dedicated to @jonachulet =)

Are you sure?

Yeah, of course I'm sure!

Sige, pero siguro naman, okay lang na ihatid kita hanggang sa parking lot?

Yeah, sure!

Thanks.

Goodnight!

Yeah, goodnight! And thanks sa paghahatid akmang tatalikod na si Griff para buksan ang pinto ng kotse nya.

A, Griff.

Yes, napalingon sya dito, at napatingin sa kamay ng binata na humawak sa kanyang braso.

A, can I see you again?

Sure, why not? I'd gave you my number, right?

Oo nga pala. Sige, I'll call. And he pulls off his hand on her arms.

Okay. Akmang tatalikod na uli ang dalaga.

Wait!

O, bakit?

Can I have a... goodnight kiss?

Ha? The truth, kanina pa nya ini-expect na hilingin iyon ni Jace.

Sa cheeks lang. I mean

Sure, she said smiling.

Really? a different glow on his eyes were seen.

Yeah.

Jace smoothly grans her face near him and give a peck on her cheeks.

Goodnight. He said.

Goodnight, thanks for this wonderful evening, she said and open the car door.

Yeah, thank you also.

Griff gets in her car. When Griff's car went out of the parking lot, Jace looks on her car.

What was that, huh? Why is it I feel I don't want her to leave? I want to be with her, and talk to her? Damn! Am I crazy? His mind said.

At the end, he decided to go to his car and leave also the place.

What? Is your blind date okay?

Okay ka dyan? Griff raised eyebrows said to Susie.

O, bakit? Na-disappoint ka ba sa nakita mo? I mean, didn't you find him attractive? Exag ba ang mga sinabi ko about him? Ni hindi ka man lang ba kinilig sa kagwapuhan nya

Well, I like him. He's really handsome and walang babaeng hindi magkakagusto sa kanya. Idagdag pang isa syang Uy. I like his scent, very manly. We've talked a lot of things anything under the moon, I didn't get bored when I'm with him.

Really? So, masusundan ba ang date nyo?

Well, I still don't know.

Ha? Bakit naman? Hindi ka ba nya na-type-an? I mean, he doesn't show any interest on you?

Griff deeply sighed.

Actually, I felt his attracted on me. But I have this feeling that his not that interested on me.

What? Bakit naman?

I don't know. But he asked my number.

Ganun naman pala, why aren't you excited?

Why should I be excited? Your the one who's the mastermind of all this blind date thing!

Oo nga, because I want your life to have a colour.

Well, sorry, my life won't have a colour even if how many Jace Uy you will introduce to me, especially I don't have any plans of giving a commitment to someone. Especially the likes of him who admitted himself to don't give any commitment on other girls.

Ay, ganun?

Oo, ganun! So stop your illusion on playing cupid on my life.

But Griff, I want you to be happy. Do you want to die virgin, or old-maid that don't-

At mabuti pa, go back on your cubicle, ha? Then, call all the sales person that you handle and bring them on the conference room. We have an urgent meeting for our newest product that the company will release, okay?

Okay! Susie can't do anything but follow what Griff said. They we're bestfriends, but still Griff is her boss in their department that's why she needs to follow orders from Griff.

When Griff went out of the room, she took a glance on her phone that's in her table.

He has my number, pero ni text wala! Well siguro nga ay hindi sya interesado sa akin at-

Her cellphone rings.. Oh! Sino kaya ito? Walang name sa phonebook! Sya kaya ito? She said to herself.

Hello? She casually say when she take the call.

Hi, it's me, Jace!

Oh, hi, Jace! Napatawag ka?

Yeah, kanina pa sana, naisip ko lang na baka makaistorbo ako sa ginagawa mo. Are you busy right now?

A, hindi naman. So what's up?

How about dinner tonight?

Ha?

Well, I really enjoyed your company last night, so, naisip kong baka naman may free time ka uli tonight.

Ganoon? hindi nya napigilan ang mapangiti, so, is this the sign na interesado sa kanya ang binata?

Yeah! I'll fetch you, ha? And don't bring your car so that I can bring you home also.

Sure, she quickly answered without having a second thought.
