He manly smirked. "Long time, no see."

Napakurap-kurap ako. I really couldn't believe Ghunter to be here in front of me. After all these years...

"Long time, no see," I shook my head and looked at him from head to toe.

Maybe one of the reasons why I was so surprised to see him was his physique. Kung noon ay matangkad na, mas lalo siyang tumangkad ngayon.

His built didn't depict his age back then but look at him now, he has some perfect body that anyone could die for. His features were more highlighted now. Hindi na nakapagtataka kung bakit kami pinagtitinginan ngayon. He's towering over me! What is he? Six one or two?

"Are you done checking me out?" he chuckled.

I almost choke on my own saliva. Even his laugh became more manly than ever!

Time really did change a lot of things, huh?

Uminit ang mukha ko sa hiya. Napansin niya pala iyon. I cleared my throat and shook my head in surprise.

"Wow. You've changed a lot," I uttered.

His expression grew darker with that remark. I didn't know why.

Natawa tuloy ako. "But maybe not at all. You're still that uptight and stoic man I knew."

Pinilig niya ang kanyang ulo at bumaba ang tingin niya sa hawak kong paper bags. My clothes and food!

Nang nakita iyon ay parang gusto ko na lang lamunin ng lupa nang nagwala ang sikmura ko! What the hell? In front of Ghunter, really? So anticlimactic!

Hiyang-hiya kong inangat ang tingin ko sa kanya at mas lalong sumama ang pakiramdam ko nang bahagyang umangat ang gilid ng kanyang labi.

Sinamaan ko naman siya ng tingin. "You're enjoying this, aren't you? Ganoon ka pa rin—"

Hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko nang agawin niya ang braso ko. It's very sudden and tight but I couldn't feel any pain from his grip.

I tried to defend myself from that sudden act. "Hoy!"

"Might wanna tame the monster inside you," he mocked without even looking at me with his other hand just inside his pocket.

I groaned. "Ghunter!"

I had no choice but to grimace only. Pumasok kami sa isang expensive restaurant na konti lamang ang tao. Most of them were wearing expensive and formal clothes.

Wait, is this a fine dining restaurant?! I hope not! With my get up, mukha lang akong mamimili ng suka kung ikukumpara sa suot ng kasama kong naka-smart casual ngayon.

Why was I suddenly with him again?

"Good afternoon, sir! Any reservations?" bungad sa amin ng isang empleyado.

"No. But a table for two, please. Thanks," ani Ghunter.

Ngumiti naman ang kausap niyang employee at tumango. "This way, sir."

Ghunter looked at me as he released his grip on my arm, beckoning me to follow him. As if I had a choice?

Nang nakarating sa table namin, hindi ko mapigilang mailang sa sobrang pormal ng table set up. Complete from flatware to stemware. Even the napkin was presented in a very fancy way that it all looked intimidating! Nakakahiyang galawin. Fine dining is really not for me even before, alright?
