"Wow! Anong meron? Ganda natin ah" nag angat siya ng mukha upang harapin ito.
Nakatayo sa harapan ng table niya si Rocco at pinagmamasdan siya ng mabuti.
"I'm meeting my girlfriends,tonight" masayang pahayag niya dito,ibinaba niya ang salamin na hawak. She will have dinner with Meg and Reynold before they will meet her friends "we are partying"
They are in good terms naman na ni Rocco,lalo na kung wala masyadong trabaho. Para nalang silang magkaibigan na nasa iisang lugar,nagkakasundo. Minsan may asaran,bangayan at pikunan,pero masasabi niyang they are becoming friends now. Palagay na ang loob niya dito,inisantabi na rin niya ang kung ano man ang nararamdamn na niya para dito. She can see that he seem to move on from his feelings for her,already. Tama lamang iyon dahil hindi na siya malaya at isa pa,balita na may nagugustuhan na itong ibang babae.
"Oh,my bad,I'd like to meet them again but I have a date" napataas ang gilid ng kanyang labi sa pagbanggit nito ng salitang date.
Confirm! He is already dating someone else,mabuti iyon.
Mabuti? Really Sharmaine? You won't think of him touching ang kissing someone who is not you?
"Yeah,,I bet Emerie would ditch her boyfriend just to be with you" she smirked,he chuckled.
"I remember her" nakangisi nitong sabi.
"And she never forget about you,kung alam mo lang kung gaano niya ako kinulit simula ng hindi mo na ako sinusundo sa school,she bombarded me with so much questions about you,mind you that girl is a good catch"
Natatawa itong naupo sa visitor's chair na nasa tapat ng table ko.
"Not my type,but yeah she's good looking,,I heard you're taking your friend Meg and Reynold,huh? How did you do that?" There this teasing accusation dancing in his eyes "I'm really wondering how did you manage to convinced Reynold to go on a bar tonight,we grew up together,he's aloof,he's a homebody kind of person and you just made him go out of his comfort zone"
I grinned.
"I just happened to know what make him move his ass off his little kigdom"
He would do as I told him kahit mas mataas pa ang posisyon sa akin ni Sir Reynold. That old fashion guy who happened to be Rocco's cousin has a secret desire to my friend,Meg. Yeah,pretty amusing that there's still someone like him,who is torpe when it comes to the girl he likes a lot.
"And besides,his at this age where he have to settle down,start a family,gosh! He's thirty five soon,then I found out he have never been in a relationship,goodness! If I just didn't knew what he likes I would have thought he is gay" para akong naeeskandalo na nagkukwento sa harapan ni Rocco habang ito ay natatawa tawa lamang na nakokonig sa akin.
I find comforting and relax.
He laughed "don't say that in front of him,baka halikan ka non" nanlaki ang mga mata ko,nakisakay sa sinabi nito.
"Well,if he's a good kisser,why not?" Natawa siya ng irapan siya nito "I was kidding,he's not my type unfortunately"
"Yeah,I know your type,kaya nga binasted mo ako eh" kunwari nalungkit pa ang mukha nito,siya naman ang nang irap dito.
Things in the past become their jokes,but,just between the two of them.
"Shunga ka naman e,alam mo ng may boyfriend,feeling ka kasi" binelatan niya ito.
"Your fault,I can't resist you" at ako palagi ang sinisisi nito.
Umalis daw siya noon kasi,nakita daw niyang wala talaga siyang pag asa na makuha ako. Nagkataon na ipinadala siya ng daddy niya sa Russia ng mga panahon na iyon,kapalit ng kanyang kuya.
