Falling
When they arrived in front of the apartment that the De Leons rented for him, Loel and Bea went out of the car.
"Bro, we can move the session to 10am. Mukhang you'll think of someone the whole night eh" Loel said which made Bea look kay Loel as if asking his Kuya to spill the tea.
"10am your face. 9am sharp tomorrow. " kaagad na sabi ni Thirdy.
"Thank you for driving me here. Thanks Doc! Hope you enjoyed the crabs and the lobster" Thirdy added.
"I love it. Please bake some tomorrow too. pls" She just did the puppy dog eyes and Thirdy can't help it "Okay. let's just pray that Manang will buy Crabs for tomorrow" He's blushing now.
"She will. Good night, Chef Thirdy"
"Good night brotha" sabay wink ni Loel habang papasok silang magkapatid sa kotse.
He smiled papasok ng apartment niya.
"so what can you say to my mentor?" Loel asked Bea.
"I fucking love the crabs. Can we keep him forever? or can I hire him sa future home ko to cook for me."
"Or you can just marry him" Elmer suggested.
at after non sabihin ni Elmer, napuno ng tukso ang sasakyan.

He didn't go to the gym today kaya feeling niya hindi siya makakatulog agad but he's wrong after he took a shower, he combs his hair and watches Chef's Table on Netflix. Hindi niya namalayan nakatulog na pala siya.
The next morning, Thirdy woke up at exactly 7am. He does his routine and bumili ng cookies in Levain Bakery. Thirdy is exploring the bakeshops around NYC. He got a list. He visited Arcade Bakery, Maman, Breads Bakery and Dominique Ansel Kitchen.
After purchasing some pastries, he went straight to the De Leon's. The guards there quickly opened the gate upon seeing him from the cctv.
Thirdy went straight to the kitchen and shocked when he found her there.
"Doctora" bati ni Thirdy.
"Hi Chef, you're here to make baked crabs right?" She smiled.
"damn, iuwi kita dyan eh" Thirdy thought.
"Uhm yea after our session." Thirdy said habang sinusuot ang apron niya. Bea is now looking for something. She's trying to cook breakfast, he thought.
"What are you making, Dra?"
"Uhm. I need to make breakfast. I forgot that they don't usually eat breakfast here." Bea said a little frustrated.
Thirdy seated near the island table and watch her. The stove is on pero wala pading mantika. She's looking for it, noong hindi makatiis si Thirdy,
"Hey! Here take these cookies. one lang ah. I'll make you breakfast. Go have a seat nalang" Thirdy pointed the seat kung saan siya nakaupo kanina.
He'll be doing Egg omelette with melting cheese and fry some bacons and cook some marinated beef strips.
"Are you a rice person or nah?" Thirdy asked
"I eat everything. You decide, Chef" she said while muching her second cookie.
Bea is super amazed gaano ka calm si Thirdy habang nagluluto. After eating all his cookies lumapit na siya kay Thirdy. She tiptoes at pinatong ang kamay sa shoulders ni Thirdy at nilagay sa kamay na yun ang ulo niya to peek ano nang nangyayari.
