"hey are you listening?" javi asked tapping my shoulder.

"huh? What? I'm sorry?" I said, smiling, putting my phone down.

"I said, magkwento ka naman." javi said, I looked around and everyone was looking at me.

"about?" I asked cluelessly.

"about you and tyler" kobe said, ngumiti ako.

"what about us?" tanong ko, peeking at my phone.

"kanina ka pa silip ng silip, are you waiting for tyler's text?" juan asked, I smiled.

"luh kilig na kilig?" ricci teased me, I rolled my eyes.

"he's going here later, be nice ah!" sabi ko bigla, napatayo si kobe.

"why is he going here?" kobe asked, everyone was staring at him, he was towering over us, sa tangkad niyang yun.

"bawal ba atenean dito?" I asked looking around rodics. Napaupo nalang bigla si kobe.

"hindi ka kasi pumunta sa birthday ni kobe, tapos nag beach pa kayo ni tyler kaya grumpy siya." louise said, kobe rolled his eyes.

"I didn't need her to go, pauline was there and she gave me a dog, di ko napansin na she didn't co—" kobe stopped when juan punched his shoulder, napalunok si kobe. I looked at the floor and smiled.

"I-I didn't mean that agatha" kobe said in a low voice, I tucked my hair behind my ears.

"okay lang, I know you meant it. It's fine, I swear." sabi ko kay kobe, all of us were silent. Especially after what kobe said.

"tyler's near, oorder ko lang siya ng food" I said, standing up to order 1 tapsilog with extra rice kasi tyler just finished his training.

"Marshieee" I squealed and nearly ran into tyler when he came in carrying marshie, Tyler smiled, his eyes disappearing.

"bakit si marshie lang may kiss?" tyler joked, ang hindi alam ni tyler, palaban ako, so I kissed his cheek. Namula si tyler which made me smile even more.

Buhat buhat ko si marshie, while I was pulling tyler papunta sa table namin,

"guys, this is Tyler Tio, Ty, that's juan, javi, ricci, this is louise, and that's kobe" I said, letting tyler meet everyone.

"and this witol dog, is marshie, say hi marshie" sabi ko, marshie let out a little bark.

"eat ka na ty." I said, he was sitting beside me.

"kayo? Why am I the only one eating?" tyler asked looking around the table, I was scratching marshie's head kaya the dog was quiet.

"we ate na kasi" sabi ko,

"nakakahiya naman" tyler said, everyone was still quiet, nanonood lang sila sa amin ni tyler.

"kain na ty, baka gusto mo subuan ba kita?" pagbibiro ko, tyler turned red again and started to eat.

"you want rice pa?" I asked, tyler shaked his head kasi tapos na siya kumain nung second cup niya.

"what drink do you want?" I asked him, looking at the television which displayed their menu.

"water lang, but I have my hydroflask naman." he said, I nodded.

"kaninong dog yan?" louise asked, which broke the awkwardness of the group.

"sa akin." I said, playing with marshie, tyler din started to play with marshie.

"I thought you hated dogs?" tanong ni kobe, ngumiti ako ng pilit.

"but you love them." sagot ko, everyone was silent again.

"so that was supposed to be for kobe?" tanong ni juan, I nodded. Showing everyone marshie's tag.

If I am lost, please return to Kobe Paras

"why didn't you give the dog to me?" kobe asked, his eyebrows scrunched up.

"wag na, one dog is enough for you." sagot ko, petting marshie na nasa lap ni tyler.

"plus napagawan na nung ate ni ty, right ty?" I looked at tyler and he nodded his head.

"nasa car na yung bagong collar, plus ate bought clothes for marshie" sabi ni tyler.

"I fell in love with this cutie naman na eh" sabi ko,

Everyone in this table knows how much I disliked dogs, I used to cry and sumampa kay javi whenever there was dogs around, and sa gomez de liano house, maraming dogs, so lagi akong nakakapit sa likod ni javi. But I endured all of that for kobe's gift.

"which cutie? Marshie ba or Tyler" ricci joked and I smiled.

"malay naman natin." sagot ko, which made kobe's eyes widen, pati na rin si tyler na singkit ay nanlaki ang mata.
