Neve: Master? Milliebells? Gising na ba kayo?
1:29 PM
Neve: May sasabihin sana ako kaso mga tulog pa kayo. Tsk.
2:44 PM
Milly: Hahaha!! I am now!! Waddup?
Neve: Wow. Hapon na ah?
Milly: Haha. Yeah. I partied last night.
Neve: Si Master? Tulog pa?
Milly: Oh, she's not here. She went out with Nixon last night. Baka tonight pa umuwi 'yon, not sure.
Neve: Oh! Oki! Kwento ko na ba or hintayin natin siya?
Milly: Spill the tea na! Master can backread na lang 😂 Haha what's up ba?
Neve: Oki, wait... Ano... Kasi... Kami na... Pero wala namang sobre... so far...
Milly: Srsly? How did that happen? 😳 I mean, I know he's been making an effort to be with you for months but I wanna know how you agreed to this? I thought you're gonna wait some more?
Neve: 😅😅😅 'Di ba pabalik-balik siya rito saka sa Korea kasi may inaasikaso siyang business do'n? Tapos hayun. Yung last na uwi niya rito, dito siya sa bahay dumiretso. Straight from the airport. Buti nga wala si Mama, e.
Milly: Tapos?
Neve: Nag-aaya for breakfast lang naman. Wala naman 'yon sa plano, pero kasi no'ng nakita ko siya, naisip ko na ayoko na sana patagalin at magpaligaw pa? 😅 Tinanong ko lang siya kung ano ba magbabago kung magiging kami? Tapos... hayun na.
Milly: So ano nga ba magbabago? 😂
Neve: Wala naman daw? Mas may freedom lang kami na makipagkita sa isa't isa kahit walang dahilan? Basta. Gano'n.
Milly: 😏😏 Are you happy naman ba?
Neve: 🥺🥺🥺 Parang sasabog yata puso ko sa rami nang nararamdaman ko pero oo naman, masaya naman ako. Kami. Ganito pala yung feeling.
Milly: 😌 That's all that matters to me. I take it this will be a secret relationship?
Neve: Pinapili niya ako, e. Ako ang nagsabi na itago na lang namin. Ayoko maging public. Ayoko makisali sa relasyon namin yung mga taong 'di naman talaga kami kilala o nakakasama 😅
Milly: Good decision! So happy for you, Nev! You and Master are both going to be busy with your guys na. Don't forget me ha!!
Neve: Ikaw pa ba ang makakalimutan ko? E alam mo naman na ikaw madalas ko takbuhan sa ganito 🥹
Milly: Aww. Love you too! Basta. Let me know na lang if we're all hanging out together. I'm gonna bring a guy with me so I don't look kawawa.
Neve: Friend naman siguro 'yan 'no?
Milly: Pwede. Pwedeng hindi 😂
Neve: Haist. Play girl pa rin 🥲
Milly: Hahaha yeah, you two are and have settled down but don't expect it from me.
Neve: 🙃 'Di mo sure.
Milly: 🙃 I love you, but no. Hahaha.
Neve: Sigi na nga. You win. Pero one day, 'pag dumating, 'wag mong itulak palayo ha?
Milly: 😂😂 Sure. I'll kick him to Mars na lang.
Neve: 🤦🏻♀️ Miss you. Miss ko na kayo. Kita naman ulit tayo soon bago kami mag-shoot ulit?
Milly: Sure! Next weekend?
Neve: Oki!! Question pala. Tingin mo ba dapat ko i-inform si Ollie?
Milly: Up to you. You're not obligated to inform anyone of anything naman, lalo na you've made it clear months ago where you two stand.
Neve: 'Di ko alam pano ibi-bring up kasi. Nahihiya ako. Baka wala na lang sa kanya tapos ako itong feeling na 'di pa rin maka-move on? Baka isipin niya na iniisip kong may gusto pa rin siya sa 'kin?
Milly: Hahaha. And she's back! The #overthinkerPH Don't worry about Ollie. Tell you what - I'm meeting him and Spiro tonight. Warehouse. Why don't you join us na lang?
Neve: May work tomorrow, Milliebells.
Milly: Iuuwi kita, don't worry.
Neve: 🤔 Haist! Sigi na nga. Better now than never. Pero 'wag tayo papagabi masyado ah?
