Caitlin POV
Naglakad ako na binabagtas ang manipis na elevated na semento sa park na parang bata habang nakahawak sa kamay ko si Bea umaalalay.
"I didn't expect you to invite me to a children's park. Healing your inner childhood?"
"I guess so wala kang choice kung di samahan yung trip ko."
"I'm not complaining though."
Bea was the first to try the slide she insisted para masure niya daw na safe. O diba independent woman ako for the longest time pero lakas makababae ng app na to.
Sumenyas na sakin si Bea na umakyat na ko at itry habang inaantay niya ko sa dulo ng slide. Medyo madulas pala kaya dumiretso ako sa bisig niya sa dulo nito. Nakakatunaw tumingin to habang nakayakap sakin nahiya tuloy ako at tinago ko na lang ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya.
Pinaupo niya na ko sa swing at inistart itulak ito.
"By the way, how do you feel about being complimented that is another thing pala that we often say to our clients."
"Kung ako lang ah di ko masyado prefer yung panay puri nakakaumay. Yan nga reason kaya tamad ako makipagdate."
"That's acceptable too much is OA din ano? Noted. Gusto ko din naman itailor made yung actions ko sa preference mo as my client. Well to any client naman."
Bumaba na ko sa swing at dumako kami sa see saw.
"True I mean oo masarap marinig na sabihan kang maganda and all that pero yun lang ba talaga ang pwedeng pansinin sakin?"
"Well isa naman talaga yun sa first impression ng makakakita sayo. You are really beautiful. I mean anyone with eyes would wanna get to know you for that very reason."
"So example hindi kita hinire would you date me just because maganda ako?"
"Well sexy ka din naman. But- the 2nd 3rd dates and so forth I would date you for your mind. You're not a boring date. It might sound offensive to some pag boring ang perception sayo but it is what it is."
"Haay yang mga ganyan ang gusto kong marinig too bad I just hired you no? You are telling me all these things to make me feel good."
"I am glad you feel that way. I always believe women should always feel appreciated in every single way. Yan actually nagustuhan kong experience when I took this job it kept me going despite having to keep the truth all the time. The fantasy image of a perfect partner gives a smile on a woman's face so I'll take it."
Dumako na kami sa malaking swing where we can swing na magkatabi. I felt her drape her arm around me. I mean I did permit her to be touchy with me kaya dapat masanay habang yung kabilang kamay niya nakahawak dun sa handle malapit sa kanya.
"You wanna know the best part? Some clients I have serviced to have lost their confidence in themselves and whenever I am able to build that back up I feel I have accomplished something kahit na madaming bad reviews ang app from the male population. I mean di lang naman bi at femmes ang nagtatry ng app namin meron ding mga straight. And kung through us nila nafifeel yung pag-aalaga at appreciation na dapat nakukuha nila sa mga lalake why not diba? It is totally part of the package."
Dahan dahan ako nagsuswing papunta sa kabilang side ng monkey bar.
"Alam mo ambaba lang nito nakatanghod ka pa jan."
"Kahit pa it's my job as your gf to catch you when you fall."
