Friday.
6:40 PM.
Inside Lo's Benz.
On the way to the De Laurentiis Residence.
The light changes to green.
Thalissa:
Baba mo na phone mo, green light.
Thalissa:
Oh, sino na naman kaaway mo diyan? Naka-kunot noo mo.
Lo:
Just Hace being a pain in the ass.
Thalissa laughs.
Thalissa:
Ilang taon na ba kayong magkakilala nila Hace, Lai, at Everett?
Lo:
Since senior high school.
Thalissa:
Galing 'no, hindi na talaga kayo naghiwalay.
Lo:
Believe me, I tried. Harrison is like a fucking leech. I dare you to try and get rid of him. Impossible.
Thalissa:
Sus, akala mo hindi mo hahanap-hanapin 'yang sila Hace kapag nawala. Sa kanila ka rin naman tatakbo 'pag may nangyari.
Lo:
'Di rin.
Thalissa:
Seryoso! Akala mo ah, may alam din ako sa'yo. Alam kong iniimbita mo si Lai sa inyo para kumain minsan kasi di siya nakakakain ng lutong bahay na hindi sa restaurant. Walang time magluto. Eh kaladkarin din naman 'tong pinsan ko.
Lo:
Lai's a good guy. And he would have done that for me too anyway. How was your test?
Thalissa:
Okay lang naman, ngayon lang ata ako naging kampante sa math sa buong buhay ko. Nakatulong 'yung naturo mo. Akalain mo 'yon, may laman pala 'yang malaki mong ulo?
Lo slides his tongue into his inner cheek as he shakes his head.
Thalissa:
Malapit na ba tayo?
Lo:
Yeah, you ready?
The car turns the corner, going into a gated village.
Thalissa:
Recap nga.
Lo:
Sige. Where did we meet?
Thalissa:
Lai's birthday party. How long have we been dating?
Lo:
Two years, three months, and eight days.
Thali:
Yabang! Amputa.
Lo:
Mag-review ka kasi.
Thalissa:
Ah ganyanan, kala mo ah. Sige nga, ilang taon na si Lilo?
Lo:
Four.
Thalissa's brows furrow.
Thalissa:
Saan ako pinanganak?
Lo:
Manila, but they took you to Cebu as soon as you were allowed to board a plane.
Thalissa:
Ilan kapatid ko?
The engine stops.
Lo:
You're an only child.
Thalissa:
Birthday?
Lo:
October 23. Ano, wala nang mas hihirap pa diyan?
Thalissa:
Teka lang! 'Di ako magpapatalo, gago.
Thalissa seems too focused to notice how Lo clicks her seatbelt loose for her after sliding out of his.
Thalissa:
Alam ko na! 'Eto, gago. Imposible 'to.
Lo:
Okay, try me.
Thalissa:
Ilan na naging boyfriend ko?
Lo stares into her, his lips at an almost smile.
Thalissa's breath hitches.
Lo:
Isa.
Thalissa:
MALI! HAHA! Gago, mali ka!
Lo:
I'm not.
Thalissa:
Mas alam mo pa kaysa sa'kin? Wala pa—
Lo's tongue swipes over his bottom lip.
Lo:
—I'm not wrong.
Lo:
I'm your first boyfriend, Thalissa Grace.
