EIGHTEEN – I confronted a friend

Dee and I turn around and go back to where Lee is.

“Are you thinking the same thing as I am?” I say to Dee as we walk away from the guy on the phone.

“If you’re thinking that Enrique and Donatello are one and the same… then I think we are thinking of the same thing.” She answers and I know now that I am not dreaming. This is reality not some kind of a nightmare.

 “What do I do?” I hold Dee’s arm. I never thought that Tello had a secret crush on me but now things differ. I told him all my secrets, well most of my secrets, he is one of my best friends. The idea of him liking me more never crossed my mind. Not until the Enrique incident and now I still can’t believe that it is him. And the idea of him being my supposed boyfriend for show is even more outlandish.

“I don’t know.” Dee answers. I do not expect her to answer like that. Diana always has a positive side to all problems but now even she lost it. “It’s kind of awkward I suppose.”

Lee raises an eye brow when he spots us. “You two looks like you’ve seen a ghost.”

“You have no idea what we’ve seen or heard.” Dee answers.

Lee just looks at his watch and then scratches his hair just like how Carlo did it earlier. “I really have to go; I still have a lot to do at home.”

“Okay, thanks.” I say to him as he leaves.

He just smiles and he’s gone…

Dee and I return back to my house and talks inside my room.

“I still can’t believe this is happening.” Dee says.

“Well I think it all makes sense.” I lay down on my bed remembering the times I encounter Enrique that may prove that Tello is indeed him. And explain it to Dee.

Except for the fact that we heard Donatello talk about the date which will be tonight, there are more.

I open the account of the guy named Enrique at the internet café which is owned by Donatello’s family. There is a high probability that Tello was the one who used that computer and it was another of his account that I have opened.

 I give emphasis to the roses and the smell of it in his locker, which was justified earlier when we heard his talk on the phone.

Another is about the panty incident. I blush a little learning that there were time when I dress up in front of him without even thinking that his a guy. But of course, he never saw me on my underwear. I had towel wrapped around my body.

The underwear incident… It happened before I borrowed Donatello’s reader.  I think I bumped onto him and scattered all my things on the floor. I actually am wearing a skirt that time and it was him who collected the things I dropped. And it may have been the time when he spotted my pink underwear. Urhggg… I feel somehow angry at him for taking advantage of that situation. I never thought of him acting like a pervert.

“Hey but he’s a hottie, come to think of it.” Dee says after our analysis.

“A hottie?” I repeat.  “Tello?”

I hear my phone rings. I am expecting no one to call me for now. And no one calls me unexpectedly except the guy. “It’s him, isn’t it?”

Diana nods. “It’s Donatello.”

“Answer it.” Dee does not answer it instead she gives me the phone with the note “Calling Donatello…” blinking.

“You answer it.” She refuses.

“But you know how I feel, it’s kind of awkward.” I give her back the phone but she does not accept it. “Diana please, I don’t know what to say.”

“You’re overreacting.” She pushes my hand back to me. “He doesn’t know that we already know about him. Answer it and act normal.”

“No, you answer it.” I say and drop the phone to the bed. It continues to ring but I’ve decided not to answer it. I know Diana in all her curiosity won’t be able to resist the urge.

“Hey,” she says. “Are you seriously not going to answer that?”

“I’m seriously not going to answer that.” I assure her.

“Not fair,” she holds the phone. “But I can’t be sure what to say if I answer the phone,” and she stood to the far end of the bed.

“Yes!” I hear her say. “Oh Tello, this is Diana… Cassie is not available at the moment she went to… uh… some place… you know… some place to comfort… you know what mean.”

“Hey…” I say in a low voice.

“Uhmmm…” I see her nod and speak some more words. “But you see, Cassie and I are pretty busy right now. Maybe if you come here at her place, then maybe we could talk.”

I gave her an angry look, with my huge eyes piercing at her and my hands on my hips. I ask for the phone but she just ignores me.

“Okay Tello, see you in ten minutes,” that is it and she ends the call.

“See you in ten minutes.” I repeat the way she said. “What the hell did you just do?”

“He wanted to ask help with something. And it was just right that I answered the phone because he was actually looking for me. He just called your phone since he cannot contact mine, then she looks at her mobile. “yeh, I’m out of power. She then scramble to her bag and search for her mobile charger and then for some outlet.

“What else did he say?”

“It’s something about…” she pauses. “…A date,” she teases me. “He wanted to know how to impress this… girl,” she’s teasing me. “I think he knows I’m the best one to ask guidance from.”

“So you told him to go here. You know how awkward I fell about it right now, and you’re still doing it your way.”

“Well, atleast now we know who your mystery guy is and turns out he’s not to be so mysterious after all.”

We hear a car stop at our front porch. I know it is him and I do not know what to. I panic as I see him go down his car through my window.

“What do I do, should I pretend to be asleep or what… Diana!” I am now angry at this girl for making my life more miserable than it is already.

“Relax,” she says. But how can I now, how?

“So, I’ll go down alone and I’ll talk to him. If he reveals it to me then I will tell you. But if he does not then I’ll call you and we can confront him.”

“Confront.”

‘Yes,” and she is gone. I hide at a room near our living room so I could hear them talk.

First I hear Tello ask about the signs if a girl likes a guy. He asks if meeting the parent of the girl is right even before they go steady. He asks if girls really like roses. He also wanted to know how to impress a girl on a first date.

“And why are you asking me this.” Diana asks him trying to squeeze any little information she could.

“It’s because you’re a girl.”

“Is it simply because she’s a girl?” I slowly come out of my hiding. I do not know why I’ve done what I did but it just happened.

“So you did give this girl white roses?” It was me who speaks and Tello turn behind me to see me. He is a little startled but he got his bearing quickly just like Enrique would.

He nods. “Yes.”

“And you ask her for a date at exactly eight pm tonight?” I continue and Tello frowns.
