We decided to eat at Firefly Roofdeck here in Makati.
We got the perfect spot to see the busy night around the area.
We decided to eat here since medyo malapit lang din naman ito sa venue sa book con.
"Thank you for accepting my invitation, Felicity." he said.
"Oh, no worries! Sakto at gutom na din ako." sabi ko at biglang kinuha ang tubig at ininom yon ng dire-diretso.
"So, can you evaluate your experience kanina sa book con?" I asked him, pamatay lang sa katahimikan.
"Well, the author is very good. I just you know hate the ending. The character decided to give his ex a second chance despite of hurting him."
"Same point!" I spat out that made him jump.
"Oh sorry, galit lang din ako sa character." sabi ko at natawa siya ng bahagya.
"You know that scenario can be based on a true love story."
"Yes, pero I don't like that type of love."
"The topic is interesting, let's keep this up. Okay, why do you dislike the idea of second chances, Felicity?" he said in an excited tone.
"Hmm, because I don't like giving one? The idea of second chances is taking the first one as a "trial" parang ganon kasi mindset ng ibang tao. Dahil sa second chance malakas loob nila magloko, kasi alam nilang pede sila magkaroon uli ng chance to fix things."
He nodded while drinking his wine.
"What are you? a stone?" he asked curiously na ikinatawa ko
"No, I just hate complicating things." sabi ko at nagkibit balikat.
"Okay, what if you really love that person? will you consider giving him a second chance?"
"No matter how much I love that person, tingin ko hindi talaga." sagot ko
"Hmmm, have you experienced that kind of love?" he asked that caught me off-guard.
"What do you mean?"
"The love that no matter how much pain caused you, you're still considering giving them another chance or forgive them for their mistakes."
"Hmmm, no?"
"Maybe that's why you dislike the idea of second chances? because you haven't loved someone that hard."
That makes sense, pero I don't know. I just can't imagine myself giving second chances or reaching out to other people just because of love.
"Maybe? I don't really care about it. As of now, all I care about is the food!!!" excited kong sabi dahil dumating na ang food namin
He chuckled a bit and we started eating.
We talked about a lot of things while eating, work-related and also he seems to be interested in my perspective about intimate relationships kaya I answered his questions genuinely.
We left the place at 9:30 pm, good thing wala naman kaming schedule na need attendan tomorrow so ayun we went to the mall to have dessert.
We decided to have bingsu, well it is made with shredded ice, milk, and a lot of toppings.
"I didn't know you're eating stuffs like this William." well, rich kid siya. nagulat lang ako
"Yeah, when I went to korea last year, I've had this and I loved it." oh, that's why.
"Ngayon na lang ulit ako kumain ng ganito katagal sa labas." I accidentally blurted out and saw William's shocked face
"Really?" shocked and proud?? ewan ko that's what I can hear from his voice e, he seems proud.
"Yeah, it's fun to hang out like this."
"Did you enjoy it?" he asked
"Yes, of course! baka pag humindi ako e sisantehin mo ko. Hahaha!" I joked and we both laughed.
We finished our bingsus and decided to go home, he insisted that he should take me home kaya ayun napapayag nya na ko sumakay sa Rolls nya.
Sobrang tahimik at naipit kami sa traffic kaya I asked if I can play some music and he said the "sure, why not" in a rich, savvy way.
I asked him if he's into rock and he said he is, kaya ang pinatugtog ko ay...
Am I more than you bargained for yet?
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
'Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song ~
Sugar we're going down by Fall Out Boy is my jaaaam! I love this song!
The song is about a jealous boy who wanted this girl so bad but he can't have her.
I am tapping my legs while enjoying the song at ng mag-chorus na...
"We're going down, down in an earlier round and sugar, we're going down swinging" we both sang the chorus part!!!
"Oh wow you know this song?" I asked him
"Yes, well I've heard this song months ago and I liked it." he said
We both continue singing until the end of chorus
"Wow! William didn't expect you listen to rock. You look so... fine." I said, I am loss for adjectives kaya fine na lang.
"Really? I look fine?" he said and chuckled
"Yeah?" I said and smiled in an awkward way.
"Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment." he said ang chuckled a bit.
Napapadalas na pagtawa nito ah, medyo nahihiya na ko sa sinasabi ko.
We played a few songs bago makarating sa condo ko.
I even asked him if he wanted to go inside to have coffee, he paid for our food kanina kaya gusto ko may mai-offer din ako sa kanya na food or drinks.
"Thank you for your kind offer but I must refuse." he said
So I thanked him once again before going inside my condo.
I suddenly felt cheery, eating dinner and talking to William is not a bad idea. Akala ko mai-intimidate ako sa kaniya pero I felt comfort.
I took a quick bath before lying in my bed. I checked my phone and saw a notification on my instagram.
will.. started following you
I checked the profile and saw that it is Williams personal account! The one I follow is used for business.
I followed back, baka sabihin niya na suplada ako sa insta. I checked his story and saw the view of roof deck resto where we went. Looking at the mid part of the picture, I saw my self in a side view, admiring the view of the city.
Nilagyan niya ng black line yung part ng mata ko siguro para hindi din makita kung sino talaga ang kasama niya.
But the word he put there as a caption made my heart skip a beat...
"lovely"
