The Unexpected

Chapter Two

It has been a long shift and we're almost about to log. I was dealing with an irate customer when I heard a group of girls giggling in my back. Giggling and laughing  so damn hard that my customer could hear them. On an instant, I snapped. I don't like confronting anybody, but I can't concentrate on what I'm doing if these girls keeps on laughing as if not aware that people here is working. I asked the customer if I could place her on hold for a minute then I stood up.

First I saw two middle-aged ladies, probably late or mid thirties, and the a girl with a curly hair. But I can only see her back so I can't quite figure out her looks. They we're still laughing so hard as if there is no tomorrow.

"Excuse me. I'm sorry but-------" I heard a beep on my headset which means the customer I was talking to already hung up the phone. And just in time out Team Leader, Lorenzo, said "Log out guys! Everybody log out now!" Saved by the bell. That's when the girl with the curly hair turned towards me. Maybe they heard me when I tried to ask them to shut up a while ago.

"Yes?" the curly girl asked. I was stunned by her beauty. Curly hair, thick black lashes, pointed nose, beautiful face and gorgeous looks. I bet she's not a pure Filipina. She looks like a doll with her make up. I kept staring at her until one of my teammates,Jeremy, tapped my back and said Lorenzo wants us to huddle up.

"Yes?? Is there anything you want to say Mr.?" the girl asked impatiently. She's frowning now.

"No, I'm sorry." is all I said and walked away. Damn! I didn't even ask for her name. I silently scolded my self for being such a jerk But I doubt she'd give her name to me in such an awkward scenario.

Since that day I silently watched the pretty girl from my station. She's a *newbie, but I've heard that guys are going crazy on her. Weeks passed by and I still didn't have the audacity to ask for her name. She's loud, and would laugh on her teammates silliest jokes and by judging her looks, I bet she's a party girl.

Weeks past by, until they moved to a different bay. But I still don't know her name; until today. And right now I couldn't argue on the way Will described her. And if you only knew how envy I was with Will, being able to date her.

"So you're Allen huh??" Val said on a teasing tone. She looked at me and then looked at Maria. "I bet I would have to smoke alone. Seems like Maria's busy right  now." she added.

"I could go with you Babe."

"Let's go then. Let's leave Allen and Maria so they can talk privately." Val gave me a tap on my shoulder and added "Take care of her, and give her your number so she can sleep!"

"Val! Stop it!" I smiled and watched as the two walked away. I frowned when O remembered Will calling Val Babe.

"Sorry about that. Val's always like that."

"No, don't worry about it." I said and gave her my cutest smile. "By the way, I noticed Will using Babe when he's talking to Val, are they officially together now?" I tried so hard to sound as if I just wanted to know. But truth is, I don't like Will calling her Babe.

"I doubt it. Val's ex is way better than Will. I remembered she told me that she went out with him out of pity." Maria said. Then she turned red, maybe she realized that it was a secret she wasn't supposed to tell anybody. I laughed. She was so cute.

"Don't worry, I won't tell him."
