- Daniel’s POV -
Umupo ako sa harapan ni Kath at tinitigan sya. Mukhang naiinip na ito dahil lahat ng mga friends naming nasa dance floor na at iniwan talaga nila kami. Obvious naman na planado ang lahat. So andito kami ngayon ni Kath secretly hoping na mapagod na sila at bumalik na dito sa table.
Mukha na kaming tanga dito di man lang kami naguusap. Bahala nga nga si Batman. Ako na lang magiinitiate ng conversation.
“Pwede ko ba malaman bakit ka bumalik dito sa Pilipinas” Tanong ko sa kanya.
Tiningnan nya lang ako at parang nagulat na nagsalita ako. Mukha din syang uneasy na kinakausap ko sya. I think it’s a good sign. She might not be as “immune” to me gaya ng sabi nya.
“Business” Simpleng sagot ni Kath at uminom ito sa cocktail drink nya.
“What kind of business?” tanong ko ulit. Hello? One worded answer ba naman ibigay sa kin!
“The kind that’s none of your.” Masungit na sagot nya sa kin, not even bothering to look at me.
GRABE! Nakakainis na tong babaeng ito ha! I never had any woman treat me this way. Breathe in, breathe out, kalma lang DJ.
“Nagbago ka na talaga.” Sabi ko.
“At least isa sa atin nagbago na.” Sagot nya habang binaba ang cocktail drink.
“DJ, I’m going to be frank with you. Hindi tayo friends at the moment, there’s no sense of camaraderie between the two of us or whatsoever. So wag mong pilitin ang wala naman.” Sabi nya sa kin.
Nagulat ako dun ha. Nagbago na talaga sya. Ibang iba sa Kathryn na nakilala ko. I have underestimated her. She’s no longer the friendly and happy go lucky Kath. Sobrang serious na and business type. Para na syang ako. Oh no!
Kanina pa naman pinlano ko to try and win her over. Op op! Not to make her mine again pero at least maging okay na uli kami and not to make things more complicated than they already are. I just wanted to try and win our friendship back. Pero looking at how she’s reacting, mukhang mahirap na mangyari yun.
Pero teka, ako ata si Daniel Padilla. At walang mahirap para sa kin. So, tumayo ako at…
“Would you like to dance?”

- Julia M.’s POV –
“Tingnan mo, Babe! Naguusap na sila!” Bulong ko kay Quen habang sumasayaw kami.
“Yeah, nakikita ko yun. Pero bakit parang di naman interested si Kath na makipagusap?” sabi sa kin ni Quen.
“Siguro dahil di naman talaga Lady Magnet si DJ as everyone thought he was” sagot ko sa kanya.
“What? Baliw ka ba? Impossible yun. DJ is a well renowned playboy. Kilala mo si DJ nearly as kung gaano ko sya kakilala.” Quen said while making a face.
“Well, okay maybe not.” Sabi ko na lang. Tama naman si Quen. Hmm..

- Janella’s POV –
“Naguusap na sila. That’s a good start, right?” sabi ko kay Jerome habang nagssway sa music.
