BEAST in ME

PART 27

Congratulations Creamline for winning the game against Petrogazz in 3 sets. All the way na sana ang panalo hanggang Finals.

Pinaghandaan talaga nila ang laro lalo na last time ay natalo sila ng Petrogazz. Ganda ng bawi. It could have been a great finals game sana. Kaya lang maaga silang nagtagpo at laglalagan na agad.

Quality game pa naman lagi kapag Petrogazz at Creamline naglalaban. Ang lakas lang din talaga ni Van Sickle. Sana matuloy na masama siya sa Alas Pilipinas.

BEA POV

How will I describe this? Jia and I were having dinner together in a fancy restaurant as part of my reward. All expenses will be paid by the Under Armour, so generous of them. This is the "special day" with Jia that they are talking about.

I don't know what to feel and how to react being alone with her in the place right now. Ang ganda ng lugar, tahimik lang at hindi matao. Pero elegante siya.

Right now, I feel so awkward and uncomfortable. I think she felt the same way too. Because as far as I could think, it has been almost half an hour that we were together but no words have been spoken between us aside from Hi's and Hello's from the start.

It was just an awkward situation and I could not explain what was going on. I felt like we were both strangers and not minding each others business. We don't exist to each other.

I could not stand the silence. It is too quiet for my delight. Puro ingay lang ng kubyertos ang maririnig. Nagsimula na kasi kaming kumain.

BEA: "Ahmmm."

Trying to break the silence and get her attention. She looks at my direction.

BEA: "Thank you for taking this time for this special day. I know, this is so uncomfortable and awkward on your part and yet you are here. I felt so uncomfortable too."

Medyo nag-iba ang expression ng mukha niya. Hindi niya inasahan ang medyo pagkastraightforward ko. Hindi lang ako makatiis sa sobrang tahimik ng paligid pero ang ingay ng utak ko.

JIA: "Ahhh... I just didn't expect na it was you. I am sorry if you feel uncomfortable."

I caught her off guard. She was indeed surprised. But still, she remains calm as always.

BEA: "I am surprised when they told me about the reward. But I couldn't tell you because I do not have your number."

Second time around of being straightforward to her. It is now or never, I really need to confront her about it.

JIA: "About that one."

She was taken aback and her expression changes.

JIA: "I am sorry for giving you wrong numbers."

She admitted it. Maybe, she has no other options but to admit it since I already mentioned it. She was cornered already.

BEA: "Maybe, I was just too comfortable asking for your number. I mean, if you think about it, we are mere strangers."

Trying to make her feel less guilty of it.

JIA: "I am just out of my mind during those times that you ask for it. Kind of wrong timing, and honestly I usually don't give my number to anyone. I apologize for what I did."

BEA: "I am sorry for putting you in such a situation. I deeply apologize too for being insensitive."

JIA: "No. I really should be the one apologizing. In the first place, I owe you for helping me that night. And yet, I was not able to treat you well in return."
