Just Another Day at the Beach

Owner

RJ opened the door for me and i was surprised at the car he was riding. It was a black Subaru.I looked around and the car was just stunning. "Ang ganda naman ng kotse mo." I said. "Salamat. I keep that clean at all times.". "So O.C. pala tong si RJ" I thought to myself. "RJ, pala uhm may tanong ako.". "Oh ano yun?". "Pano mo nga pala napa oo yung boss mo sa biglaang mong leave?". "Maine, ako ang may ari ng Native's.". "Wait. What?!". "Oo haha! Nung nagpaalam ako, sinabi ko lang sa manager and staff yun.". "Wow."

I was silent for a few minutes. So many things were going on in my head. One, ang cute nya talaga omg eek! Two, is this an actual date? After all these years? After Kevin? Three, Ano nga ba yung intention ni RJ saken? Baka naman, gwapo, mabait, pero plastic. Maloloko nanaman ba ako? Mahuhulog ako tapos, baka saktan pa ako. Haay. Wag na nga nega, Meng.

"Maine? Ok ka lang?" RJ asked. "Oo naman! Bakit naman hindi? Ok lang ako, sige drive ka lang. Pero san ba tayo kakain?". "Bakit, gutom ka na ba?" he said smirking. "Medyo. Bery light lang. Oh bat ka naka ngiti?". "Ang cute mo kasi pag gutom ka eh." he said. Ayan nanaman kasi tayo eh. Cute ka oo na, cute ka. I blushed without knowing what to say. "So saan nga? Kulit mo naman.". "Basta. Surprise lang. maghintay ka.". After a few minutes we drove up to the Outback Steakhouse. My favorite. "RJ, favorite ko yan!" I exclaimed. " Talaga? I was in the mood for steak kasi eh so i looked up good steak places here in Manila.". YAAAASSS *internally screaming*.

We got in and sat on a table for two. I ordered one slab of medium rare steak and some coke while RJ ordered two slabs of well done steak and coke. "Sorry ah. Gutom eh. Haba nung biyahe papunta dito at di pa ako nakakain.". "Ok lang. Kain ka lang. i don't mind.". I told RJ about what happened to Janeeva and made kwento about other stuff, but something was bother RJ and i sensed it. He was silent just nodding at me. Maybe he was just hungry. "RJ ok ka lang ba?" I asked worried about him. "Uhm, oo." He muttered under his breath. I stayed silent to respect whatever he was thinking about then he finally spoke. "Maine?". "Mm?". "Pwede ba ako manligaw?".
