"Sige, bench body spray," hula niya ulit.
"It's Jo Malone!" I pouted. "English Pear & Freesia, by the way."
Hinabol ko siya at huminto naman siya sa paglalakad para makaabot sa 'kin. Pagkatapos, sabay na ulit kaming naglakad papunta sa McDo.
Pagkapasok namin, humanap na ako ng table at siya na ang nag-prisintang umorder. Nagpangalumbaba ako habang nagii-scroll sa phone ko. I opened my Instagram and stole a video of him to post on my IG story. I zoomed it on his back while he was talking to the cashier and captioned it 'Straight from the game.'
Kaso naka-close friends lang. Kaunti lang ang nasa close friends ko. Hindi rin makikita ni Sevi dahil hindi siya kasama sa list. I smirked.
Nagulat ako nang ilapag na ni Sevi ang tray sa table. I looked at him and noticed that he was thinking about something.
"What?" I asked him.
"Kapatid ba ni Jo Malone si Post Malone?" Sumingkit ang mga mata niya.
"Shut the hell up." I massaged my head. Sumakit ang ulo ko sa banat niya.
"E, si Ho?" Tanong niya ulit.
"What?"
"Ho Malone?" Then he laughed at his own joke.
Natawa ako dahil nakakatawa ang tawa niya, not because of the joke! He laughed more because I laughed a little, tinuro pa ang mukha ko. Napairap ako at kinuha na lang ang paper bag ng food para kay Kuya Roel, saka tinabi 'yon sa gilid.
"Akala ko sa 'yo 'yon? Hindi ka kakain?" Kumunot ang noo niya.
"I'm not allowed to eat fast food." I sighed.
Binuksan niya ang burger niya at inabot sa 'kin. Umiling kaagad ako at nilayo ang mukha ko ro'n para hindi madikit sa bibig ko.
"I can't!" inis na sabi ko sa kaniya.
"Kahit kaunti lang? Kahit kagat lang?" pagpupumilit niya.
"Ugh, fine..." I leaned over the table to take a bite of his burger. "Happy?" I said with my mouth full.
He smiled and nodded with so much satisfaction from what he did. It was like he unlocked a new level in the game. Umirap ako at kinuha ang jug ko para uminom ng tubig.
"Ah, oo nga pala, baka makalimutan ko..." Kinuha niya ang bag niya at nilabas ang paper bag na lukot saka binigay sa 'kin.
Kinuha ko 'yon at binuksan to see the tiger shirt inside. It was a different shirt this time. Iba ang design, like it was made specifically for basketball games. Go UST Growling Tigers ang nakalagay. It was on his size so malaki na naman sa 'kin.
