No Way! Yes Way!

Blue Magic (Not the brand)

Den heard someone knock on the door of her office. She was busy doing paperworks so she shouted, "Come in!"

She didn't even bother to look at her guest. She's so engrossed with her work as she wants to finish it immediately.

Natigil lang ang pagsusulat niya when someone put a paperbag on the table. She looked up and was surprised to see who it was.

"A-Alyssa?" she muttered.

Ly let out a shy, "Hi."

"W-What are you doing here?"

"Um, ano, I brought some Ghirardelli chocolates for you. Peace offering sa hassle kahapon," explained Aly.

Den's eyes widened with excitement when she heard "chocolates" pero agad din namang naningkit nung naalala niya yung hassle na dinanas niya sa mall kahapon.

Den stood up, hands on her waist and said, "Buti pinaalala mo. Grabe yung ginawa mo sa akin kahapon. Sobrang nakakahiya! Buti na lang walang ibang nakaalam. Tapos ngayon pupunta ka rito na parang walang nangyari. Sa tingin mo madadaan ako sa Ghirardelli na yan--"

Naputol ang sasabihin ni Den when Ly revealed what she's been hiding behind her back.

"U-Um, flowers? I know the chocolates won't be enough," Alyssa shyly said.

Den took it but... "Pero nakakairita ka pa din. Sana man lang tinext mo ko para masabiha--"

"I didn't have your number."

"You didn't have it because you didn't ask for it, you idiot!"

"Hindi ko naman alam na ibibigay mo. But don't worry I have it now. You called me yesterday, right? Kanino mo pala nakuha number ko? Stalker much?" pangaasar ni Alyssa.

"Your jokes aren't helping! Gusto mo lang yata lalo akong mabwisit say--"

Aly cut her. "There's carbonara also in the paper bag. I cooked it."

"E bakit di mo sinabi agad? Okay. Forgiven. Sit down." And Den rummaged inside the paper bag and found the pasta.

Aly let out a sigh of relief. Gumana ang huling bala niya.

Den started eating and Aly is just content watching her devour the food.

Ninanamnam pa ni Den ang pagkain when she remembered na nasa harap pa nga pala niya si Alyssa.

"S-Sorry. Sobrang gutom lang," nahihiyang sabi ni Dennise.

"It's okay."

Den was taken aback when Ly leaned closer.

The latter actually reached for the tissue box. Alyssa stood up and wiped Denden's mouth.

"You're still messy when you eat."

Den held Alyssa's hand to stop her when the door suddenly opened. Out of surprise, Den accidentally twisted Alyssa's hand.

"Aray!" Alyssa shouted.

"Hi bab--" naputol ang sasabihin nung dumating.

"L-LA. Babe. Hi," gulat na bati ni Den.

"Hey," walang ganang bati ni Alyssa. She absent-mindedly used her injured hand to wave causing her to grimace in pain again.

Den rushed to Alyssa to check the latter's hand. "Are you okay?" tanong pa nito, hawak ang kamay ni Alyssa.

"Y-Yeah. Mej masakit lang."

"Ahem," tawag pansin naman ni LA.

Den let go of Ly's hand and went to LA. Her boyfriend kissed her on the cheek making Alyssa shift her gaze.
