(Phone conversation)
12:16 PM
Liam:
(Deep voice) Hello, Miles? (Clears throat) Nakarating ka na sa office n'yo?
Miles:
(Pause) It's lunch time na here, Liam Guwapo. (Laughs softly) Uhm, are you waiting ba sana ng message ko if nakarating ako nang maayos dito sa lab?
Liam:
Lunch? (Pause) Ano'ng oras na ba?
Miles:
It's past twelve already. I'm at the pantry with my co-workers. They're enjoying all the food you and your friends spoiled me with kanina.
Liam:
Ah. Nakatulog pala 'ko agad pag-alis mo. (Chuckles softly) Akala ko, hindi pa 'ko pagod.
Miles:
That's impossible, Sir. You stayed up all night editing and you cooked for me pa. And nagsaway rin sa mga friends at pinsan mo during breakfast.
Liam:
(Chuckles) Lagi namang pasaway 'yong mga 'yon.
Miles:
Yeah. They're all so chaotic. I was shocked din kay Rohan, kasi makulit siya kanina. I thought tahimik siya lagi.
Liam:
'Sus, 'wag kang papabudol do'n. Tarantado rin 'yon. (Laughs)
Miles:
Parang nga. And Vernon is always kawawa. I thought they would gang up on you and tease you about something, but everything always falls on Vernon.
Liam:
Mabaho kasi siya. (Laughs)
Miles:
Bad kayo. Hindi naman, ah. Mukha naman siya laging naliligo.
Liam:
Hmm. Mahabang kuwento kung bakit siya Vernon Baho. Kuwento ko sa 'yo sa susunod. 'Pag handa na 'kong hindi siya i-bash.
Miles:
(Laughs softly) Ang bad mo talaga.
Liam:
Ayaw mo ba ng bad, Miss? Gusto mo ba nang mas mabait?
Miles:
Why? Are you gonna behave po?
Liam:
Puwede. Pag-isipan ko.
Miles:
No. I like you just like that.
(Pause)
Miles:
I mean, uh, I mean... I like you just like that as a person.
Liam:
(Chuckles) Ah. Puwede bang magpa-upgrade?
Miles:
Huh? What do you mean?
Liam:
Wala. (Chuckles) I like you rin.
Miles:
As a person, right?
Liam:
Hulaan mo, Miss.
Miles:
I'm not a manghuhula!
Liam:
Sabihin ko sa 'yo sa susunod.
Miles:
Why sa susunod pa?
Liam:
Kasi masama akong tao at gusto kong ma-torture kang mag-isip.
Miles:
What?! You're so bad, Liam Guwapo!
Liam:
Okay lang 'yan, Miss Miles. Like mo naman ako as a bad person. (Chuckles)
Miles:
Babawiin ko na 'yong sinabi ko. Hmp.
Liam:
Walang bawian, Miss.
Miles:
Tch. I called this late because I don't want to disturb you in case you were sleeping, and you were tripping.
Liam:
Quits lang naman tayo. Naghihintay ako ng tawag o message mo kahit tulog ako.
(Pause)
Miles:
You mean--Ugh, I'm so dumb. Your voice was that deep when you answered my call because you were sleeping! Why did you answer my call?
Liam:
Kasi nga hinihintay kita.
Miles:
But why?
Liam:
Kasi gusto ko.
Miles:
Hmp.
Liam:
Tingin nga ng (copies Miles) hmp mo sa personal. (Laughs lightly)
Miles:
Kainis ka, Liam Guwapo.
Liam:
Cute mo, Miss. Kain ka na diyan. Baka maubos ng mga workmates mo 'yong pagkain 'tapos magalit ako sa kanila. (Chuckles) Masamang tao pa naman ako.
Miles:
Hindi naman. And-- (Muffled sound) Wait, Liam.
(Pause) (Muffled sound)
Miles:
Uhm, I have to go. I have a visitor.
Liam:
Hmm. Sino? Manliligaw?
Miles:
What? No. I'm not entertaining any manliligaw. It's my cousin.
Liam:
Ah. Sige, Miss. Kain mabuti.
Miles:
Go back to sleep, Liam Guwapo. Bye.
End call.
