Miss Serial Dater Meets The Geek Next Door [COMPLETED]

Chapter 4 - I have a Proposition [Edward]

"Waaaah...why oh why? Bakit?"

The girl is crying very loudly. Ansakit sa tenga!

"Huy Maymay, tumigil ka na nga diyan. Nakakahiya ka." Her friend is trying to stop the girl's wailing.

"Ang sheket sheket kase. Huhuhu." *Sniffles* *Sniffles* *Hiccups*

Okay, she is downright cute...a little bit annoying but cute!

"I'm sorry, Miss. Let me make it up to you."

Huh?! She stopped. Was she faking it?

"How?" She says. She's ruined her make-up with her crying and looks like a raccoon right now.

She continues, "Hindi mo ba alam na dahil sayo, nasira reputasyon ko?! Wala ng makikipag-date sakin. Huhuhu. Ngayon pang ready na ko magka-boyfriend!"

"Uh...Maymay...di ba dati ng sira ang..."

She cuts off her friend. "Bes, akala ko ba kampi tayo?"

"Oh, good! I need a girlfriend, too."

"Tado 'to ah. Ano bang palagay mo sakin?!"

"Bakit? I thought you wanted a boyfriend? I'm offering myself."

"Ano bang palagay mo sakin, altar? May alay, ganun? Saka porke't nag-volunteer ka tanggap ko na agad-agad? Walang courtship?!"

"Bes, wag ka ng choosy. Si Mr. Pogi next door na yan...Di ba palagi ka nga..."

She nudges her friend to stop and says, "Pat, pag di ka tumigil mawawala yung weekly carrot cupcake mo."

"Bully! Wag yung carrot cupcake, Bes. Happiness ko yun eh. Mas mahal ko pa sa jowa ko yun." The friend mimes zipping her mouth shut and throwing away the key.

"Wait. You don't understand. I'll explain my proposal in my house. Let's go?" I offer my hand to help her stand. She's sitting on the ground and her dress is ruined.

"Okay. Pero since sinira mo na rin lang ang date night ko, ikaw ang manlilibre sa dinner ngayon. Gutom na ko pakain ka habang ini-explain mo yang proposal mong yan."

"Okay."

"I haven't introduced myself, I'm Edward."

"I know. Ako si Maymay. Ito naman si Pat, bestfriend ko. Naintindihan mo ba sinabi ko o kelangan ko pang mag-English?"

"Oo. I'll let you know if I haven't. There are still some Filipino words I don't understand."

I continue, "Since we're waiting for our food to arrive, I'll explain my proposition..."

"...so that concludes my proposition. Will you take it?"

"Pwede bang pag-isipan ko muna? Saka take-out ko na rin itong isang box ng pizza. Kelangan ko ng midnight snack. Mahirap pag-isipan yang proposal mo."

"Sure...when will I know your answer? Sana before Monday."

"Bakit before Monday?...Ah, oo nga pala. Gets ko. Sige Sunday malalaman mo. Magluto ka ng masarap ha. Or take out ka ng tacos. Damihan mo na kase isasama ko ulit si Pat."
