A month and a half is fine without Storm. I mean, ilang taon nga kaming hindi nagkita eh so sanay na talaga ako.
The last time I saw Storm was when he visited my shop to give me sorry gifts. Bears, flowers and chocolates. I would just accept them and thank him with a stoic and cold expression. Napuno na nga ng bahay ko ng mga stuffed toys. Yung mga chocolates naman pinakain ko sa mga anak ko tapos yung flowers nilalagay ko sa mga vase.
"Ma'am, Mrs. Evangelista is outside." sabi ni Heather. Heather was still my trustworthy assistant. She already had a husband and three adorable kids.
"Tell her that I'll be out in a second." I said. She nodded before exiting my office. I gathered my things and left my office.
I saw Blair sitting on the sofa outside sipping chocolate shake while reading a magazine. "Hey. Let's go?" I said. She stood up and we both left my shop.
"So, kamusta naman ang travelling?" I asked her.
"Tiring but worth it." She answered with a shrug.
Blair was a model. She would go around places for fashion events. Nakakatuwa nga yun because she is known internationally. Nakakaproud din bilang bestfriend.
"Eh ikaw? Kamusta kayo ni Storm?" she asked.
"Ayun, we kind of parted ways." I answered. She just nodded. Blair didn't ask anymore. Maybe because she felt that I didn't want to talk about anything related to Storm or Storm himself.
"Kayo ni Matthew?" I asked. She looked at me with a 'duh' face.
"Walang kami ni Matthew." she said and she threw her bag inside the car and we both slid in.
"Wala pa." Sabi ko. She just rolled her eyes at me bago niya pinaandar ang sasakyan. I buckled my seat belt while giggling.
"Where to?" I asked her as she drove. I opened the stereo and Britney Spears was singing how pretty Iggy and her was.
"Somewhere fun. Shopping I guess?" She answered. I sneered at her.
"No shopping. Nakakapagod kaya." I said.
"Where to then?" She asked me as she made a U-turn.
I smiled when I thought of the place we were about to go.

"I'm excited!" I exclaimed. I pulled Blair inside and we roamed around the place.
Enchanted Kingdom was a big place. Storm and I used to go here when we were kids. Kasama namin lagi ang parents namin ofcourse.
"This is my first time being here." Blair said as she looked around the place. I just smiled.
We went on most of the rides. Buti na nga lang at hindi masyadong mahaba ang pila and buti na lang we weren't wearing dresses and heels. Mahirap siguro ang sumakay ng rides at pumila ng pagkahaba haba kapag nakaheels.
"My feet hurt." Reklamo ni Blair. We were at the cafeteria or whatever you call this place. Basta it had food stalls and a roof and a small stage infront.
I chewed on my pizza. "Yeah, me too. I'm tired." I replied. My eyes roamed around the place.
"Wait. Isn't that Matthew?" I held Blair's arm which was resting on the table. She looked at Matthew's direction and I looked there two. They were four tables away from us and he had a pretty girl beside him. They were talking and laughing while eating ice cream.
"Who's the girl?" I asked. Matthew leaned in and kissed the girl on the cheek. Ikinagulat naman yun nung babae and she blushed. Cute. But who is she?
"Excuse me, magrerestroom lang ako." Blair said and she walked away from the table. I looked at Matthew's table and the girl was now feeding Matthew a spoonful of ice cream.
I looked at the direction where Blair went off then back at Matthew. Huh. What is happening between the two?

We decided to go home after three rides. Pagod na kasi kami and Blair was going to drive pa. I offered na ako na lang ang magdridrive since she drove us here but she just shook her head. Malayo pa naman ito sa Manila.
"Guys are jerks." Blair suddenly said.
"Saan mo naman nakuha yan?" I asked while I twisted the cap on the bottle to close it.
"Somewhere." she said with a shrug.
"Okay? Who's the guy?" I asked her.
"He's an asshole." she just said. I just listened to her while she talked and talked about how guys are asses and jerks because they hurt girls and stuff.
Nang makarating kami ng bahay ni Blair, agad kaming bumaba.
"I'm sad. Let's change into pajama's and watch movies." she said. Tumango naman ako. We both went inside the house and I was surprised to see Matthew sitting on the couch with a pizza in his hand and a can of soda on the other.
"What are you doing here?" Blair asked Matthew.
"Chilling." Matthew answered.
"You can't chill here. Go away Matthew." she said then she walked towards Matthew. "Stand up and leave. I don't need you here. I have a visitor."
Matthew just glanced at me. "So? I could be your visitor too. Lagi naman din akong nandito and you seem to not mind naman ah." Matthew said then he took a bite from the pizza and chewed.
"Matthew. Leave. Please."
"No. I'm staying. Bakit ba ang init ng ulo mo?" Matthew.
"Matthew naman! Makinig ka na lang sakin pwede?!" Napatingin ako kay Blair nang bigla siyang sumigaw.
"Bakit ba ang init ng ulo mo? Ha?! Dati naman ayos lang sa'yo ang nandito ako. Hell, you even saw me naked while waiting for yo-"
"Matthew!" Blair shouted. "Please, just...just leave.."
Matthew stood up and left the house. Blair was just standing there. Here fists were balled and they were shaking. She was breathing furiosly.
"Uhm..Are you okay?" I asked her. Lalapit sana ako nang tumakbo siya pataas.
I sighed. Guess the movie marathon is cancelled then.
