Maybe this time

Dionne's

I'm running late.

She said I need to fetch her at 10am but things didn't go in my way.

I needed to attend to Dani first I don't know what's going on with her and Ice.

I think mula nung party na pinuntahan namin I notice the changes on them.

At ngayong araw ako naghatid sakanya sa work niya kasi magkaaway daw sila ni Ice.

So the supposedly 10 am has been move to 1pm.

I texted her pero she didn't reply.

Nagaalala tuloy ako na baka nag tatampo siya.

Bahala na pupuntahan ko nalang siya.

So after ko samahan si Dani dumeretso na ako sa Cafe niya kung saan kami magkikita.

Her business is really nice a Cafe in day and a restobar at night very clever.

Pagpasok ko hinanap ko siya.

Iniisip ko kasi na baka naghihintay siya sa isang table pero wala so naisip ko na baka nasa office niya ito just like a typical manager.

Pumunta ako sa counter to ask.
"Ah excuse me, I just wanna ask where's Cassidy."

"Ah Mam Cassidy's upstairs po, are you Dionne?" The personnel asked.

"Yes."

"She's waiting upstairs po binilin ka niya saamin." Tumango nalang ako at sinamahan niya ako sa isang pinto, kung saan nandun yung hagdan pataas.

So nasa taas pala ang opisina niya.

Umakyat na ako I was expecting an office.

Pero it turned out to be a apartment pala.

Pag akyat ko pinto ulit ang bumungad sakin.

I texted her na andito na ako.

It took her a couple of minutes to open the door.

I stare at her pagkakita ko sakanya.

Pulang pula ang ilong niya.

Nakatalukbong ng kumot.

Magulo ang buhok.

"Hey are you okay?" I asked her

Suminghot muna siya. "Hi."

"Sorry I'm late si Ice kasi--"

"No worries, syempre you have Girlfriend duties to attend to." She cut me off.

I don't know if it's just me but she sounds irritated.

Hindi nalang ako nag salita.

"Let's cancel our date nalang."

Nagulat ako.

Hindi ko alam pero nanghihinayang ako.

Dahil ba kay Ice?

Nagpout siya at suminghot ulit. "I'm sick eh, bad timing, but you still owe me a date pag magaling na ako. Sorry pinapunta pa kita rito." She explained.

"Are you alone?" I asked her tiningnan ko yung loob ng place niya mukhang wala siyang kasama.

"Yeah." She said.

I don't know but I'm worried.

"Let me stay with you."

Cassidy's

I really hate myself today for getting sick.

Parang sinasabi sakin ng tadhana na hindi kami pwede magdate ni Dionne.
