Le temps de qualité 

Translation: Quality time

Panay ang tingin ni Kathlyn sa telepono nito. Kasalukuyang siyang nasa isang restaurant kasama ang mga kaibigan niya. Hindi na mabilang ni Miles kung ilang beses sa isang segundo sumusulyap si Kath sa e-mail at telepono nito. 

She was worried. On the fourteenth day that they have been seeing each other, she was already expecting Dane to walk away. Two weeks. This is his reputation. They say or Miles say, dalawang linggo lamang ang itinatagal ng mga babaeng na li-link sa kanya. It's like after two weeks, he would just disappear like a bubble.

She sighed and promised herself that she will not get hurt. That she will accept things as they are. When he walks away, she will be the same Kathlyn that she is now. She will not go back to her old wardrobe or eyeglasses. For what it's worth, the whirlwind thing that they have has done a great deal for her confidence and self-respect. Regardless of how sinfully she got her self-love back, she will not regret a single moment of it.

"Are you okay?" Miles asked.

No! Hindi pa siya tumatawag o nag text man lang! At lunch na! It took all her effort not to scream that. Instead, she said. "I'm fine. Bakit mo naman nasabing hindi?"

Miles shrugged. "You looked tense." 

You think? 

Kathlyn sighed. "Too much work, I guess."

The day she met him and spent the night with him, Dane has been sending her messages throughout the day. 

You just take my breath away. It says. Hindi nga niya alam kung bakit ito ang laging laman ng mensahe niya. When she asked him he just said that, he always looks at his window every morning and she just did... took his breath away.

Kath smiled. But it slowly fades away when she remembered that it's their fourteenth day and he is acting like she didn't exist at all. She doesn't want to swallow her pride and call him. Not at the end of two weeks, when he is rumored to lose interest in a woman.

She composed herself at tinuon ang pansin sa pagkain niyang hindi pa pala nagagalaw dahil sa kakaisip niya kay Dane.

"Miss Kathlyn Manuel?"

She looked up and saw a guy na hinihinala niyang ka edad lamang niya. Nakasuot ito ng uniporme tulad ng mga nagtratrabaho sa restaurant kung saan sila kumakain. 

"Yes?"

He put a large bouquet of red roses on their table. 

She looked up at him. "From who?" She asked.

"There's a card Ma'am. Please sign here." The guy said.

She signed the paper. When he was gone, she scanned the card nervously.
