“Babe? Who’re you texting?” Julie said as she wrapped her arms around Elmo’s shoulders and kissed his cheek. “Wala… Kaibigan lang.”
“Malamang kaibigan mo… Abot tenga yung ngiti mo eh. Sino nga?”
“Si… Layla.”
“Ahh… Si Layla lang naman pala eh. Well, ano ba yung mga pinag-uusapan niyo at makangiti ka wagas?”
“Wala lang… Random things.”
“Hmm… Okay!”
“Pupunta ka ng school bukas?” He asked her with a raised eyebrow.
“Yup. Thursday eh. Bakit?”
“Hatid na kita.”
“Really? Ang sweet naman…” She pinched his cheeks.
“May pupuntahan din naman ako bukas kase.”
“Saan?”
“May photoshoot kami ni Layla bukas eh. Para sa isang magazine.”
“Anong mag?”
“Fashion related eh.”
She smiled. She wasn’t that big on jealousy. She trusted Elmo and she knew that he would never cheat on her. So she brushed it off. “Basta, ihahatid kita bukas before I go to the shoot. Okay?”
“Yes, babe.”
Julie and Elmo were in the car, he was driving and she was in the front seat. “Babe? Hindi naman ‘to daan papunta ng school ah?” Julie said confusingly. He looked at her bluntly and went around the corner to stop in front of a huge house.
“Layla needed a ride kase. So I offered na sabay na lang kaming pumunta ng location.”
“Oh… Babe-“
“Good morning, Moe! Hi, Julie.” Layla greeted after opening the car’s backdoor. She threw her bag inside and sat right behind Elmo. “Hi, Layla.” Julie answered her. Elmo just gave her a smile. It was an awkwardly quiet ride to Julie’s school. No one was talking.
“Thanks for the ride, Babe. Susunduin mo ba ako?”
“Umm… Hindi ko pa alam, baby. The shoot might end late.” Elmo answered her with a smile.
“Ay, Julie. The shoot might really end late kase we have to do a video shoot right after the photo shoot. And we might need to do tons of sequences. Right, Elmo?” Layla butted in.
“Uhh… Yeah. We do.”
“Um… Okay. Baka ma late na ako. Bye.” Julie bid them goodbye. Elmo gave her a smile and he planted a kiss on her cheek. “Text nalang kita mamaya, baby.” Elmo said before she could leave. She smiled at him and waved at Layla. When Julie left, Layla sat in the front seat.
“Huy, Elmo… Okay ka lang?”
“Yes. Nahihiya lang kase ako kay Julie.”
“Bakit?”
“Wala.”
“Dahil ba sa akin? Elmo, magkatrabaho tayo and you’re doing your co-artist a favor. Wala naman tayong ginagawang masama, di ba? And we’re friends. You don’t have to worry.”
“I guess you’re right.”
