Neve: Lorenzo? May tanong sana ako. For work lang. Sa tingin mo? Bakit nagloloko ang mga lalaki?
Lorenzo: Sexual relationship
Neve: 😨
Lorenzo: Haha You asked
Neve: Seryosong sagot kasi.
Lorenzo: I'm serious though
Neve: Gano'n? 🤔 Bakit sa tingin mo papayag ang babae makipag-no-strings-attached kung gano'n?
Lorenzo: Don't know Can be many reasons. Can be no reason at all
Neve: Ikaw? Sa tingin mo?
Lorenzo: Sexual relationships haha
Neve: Hays 😓
Lorenzo: Haha it's true
Neve: Bakit 'yan? 😅
Lorenzo: It feels good, that's why All physical. No emotions and responsibilities attached
Neve: Talaga ba? Hays. Paano ko ba maiintindihan yung character kong querida nito 😨😰😥 Ang hirap isulat nang detalyado kung hindi ko naiintindihan nang buo yung pagkatao. Bakit kasi rom-com daw pero dapat mahilig sa pagiging querida yung bida? 🥹
Lorenzo: Neve, slow down You're giving me the wrong idea here You're not asking me to help you understand what sex is, right?
Neve: Hindi!!
Lorenzo: Alright Just be clearer to me I'm drunk And I might misunderstand you
Lorenzo: For your question There's another reason Love She fell for a married man But that's bullshit Who'd fall for a married man?
Neve: Mali nga 'yon 🥲
Lorenzo: My mom that's who Say that to my mom lol
Neve: Huh?
Lorenzo: So, you need perspective on being a kept woman?
Neve: Sana. Para sa work.
Lorenzo: I know a lot of those women. Hang out with me and you'll see how nasty the reality is
Neve: Gagawin mo 'kong kabit mo???
Lorenzo: What Haha no When did I say that
Neve: Sabi mo hang out with you kasi 😅
Lorenzo: Where are you going with that pretty little head, babe You won't even say yes to that even if I offer you a proposition
Neve: Kaya nga 😕
Lorenzo: I meant come out and see me I'll show you the world of the nasty and greedy
Neve: 😅 'Di na siguro. Lasing ka rin at baka dapat 'di na kita ginugulo muna. Hanap na lang ako ng ibang paraan.
Lorenzo: My smart girl
Neve: 'Yan na naman po siya 😬 Saka anong oras na, umiinom ka pa. 'Wag ka na masyado uminom ha. Magpahinga na rin kagad at sigurado may pasok ka pa bukas.
1:12 AM
Lorenzo: You're unbelievable How can you even care for someone you've never met like that?
Neve: Gano'n naman kasi dapat, 'di ba. Dapat lagi tayong may malasakit sa isa't isa, kahit hindi tayo totoong magkakakilala.
