"What was that all about?" Care to explain?" - Joyce
"Well for starters, I don't like that doctor! She insinuated that I am a member of an LGBT group... I am not against them but to judge me that way, well that did it!" Maine snapped...
"I was also irritated the way she is looking at us as if I came from somewhere and I am not worthy of his time!" She added...
"Ohhhkayyyy!"
"And that snapped my resolve plus the fact that I have this wound on my head that was caused by some stupid action of someone here...!"
"Maine, I told you hindi ko sinasadya... Sobrang absorb ka sa sasakyan or sa headset or sa kakaisip kaya hindi mo napansin na nakasilip ako!" - Sam
"Ah, so kasalanan ko pa pala! Sorry ha? wag ka mag-alala I will take care of myself para hindi ako masugatan sa noo at lalong-lalo na ma-ineksiyonan!" She snapped again...
"Maine, tama na yan! Baka kung mapaano ka pa!" Pigil ni RJ sa dalaga...
"At good for you Mister, kasi na-gets mo yun paandar ko kanina! Sorry kung nairita ako sa admirer mo ha? Hindi ko talaga gusto ang tabas ng dila niya! Kung type mo siya, explain to her na wag siya masyado judgmental!" Gigil pa ring sabi Maine...
"At sino naman ang maysabing type ko siya? Buti nga binasag mo agad, dahil nakakairita talaga siya!" Malumanay na sabi ni RJ...
"Good answer!" Maine said...
"Balik na tayo sa talyer, may inayos ako dun! And please no talking behind my back!" Maine walked to the car without further ado...
"Ibig bang sabihin nito nakikinig siya sa usapan at effects lang ang headset niya kanina?" Sam blurted out in awe...
"That my friend is definitely worthy of a sit down..." Joyce said...
"Hmmmm..." Nico while rubbing his chin...
Everyone is back at the station again... And Sam, Nico and Joyce are getting impatient of getting Maine on a sit down but they also want to grill RJ regarding Maine...
Maine went back again onto tinkering, however this time, RJ got himself busy by passing tools to Maine...
"So, what will be the modifications this car will get? Care to share?" RJ
"This car will need to up its handling capabilities, meaning we need to make sure this time that any slight changes on speed and acceleration, we will be able to notice... It will also more breezy when it comes to turns and sharps on the road...! And that's for starters...!" Maine explained...
"Oh, okay! By the way, is your wound okay? Does it not give you any discomfort?"
"Hmmmm, no naman although the sting give me some discomfort... It felt like heavy... But other than that I'm totally okay..." Maine said...
"Why don't we stop this and then grab some coffee? And by the by, what time will you be finished tinkering that machine?" RJ said...
"In 3, 2, 1... Done! Hooray! My first modifications is done... Now we only need for a test drive if this modifications is to our advantage or not, but this will be scheduled tomorrow after office...!" Maine said...
"Tomorrow? Is it okay if I skip tomorrow sked? Kasi I will be meeting with a client e...!" RJ said...
"No problem, RJ... Its okay... We can take it from here... We just call you if we will have this done... And we will just send you the changes we have made on to your car... And...!" Maine was stopped by a finger put on to her lips!
"You talked too much... Just tomorrow night! I intend to be with the team all the way!" RJ said with conviction while staring at her eyes...
"You promise?"
"Yes, pinky swear!" And he hooked his pinky to her pinky to seal the deal...
RJ was lost for words when a full blown smile came up from her beautiful face...
"Oh, shit! She is really beautiful... She really is a ball of sunshine, literally! And I want that smile intended only for me!" RJ's train of thoughts...
While the two are on their own bubbles, the three however seal the deal...
"This is really interesting...!"
"Wow! They are so bagay! I am rooting for these two, Lord!"
"And there is my Nicomaine! The last time I saw that smile was before the " bully" year! And I missed that Nicomaine! I prayed that this is a start of coming out of her shell!"
On the other hand, medyo nakabawi na sila sa kani-kanilang emosyon...
"Oh, ano Tara! I want that coffee..." Maine said.
"Yes, let's go!" RJ said...
"Sama natin sila?" Maine said..
"Hmmm, wag na! Ano libre din? E may kasalanan pa nga sila sa iyo, db?"
"Hmmmm...!" At may pilyang ngiti sumilip sa mga labi ni Nicomaine...
"Mukhang may natutuwa diyan sa tabi-tabi a!" RJ said...
Nagulat pa siya ng hatakin siya ni Nicomaine papunta sa tatlo... "Hayyy, ang lambot talaga ng kamay niya! Ang sarap hawakan!"
"Sana kayo? We will have coffee after finishing the first modification on the car!" Maine.
"Wow! Natapos mo yung agenda today? Hmmm, inspired?" Nico
"Shut up, Kulas!" Maine.
"Saan tayo?" Sam
"Starbucks!" Joyce..
"OK! But we will all ride sa fortuner!" Maine.
"OK... Let's go!"
Hindi nahalata ng dalawa Ang nakasilip na kapilyahan sa mga Mata ni Maine...
While in the SB, Maine told RJ na sakyan na lang Ang gagawin niya or else...
"Order's for Nicomaine..." The server called as per her request of not mentioning her list of orders only her name...
When Nicomaine stand up from the table, RJ too, stand up and followed her... The three was surprised and what flabbergasted when the two went out laughing their hearts out... They are in trance until the two disappear from their eyes before realizing that they were screwed up by the two!
They run as fast as they can but they can also see now the tail light of the fortuner! How in the world will they go back for their cars now?!!! Its a mile from here to the gasoline station! Oh, what to do! What to do!
