Angeles' point of view.

"Dito pa rin ang condo mo?" nilingon ko ang building na pinasukan ng kotse ni Jackson.

"Yep. Can't leave it." Ipinark na nya ang kotse.

My face flushed at the memories.

Pagkatapak ko pa lang sa semento ay nagmarka na agad ang tubig doon. Basang-basa kaming pareho, kaya naman pati 'yong bago na naman niyang kotse ay nadumihan na namin gawa ng putikan naming mga sapatos at naglalawa na rin dahil sa nabasa kami ng ulan.

Buti na nga lang at hindi nya binuksan pa 'yung aircon.

Pagkapasok namin ng lobby ay bumungad agad sa'min ang mga mapanuring mga mata ng staffs na nandoon. Some can't even hide themselves from sharing thoughts to one another.

I sighed, realizing the fact that I can never live without issues of me with someone popular from show business.

Jackson looks like he doesn't care at all, as he kept on walking while talking with someone over his phone, his other hand was intertwined with mine, which the gesture itself tells what is the real score between us.

But even I, doesn't have any clue of what is happening with us right now. I don't know what is the exact phase in a relationship we are in.

Few minutes later, the sound of elevator ruined my monologue.

Wala nang kausap si Jackson sa cellphone, ngunit nanatiling magkahawak ang aming mga kamay. Hindi ko maiwasan ang pagngiti.
It felt surreal. Parang kahapon lang ay hindi ako makalapit sa kanya ng ganito, ngayon ay parang nananaginip na lang ako.

Pinagmasdan ko siyang ilagay ang password niya para magbukas ang pinto ng condo nya.

"Ano'ng meaning no'n?" Matapos kong makita ang mga numerong tinype nya. Hindi ko alam iyon but the numbers look familiar.

"Your birthday," he said as he opened the door.

Umangat agad ang dalawang sulok ng labi ko. Hindi na mawala-wala pa ang ngiti sa mukha ko habang naglalakad papasok maging sa pagsara ko ng pinto.

Since we are soaking, we went to his room to change first as he suggested. Familiar warmth embraced me when I stepped on the tiled floor of his room.

Nothing has changed. The king-sized bed was still placed at the center of his room. One way glass window still shows the most beautiful view inside his condo. Modern furnitures were neatly arranged. Black, gray, and white as theme colors scream elegance. The smell and ambiance spells manly. Halatang si Jackson ang namumugad.

"Want to change first?" he asked.

"Ikaw muna." Tutal ay hawak na niya ang twalya nya. Ililibot ko na lang muna ang mata ko sa loob ng condo niya.

"Just call me when you need anything. I'll be quick," he instructed before going inside the bathroom.

Nakatayo lang ako doon habang palibot-libot ang mga mata sa mga gamit niya. Ilang beses lang ako noon nakapasok ng condo niya at ngayon ko lang talaga natitigan nang matagal ang mga gamit niya.

Mayroon pa kaming picture na dalawa doon sa side table nya. Feminine pa ang pose niya doon pero inilagay niya pa rin sa frame. T'saka ko lang naalala na iyon lang ata ang tangi naming naging litrato.

Naglakad pa ako nang ilang saglit at nakita ang isang estante. His awards are organized based on the date. Those are the only things that looks so bright inside his condo. Hindi mapipigilang hindi tignan...
