Ace's POV's

"Ace"

I glanced at the girl in front of me. She looked somewhat different but also... beautiful.

First-time ko syang nakita with make-up and actually dressed up other than her school uniform.

Napakunot ang noo ko nang may na alala ako. "What are you doing here?"

Tinignan nya ako with big innocent eyes. "Anong ibig mong sabihin?"

I leaned back as I crossed my arms to my chest. "I mean, I didn't know you're into blind dates."

Lagi ba syang napunta sa mga ganitong mga dates?

She looked away but quickly looked back at me again. "I could say the same thing to you."

Tough.

"I'm not," Sabi ko as I leaned forward, putting my elbows sa table. "I had to do a favour from Hunter."

She frowned. "Hunter?"

"Yeah, I owe him a favour" Explained ko. "He used that favour and asked me to come here."

She nodded slowly.

"How about you?" Tanong ko. "Do you always go to blind dates?"

Lumaki mag mata nya than usual as she shook her head rapidly. "Hindi ah"

I raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yung magaling kong kaibigan sinet up ako"

"Friend?"

Tumango sya and looked anywhere but me. I used this time to raised my hand to get the waiter. He walked over confidently with a menu bago nya sinabi na tawagin sya ulit pag ready na kami.

"Thanks," Sabi ko.

"Thank you," she said in a soft voice.

He was about to open his mouth to say something pero binigyan ko sya ng warning look. He smirked, getting what I meant bago sya umalis, making sure to give me a knowing smile.

That guy will give me trouble.

Shaking my head, hindi ko mapigilan tumingin kay Phoebe. She seemed to be acting different, although hindi ako sure. Ang alam ko lang ay hindi sya yung Pheobe na kilala. The one who looked back at you like she's not intimated and talked back at you with sarcasm.

This type of Phoebe... was quiet and shy. Can't look at your eyes long and whispers when she talks.

Para bang nag transform sya.

"What's your friend's name?" Tanong ko while looking over sa menu.

"Huh?"

I smiled. "Your friend's name. You said a friend of yours set you up."

"Ah," she said nung na realize nya na ang sinabi ko. "Lenna"

"Sorry?"

"Pangalan nya, Lenna."

I nodded.

Those cousins, they always try to do something funny.

"How did you meet Lenna?" I asked since hindi ko alam na mag kaibigan pala sila.

"Kilala mo sya?"

"Lenna Cruz, right?"

"Yeah"

"I know her."

She looked down at the menu for a second before glancing back at me and forcing a smile.

"Sa work" sagot nya. "Coworker ko sya."
