It took me several minutes until I realize what I'm doing right in front of the door.
I shook my head.
"Ang corny mo, ulol." I whispered to myself.
"I should go now. Ugh! Nakakainis talaga iyong asong ulol na yun."
I head back inside my office.
I can't concentrate with my work. My mind is still thinking about him.
****
"Magta-time out kana Doc?"
"Yes."
"Okay po."
"Why do you ask? Ihahatid mo ba ako?"
"H-hindi po. May naghihintay po yata sa inyo sa labas."
I didn't answer her.
I went to the parking lot.
"Hi doc. Looking tired?"
"None of your business, doc."
"I can give you a massage."
"Fuck you! Umalis ka na nga dito!"
"Don't say bad words doc. Bakit green minded ka ba? That's my sideline hehe." He scratch his head.
"Sideline? I-I didn't know. Mayaman ka naman diba? Bat may sideline ka pa?"
"My parents want me to."
"Oh bondying." I laughed.
His jaw clenched.
"Bakit ganyan ka makatingin?"
"Don't ever repeat saying those words again. I might shut you up doc."
"What are you gonna do? Kill me? I don't care kahit patayin mo ako. Wala naman akong binubuhay so you can kill me if you wish.".
"That's not what I meant."
"Edi anong ibig mong sabihin?"
"I'll shut you up with a kiss." He smirked.
"Yucks!"
"Nag tooth brush naman ako ah. Mahal pa iyon even my mouthwash. Only rich people can afford that."
"You will kiss me without my permission? Ang galing mo din no. Wala ngang tayo tapos may kiss."
"So you're allowing me to court you first before our kiss?"
"No. I don't want to have a love life. I'm happy and contented being single."
"Mas masaya pag meron ka sa buhay ko Doc. I'll be the happiest if you say 'yes'. I'll be a good boyfriend and a husband to you. Pagsisilbihan kita and I will love you eternally."
"Ayokong masaktan."
"I can't promise you that but I'll promise we will surpass the pain because of our love for each other."
"Hindi ako nagpapaligaw Doc. Ayoko."
"I won't force you then but we can be best friends for now and after that kapag nakilala mo na ako, pwede na kitang ligawan diba?"
"It depends."
