Finding Mister Right

Chapter 4

Hindi makapag-isip ng maayos si Gregory, anim na araw na simula nang may nagyari sa kanila ni Clarisse. Wala siyang lakas ng loob para kausapin ang dalaga. He can't read her mind, hindi niya alam if ok nga lang ba ito. He opened his Facebook and he saw that he's got a message in his inbox. From Clarisse.

" Goryo!!!!!! I am ok, you don't have to ignore me, don't be guilty about it, it takes two to tango... I didn't expect you to be my bf dahil lang you had sex with me... it's just a piece of hymen, it's meant to happen eventually.... losing my virginity, I mean. So come on don't act stupid about it.. the last thing I want to happen to us is totally become strangers just because of what we did."

Hindi niya alam kung ano ang sasabihin, he typed a few words and he erased them... it took him an hour just to type his reply.

. --- I'm sorry.

nagreply si Clarisse.

--- sorry for what?

--- for not believing you.

--- not believing me? what do you mean?

--- I didn't expect that virgin ka pa pala. I think that made me feel like an idiot.

--- are you telling me that you were just acting na naniniwala ka sa mga sinasabi ko?

--- no offense but, medyo magaslaw ka kasi kung kumilos, I mean you are not mahinhin kasi.... parang malandi type.

--- wow ha! feeling mo lang yun... bakit? lahat ba ng mahinhin ay virgin? at lahat ba ng malalandi ay GRO agad-agad?

--- I'm sorry, I am an idiot... I owe you lunch today. We need to talk... I hate chatting in facebook, it's not right.

--- are you sure? gutom pa naman ako. Take me to Fujisan Bento, I feel like eating a nice teriyaki beef today and tuna sushi.

--- ok, see you at 12, I will pick you up.

--- Huwag na, I'll just catch a taxi.

--- Are you scared?

--- scared of what?

--- nothing.

--- no seriously? what am I supposed to be scared of?

--- you know... baka may mangyari uli if pupunta ako sa apartment mo.

--- stop teasing, Let's just forget it... take it as a nightmare... we should not talk about it anymore... it made my life extra dramatic.

--- what do you mean?

--- nothing.

--- Clarisse what do you mean?

--- see you at Fujisan 12:00 noon. Don't be late. BYE.

Pinilit ni Gregory na umasta ng normal pero kinakabahan talaga siya. He tried to read her mind but he can't pick up anything... she has a good poker face. Lalo tuloy siyang na-guilty. Gusto niyang suntukin ang sarili, it's his fault hindi kasi niya pinigilan ang sarili niya... now he has to suffer the consequences... he might end up losing a great friend... and blow off the chance of having her as a girlfriend. He liked her all this time. From the moment she walked in to ALTEJO ACCOUNTING FIRM two and a half years ago he got curious about her. She is just full of life, she can laugh at anything even the corniest joke that a person may come up with. he can't help but stare at her when she is not looking. She is very beautiful, she's got a nice fair skin, long straight hair na laging mabango, nice clean well manicured fingernails, matangos na ilong at magandang mga labi na naturally reddish in color, she always look fresh. She could easily be mistaken as a celebrity or perhaps a supermodel everywhere they go may mga tao talagang lumilingon dito. She is very bubbly, she's always happy and she knows how to make people happy, she has a pure heart, hindi maarte, kumakain ng kahit ano basta pwedeng ipasok sa bituka. Ang alam ni Gregory, si Clarisse ay isang anak mayaman na nagpupumilit mamuhay ng simple. She decided to move to Makati to be independent, to explore the world on her own, to learn how to live a normal life. Humahanga si Gregory sa kanya dahil sa mga katangian niyang iyon, you'll never find such a pure soul anywhere else... what you see is what you get.
