It was so awkward. Lalo pa't may kasama kami. It's so uncomfortable for me. So damn uncomfortable.





They know me, but I don't know them at all. They are his cousins. No doubt. Their faces seem so serious and intimidating, but their personalities tell me otherwise.





Pagkapasok ko ay agad silang nagpakilala sa'kin. The one who looks so intimidating yet so soft is Gilbert Enriquez. And the one who looks so pure and innocent but is flirty type is Lukas Enriquez. Pero mukha naman silang seryoso sa buhay.





And as time passes by, I'm getting a hang of their personalities. Even in just a span of time. Except for William. It still feels so awkward when he's around. Pero okay lang. He didn't say anything since earlier, so I guess it's okay.





30 minutes have passed since we left the house. Ang layo naman nang pupuntahan namin. I'm so hungry na kaya. I didn't have my morning coffee, though. Kaya tinext ko si kuya Vier at tinanong kung okay lang na bumili muna kami ng makakain sa malapit sa cafe. After I sent it, I didn't receive any response from him, but someone's phone rang. I thought it was my phone that was ringing, but it's not. It's William's phone.





He answered it, but I don't know who called him or what they are talking about. I guess he has his earpods on.





"Hello? Yeah?" I heard him answer.





It's so loud and clear, though.





"Ohh, okay. Did you tell Ashton already?"





"Okay. Just lead the way." And after that, I saw in my peripheral vision that he ended the call and slightly looked at me.





Okay?





I was leaning against the window with my eyes closed when I felt that we have stopped. Have we reached the destination already? But then my thoughts were wrong. We haven't arrived yet. We just stopped by a cafe. I guess kuya Vier was the one who was calling William a while ago.
