Rob: And *clears throat* this is Anton. One of our senior architects and also Alex's best friend.
Anton: Hello po. Nice meeting you *while shakes Rob's mom's hand*
Mom: Nice meeting both of you. It's actually nice seeing you son with someone. I am much relieved. And good thing, she's also from work. That way, you always see each other no matter what.
All three of them were just putting up a fake smile because of the sudden turn of events.
Mom: Anyway, what time are you off? Why don't you invite your girlfriend to dinner later? Bring Anton too! Your dad would be delighted to meet them for sure.
Alex: Ahhh, ano po kasiiii~~
Rob: *Suddenly grabs Alex's hand* Yep, we'll be there. Say, meet you at 6pm?
Mom: Yeah, I'll call your dad. Maybe let's meet at SM Aura? Magpapa-manicure and pedicure muna ako.
Rob: Yep! See you later mom!
When his mom left, Alex was lost for words and it was Anton who broke the silence--
Anton: Uhm, is there something I do not know? Aside from you two being housemates?
Rob: Look guys, I am sorry. Super. Big. Time. Especially to you Alex. I put you on the spot. I was caught off guard when I saw my mom here, more so, when she started asking if you are my girlfriend. Ayoko na mag-explain sa kanya why I ditched all those dates she's set up. And since she's the one who gave the idea, so sinakyan ko na--
Anton: Anddd what are we gonna do about the dinner mamaya?
Rob: It would be a big favor from both of you if you can come, only if you're willing~~
Alex was still speechless. She didn't know what to say. She was not mad, but was just surprised. Anton nudged her--
Alex: Libre yung dinner diba? *nagtanong na parang lutang*
Rob: Yeah?! I think so--
Alex: Wala naman tayong food sa bahay. Wala naman tayong gagawin tatlo. Then--- Let's just go...
Anton: What?! Are you out of your mind?!
Alex: Ayyy wait, may lakad pala kami ni Josh--
Rob: Look guys, hindi ko naman ini-expect that you'll go. If you have commitments, it's fine. I'll just tell my mom and dad that you need to meet friends. It's all good. Don't worry about it.
Anton: It's the first time we're meeting your parents. And it's your mom who invited us over inde naman ikaw. So--- tara, we'll go.
Alex: Ha?!!?!
Anton: Tunay!!! Kaya tawagan mo na yang jowa mo at magdahilan ka. Sabihin mo magdidinner tayo. And I'll call Luke.
Rob: Guys, sobrang thanks! I owe you!
Anton: And kayong dalawa, ayusin nyo ang gf-bf front nyo mamaya para mukha kayong kapani-paniwala. *while leaving the two to call his bf*
Rob: Sorry, Lex.
Alex: *Puts up a sheepish smile*
