After our dinner, I went upstairs and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth, and do my skincare. After that, I went to my bed.


 It was just a dinner, but I felt exhausted. Pakiramdam ko, nag-aadjust pa ang katawan ko sa bagong set-up.


I'm used to share my dinner with only the three of us. Most of the time, our dinner only consists of small talk.  However, dinner today was different. Bukod sa mas dumami kami, puno ang lamesa namin nang tawanan. Uncle Jojo made a lot of funny remarks, though some sounded inappropriate ngayong generation. 


 I can't find myself to fall asleep anytime soon, so I chose to check my Social Media. Bumungad sa'kin ang IG post ni Kira from the recent Paris Fashion Week, where she attended the Prada Fashion Show. She's so pretty on her black tube Prada dress.


I double-tapped my screen to heart her photo before I slid into my DMs to chat her. 


makisigkim: I am alive. 


It surprised me when I saw her typing her message. On normal days, she will reply hours later or worse, a day later. It rarely happens though. Kapag lang sobrang packed ng schedule niya. 


Maybe she's resting right now. 


akirachantal: congrats! you made it!


akirachantal: is there gwapo ba? I HOPE MERON 


Napa-isip ako. I was about to tell her na wala, but Sid's image suddenly popped out on my head. My lips formed a smile when I thought of teasing her. 


makisigkim: Hmm...


I saw Kira typing, which made me anticipated. I laughed when I read her reply. 


akirachantal: OH MY GOD, YOU HESITATED!


akirachantal: WHO IS THIS GUY? OH MY GOD ANG BILIS HA 


akirachantal: WALA PANG ONE DAY?! I KNEW IT! 


I rolled my eyes, even if she cannot see me. She's overreacting again. 


makisigkim: Lol. 


makisigkim: My neighbor is quite good looking. But that was it. 


I am not lying. Objectively speaking, he's really good looking. I had a good enough look at him earlier, noong pumunta siya at umupo sa harap ko. 


He's tall, tanned, and slim. His dark brown hair was disheveled. He has round eyes, pointed nose, and plump lips. He was just wearing a mustard yellow and blue two-toned sleeveless and a blue checkered shorts, yet nadala pa rin niya 'to. 


He's good looking, but it doesn't mean that I am interested.
