GAIL'S POV

"Hi...?"

Stupid me. Bakit yun ang lumabas sa bibig ko? I managed a smile anyway, but it turned out into an awkward smile perhaps. My lips are trembling in tension. Suddenly, I realized why am I tensed? Eh ano naman kung magkasalubong ang kilay ni Kurt na nakatingin sa aming dalawa? Gail, don't be hysterical. In the first place, hindi ko naman talaga kailangang magtago.

"Ate Gail??"

Nalipat ang tingin ko sa babaeng kasama ni Kurt. She was smiling to me from ear-to-ear while waving her hand on me. Nakatitig lang ako sa kanya, nagbabakasali na maalala ko kung sino siya. I'm dead sure that I knew this girl... She's really familiar to me. Ugh, I had met her somewhere before, hadn't I?

"Naalala mo pa ba ako?" She asked, biting her lower lip. She was wearing a cream sleeveless for her top, and a knee-length pink skirt with her doll shoes on.  "Ako po si Misty. Hello?"

I gasped aloud, covering my mouth with my palm. "Misty???"

"Yep, it's me!" She giggled heartily.

Woah, I knew it! Kaya pala pamilyar siya sa akin. I stepped out of the room and studied her looks. She changed alot, just like her brother. "Wow, dalagang-dala ka na. Sorry, 'di kita nakilala. Tumangkad ka eh." At hindi lang siya tumangkad, sum-exy pa siya at mas lalong naging radiant ang skin niya, plus yung long brown wavy hair niya na mas lalong nagpa-perky sa itsura niya. Kaya nga hindi ko siya agad namukhaan. Wow.

"Thanks, Ate."

I smiled. "Dati, hanggang balikat lang kita tapos---" I paused and placed my hand over her head. "Magkasing-tangkad na yata tayo, Misty."

"Ehem..."

My attention switched from Misty to Kurt who's just right beside her. Bumalik tuloy bigla ang goosebumps ko nang makita ko ang seryosong mukha niya. Gosh, pakiramdam ko, may phobia na ako sa paraan ng pagtingin niya.

"I'm sorry," sabi ko kahit hindi ko alam kung bakit yun ang lumabas sa bibig ko. "Small world. Nagsha-shopping din kayo?" I managed to speak normal. Geez. Swear, I really look strupid now.

Kurt looked away so Misty opted to answer my question. Hmp! Suplado. "Yes, Ate. We often do this... Once or twice a month. Ikaw, Ate? Sinong... kasama mo?" Sabay tingin niya sa likuran ko.

Oh sh-it. I almost forgot Fifth's presence. Nilingon ko siya at nakita kong nakangiti lang din siya kay Misty, timidlly though. I tugged him out of the fitting room and introduced him to them.

"Fifth, he's Mr. Tristan Kurt Lee. He's the team leader of the Marketing Department," I said casually and they shook hands. Si Fifth pa ang nag-initiate nun. Tch. "... And she's Misty, Mr. Lee's younger sister. Guys, siya naman si Fifth--"

Fifth broke into my words. "Travis," he corrected. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay sa sinabi niya. What's with the correction?

"Uhm... Yeah, he's Travis Choi the FIFTH," I emphasized his cute nickname and smiled back to them. "He's my Finance Adviser."

"Finance Adviser?" Kurt fin'lly said, more likely a question.

"Yup. Inappoint siya sa akin ng Daddy ko mismo para maging finance adviser ko," I explained.

He nodded and looked away again, seemed uncomfortable with how Fifth stares at him. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit nakatingin si Fifth sa kanya. Supposedly, diba kay Misty siya nakatingin kasi beautiful chick? Sabi na nga ba eh! Baka beki din 'to. LOL.
