Ezra's POV

I felt him kiss me on my cheek after classes, "how's my Ezra?"

I looked over at him and grinned, "still alive."

He laughed and hugged me from behind, he smelled my hair.

"Wala ka bang trabaho?"

"Break ko ngayon, mamaya ako babalik."

Napansin ko sa tapat ko si Alegre na nanonood lang samin, he's chewing his straw while watching us. When he noticed my gaze, nag iwas agad siya ng tingin.

Binaling ko nalang sa iba ang atensyon ko.

"It's been five months, huh? Buti strong pa kayo." Si Brina na nanonood din samin, as well as Hugo and Amora.

"I know," natatawang sabi ni Danilo, "buti nga walang bumabakod kay Ezra, akala ko babakuran ako nitong pinsan ko." He reached for Alegre's shoulder and gripped it.

Alegre just smiled at him and didn't say anything.

My brows furrowed at that.

"Anyway, let's go? We're going somewhere." Danilo tried to pull me.

"Kuya, may lakad kami."

Sabay kaming napatingin kay Alegre.

"Oh? Saan kayo pupunta? Walang nasabi sakin si Ezra."

Alegre just looked at me, he knows he can't distribute such a private information that easily; he needed my permission to do so.

I looked at Danilo and smiled, "just a normal hang out with friends, I mean, it's been so long since our quality time together."

"Mamaya na 'yan, kami muna, sandali lang 'to. Okay?" He asked lightly of my friends.

They all looked surprised and lost for words, mukhang hindi talaga alam ang isasagot sakanya, they all looked at me as if I have the final decision.

I just smiled at them, "I'll meet you guys later.."

All I received is just their nods, they all looked like they wanted to say something but stopped their selves.

Sabay na kaming umalis ni Danilo para pumasok sa kotse niya.

Limang buwan na kaming may relationship ni Danilo, when Daddy found out, he was really delighted. I don't know how I should react to that, it's clear he's just happy kasi hindi pa man kami kasal ni Danilo ay kami na.

And yes, kami na. I figured 'panliligaw' is not the right mix for someone like me. Bakit pa patatagalin kung doon din naman pupunta, hindi ba? At least I get to spend time with someone longer this way.

And.. Danilo's not that all bad. He really did make up for the months he turned AWOL. I slowly realized too how he is a man.

For one thing, he is really a committed guy. When he has his focus devoted on something, he won't share that attention in other matters anymore. The things he prioritizes the most is work.

But.. he also gives me parts of his time, so maybe I'm one of his priorities, too?

I must be.. kung ganito ba naman ang babaeng nakakasama mo, diba?

Magkahawak-kamay ay naglibang kami sa mall. Even though I look calm, I admit to myself that I really feel giddy because of our situation.

God, Ezra, para kang bata!

But can you blame me? This is the first time someone actually made me this happy. I've ended a lot of relationships in the past, all good and bad, rich, wild, tall, handsome boys but none of them made me feel this way.
