Chapter 6 - Pink background with feathers

Ace's POV

"Jeffrey Reyes?" I said to the tall and handsome man that's standing and smiling in front of me.

"Oo, ako nga, Martin Ace." nakangiti niyang bati.

So ito pala si Jeffrey, I mean si Kuya Jeffrey since he's older than me, I assume, and I was talking to him casually like kasing edad ko lang siya! Nakakahiya!

"I'm sorry, I didn't know!" nahihiya kong sinabi.

"No, It's okay, Ace. Nice to meet you in person."

"Nice to meet you too, Kuya Jeffrey!"

"'Wag mo na ako tawaging kuya because I'll feel a lot older than I already am."

"Ilang taon na po ba kayo?"

"Me? I'm 32." He said then he laughed.

What! He looks way younger than a 32 year-old man! He looks like he's in late 20s though.

"Kuya Jeff! Andito ka na pala. You missed the show kanina! You're always late kasi!" hirit ni Tara while she was holding Jeffrey's elbow like a 5 year-old kid.

"I'm so sorry! Alam mo naman na marami akong tinatapos." natatawang sinabi ni Jeffrey.

"Anyway, since you're here, nakilala mo na naman siguro si Ace?" Tara asked.

"Yes we did!" He smiled and tapped Tara's head so light and delicate.

As in pag tiningnan mo talaga siya, para siyang yaoi main lead character... almost like a "Seme" for me... I mean not for me though but for another person. He's very "shippable". Haha!

"By the way, nakapag libot na ba kayong dalawa?" Jeffrey asked.

"Yes, kuya. How 'bout you, Ace? May nabili ka ba?" Tara asked and smiled at me.

I showed her the "Bad Boy Musashi" manga, "Yes, I was planning on buying this since sinabi ni Jeffrey na maganda daw 'to."

"Yes! A plus for me! I won't spoil you pero it's really good and funny!" Tara said.

After I purchased the manga, we went out of the expo since tapos na ang event and have decided to go home, but Jeffrey insisted na gusto niya kami ilibre ng dinner.

Ayoko sana sumama since mas gusto ko basahin 'yung "Bad Boy Musashi", but since nakakahiya, pumayag na lang din ako. It's just a short dinner, I think.

Since we're at the mall already, pumunta kami sa isang eat-all-you-can diner. I guess this won't be a short dinner?

As soon as nakapasok na kami and nakaporma na kami sa aming table, we've decided na kumuha na ng food sa serving area. We went on our separate ways while naghahanap kami ng gusto naming kainin.

I was so focused sa mga ulam since I'm already hungry. Namimili ako if either kare-kare or sinigang ang kukunin ko since I can only choose one dahil either way, mabubusog na ako, but then mas pinili ko na lang ang kare-kare so that I can partner it with the crispy bagnet later. While I was waiting for the person beside me na kumuha ng serving ng kare-kare for his plate, hindi ko napansin na si Jeffrey pala ang nasa tabi ko.
