Hindi ako makatingin ng diretso sa mata ni Lorenzo matapos kong malaman na girlfriend pala ng prosecutor nila na dito rin ang opisina sa floor na ito ang babaeng nakasalubong ko kanina. Aba malay ko ba! Tsaka hindi ko naman alam na may ibang opisina pa pala dito!

"Now that my name's already cleared. Bakit ka nagpunta dito?" he asked while playing with the ribbon on my tank top.
"Bakit? Bawal ba?" matapang kong tanong sa kaniya.
Narinig ko ang mahinang tawa niya. "Wala naman akong sinabi. It's just rare for you to come at my office. It's either may kailangan ka o magagalit ka." natatawang saad niya.
I glared at him. "What? Ang sama ng tingin mo sa'kin."
"That was just based on my experience. So bakit nga?" he curiously asked.
Tinignan ko siya ng maiigi. Uh! Paano ko aamining gusto ko siyang makasama ngayong araw? Paano ko sasabihing gusto kong manood ng movie kasama siya, kumain sa restaurant, at gawin ang mga bagay na ni minsan hindi namin nagawa. Paano?
"Alam ko na." he suddenly said.
I arched my brow. "What?"
"You missed me." he smiled so proudly.
"You're that confident, huh? Ang kapal ng mukha mo." I rolled my eyes at him.
"So bakit nga?" He seemed like he knew it but he was just waiting for me to finally say it.
"Fine.." I heaved a sigh. "Let's go on a date." I bit my lip after saying that.
