang Ako Ng kilay dahil di manlang niya Ako tinanong Muna no? Tsaka pano niya nalaman na gusto ko Ng black coffee na may yelo? Nang dumating na Ang aming order ay tuwang tuwa Ang ate mo girl. At tinikman ko na ito. Sheems heaven. Mas matapang pa saken tong kape eh.

"Tell me why you've been avoiding me for weeks." Biglang Tanong niya. Hindi ko alam kung ano isasagot ko. Ayoko din Sabihin Ang totoo na I've fall for him? Noo!

"Wala gusto ko lang, tsaka busy Ako" palusot ko

"Is that so? Is there no other reason? There's something I want to talk to you about sam." Medyo makulit tong tukmol na ito eh. Ano Naman kaya sasabihin niya medyo kinakabahan Naman Ako.

"At ano Naman Yun?" Tanong ko na medyo nag papalpitate na, hahah

"I know Sandra already told you about my feelings. But, I just want you to hear it in my own mouth, I like you sam. you got my interest since we've met. I don't know but i want to be closed to you always. When you leave my condo, I feel empty.." saglit na katahimikan ang namayani sa aming kapaligiran. At nag salita siya muli.
CAN I ... Court you?" Tinignan ko siya ng medyo matagal baka nangtitrip lang ang gagsti sabay iwas ko ng tingin dahil kinikilig na ko. i guess he feels tention between us.

"SSSHHH! ingay mo. Amakana. Pag iisipan ko." Yun lang Ang nasabi ko dahil speechless Ang ate mo. Pakiramdam ko tuloy napakaganda ko hahaha.

"Anyway I already received Ace's wedding invitation, did you receive yours?" Trevor said while changing the topic

" Di ko pa Ako nag check ng mga mails ko.. let's go? I need rest, maaga pa ko bukas. " Pag aaya ko dahil parang hinahalukay Yung tyan ko. Eto ba Yung sinasabi nilang parang may butterfly? Baka lumipad Naman Ako nito.

NORMAL POV.

Let's head back then, im pretty tired myself. " he open's the door and motion for her to exit first. as she walks past him, he can't help but notice the way her hair cascade her neck.

when they got into car, trevor drove and took sam to her place

"I guess this is where we apart ways for now" he says relucantly. "Can i ask you something before you go inside?"

Ano yun?" sam ask him nervously

Trebor takes a deep breath, preparing himself for what he's about to say.
"I Just want to know....do you have feelings for me?"

The question hangs in the air, and Trevor holds his breath, waiting for her answer.

Sam is taken aback by the directness of his question and she takes a moment to compose herself before answering.
Hin..hindi ako sure, i mean, gwapo ka no doubt. but..."

*Trevor takes a step closer, closing the distance between them.*
"But what? Tell me. I can handle it, Sam. Just be honest with me."

*He takes a deep breath and continues.*
"I don't want to be just friends with you. I want more than that. I want to get to know you better, date you, and see where things go. But I need to know if you feel the same way."

She pauses, searching for the right words.

"Honestly, masyado akong busy sa trabaho nitong mga nakaraan, and i haven't thought about my feelings to anyone."

Trevo's nod, taking in her answe. "Yeah, I get it. Work can be pretty demanding, and it's important to focus on that. But, I can't shake the feelings that there's something between us, you know?"

he hesitate for the moment and continuing . "I mean i know it's cliche, but it i really enjoy spending time with you. I just want to know if there's a chance that you feel the same way, or if i'm just imaginign things."

Sam looks at him for a moment, considering his words. she can see the sincerity in his eyes and the way he's looking at her. she can't help but feel a little flutter in her chest, but she's still hesitant to fully acknowledge her own feelings.

"I don't know, Trevor. I mean . hindi ko alam kung okay na ba ko or kung handa na ba ko? kasi naka focus ako ngayon sa trabaho ko,
she looks down avoiding his gaze,

trevor looks at her with mix of disappointment and understanding.
"I get it, Sam. i really do. Work is important, and i don't want to pressure you into anything you're not ready for. But i just need to know if there's a chance that you could see us being anything more than just friend in the future,"

He take a step back, giving her some space to think.
"Just think about it, okay? And if ever change your mind, you know how to reach me."

Sam nods, feeling relieved that he's not pushing her further.
"Okey, I'll think about it. Thanks for understanding."
she awkwardly smiles at him and go out in the car. then she knocked on the window " Ingat ka."

Trevor nods, giving her a small smile in return.
"Thanks. You take care.

He hesitate for a moment looking at her for the last time, before return to his car. and drive way back to his condo. 

when he gets back, suddenly sandra message him.
"Sungit pwede ba kami mag stay ni ate sa condo mo? hahahaha, malapit kasi dyan work ko. Tsaka chance mo na mapalapit kay ate"

Trevor reads the message from sandra, his heart skipping a beat as he realizes what this means. A chance to get closer to Sam.

He quickly type a reply, trying to control his excitement under control.

"Sure no problem. You both can stay at my condo as always. Let me know when you're coming."

As he waits for the responce, Trevor feels a mix of excitement and nervousnes. He wonder if Sam will be staying there as well, and the thought make his heart race. 

He tries to distract himself by tidying his condo, making sure everything is in orderfor the arrival of his guest. His phone have notification , it's sandra's reply 
"Andito ko kila ate, biglang nag message HR nila at nilipat siyang Malate malapit din sa condo mo, hahahaha wala ng choice si ate sasama siya saken papunta dyan."

As the hour pass, Trevor paces around his condo, unable to sit still. He's eagerly awaiting the arrival of Sam and Sandra. He check his phone repeatedly, waiting for a message from them.

Trevor's heart skips beat as he hears the doorbell ring. He quickly stands up, smoothing down his hair and taking a deep breath before heading to the door. He opens it and greeted by Sandra, standing on the other side
"Hey, Come in."he says, gesturing for her to enter. "Is Sam with you?"
