Callum

I was wearing a brown turtle neck along side a blazer at the dinner table. I was actually waiting for Claudio, pretending that an hour passed by, I kept ordering juice and bread until Claudio arrives.

"Hey, sorry I came late" A voice spoke as he sat down.

"Kanina ka pa dito? Sana hindi kita pinahintay ng ganiyan katagal" Claudio clears his throat as Callum smiled

"Okay lang, kanina ka pa busy so I think this is a good thing para sa pahinga mo" Callum says as Claudio sighed.

Callum was fiddling with his hands, not knowing kung ano gagawin next. He was too focused sa suot ni Claudio.

A black turtle neck with his Rolex showing. Not to mention his chest was overpowering and his tight jeans which made Callum blush when he first walked in the restaurant.

"So, oorder na ba tayo?" Claudio asks.

"Fine with me" He smiled.

Pero a ring was made sa cellphone nito as Claudio furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Tanong ni Callum.

"It's Lucas, he said he reserved a table daw" Claudio eyed him.

Claudio thought about it and decided to ignore the phone.

"Well, puntahan mo!" Alok ni Callum as Claudio furrowed.

"But it's our night, nagreserve ako para sa atin ito" Claudio said as Callum laughs

"Sir, this is Lucas we are talking about. You can't just deny his dinner offer" Callum calms as his palms slowly forms into a fist under the table.

"Pero Callum-"

"Just... Go, please. Inaantay ka na ng... Boyfriend mo" Callum never imagined saying that.

Claudio knew how adamant Callum speaks with his tone like that. And so, he left, without saying another word.

Callum on the other hand, tried to ease himself from the tension as he just sat there, with tears brimming down his cheeks.

"Okay ka lang ba iho?" An elderly voice spoke as he looks up.

"A-Aling Seli? Ano ginagawa mo dito?" Callum asks as she sat down.

"Pumunta ako dito para kakain din sana pero nakita kitang may kasama dito kanina, asan siya?" She look around.

"She left Aling Seli. Pumunta siya kay Lucas" He looks down

"Iho" Aling Seli had sincerity in her voice.

"Eh, okay lang naman eh. Probably it was for a meeting or a conference or... Something" Callum looked away as Aling Seli held his hand.

"Huwag mong kalimutan na ang galit ay dahilan sa isang sitwasyong kailangan niyong maghihiwalay upang mananahimik na ang galit ng puso" She said.

"What are you saying?" Callum whispered.

"Huwag na huwag kang magpadala sa galit mo, Callum. Tandaan mo, isa kang mabuti tao na may gintong puso" She smiled as Callum faintly smiles.

"Salamat"

Lucas

I was back at tita's home as I rested after a long day. The dinner was fine and tiring though! Pero mabuti na nadiyan si Claudio, we even slip notes para mag-uusap kami haha.

"Did you enjoy the dinner ba?" Olivia asks her dear nephew.

"Yes I did tita. Pero yung modo ni Claudio tita, maybe I went a bit too early sa aming pagkikita" Lucas squinted.
