Milly: Hey, Spirs. Are you awake yet?
Spiro: Gising na Balita
Milly: I should be the one asking that. Is Ollie with you pa?
Spiro: Haha oo tulog pa Senglot
Milly: Oh, good. I'm otw, btw. Here lang sa restau. I'm getting hangover food for you boys.
Spiro: Ano yan hahaha Hingi dispensa?
Milly: :( Do I need to apologize ba? You sent me away
Spiro: Kulit ng engineer mo eh Anong nangyari pagdating mo don?
Milly: Nothing, surprisingly. We watched a movie. Ate snacks. Made out. That's it. He's the same but I could feel how agitated he was. It's kinda showing in the way he touched me. But other than that, we're good.
Spiro: Ayos naman pala Kala ko nag-away na naman kayo
Milly: No, we're okay, but it's still weighing me down... how he's asking us to be exclusive. I know from the start this isn't his lifestyle naman and that he's not used to this, so I understand him a bit. I'm kinda torn between just letting him go completely so he can have his peace back or...
Spiro: Pagbibigyan mo?
Milly: Yeah... Idk... You were right naman. I haven't been with anybody else since we started but that's the thing, Spirs. What if I stopped wanting him after the thrill stops? Like, I want him now because we're not exclusive. Because he excites me. What if that stops once our options become more limited? Once siya na lang? What if magsawa ako?
Spiro: Pano kung hindi
Milly: Idk. It's too much of a risk and honestly, I don't wanna beat myself up over it. I might make stupid decisions. Enough about me. Are you doing good now? How are you feeling?
Spiro: Ayos naman na
Milly: Yenno, last night, I was thinking. If you're still in love with her, why don't you just try asking her to take you back?
Spiro: Di na dude Matagal na rin naman
Milly: Exactly. Matagal na but you're still hung up on her. She left coz you couldn't commit to her. Isn't that why she chose your cousin even tho she didn't love him? It's been years now. Maybe if you just try, you can commit now? You love her naman? I think... it's about time you stop punishing yourself, Spirs. It's not your fault you caught your mom in bed. And it's not your fault your dad's no longer here because of that. Between the two of us, you are more likely to commit coz you're actually in love. And you're not afraid. Just angry at yourself. If you'd just try... there's a chance you can stop hurting :(
