I was looking at my reflection in the mirror when someone tapped my arm, flirtily.

Just why?

I stared at the person's reflection on the mirror.

"What?" Nagtataka kong tanong.

I don't even know who is this person beside me who tapped my arm. At paano nakapasok ang babae sa isang men's cr?

She's a lady with heavy makeup,she looked like a coloring book. And she looked fierce and intimidating.

She clicked her tongue and my eyes glued at her lips. She's wearing red matte lipstick.

"Hi, I'm Kiana." A flirty smile formed on her lips. Kumunot ang noo ko sa kanya.

"Hello?" Lito kong sagot. "Why?" Tanong ko. Nakatingin pa rin ako sa repleksyon niya sa salamin.

The same flirty smile is still plastered on her lips, "I saw you when you came in and I think you're really attractive."

"And?" What's with this woman?

"Can I get your number?" Straightforward niyang sabi.

I stared at her for a moment before letting out a sigh.

"I'm sorry miss, but I'm not available."

The woman's lips formed a pout upon hearing me.

This has happened countless times now.

"Really?" Parang nanghihinayang nitong sabi.

Tumango ako. "Yes, thank you very much though." Polite kong sabi bago lumabas sa banyo.

"Oh bakit ang tagal mo naman ata sa CR ha?" Usisa ng kaibigan kong si Rico. But she insists I call her Rica.

She's gay.

Bumuntong hininga ako. "May babae lang na kumausap sa 'kin." Sagot ko at umupo sa katapat na upuan ng kanya.

Kumunot ang noo niya at inilapag ang hawak na inumin sa lamesa. "Sa loob ng CR?"

Tumango ako.

"Sa loob ng Men's CR?" Tanong niya ulit at tumango na naman ako.

"Ano sinabi?"

"Hinihingi number ko."

Humiwa ako sa cake na nasa platito ko at sinubo 'yon. Hmm, this tastes good.

"Habulin ka talaga ng babae, 'no? Ani Rico.

"Not my fault." Kibit-balikat ko at nagpatuloy sa pag ubos ng cake sa harap ko.

Humagikhik si Rico at dumukwang sa may lamesa at mahinang bumulong. "'Di nila alam, lalaki rin ang gusto mo katulad nila."

Napailing ako sa kanya at uminom sa inorder kong drink.

"By the way, when will you confess to Paul?" Taas kilay niyang tanong na inilingan ko.

I shook my head at her with fear in my eyes. "No. Not ever." I said firmly.

Umirap siya. "You liked him even before you met me. Mas mahaba pa ang panahon na gusto mo siya kaysa sa panahon na magkakilala tayo. Are you just gonna wait around while he's pursuing Symerra for the rest of your life?"

"I can't, Rico.." Umiling-iling ako.

"You have to tell him. Sasabihin mo lang naman. It's not like you're confessing to him so he could become your boyfriend." Aniya. "If he rejects you, then okay. At least, you can now move on without looking back again and again wondering what could be if you told him about your feelings."
