"This is weird. Really really weird." Felicity mumbled while massaging her own head. Napaayos siya ng upo sa kama at saka isinandig ang katawan sa headboard. It's been 2 hours since the incident at kakagising lang din ng kaibigan niya.

"What is?" Tanong ni Cameron sa kaibigan habang binabalatan ang orange. Binigay niya rito ang prutas and Felicity said thanks.

" All of this! Gah! You know I've been a physician for 2 years and I am so used to attend patients, not the other way around." Nakakunot-noo nitong paliwanag.

"So this is what it feels like to be hospitalized." Felicity mumbles again while eating the orange. She just shook her head in amusement, her friend is really one of a kind.

"Hey Cam!" Pukaw nito sa kanya makailang saglit. " Who brought me here? I mean who carried me while I was unconscious?" Tanong nito, curiosity is written all over her face.

"Why do you ask?"

"Kasi, I don't know if I was dreaming but I saw a gorgeous angel looking intently at me kanina. Alam mo yun. He has this very gorgeous face and his hazel eyes are piercing through my soul. It was like he's sucking the life out of me. I thought I saw him smiled back there for a second but I wasn't so sure. His eyes were glistening with amusement and for a second, I thought I was in heaven." parang wala sa sariling sabi nito. Naibato niya rito ang balat ng orange at natatawa naman itong umilag.

"Since when did you become so poetic, Doc Alvarez?" Tudyo niya rito at agad naman itong namula.

"Che! So ano nga? Was I dreaming?" Nakakunot ang noong tanong nito.

"No, you weren't."

"I knew it!" Napapalatak nitong sabi saka napasuntok sa ere na akala mo'y nanalo sa lotto. "So what's his name? And please don't tell me he's your husband, that would be a shame." Hopeful nitong sabi while doing her signature puppy look. Binato niya ulit ito ng balat ng orange sa mukha.

"Aray!"

"His name is Rip. He's my driver slash bodyguard."

"Oh my! I've never dated a personal bodyguard before." Nangingislap na matang sabi nito.

"Tumigil ka nga, may boyfriend ka na ha. " pagpapaalala niya sa kaibigan.

"I broke up with Jim weeks ago." She heard her saying nonchalantly while popping the last piece of orange on her mouth.

"And here I thought you two could last 3 months or so." Buntong-hininga niyang sabi sa kaibigan. Sa kanilang dalawa ay si Felicity ang mahilig makipagdate. She's always the fun loving and carefree person.

"He bores me. He always talks about heart disease, heart conditions, healthy diet to reduce heart risks and everything to do with the human heart. Nakakasura ha. Tell you want, I'm never dating a cardiologist again. " Bigla nalang siyang napatawa sa sinabi ng kaibigan.

"That's what you said when you dated that neurosurgeon Dr. West." Turan niya rito.

"Eh? Okay fine, I'll never date doctors again." Napapailing nalang siya rito.

"So ano? This guy Rip, is he still single?" Felicity looked at her with hopeful eyes.

"He's married Fel." Kunway sabi niya, trying not to laugh her heart out.

"Bummer!" Dismayado nitong sabi. Gusto niyang matawa sa itsura ng kaibigan animo'y nabagsakan ito ng langit at lupa.

"Guess I'll die a virgin then." Malungkot na turan ng kanyang kaibigan.

"Sira!" Cameron was about to take back her joke nang bumukas ang pinto nang silid at iniluwa niyon ang pinakagwapong nilalang sa balat ng lupa. Agad siyang napangiti at tumayo at sinalubong ito ng halik.
