Chapter 27: Plain Friendship
"Stephiee!" Someone called my name loud enough for me to turn my head to where the voice came from. Makasigaw naman, hindi naman ako bingi. I know it was him, sino pa ba ang tatawag sa akin ng Stephie, kung hindi si Bill lang. It was his endearment to me.
I was about to ride a cab at kadarating lang nya.
"W-what brings you here?" I said the moment he reached me. As far as I know he's on leave today, so.. bakit nandito sya? Anong ginagawa nya dito?
He smirked, "Ewan ko, I got this strong urge to see you."
I rolled my eyes on him. "Seriously?" The F, he can see me later or tomorrow. It's just freaking 3am, haller! Baliw ba 'to?
"Ano ba, this is what you call starting the day right." he said. He took my hands and twined it with his. I shrugged I really don't know what's running on his head. Bahala nga sya.
"So.. clasping your bestfriend's hands with yours? Starting the day right, huh?" I kidded as we go in the cab's backseat.
He raised his brow. Tsk, tarayan daw ba ako? He smiled without letting out anything. Silence, why so nakakabingi? Answer me. Now.
"We're here." he uttered when we reached an exclusive restaurant. He settled the cab's bill and when I was about to open the door. "W-wait." he stopped me. He quickly went out to open the door for me. Woah, what a gentleman!
A well-looking guy welcomed us as we passed the revolving glass door. "Good morning, sir. Table 143, this way please." he politely guide us going to our designated table. Oh, so he got a reservation pala! Table 143? 8 letters, 3 words? Hahaha. Oh shut up, Steph!
Maraming tao and I guess they're couples. Makapag-PDA naman kasi, parang sila lang ang tao sa mundo. They're a bit annoying.
He pulled me a chair. Our table was the main table here, I guess. Because we're in an elevated, stage-like platform with a well-arranged table. The word GREAT is an understatement to describe the place. Iam amazed, the area was red-carpeted too. I love this and I felt so special.
He stood up as one of the waiter handed him a bouquet. Yea, a bouquet!! It was a combination of pink and white tulips. Gaad. Paborito ko yan! He gave me his ear-to-ear smile before handing me the flowers. For the nth time around, I was caught off guard.
"Thank you." I automatically said. Woah! Receiving flowers is one of the best things ever. They're beautifully perfect. Hindi ko na napansing nakaupo na sya sa tapat ko. Na-carried away ako kakatingin sa mga bulaklak.
He cleared his throat. "Ipinagpalit mo na ako sa mga bulaklak?" he said using his oh-so-nagtatampong-tone. Ang arte nito, kahit kailan!
I smilingly eyed him, "Bakit, selos ka?" I jokingly countered back. "Ang ganda kasi, you know how much I love tulips." I continued with my eyes on the flowers still.
