"And here's the vicinity map to help you when you don't know which way to go or when you're lost. Pasensya ka na that was a quick tour. I have to meet my brother right now eh. Pasensya na talaga, Van."

"No! It's alright. You don't need to say sorry. Malaking tulong nga 'tong ginawa mo. Thank you. And thanks to you too, Jaceton."

"Jack." Paglilinaw nya.

"Okay. Thank you, Jack."

"Let's go now, Blair."

"Huh? Saan tayo pupunta? May lakad ako."

"You're meeting Blake right? I don't have anything to do. I'll go with you."

"What?! I am meeting kuya and his friends from the states. Isn't that a little awkward for you to join us?"

"And why? Just tell them I'm your friend."

"What?! And who do you think you are? My boyfriend?!" Grabe. He's so conceited.

"I never said that."

"Ugh! Jaceton, you're too much!"

He just shrugged and walk his way ahead only to stop after a few steps and wait for me to come.

"Go ahead. I'll see you tomorrow." Van smiled and patted my head. "Don't be late for lunch okay? I'll wait for you. And again, thank you."

"Okay. You're always welcome. Promise yan ha. Lilibre mo ko bukas."

He laughed. "Of course. Ikaw pa ba. Malakas ka sa 'kin eh." And he winked. Oh my God! He winked!

I blushed. Damn, he's so handsome, inside and out.

I like him.

"S-sige. Bye." I waved and walked past Jaceton.

"Tch. I can't believe you."

"And why can't you?" I asked habang nakapamaywang na humarap sa kanya.

"Nevermind."

"Tch." I rolled my eyes. "By the way, are you sure you're going with me? Ayoko ng may makikipag-away, okay? Please be a good guy. Ayokong mapahiya sa mga bisita ni Kuya."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." He said and grabbed my hand.

"I'm serious, Jaceton! Pag ikaw nakipagsabong ka na naman kay Kuya o kay Japs, yari ka sakin."

"Oo na."

Tinitigan ko sya ng matagal. Nakakapagduda. He's being nice to me the whole day. Anong nakain nito?

"Were here." He said.

Nasa harap kami ngayon ng café kung saan kami magkikita nila Kuya.

At dito talaga sila tumuloy sa NU?

I saw my brother inside the café through the glass windows. His smile instantly faded when he saw Jaceton.

I'm a dead meat.

Pumasok na kami sa loob at laking gulat ko dahil ang daming ulam este gwapo sa harapan ko.
