"You first. Ikaw ang nakaisip, so dapat ikaw ang mauna."

"No. Ladies first." Dami namang alam neto, char. Hindi ko nga alam 'kung saan mag-uumpisa. Bahala na nga.

"Alyson Alexandra M. Marquez," what should I say next? I don't know. Sasabihin ko ba sakan'ya na one month nalang, birthday ko na? Or 'wag kasi dapat alam n'ya 'yon?

"Okay," he's eyes are still fixed on the road. "Your mom and dad are both doctors right?"

"Yup. My mom is a general surgeon, while my dad is a neurosurgeon."

"Are you going to take a general surgeon like your mom?"

"No. Of course not, I want to be a..." A lawyer. "... neurologist like my daddy." Maybe Jax will take a general surgeon like my mom. Actually hindi pa 'ko sure, sina Gray at Jameson kasi cardiologist. Ako hindi ko pa alam.

"I already told you my hobbies last time right? Hmm, mahilig ako sa mga Greek mythology. I also loved playing a chess and online games." I commented.

"How about your favorite season? Food? Place?" Para s'yang reporter na ini-interview ako.

"I love rainy days. I like the sound of the rain, it makes me feel so calm and relax." Plus music, plus coffee and without Gray, what a peace for me.

"I thought you like rain so, you can't go to school." He laughed. Na-stuck kami sa traffic kaya nanatingin na s'ya sa'kin.

"Baliw hindi," hinampas ko siya. Panira 'din 'to nang moment eh. Sarap ihulog sa bintana ampucha.

"Is that Pluviophile? A someone who loves rain?" Ngayon seryoso na ulit s'ya. He knows that huh, I can see na matalino siya, based sa mga medals na nakita ko sa bahay nila.

"Yeah," pag sang-ayon ko. "I already told you before that I have a older brother right? His name was Jax, a second year college in our university. He's the older among the three of us the next was me, then Gray was the youngest." Hindi ko na pinaliwanag ang course ni Jax, sigurado naman na alam na n'ya. "Hindi ako mapili sa pagkain. Kahit ano basta safe kainin. I'm allergic on peanut and shrimp." Actually kaming dalawa ni Gray. "In place? I love to go to Singapore, especially in Maldives." I loved the water on that beach.

.

"Good." He whispered in a low voice.

"Ha?" Hindi ko narinig 'yung sinabi n'ya.

"Nothing." He shrugged.

"Okay?" Sinandal ko ang likod ko sa pinto nang kotse n'ya. "Your turn."

"Marcus Niccolai J. Guillermo, my middle name is Javier. They're calling me Nicus, but I want you to call me Niccolai." I thought he would say that he wanted me to call him babe. Why so assuming Alyson?

"Okay, Niccolai?"

"Nice, thought you forgot." He winked.

"Why should I forget that name?" The name that I have a crush on. Bihira lang ako na magkagusto sa isang tao and I can say that, I have a crush on him. A crush for now, I guess.

"I don't know," he shrugged his shoulder. "My mom is a lawyer, while my dad is a prosecutor. As if you're curious about them." Nag start na ulit s'yang mag drive nang medyo umusad ang ibang sasakyan sa unahan namin.

"So, you're only child?" Umayos na 'ko nang upo.

"Yes, why? Gusto mo dagdagan?"

Hindi ko pinansin ang tanong niya. "How about your dog Orion? You didn't treat him as a sibling?"
