And after that song ay bumalik na ako sa table namin kasi nandoon na ang kanilang vocalist. I awkwardly went back at our table to a scowling Bryson, the once serene atmosphere was now replaced with an uncomfortable one.

"Kailangan mo pa talagang mag pa ganda?" he mumbled something.

"Huh? anong sabi mo?" I stared confusedly at his scowling face at nang hindi siya nag abalang tugunin ang tanong ko at nag patuloy lang sa marahas niyang pagputol sa kanyang steak na bagong dating and when I was about to cut my steak ay kinuha niya iyon and replaced mine with his.

My steak was now cut into tiny pieces and what he did warmed my heart. lunod na lunod na ako his actions is making me fall deeper, but I know he only treats me as his younger sibling. And I must change that.

Kinuha ko ang phone ko para picturan ang moment na ito and when I got my phone saka ko lang natandaan na dead batt pala iyon kaya napa hilamos ako sa aking mukha and groaned I saw him moved and he grabed his phone from his pocket at ginamit yon at ngumuso naman ako and averted my gaze at kuya Noah and his bandmates.

"You can use my phone" He said at napatingin ako sa kanya his face was dark, I smiled and declined his offer but he insisted kaya kinuha ko na lang at nakangusong nag paalam at sinundan naman niya ako ng tingin ng pinuntahan ko ang kuya ni Alexis at ang mga ka banda niya para mag pa-picture.

We took a couple of photos of me with Kuya Noah and his friends at nag selfie rin kami. I was browsing through the photos that I took ng lumagpas ako, and I saw a selfie of a woman, the woman that I saw with him, nang mag fa-fine dining kami ni Monica.

I got to study her features, she's really pretty. I smiled bitterly and swiped more and the next photo that I saw is him smiling with her, nakaakbay si Bryson sa kanya I bit my lip and stopped myself from swiping more kasi alam ko lang na masasaktan lang ako, I stared at their photo before closing the app and put a smile at nag lakad papunta sa kinaroroonan ni Bryson nagtama kami his brows were furrowed and I immediately gave him his phone and he checked it.

"Pasa mo na lang sa akin, or wait!" I stared at him with wide eyes "You follow me on instagram!" I concluded with eyes wide at tumango siya still browsing his phone. He didn't deny it! Diko alam kung matutuwa ba ako or hindi.

"Ah just send in on instagram" I said.

"What's the name of your account, para ma follow back kita" I said with a smile.

"You'll know, soon" he replied at tumingin ako sa pagkain ko na ubos na, ngumuso ako. Di pa ako busog. I glanced at his plate at ng mapansing wala na rin laman iyon ay nag aya na akong umalis.

"I ordered dessert" he said at napabaling naman ako sa kanya my eyes met his and my heart jumped because of that.

"Really? What kind?" I asked him and smiled "I choose 5 different desserts kasi diko alam kung anong gusto mo" He replied and I smiled even wider because of his thoughtfulness.

At napatingin naman ako sa waiter na may dalang tray na may limang mag kaibang dessert. And my mouth watered because of the sight. As soon as na lapag na ng waiter ang lahat ay ay agad kong kinuha ang strawberry parfait and as soon as it went into my mouth I moaned while closing my eyes.

"This strawberry parfait is good" I said at scooped once more, not minding his stares. And I looked around and nakita ko naman ang gelato.

"Anong flavor nito?" I asked the waiter who was still in front of us and he answered.

"Stracciatella madam" He said with a tone and I just smiled.

"Do you have biscotti?" I asked again at halatang na gulat naman ang waiter sa tanong ko at ng maka recover siya ay tumango siya making me smile even wider.

"Can I have that please, wait um, can I also have a blueberry cheesecake" I smiled at tumango naman siya at umalis. And I froze ng tumikhim si Bryson dahan dahan naman akong napalingon sa kanya, but I remembered something at napapikit ako sa aking mata.

"I forgot to add Crème Brûlée" I said, annoyed at myself pero my face lifted up ng namataan ko ang waiter going to our table bringing the gelato and cheesecake, at ng nakarating na siya sa amin I asked for a Crème Brûlée and thanked him.

"Lets eat?" I said at Bryson na tiningnan ang mga inorder ko and he smiled at me which made my heart thump and we began eating our deserts and after a few minutes ay insinerve na ang aking Crème Brûlée at dali dali ko namang tinikman iyon.

"This is also good" but not as good as the ones in Paris, but hey, It's not like I'm complaining. We finished our desert at palihim naman akong tumingin sa aking relo, I'm bothered kasi I only stated on the sticky note that I left for Monica na mag go-grocery lang ako and now it's already 8 eh kaninang 4 pa ako lumabas.

The waiter was already heading to us kaya, kinuha ko sa aking card holder ang itim ko na credit card and nang nasa harap ko na ang waiter ay dali dali ko iyong ibinigay sa kanya para ma unahan si Bryson.

The waiters mouths hung open, and eyes wide, napa atras pa nga siya.. There's nothing wrong with my card pero kung makatingin siya ay parang may mali.

"Is it a gift card?" I glanced at my card and took a closer look at it.

"Ah! you don't accept this kind of card" I concluded and I went back inside my bag and took out my card holder and looked for another card at napa kagat ako ng labi because I'm having a hard time finding the right card kaya inisa isa kong nilabas ang aking mga cards 2 of my black cards were now out at sa wakas nakita ko na din and platinum card ko I gave the card to the waiter pero umiiling lang siya at hindi iyon kinuha.

My brows were now already furrowed at tumingin ako kay Bryson who was looking intently at me, and from the way he stares I know that I'm in big trouble. He then dismissed the waiter using his head.

Shit! What if di kami makaka bayad! I started to panic at amang aalis ng ang waiter but I stopped him by holding his arm gamit ang kamay ko na hawak ang ilan sa mga cards ko at napaigtad naman siya dahil doon.

"Wait sir... I have a couple of other cards here but I don't know if it can cater the amount that we spent but I can assure you that we can pay'' I said halatang kinakabahan I let go of my hand on his arm and started to pull every card from my card holder and gave him all of my everyday use cards. My eyes were now watering my palms was already sweaty, and what if's were now clouding my mind what if di kami makakabayad, what if my parents will know about this, what if... what if and I started rambling to the waiter about my cards.

"The blue one sir has, I don't know 20K and the red one has about 30K and-"

"It's already paid Eury" At napatingin naman ako kay Bryson na ma luha luha and because of what he said.

"W-what?... I thought na" I said to him "I thought na hindi tayo makakabayad!" inis kong sabi sa kanya and he raised one of his eyebrows at me and dumilim ang kanyang mukha I saw how he clenched his fist.

"Mr. Saavedra is everything okay here?" tanong ng maitre d na kakarating lang and glanced sa mga nakalatag na cards sa lamesa at halatang nagulat. At hinay hinay ko namang kinuha ang mga iyon at binalik sa card holder ko.

Wait ano? Saavedra? Sa pag kakaalam ko Ty ang last name ni Bryson!.

"I can pay for anything, Eury" He said to me, my diing sabi niya his voice booming with dominance. His stares were leaving holes through my body kaya napa iwas ako ng tingin sa kanya I bowed my head and played with my fingers under the table.

He was insulted with the way I acted.
