Callum

It has been days, and I was getting comfortable around Claudio now. Pero, wala kaming label eh. That's the thing, I've wanted to ask him that, pero we just kissed, nothing else. Pero the way he spoke to me lang is... Boyfriend material.

Callum and Claudio were laughing on a joke he just told kanina.

"Not gonna lie ha, that was pretty good lang sa akin" Claudio complimented.

"Oh come on sir, nagbigay ako effort jan oh" He pouts.

"Diba sabi ko sa iyo, just call me Claudio kahit nasa trabaho tayo" Claudio says.

"Kahit na, rule number 2 told me to respect you as my superior and will always be above me" Callum smiled

"I said it, literally and figuratively" he winks as Callum chokes.

"Nakakahiya kung paano mo ako hinatid ha" He remembers the time Claudio dropped Callum to his house.

Apparently, there was a visible hickey that made Santi wail.

"Santi is the best shipper though" He giggles.

"You're being mean, I don't like you" Tampo nito.

"And the person who doesn't like me is also the same person na pleaded me that I should fuck him until he sees stars" Callum's jaw drops.

"I-"

A knock was then heard as Lucas peeps. Claudio clears his throat as lumayo si Callum from where he sat.

"Lucas, pasok" Aya ni Claudio

"Oh si Callum hinahanap ko" Lucas says as Callum faces him.

"Kailangan namin mag-usap kasi" Claudio nodded as he gestured Callum to just follow him.

They were in the meeting room, only just the two of them.

"Ano po ang kailangan Mr. Mendez?" Callum asks as Lucas slid the file on the table.

"What's this?" Callum furrowed.

"Just open it" Callum then opens the file, containing his information. And Lucas' too.

"A-ano-"

"Somehow Philip mistook you as me and decided to take your wine glass instead of mine that night of the party" Lucas says as Callum was somehow confused parin.

"Pero noong tinest ni tita yung sample, it was yours na immediately na detect"

"Pero, tita then noticed the similarities between us. The same origin, same blood type, same... Features" He trailed.

"Callum, you don't know how big of a deal this is!" Lucas says as he smiled.

"We're-"

"Twins?" Callum looks at him as Lucas happily nods.

"I don't understand. Si Felicia lang naging kapatid ko and that's that. We raised ourselves" he says.

"Yan nga eh, sabi ni tita, mom had twins daw before my other siblings. Nawala daw yung isa kong kapid sa hospital. And to find out, it was you"

Callum still wasn't convinced, not until a door was opened.

"Wait, you guys are related?" Claudio asks as Lucas proudly nods.

"Indeed it is, no wonder magkamukha kami. He was my long lost twin" Claudio looks at Callum, seemingly lost.

"Is it true, Mr. Hernandez?" Claudio asks as Callum sighed and nod.

"It is sir" Callum said as Claudio furrowed.

"Can I have a talk with Lucas muna?" He asks softly as Callum eyes them.
