The Free Dinner Reward
Friday
Toff and I were about to go to the FX Terminal bound home. Pero nagyaya pa siya na bumili sa Dairy Queen. I joked na ilibre niya ko. Pumayag naman. He ordered chocolate almonds medium for two. He even thought it's 99 pesos each. And he was willing to pay that much huh? 198 pesos din yun. But he was looking onto a different flavor which has a different pricelist. But then, it's a relieve na mas mura lang yung inorder niya which costed him 158 pesos in all. This is something new to me. When Des recently confirmed that Toff is not what we think he is (because of his kind of feminine attitude, sometimes we tend to think he's sort of gay). Now I am slowly seeing Toff's masculine's side. He's private. And sweet to the times you least expect it. We're making progress. So we're almost exchanging personal information but not quite.
Toff: "Nagkita na kayo ng boyfriend mo?"
Me: "Hindi pa rin."
Toff: "Sabi sayo walang forever eh. Nako. May ibang babae na yan."
Me: "Hmm... Ewan. Bahala sya. Okay lang."
Toff: "Okay lang... Wag ka! I'm sure mabaliw baliw ka. Baka hindi ka na namin makausap ulit ng buong taon."
Me: "Haha. Grabe ka."
Toff: "First boyfriend mo pa naman ata yun."
Me: "Uh... No."
Toff: "Ha? Hindi? Eh pang ilan na sya?"
Me: "Pangatlo."
Toff: "Oh? Sino yung una?"
Me: "Taga Bambang. Baka kilala mo."
Toff: "Teka... Isipin ko. Si Edmer?"
Me: "Hahaha. Hindi."
Toff: "Ah.. Yung mahaba na ngayon yung buhok na payat?"
Me: "Uh huh. Na nagpa straight na."
Toff: "Laging naka bonnet."
Me: "(Natatawa ko sa saktong saktong deskripsyon ni Toff) Oo."
Toff: "Siya lang kasi naisip kong maayos dun. Bukod kay Empoy na kulot naman (MJ). Ah.. so siya pala. Naging boyfriend mo pala yun. Ano na nga ulit pangalan nun?"
Me: "(Umiwas na sagutin kung anong pangalan ni ex) Si Empoy? Si MJ? Ah... Oo. Yung boyfriend ni Ariel. (tried to change the topic)"
Toff: "Kim. Kim no?"
Me: "Yep. Kim. (Hindi ba siya nag introduce sa pangalang Warren? Kim pala talaga tawag sa kanya ng mga outsiders)."
Toff: "Nice. Eh sino naman yung pangalawa. Teka alam ko na mga tipo mo. Mga kulang sa nutrisyon. Siguro katulad din yan nung iba no?"
Me: "Haha. Oo. Uh. Di mo na yun kilala. Mahirap na idescribe. "
Toff: "Ano walang background sa buhay? Walang identification?"
Me: "Hmmm.. Basta taga San Beda siya noon. Si Kim din naman taga San Beda."
Toff: "Sosyal. Taga Beda."
Toff is like EJ when it comes to earphones. Naiwan kasi ni Toff yung kanya sa bag ni Elsha. And earphones has a big significance to him. As Elsha described it when she messaged Toff, she said, "Nasakin yung kalahati ng kaluluwa mo."
Tumawag siya sa bahay nila saglit. Sabi niya may something daw na nangyayari. Hindi pa niya sinabi. Malalaman ko rin naman daw sa susunod na mga araw.
