Chapter 7
"What a total douchebag!" Star exclaimed as she stand on our sofa. Naiinis na itinuturo niya ang lalaking bida sa pinanonood naming romantic movie.
Tumawa ako habang kumakain ng popcorn.
"He is not frenny," I mused. "Sadyang naging cold na siya sa girl kasi he thought na baka hindi na siya gusto nito. She was not giving him attention eh. She lacks romantic bones just like someone I know." I smirked at her.
Nagkasalubong ang mga kilay nito at muling umupo sa aking tabi. Kumuha siya ng popcorn sa center table na kami rin mismo ang gumawa rito sa bahay.
Tahimik ang gabi at inaya niya akong manood ng pelikula na ini-recommend mismo ni Sun sa amin. Hindi naman ako masyadong makapag-concentrate kasi ang ingay-ingay ba naman ng katabi ko na walang ginawa kung 'di ang laitin ang lalaking bida.
"What do you mean by that?" tanong niya at tumikhim. She seems curious.
"Hmm, uh, well.."
I stared at the screen of my phone when it suddenly lit up as I've got a new message.
From: my phoenix
What are you doing?
"My phoenix?" I saw Star staring also at my screen. Hindi na akong nag-abala pang itago ito. "Boyfriend?" she asked.
Ngumiti ako sa kanya. Hindi ko siya sinagot.
May alam ba siya sa pagiging malapit naming dalawa ni Nixus?
"Is that someone I know?" Ipinatong niya ang kanyang paa sa kristal na center table namin.
I nodded and put the pink throw pillow on my chest as I typed my reply.
To: my phoenix
We're done watching a movie.
I bit my lower lip when I hit the send button. It's been three days since he started texting me. Noong una ay hindi ako makapaniwala subalit sa pagdaan ng mga araw ay ramdam ko ang gaan ng pakiramdam sa tuwing makakatanggap ako ng mensahe galing sa kanya. It is maybe casual. Puro mga 'What are you doing? Did you eat your meal? Did you received the ice cream? I am done talking to my client' and some honest to goodness things.
Pero ganoon pa man ay pinapasaya niya ako kahit sa mga simpleng bagay na iyon. He's cold I know. At hindi siya sanay sa mga ginagawa niya para sakin. Still, he's trying to be a man who wanted to know more about me.
"Whoever is that, he was lucky to be the reason why my bestfriend always smiles a lot," saad nito at hinaplos ang aking buhok. Sumandal din siya sa aking balikat.
Lucky? No. I was the one who is lucky enough to met one of a Montevalle with a soft heart. Kung para sa iba eh wala siyang puso at sobrang distant. To me, he is a great man with a reason wanting to be accepted and loved.

Okay. Now, I'm still polishing my second draft. I'm also done with my dinner.
Can I fetch you tomorrow?
"You mentioned a while ago if someone lacks a romantic bones, maybe her man will think differently and..will find another?"
I turned to her and crinkled my nose. Inilapag ko muna sa tabi ang aking cellphone.
"Find another? Hmm, pwede, alam mo naman 'yong ibang guy Star," simpleng pananakot ko sa kanya.
