"You've gotta be kidding me," Maine said.
"You don't want this right?"
"Yeah, but to pretend Richard's my boyfriend?! Hell no! You know my reason why I'm dating him. I don't want him to get the wrong idea."
"He already got the wrong idea," J chuckled. "Sagarin mo nalang."
Maine started thinking.
What if J's plan works?
No, he will get the wrong idea.
But what If I tell him to pretend? Maybe that'll clear things.
"I'll do it," Maine said.
"I'll tell him to pretend to be my boyfriend," Maine said.
"Pretend lang?" J asked.
"J...not now, please? One at a time."
"Okay," J said and shut her mouth.
I hope you move on from her, Maine, J thought.
