Dopamine // MIKHAIAH

Chapter 11: Just 'friends'

Aiah's POV

A month had passed since nung branch opening. A month had passed na rin mula nung lumabas yung girls with Mikha. Nahihiya pa din ako everytime naalala ko kasi Jho showed me yung photo nung super wasted na ako. Hindi naman yun yung first pero kasi nahiya rin ako kay Miks, I heard siya yung nag uwi sa akin. I was totally blacked out that night and as in wala talaga akong maalala after I went to the bathroom.

The next day din pala nun, Mikha followed me sa IG, super cute ng stories niya with our group pic from that night. Another one was shots niya from Dopamine with caption 'one of the best cafes in town' then she continued another photo of the three of us with Jho and the caption was '...and behind its success are these superb & amazing girls. u both are an inspiration' Super sweet.

So speaking of Mikha, she started working again sa company nila. As promised talagang she managed to share to me yung life story niya. Lowkey lang pala talaga si Miks pero sobrang big time pala ng family niya, sabi ko why I didn't realize agad at first eh last name pa lang tunog mayaman na.

Dahil family tradition na din na pasa pasa from generation to generation yung company, 1st year highschool pa lang daw siya, trained na siya dahil among the siblings siya daw talaga yung nakitaan ng potential.

Since inspiration talaga niya mommy niya she really worked hard to make her proud. Kaso yun nga nung namatay siya, that's when everything started to crumble, doon nawala na yung respect niya sa dad niya, walwal kung walwal, she had on and off relationships with guys and then last nga was a girl, si Denise, na talagang naging worse distraction niya, kaya she moved back to Cebu to recover with her grandparents sa side ng mom niya until recently nga na after one whole year being aloof and cutting off all connections niya dito sa Manila, she decided to go back, which is yung day nga na nakasabay ko siya pabalik.

So far, I am now in the most peaceful era of my life. Super naging busy yung team ng Dopamine sa planning ng branch expansions and renovations. Then may bago kaming team in charge for product development and grabe sobrang effective nila. The cafe is really booming kahit yung sa Cebu. Tinatanong ng family ko kelan daw ako babalik, pero Jho suggested na dito na daw muna ako kasi she needs support here.

Balik tayo kay Mikha, I'm happy and contented with what we have. Ano ba kami? We're more than friends but less than lovers. Despite the busy schedules, we always have time to talk and we go out pag may chance, as friends.

I don't know how that worked for me pero as what I've said nasa stage ako ng life ko na all I want is nothing but peace kaya what comes, will come and what goes, will go. Mahirap pag pinipilit ang isang bagay.

Pero to be honest, I miss her. I mean, I had many nights na I missed the 'hot stuff'. As what I've said, 'friends' lang kami. And of course it would be super weird if I tell her na I miss it. We never talked about it ever since, anyway. I don't know if iwas siya or talagang busy lang pero we never had an 'alone' moment since our last.

Kaya nga last night, I felt... sexually frustrated. I touched myself and thought of her pero it didn't feel right, I mean it's not the same of course. Kumbaga sa food, ibang lasa, hindi masarap, eme. Kaya lalo lang akong na frustrate!!!

I miss her lips on mine, her touches, her skin touching mine. I miss everything about her.
