In the sidelines

Lucky day, huh?

JERIC'S POV

After almost a month of numerous guestings and interviews, sa wakas I am back on the gym. Today's the first day of practice for me in my rookie year in PBA with team ROS. Glad to finally make my dreams come true. Ma- text nga muna si Cay kailangan ko ng cheerleader at konting inspiration eh.

To: Cay Isabelle

Cay Isabelle Torres! Goodmorning. Today's my first PBA practice!!! I need you here... As a cheerleader. :) Haha. Wake up na.. Let's push through with the dinner ha. You can't say no na. You promised me. See you.

From: Cay Isabelle

Dear Mr. Teng. Di porket famous endorser kana, porket meron ka ng stylist, porket lahat bg magazine sa magazine stand ay face niyo na ni Jeron, porket PBA player kana, pwede ka na mang- gising. Its 8am freak! Joke. Goodluck bestfrieeeennddd!! You deserve that spot. Make me proud, huh? Yeah yeah. See you. I have news to tell. :)

Haaaaay. Bestfriend naman, basag trip ang aga? Kailangan ipaalala na bestfriend ako? Hahaha. Pero finally, makikita ko narin siya. Masosolo. :) after kasi ng PBA Draft, di ko na siya na- solo lagi kasing busy. kontiing inspirasyon para sa first game. Indeed today is my lucky day :)

Coach: okay guys, warm up na! Start na tayo in 10 minutes.

After practice and gym, I decided to go home first to freshen up and change, nakakahiya naman sa date kong maganda no? And guess what, naabutan ko pa si Jeron na busy sa kakalaro ng 2K habang ako ay busy sa kaka- isip ng susuotin ko.

Jeric: Shoti, Friday ngayon ha. Wala kang party or date? Napaka- loner mo naman! Hahahaha

Jeron: Ahia. Pwede ba? Busy pa ako sa 2K! Can you just please change quietly nalang? And please wag mo ng guluhin ang closet natin kakaayos lang nyan ni Manang. Saan ka pala pupunta?

Jeric: Dinner with Cay lang. Catch- up lang ganun. *smirks*

Jeron: Kaya pala para kang naligo dyan ng perfume! Ano ba yan Ahia! Masyado kang obvious na excited kang makita siAchi Cay eh!

Jeric: Uy, hindi ha. Bestfriend ko siya malamang gusto ko talaga siya makita. Walang malisya yun, Shoti.

Jeron: K. Deny deny rin pag may time ano? Sige na! Chupiiii!!!!

To: Cay Isabelle

Shall I pick you up na?

From: Cay Isabelle

No no no, Tiger! Let's meet nalang there. 7pm yun reservation ko under my name. :) Teka. Its 5pm palang you're already ready???? Pa- uwi palang ako from training. Ikaw ha... Napaghahalataan. You're excited!!!!!! ☺️

To: Cay Isabelle

Yes.. Akala ko kasi we can catch up pa before dinner eh. Don't worry, Di pa naman ako naka- alis. 2 rounds of 2K muna with Shoti. Excuse me Ms. Torres, I am not excited. Just eager lang na kurutin yang chubby cheeks mo! Hahaha. Paano ka pala punta?

From: Cay Isabelle

Awww. Akala ko naman you're excited to see me. Hmpf! Are you calling me fat, Mr. Teng? Because I'm not. BURN!! Someone will drive me there. Basta its a long story... I'll make kwento later. Text kita if I'm leaving na. See you bestfriend!!! :)

-FF-

So here I am waiting for Cay. Na- traffic siguro yun. I should have insisted na...... Ooops. Here's my date. Always stunning as ever in skirt, plain blouse and flats with a little make- up I may add. She never fails to make me hooked in her charm, parang everything about her I adore. If only I had the courage to have you. I thank God for His piece of stunning art as she walks towards me.

Cay: Jerrriiiiccc!!!!! Hiiiiii besfriend!!! *kiss on cheeks* Sorry late ako ha. Traffic kasi. Kanina ka pa ba? Did you order na? This dinner is on me na ha, don't argue. *smiles*

Jeric: No its okay. Halos kakarating ko lang. Sure ka ba yan? Pwede naman ikaw nalang sa dessert eh.

Cay: This dinner is on me. :) Basta wag ka masyado matakaw ha! How's training? *looks at the door, seem to be waiting for someone*

Jeric: Sige na nga. Basta later ha.. Icecream tayo? My treat :) *looks at the door* Uy, si LA yun ha! Teammate ni Shoti. I'll just say hi.

Jeric: LA! Nice seeing you here bro. You have a date?

LA: Actually..... *looks past me* There she is. *waves*

Jeric: Where? *looks behind.. Shocked.* Did. I. Just. Saw. LA. kiss. My. Bestfriend??????
