[Scarlette's POV]

"Is he always bothering you?" 

Napaangat ang tingin ko kay Dalton nung bigla siyang magsalita. We are in S&R right now because I am craving for their cheese pizza and cinnamon churos. 

"Uh, no. He approached me last last week maybe then we haven't seen each other until earlier," I explained as I brought a large slice of pizza in my mouth.

He unbelievably looked at me, "Seriously, ilang araw ka bang hindi kumakain?" Tanong niya at inirapan ko naman siya.

"Shut up, it's past dinner time, Dalton. What do you expect?" Nakangiti kong sagot sa kanya.

Just looking at him makes me happy. I mean, God! He's my best friend and I haven't seen him for quite a long time. Hindi ko alam kung bakit sobrang na-miss ko siya. Siguro masyado lang akong naging malungkot noong mga nakaraang linggo kaya ngayong sobrang saya ko na andito siya sa harapan ko.

"Okay, Scarlette, I miss you too. Stop looking at me like that." Biglang sabi niya at tumawa naman ako. 

I gulped my drink and smirked at him, "Bakit ngayon ka lang? I've been in a tough situation these past few days, you know..." 

"Sorry, I wasn't there to cheer you up tho. Things have been worse with me." Sagot niya at mapaklang tumawa. Umiling lang ako at sumandal sa balikat niya. 

"Were you fine?" I asked and he smiled.

"Come on, of course I am." He answered and I rolled my eyes. Liar! "What are you up to by the way?" 

Inangat ko ang ulo ko para tignan siya, "Hmm, I've been working my ass of for someone's condo unit." 

His brows furrowed, "I thought you were on leave?" 

"I was! But he offered a two years partnership with me in my coffee shop expansion! I cannot say no." Paliwanag ko at mas lalong kumunot ang noo niya.

"He? So it's a guy? Come on, baby girl. Drop that thing. Baka kung anong gawin niyan sayo. I will not be here always and Kevin, damn that guy, have you seen him?" 

I can sense that he's frustrated by the way he mentioned Kevin's name. I can't blame him tho, that guy had always been missing. 

"Hmm, he's in the city. Actually, I am working for his friend, Alexander?" I stated and questioned at the same time. 

His face lit up, "Yeah, Aguilar. I've met him once before he went to states. Didn't know he's back." Simpleng sagot niya at ngumiti naman ako.

"Uh-huh. He'll probably stay here for good. I wasn't supposed to accept his offer tho, kaya lang ang hirap tanggihan!" Pagku-kwento ko sa kanya at tumawa naman siya.

"Drop that, I can be your business partner, baby girl. Come on," Pangungulit niya at umiling naman ako.

"Stop being ridiculous. Baka isipin mong pineperahan lang kita." Tumatawa kong sambit at pinanlisikan niya naman ako ng mga mata.

"Did he treat you well?" Maya maya ay tanong niya. 

I nodded, "Well, he did. He's too makulit, total opposite of his looks. Hindi maipagkakailang magkaibigan nga sila ni Kevin." Sagot ko at sabay naman kaming tumawa.

"He is Sharmaine's guy." 

He blurted out of a sudden but I expected it tho. 

"Tell me something I didn't know, Dalton." Natatawa kong sabi sa kanya at umiling naman siya.
