Too Late

Chapter 2

It was already 3pm when we arrived at The Matrix, Ashley's favorite ice cream shop

"Aidyyyy. Ano sakin. Cookies and cream, strawberry, vanilla, chocolate and mango flavor na ice cream. Palagyan mo ng madaaaaaming sprinkles. Tapos kumuha ka na rin ng ice tea ha? Hanap lang ako ng mauupuan natin. Hihi" sabi niya tapos nagmadaling pumunta sa second floor ng shop

Aish. Kung hindi lang dahil sa konsensya ko, hindi ko talaga ililibre tong babaeng to. Mayaman naman siya eh.

Nung ako na ang nakaharap sa counter, i ordered what she said and what's mine. Nabigla nga yung cashier sa dami eh. Pano ba naman, pang limang tao ata ang kayang kainin ng babaeng yun pero di naman tumataba.

I was waiting for our order when my phone suddenly beeped.

New message

From AlienAsh

        Aidy. Andito ako sa table no.4. Yung malapit sa may standee ng ice cream? Bilisan mo ha? Naggu-gulu-guru na yung tummy ko. Hihi

Gulu-guru? What the f is that word? Galing ba yun sa planetang pinanggalingan niya? Tss. Weirdong babae

I was about to reply her when the cashier girl spoke.

"Ah sir. Eto na po yung order niyo. Iga-guide nalang po kayo ng isang staff namin. Enjoy your meal po" sabi ng babae

"Okay. Thanks" i winked at her and she blushed!

Ang gwapo mo talaga Aiden. Haha.

I went upstairs and started looking for ash.

Where is that gi---

Ah. There she is.

She was busy with her phone kaya naisipan ko siyang gulatin. I walked slowly towards her and peeked on hee phone to see what she's doing.

Nagulat ako dahil ini-scan niya yung wall ko sa facebook while smiling. Haha. Ang gwapo ko talaga!

"Ang gwapo ko noh?" I whispered on her right ear with the huskiest voice i can do.

Bigla siyang sumilip sa side ko kaya......

Her lips touched mine.

We were both shocked. One. Two. Three. Four. Fiv--

"Ah sir. Ilalagay ko na po ba to sa table nyo?"

Humiwalay lang kami sa isa't-isa nung nagsalita si kuya staff

"S-sige. Ilagay mo na lang jan kuya" i awkwardly said

Kuya left our food on the table and after that we only heard a long silence. We started eating our ice cream ngunit ni isa sa amin ay hindi nagsalita.

She even excusexpd herself dahil naiiihi na siya. At pagbalik niya saka lang kami nagsalita.

"Ash" "Aiden"

Sabay naming sabi. Nagkatinginan kami at biglang tumawa.

"Hahaha!"

"That was really epic ash" sabi ko habang kumakain ng ice cream

"Ah. Oo nga eh. Buti tayo lang ang tao dito sa taas. Kundi lagot na. Haha" parang pilit lang yung tawa niyang yun pero hinayaan ko na lang.

"Ash. Congrats pala. Sorry eto lang ang celebration mo. Next time, sa mall tayo. Arcades, Okay lang?" I asked

"No its okay Aidy. Sapat na tong ice cream ko. Haha. Chill ka lang ah. Di ko pa nga nauubos yung apat na flavors oh"

And what the hell. Ubos na niya yung cookies and cream
