Sinagtala Grocery Store

Benji's mood has shifted back to being cordial after his lunch with Sunshine.  But regardless of his mood shift the store staffs are still cautious on their work so they could avoid another mood swing of their sir Benji which causes Sunshine to tease Benji about the staff sudden avoidance in him.

"Maganda na rin palang masungit ka eh, our people are too cautious of their jobs, ayaw magkamali kasi baka bugahan mo ng apoy" Sunshine said

"Grabe ka naman sa akin" Benji complained

"Bakit, hindi mo ba alam kung gaano sila katakot ngayong araw na 'to.  Subukan mong pumunta sa station nila, malamang magtago ang mga iyon sa ilalim ng desk nila para hindi mo makita" Sunshine continue teasing

"It is your entire fault" Benji said

"Excuse me sir Benjamin Rosales, wala akong kinalaman dyan" Sunshine said and suddenly whispered "Selos kasi nang selos, wala namang dapat pagselosan"

"Excuse me ma'am Sinagtala Obispo, you were saying something" Benji asked

"I said wala akong kinalaman sa sumpong so it was not my fault kung natakot ang mga staff sa 'yo" Sunshine replied

"May kasunod yun eh, paki ulit nga baka mali lang ako ng dinig" Benji said

"Ang sabi ko selos ka nang selos wala ka namang karapatang magselos" Sunshine replied

"Parang hindi naman ganon exactly ang sinabi mo" Benji commented

"Ewan ko sa yo Benji, kung anu-ano ang sinasabi mo, magtrabaho ka na nga lang" Sunshine said

"Tutoo ba na wala naman akong dapat ikaselos kay Jasper Miller?" Benji could not control himself to asked Sunshine.

"Will you stop asking and just continue working, halos wala ka nang nagawa dahil dyan sap ag-iinarte mo kaninang umaga" Sunshine insisted.

Benji stood up and walks to Sunshine.  He turned the swivel chair fronting him making him a few inches close to Sunshine while his both hands at the armrest of the swivel chair ensuring that Sunshine would not have the chance to escape from him.

"Sagutin mo muna yung tanong ko, tutoo ba na wala naman ako talagang dapat ipagselos kay Jasper Miller kasi mas gwapo naman ako sa kanya" Benji asked and deliberately added a phrase to Sunshine's statement.

Sunshine is holding her breathe as this is the first time that Benji has been this close to her.  She could smell his manly scent that heats up her whole being.  "Get back to your seat Benji, iniistorbo mo ko" she said

"Sagutin mo muna ako" Benji flirtly said

"Sinagot na kita ah" Sunshine said     

"Talaga, sinagot mo na ako? Eh di girlfriend na kita?" Benji replied as he moves closer to Sunshine.

"I mean yung tanong mo kanina, sinagot ko na yung tanong mo kanina" Sunshine replied without looking at Benji while trying too hard to compose herself because she's beginning to be affected as Benji's face is only  half foot away from hers and she felt that her face turns all red.    

"Do you know that you are hotter when you blush?" he asked

"Stop flirting Benjamin Rosales" she said

"Affected much?" Benji asked teasing

"No I am not" Sunshine replied without looking still at Benji
