Neve: Master? Milliebells? Gising na ba kayo? May aaminin ako...
Milly: Master's sleeping pa, but 👀 What is it? I smell 🍵 👀
Neve: Si Ollie kasi, tinanong ako kung pwede kami mag-date.
Milly: Ugh. Knew it. That boy. Always so obvious. And so quick to act ha! Kaya pala laging nasa IG 🙄😂 Lemme guess. You rejected him no!
Neve: 😓 'Di ba maling makipag-date sa iba habang confused ka pa?
Milly: Confused ka where? You don't know if you like him back?
Neve: Oo... saka 'di ko rin alam kung ano ba feelings ko para kay Lorenzo. Nalilito ako.
Milly: Hahaha sobre. Jk 👀 Nev Nev Nev, don't overthink this. You're not going to officially date Ollie naman. You only agreed to go out with him. Exploring while you're confused can very well help you figure out your feelings. Just settle the score with Ollie. Be honest where you stand. Did you tell him there's someone else?
Neve: Oo. Kanina nung kumain kami ng breakfast. Sabi ko may crush akong iba.
Milly: And?
Neve: Nagtanong siya kung may balak daw ba akong maging boyfriend 'yon? Sabi ko, wala.
Milly: Andddd?
Neve: Tapos nagtanong siya kung kamusta ako kapag siya kasama ko. Sabi ko, comfy naman. Tapos hayun na. Sabi niya, crush pa lang naman daw e at wala naman daw commitment at plans. We can try daw. 'Di na 'ko nakahindi kasi may point siya. Saka... ang sama ko rito... pero at that time, huhu, naisip ko. Baka makatulong din 'yon para mawala crush ko kay Lorenzo. Huhu ang sama-sama ko. Ang user ko.
Milly: Haha easy, Nev. Just continue to be honest with Ollie and see how it pans out. I'm sure you can find a fix for this.
Neve: Nagi-guilty ako. Ang user ko talaga doon ☹️
Milly: Then tell him about the last part na lang? Apologize once and for all so you can get it out of your system? Kesa naman you're dwelling on it, di ba? It's gonna put a strain pa sa friendship nyo.
