"I baked your favourite, chocolate cupcakes!" Margareth.

Damn, she's here again. Kapag lunch nagdadala siya ng food tas sabay kaming kakain dalawa. She said, she just wants us to be friends again and I gladly obliged. Pero kung ganto na, alam kong iba na 'to. Okay lang sana kung lunch eh kaya lang pati merienda time nagdadala din siya ng food.

I can't say no. For the fact na she'll be hurt and yeah I admit, ang sarap niya talagang magluto. Sabi niya nag-aral din daw siya ng culinary.

"Thank you, Margareth. Uhm, just put it there. I'll eat that later." Sabi ko without looking at her.

"No, I'm gonna feed you." She was about to move closer to me pero I stopped her.

"No, Margareth. Just...go home please? You see I'm so busy right now, I have loads of paperworks to do so just go home." My girl would be damn mad if she knows that someone will feed me.

She frowns. "I just want to see you eat what I baked..." Pucha!

"Some other time, okay? I just can't today." Umiwas ako ng tingin. Ang showy kasi nung ano niya...top.

"Okay. Basta we'll eat lunch tomorrow huh? Bye!" Then umalis na siya pagkasabi niya niyan.

I sighed. 4 days niya na 'kong kinukulit! Though, its not really bad, its just that...its unecessary. Athena will kill me once she finds out!

After my work for today, I decided na mag drive thru sa Mcdo. Yes, mcdo. Nag crave lang ako bigla. Papunta na rin ako sa resort and luckily wala ako sa city bukas kaya hindi kami sabay mag lunch. Nice!

I had a 30-minute meeting with some of my staffs then dinismissed ko na rin sila kaagad. I'm so tired.

Hindi sumasagot si Athena sa tawag ko kaya I leave a message nalang. Gahd, I'm so tired!

Kinabukasan, nireview ko lang yung monthly sales then chinecheck ko yung resort kasama yung head manager. May lumapit na staff sa'kin.

"Ms. Louise, hinahanap po kayo ni Ms. Margareth Perez. Nasa lobby po siya ngayon."

What the fudge?! Dali-dali akong nagpunta sa lobby and yes she's really here! May dala siyang backpack na I'm sure mga damit yung laman then may shoulder bag din siya.

"Hi!" She said, smiling widely again.

"How did you know that I'm here?" Kunot-noong tanong ko. Wala naman akong naalala na sinabi kong nandito ako sa resort kapag weekends.

"I asked your secretary. Anyways, I like your resort. I guess I'll enjoy my stay here." She said, roaming her eyes.

Since wala naman akong magagawa, pinalagay ko na sa villa na malapit sa'kin yung gamit niya. Gusto ko man siyang malayo sa'kin, ayaw niya namang pumayag. Kingina, kapag malayo daw yung villa niya sa'kin uuwi nalang daw siya. Nagpakahirap pa daw siyang mag commute papunta dito. As if pinag commute siya-_-

"Come on, Jeyl, let's have a picture together!" She said nang nasa dalampasigan na kami. I just nod para matigil na siya.

Naka limang shots din siya at hindi pa don, tumawag pa siya ng staff para picturan kaming dalawa. Dahil feeling ko ang harsh ko sa kanya the last days, umo-oo nalang ako sa trip niya.

We ate lunch on the beach side. We're both seafood lovers. Sa kanya ko talaga natutunan kung pano kumain ng seafood. And yeah, nagustuhan ko na talaga since that. At first crabs talaga yung fave ko pero mas masarap yung sugpo so yeah.

"Mags, ang gulo mo pa'rin kumain. Come closer..." Sabi ko na sinunod niya naman. Pinunasan ko yung gilid ng mouth niya.

"You called me Mags..." Sabi niya, kumukurap-kurap pa. Ngumiti lang ako. "You smiled!" Shock na sabi niya.
