why does she keep on messaging me?
"babe eto na yung turon mo" i quickly turned off my phone and turned to Ethan, kinuha ko yung turon na nasa kamay niya atsaka niya kinuha yung iba pa naming binili.
"ano yung tinitignan mo sa phone mo kanina?" he asked. maybe it's the right time to tell him about it.
"may nag dm kasi sakin, she kept on asking kung tayo daw ba" sabi ko as i sip on the drink we bought.
"anong username?" tanong niya habang nag lalakad kami papunta sa inuupuan ng iba, kami nalang pala yung hinihintay nila.
"wait tignan ko" nilipat ko sa kabilang kamay yung hawak kong turon para mukha ko yung phone ko.
"ecyoj.i yung username" sagot ko sa kanya, and he suddenly stopped walking.
i looked at him confused "bakit ka huminto?"
"ah wala, wala" he said as he shook his head. he's acting weird.
"just ignore the message" sabi niya kaya naman tumango ako.
nauna siyang nag lakad papunta sa table namin and i just followed him, still weirded out by his action earlier.
we sat down and started eating, dumating din si Tyler dala dala yung desserts na binibenta nila Ella.
habang nag kukwentuhan kami, napansin ko na tahimik lang si Ethan.
"psst, ano nangyari diyan sa katabi mo?" tanong sakin ni Shai. hindi lang pala ako yung nakapansin.
"i don't know" i answered. is it because of earlier? ayaw niya bang malaman ng mga tao na we're in a relationship? does he want to keep it private?
pagkatapos non ay nanood muna kami ng ibang sports but after a while umuwi na din kami, halata kasing pagod na pagod yung boys atsaka may laro pa sila bukas.
ihahatid daw ako pauwi ni Ethan though i told him na okay lang kahit hindi na para makapag pahinga siya agad, pero mapilit siya kaya nag pahatid na ko.
"you seem to be in a bad mood" i stated as he start the engine.
"hindi naman" sagot niya, which i know is not true.
"ang tahimik mo kaya mula nung sinabi ko sayo yung username ng nag dm sakin, kilala mo ba siya?" i asked cause my curiosity can't take it anymore.
he sigh "it's joyce" joyce?
sinong joyce? do i know any joyce?
i kept on thinking kung sino yung joyce and then it clicked, it's his ex!
"your ex?" i asked to be sure kung siya ba yung tinutukoy niya.
tumango siya.
why is she asking if we're in a relationship? di ba pinagpalit niya si Ethan sa iba?
"don't worry about it babe, you guys wouldn't meet at wala naman siya dito sa pilipinas" he said, i don't know why pero i felt relieved when i heard that.
i looked trough her profile and she looks like a badass, if you compare us trough photos i'll probably lose.
we stopped at red light, he turned to me and held my hand.
