"I still can't believe that you're together! And that you smooched each other in our office!"

I rolled my eyes at her. "Well, you should believe it now. Imagine one week na ang nakalipas 'di ka pa rin maka-move on?" Naiiling kong saad kay Ate Marge.

Grabe naman kasi. Halos isang linggo na ang nakakalipas pero inuulit-ulit pa rin sa akin ni Ate Marge ang naabutan niya. As if I don't know about it when in fact I'm one of the person involved. Tsaka unbelievable ba na masilo ko ang hot na si Apollo? Hello, look at my looks, it's almost godess-like.

"Kasi naman you never told me about it!" Nakanguso niyang saad.

I can't imagine she's older than me and she already have two sons with the way she acts.

"Bakit, are we close?" Maldita ko sa kanya.

Binato niya tuloy sa akin ang dala niyang siopao. Which I gladly took.

"Thanks." Nakangisi kong sabi sabay bukas noon at kumagat ng parang nasa commercial.

Iyong parang enjoy at takam na takam ako sa pagkain. I could have passed as an endorser of siopao. Tutal wala pa naman akong nakikitang advertisement niyon.

"Hoy! Akin 'yan, eh!" Nakalabing aniya.

I just laughed at her childishness. Nagkabaliktad yata kami ni Ate Marge. Siya naman ngayon ang immature.

"Tsaka nakakatampo ka ha? Hindi pala tayo close." At ipinaling niya ang swivel chair niya sa bahaging hindi niya ako makikita.

She's slouching and trying to keep herself busy in her monitor. But I know her better. She's already done with her tasks. Ate Marge's an efficient secretary. I didn't hear even a single complain about her from Apollo. Kung tutuusin napaka-reklamador ng lalaking iyon. Lalo na sa akin.

Actually I've never forgotten about it, too. It's painted in my system already. Hanggang ngayon ay may hang-over pa rin ako. Hindi ko lang ipinaparamdam kay Ate Marge na kahit ako'y hindi rin makapaniwala.

My gosh! Imagine how mesmerized I was after that moment!

I was out of my mind and nakahawak lang ako sa labi ko ng wala sa sarili nang matapos ang halik. Apollo was the one who took off my other hand who's still in his neck! Nangunyapit ba naman ako roon sa kasagsagan ng kissing scene namin! Well, I didn't feel myself doing that.. I'm just too caught up with his lips so sweet on mine..

And imagine after that kiss, he interrogated me about my cellphone! I mean pinagalitan niya ako. It's just so out of the topic! Who talks about other things after a sweet kiss? Si Apollo lang, so one of a kind. At ipinakita niya pa sa akin ang messages ko raw sa kanya saying I'm with Dazzel. Siya pala ang tinutukoy niyang sparkle guy.

I rolled my eyes whenever I thought of the things Soffia has done. Napaka-pakialamera talaga ng babaeng 'yon. Kung hindi nga lang iyon nasa bakasyon sa Paris ngayon. I would definitely have scolded her already. Partly, I'm at fault too because my phone doesn't have a screen lock and she can do that freely. I tried to put password on my phone but I seem to forgot it everytime.. Kailangan ko pa tuloy ipaayos ulit.

"Before, hindi. Now, we're super close.. Ayaw mo bang marinig ang nakakakilig naming lovestory?" I tried to blackmail her.

I'm sure she won't say 'no. Sino ba naman ang ayaw sa chika?

"Sus, ngayon mo lang naisipang magkwento. Hindi naman ako katulad ni Gina na chismosa no! Kaya huwag kang matatakot magkwento sa akin." Nakaingos niyang saad at nakaharap na sa akin ngayon.
