This or That?

Mikha's POV

Stacey and I had been dating for a few weeks, and we were finally going on our first official date. I was both excited and nervous. I wanted everything to be perfect kaya naman siya ang halos nasusunod sa lahat ng gagawin namin ngayong araw.

She decided to go to a cozy little restaurant in the heart of the city. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with soft lighting and gentle music playing in the background. 

As we sat down, I handed her a bouquet of flowers. "These are for you," I said, my eyes are now sparkling fore sure.

She was touched. "Thank you," she replied, taking the flowers and smelling them.

We ordered our food and spent the next hour chatting and laughing. Stacey was a great conversationalist, and she always knew how to make me smile kahit sa mga simpleng asar niya lang. She used to be so cold whenever I am around, hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit bigla siyang nagbago pagdating sa pakikitungo niya sa akin.

After dinner, we took a walk through the park. The night air was cool and refreshing, and the stars were twinkling brightly above.

"This is perfect," I said, taking Stacey's hand in mine. My friends should be proud of me right now.

She squeezed my hand. "I'm glad you're enjoying it. Hmm, Mikhs?" 

I met her eyes when she called my name. "Yes princess?"

"You're not into my ate Aiah naman, right?" she asked.

My heart skipped a beat

I hesitated, trying to find the right words. "She's just a friend." I laughed awkwardly. 

Stacey nodded understandingly. "It's okay to be confused. Sometimes, our hearts can be a bit complicated." she sighed. "But I'm glad you're not into her. Competitive pa naman ako." she jokingly added.
