Uncertain Chances

6: Chapter Six

Fivo POV

2 years na. Kamusta na kaya siya? Hmmm.

Aissa looks the same like her. Her actions, her favorites, aaah, almost all of her. I hate it when I think of her whenever I’m with Aissa. I am admitting that I happy with the thought of HER on Aissa.

Aaah, this is all wrong. All this time, why can’t I just forget everything about you?

Fivo! Are you free tonight? Let’s have a dinner in our house! If it’s okay with you? Text back. :)

FLASHBACK

*beep*

1 text message received from Alex.

Fivo! Are you free tonight? Let’s have a dinner in our house! If it’s okay with you? Text back. :)

Dumating na pala si Alex. Hmmm. I missed her so much. Buti na lang tinext niya ako agad.

When did you arrived? I missed you. Yeah, dinner! What time?

I texted Alex.

*Alex calling*

“Fivo!” Excited na sabi ni Alex. “I arrived last night. About 11pm. I chose not to tell you. Surprise thing actually! Haha! Wai-t, are you surprised?” Tanung niya.

“What do you think?” pang aasar ko.

“I hate you! 7pm later. Buy me some cassava and banana chips. That’s your punishment! Bye!” utos ni Alex.

*end of call*

That’s the reason why I really love that woman. She’s so moody and unpredictable almost all the time. She came from Australia. Business trip. She was not here in the Phils. for almost 3 mos. now. That’s why I really missed her.

Alex. She is my girlfriend. We’ve been together for 3 years already. Alexandria Moreno is her real name. She is working at their own company as the manager of Finance Department. Lots of business trip. 

We’ve known each other by common friends. Alex is a friend of my friend’s friend. Confusing, right? Hahahaha! :D Alex is Cate’s friend which is happened to be the friend of Mon, my bestfriend. We met up in a birthday party, Mon’s birthday party. We are formally introduced to each other. She’s simple yet elegant. That’s my first impression to her. 

Since then, we are always with each other. Parties, hangouts, and girls shopping’s. With that, we became close. As time goes on, we became closer. 

Courting her was never in my plans. I have this admiration for her. I’m having this feeling of falling for her. I’ve seen her in her greatest and in her deepest moments.

But there’s this one thing that seems to bother me, her ex-boyfriend which is also part of our barkada. Even though, her ex has a new girlfriend now, I can see the love in her eyes for her ex. In short, she has not moved on yet. 

There are times that I tell myself to be contented with what we have right now. Still, there is something inside me telling me not to stop, to pursue whatever feelings I have for her. 

“Alex, can we meet up tonight?” unexpectedly, I said that, emotionless.

“Ah, why?” she questioned.

“Buying gift for my Mom! Needing help! Are you free?” I said tensed.

“Ahh, sure! What time?” – Alex
