"Hi, Gil," I greeted her first before gulping.

I hope to not hear crickets.

"Joshua. . . Hello." I nearly gasp when I heard her voice.

Hindi ko naman 'to first time pagdating sa tawagan, but why am I so nervouse with talking to her on the phone?

"Thank you for. . . Uh-greeting me."

"It's just fine," she replied with a breathy voice that sounds really sexy.

Gillian, I didn't know you had such a sexy and sleepy voice at the same time.

"Yeah, stud muffin," I joked using her endearment for me.

Ang saya ko nang makita ko 'yon. It's her first messages to me and. . . She called me that freaking nickname.

It was cute, and I was not.

"You're thinking out loud, stud muffin." She laughed.

And I don't know how to response with that laugh. I was speechless.

"Tumawa ka." I was flabbergasted.

"Tumawa ako." And you just. . . Laugh again at me.

"I thought you're a shy being, Gil."

"Definitely not. There is always a difference between being shy and being an introvert."

"Right." I nodded in the air, thinking that she could see me.

"Happy birthday, Josh. I hope it's worth it being the last to greet you." I could hear the smile on her lips while talking.

"Ikaw ang last, and because of that. . . Hindi ko 'to makakalimutan." I also smiled, looking like an idiot.

"Hmm. . . I'm already sleepy, I'm very sorry to disturb you, Josh."

"It's fine, it's worth it. Have a good night, Gillian."

"I wish you the best."

And you're the best, Gil.
