"Miss do you serve cote de boeuf here?"
Travis asked the lady in a loud and posh manner.
"Yes, we meant the world's most expensive steak."
"Sorry but we do not serve that here. We only have our most expensive steak in Garlic Butter flavor. "
"Sayang naman, I crave for that kasi. But we'll add 10 takeouts of Garlic Butter."
"Dagdag po ng 10 Garlic Butter sir?"
"Yes 10 orders for the street children. My buddy here wants to celebrate by means of helping."
"That's so nice of you sir! Konti na lang sa mga kabataan ang hindi puro party ang alam!" puri ng waitress sa kanya.
Halos mabulunan naman ang mga nasa katabi naming table. "We'll serve in an hour!"
Tinignan ko ang grupo ng lalaki na tila hindi makaharap sa amin at kung ano anong pinagkakaabalahan para hindi halata na nakikinig sila. Kahit naman hindi sila makinig, maririnig nila sa lapit ng table namin.
"Sarap ng steak dito!"
Sinubo ko ng isang buo ang beef stake na nakalagay sa plato ko. Parang ginutom ako sa mga nangyari, di ko inaasahan na ako ang magsasama kay Geriko sa stage.
"President ng mga steak house. Surely."
"Yeah but if you compare this to Manila steak houses, impeached ito sigurado."
"Do boys really talk like that?"
"At least we don't talk about eggs and stuffs."
Ngumisi si Rhett sa amin, pinandilatan ko ng mata si France para hindi siya magkwento.
"Sex education Rhett. Di mo ba alam yun? Sex ed is essential, especially to teenagers. So mas may sense ang pinag-uusapan namin."
"Egg? What egg?" tanong ni Geriko.
"Metaphors Geriko."
Liv smiled to us, gaga talaga ang fubu queen na 'to!
"Kanina kasi we were listening to the girls' conversation..."
"It's not listening! You're eavesdropping!"
"Yeah whatever..."
Umirap si Travis kay Liv, "As I was saying, we were 'eavesdropping legally' earlier, then they happen to be talking about Rolene-"
I interrupted him before he can finish talking, of course I'll do that!
"We were talking about the dress...my dress. We were, arguing? Yeah! Something tells us na ako ang aakyat para sayo kaya we picked the best dress."
I faked a laugh after, I need to stop him or else I'll get embarrased again in front of Geriko.
"So...sino ang auditor ng mga steak houses?"
I tried to change the subject. But the boys, especially Travis, looked at me ridiculously...
"Are you okay Rolene?" tanong ni Rhett.
"Yeah why?"
"There's no such thing as auditor when it comes to officers metaphor." paliwanag ni Travis. Sana naman dito na umikot ang usapan.
"Presidents are always superior to everything. For example, Travis is the dumbest among Engineers. You can say he's the president of the dumb engineers." Geriko explained in detail, hindi ko mapigilan na matawa sakanya.
