The Coffee Incident 

E c h o s

Jordan's Point of View

"You kissed her?"

"That, I did."

"Woah! Nice one, little sis--"

"On the cheeks," I said with a serious face. 

Jade rolled her eyes. "You suck."

"I kissed her forehead too. Atleast, right?" sabi ko as I continued to read the papers regarding the new branch in Cleveland, Ohio. Dapat daw talaga sa New York but sa Ohio kasi ako nag-aaral kaya doon na lang pinagawa ni Daddy para narin naasikaso 'ko. 

Jade just shook her head and umupo nalang sa couch para manood. I told Jade about Alexis. She told me na baka bisexual daw ako. Or baka daw masyado lang akong na-attatched sa tao. I don't want to admit it pero... Oo na! I missed her so bad. 

She makes me feel... things. Don't get me wrong pero 'di ako 'manhid'. God! I hate explaining. Let's just say that I'm not inlove with her. I think I'm in love with the idea of her. If it's any consolation, she's the best idea I've ever had. 

It's been two days nung umalis kami from Manila. We're currently here sa isa naming rest house at Silang, Cavite. I don't know why our parents chose this place para mamahinga. Stressing daw kasi sa Manila and 'di rin daw kami makakapagpahinga pagpunta namin sa Ohio dahil madaming aasikasuhin. Bukas na flight namin and I still haven't talked to her...

Napatigil ako sa pag-iisip ng malalim when I heard Jade laughing hilariously. "Reggie, you have to see this!" 

I stood up and went towards her. "What is it? Oh, and don't call me that." 

"Whatever," she showed me a picture on her phone. 

Q: What do you call a cow with no legs?

A: Ground beef

Looking back at her, I saw her biting her lower lip; trying to supress her laugh. I just stared at her when she took the phone in my hands and showed me another picture. 

Q:What did the digital clock say to the grandfather clock?

A:Look grandpa, no hands!

"Jade, I think you're losing your mind," I said as I threw her phone to her face. 

"Fucking ouch!" she stood up and chased after me. Before she could take her revenge, mom came in the room and glared at us; hands on her hips. "Girls, stop fighting!" 

"Si Jordan!" Jade shouted whilst rubbing her pointed nose. 

I saw mom shaking her head. "You girls need to grow up." 

Jade and I glared at mom with mouth wide opened. "What does that suppose to mean?!" I asked. 

Bago makasagot si mommy, pumasok si Desiree. 

"Des, you're here!" mom greeted her with a warm hug. Nakita ko na nakatitig lang si Jade kay Des. At ganun rin naman si Des kay Jade. Cousin namin si Des sa mother side. Magkapareho lang ng age sila Des and Jade. But Des is older ng four months. She's an only child that's why her parents support her with her decisions. She's a fashion designer in Paris kaya naman nakakagulat siyang makita ngayon. 

I snapped my fingers in front of Jade. "Earth to Jade?" 

Jade blinked her eyes several times and looked at her fingers. "Uh... I'm going outside," with that, she wore her slippers and hurriedly went out of the door.
