"I got dragged again!" I said, pissed. "You missed me, Titus?"

"Tss. I saw the sea and I felt the urge of dragging you there and just—drown you," he said. His voice was so calm, just like how the sea drenches the sand.

"Where have you been?" he asked while pathing me with his eyes from head to toe.

"Obviously, Hongkong Disney Land." I almost sound bored by the prospect. I was wearing a mickey mouse dress and led lights wrist bands.

"You look—" he paused to take a deep breath. "Cute." My heart started to race and my hands started to shake.

Did he just compliment me? "You look like a lost cutie mouse," he added, making my smile instantly fade. What would I expect? It was Titus. He never complimented people.

Ace
I wasn't able to enjoy my disney land tour! Kasalanan mo 'to!

Titus Solis
Mauulit mo pa naman 'yon, eh.

Besides, hanalulu is great, right?

Ace
First will always be the best. You know that?

Hawaii 'yon? Maganda naman kaso  nga nagra-rides ako!

Titus Solis
Ulitin mo na lang.

Ace
Ayoko nga!

Titus Solis
Ayaw mo? Sasamahan na sana kita. Kaso siyempre, hindi kita pipilitin kung ayaw mo.

Ace
Ayoko nga.

Ayoko nga—na hindi ulitin!

Titus Solis
Tss.
