Dating Alys Perez (PUBLISHED)

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

I have never worked so hard in my entire life.

"Baka naman ma overworked ka niyan?" Aya asked me while she was comfortably lying on my couch. Tsk. Pasalamat siya rest day niya ngayon. If I hadn't known better, iisipin kong buhay reyna si Aya. But since she works for my mother, I'm sure her work's hell, as well. Duh. She work's for my Mom. Do I need to expound?

Tahimik lang ako sa ginagawa kong pagmmeasure. Nandito ako sa old condo unit ko. It's mine to use naman. Regalo ni Dad sa akin 'to, e. I've checked with the management and I found out na hindi na pala nakatira si Drake dito so... safe zone here!

I glanced at the list pinned on my cupboard. Ang haba, a!

"Saw Kent yesterday," panimula ko kay Aya. They look silly naman kasi! Obvious na obvious na sila talaga dapat pero nagpapaka immature at ayaw mag usap! Nakakabaliw sila!

She shrugged. "Tapos?"

I sighed an exasperated sigh. "Come on, Aya. Ano nga? He told me he's been pursuing you again pero you always turn him down. Nasa witchy stage ka na naman ba?"

Because of my 'witchy' comment, I received a glare from her. "Naman, Alys! Don't you know better? Di ba nga kaya kayo nagbreak ni Drake ay dahil sa... well, hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit pero di naman kita kinukulit, di ba? Extend the same courtesy to me?" she said then batted her eyelash. Pasalamat ka ang cute mo, Aya!

"Fine, no more intruding. But please talk to him? He likes you big time. And he's good for you..." I said. 

Kent's the best guy for Aya, I'll bet my life on it. Sure, Sheen's great as well pero hindi naman kasi yung greatness ng isang tao ang measurement kung compatible ba sila sa'yo, di ba? You should be with someone not because he's good but because you become good when you're with him. 

We continued talk while I was baking. Ayoko kasi sa shop magbake kasi may chance na puntahan ako ni Drake dun, and I won't risk it. Besides, kumppleto naman sa gamit dito, e. And namiss kong kausap yung best friend ko!

"I saw Tripp yesterday!" sabi bigla ni Aya. Nagulat naman ako dun! "Grabe, Alys. I knew he looked good but damn, ang gwapo ni Tripp ngayon lalo!"

And there... natawa na ako talaga! Never ko pang nakitang mag express ng admiration 'tong babaeng 'to. She works in the field of fashion, di ba? Sure as hell madaming nakakatrabahong model 'to (one of the reasons bakit lagi silang nag aaway ni Kent dati) pero not once siyang nagsqueal na parang teenager! Hahaha. Ang gwapo talaga ng Marco ko.

"So, crush mo na ngayon?" I said and then wiggled my eyebrow. "Come on, Aya. I won't bite. Sanay na akong madaming admirer yung panget na yun."

I remember dati kahit sa New York pa lang, ang daming nagpapapansin dun. Niloloko nga namin siya ni Tofer dati, United Nations ang fans club niya. May European, may American, pero mostly Asian. Iba e... Ibang level kagwapuhan ni panget! Di ko kaya minsan.

Aya laughed. "Fine, fine, he's my crush. Kaya bang pigilan? That boy looks freakishly good!"

We continued to gossip about Tripp. Ang sama kong girlfriend, chinichismis ko si Tripp. Lol. Fun times with Besh. Namiss ko talaga 'to!

Siguro mga three hours kaming nag uusap while I bake some goodies. Nagtext kasi si Cristine, and she told me to meet her sa resto somewhere. She recommended me sa Mom niyang may  party na ioorganize and kailangan kong magdala ng taste test somewhat. Pumayag naman ako since ayokong maging bum, no. Besides, work naman 'to. 

Hinatid ako ni Aya sa destination ko. Papasundo na lang ako kay Tripp mamaya kasi di ko dala yung car ko.

Pumasok ako sa loob and tinulungan naman ako nung bell boy na dalin yung mga dala ko. Nagpareserve naman ng VIP room si Cristine and nauna ako dun. She sent me a text saying na she'll be late pero sandali lang naman.
