So I went out to buy chocolates. Valentine's day na tomorrow and I'm planning to give Jordi some. Sinunod ko lang yung suggestion ni Gabs because I didn't really know what to get him. Alangan naman flowers diba? Hindi practical.

I was trying to find where the Royce' Chocolate place was when I bumped into someone.

"Alli, hi!" He said.

"Uy, hello." Sabi ko naman, awkwardly. Ang awkward naman kasi talaga! Parang nung isang araw sinampal palang ako nung girlfriend niya.

"Valentine's Shopping?" He asked.

"Yeah." Sabi ko.

"Can I tag along?" He asked.

I was contemplating kaso bigla niya nalang ako hinila sa kung saan.

"I'm really sorry about Thia." He said while we were walking.

"Sure." Sabi ko. Wala naman kasing ginawang masama si Eli. Yung girlfriend niya yung nanampal at nag-eskandalo.

"We talked about it and she finally understood where I was coming from. She won't bother you again." He said.

"Good. Baka next time di na ako makapagpigil." I told him honestly.

"I know. I'm sorry about that and I'm sorry about being such an ass back then."

I shrugged and chuckled. "Welp. You kinda still are."

He laughed also.

Pagdating namin sa Royce', sinamahan niya parin ako mamili.

"One au lait and one mild cacao please." I told the staff. I didn't know what Jordi liked so I just chose the mild and safe ones.

"Isang matcha din, mild milk, and the mild bitter potato chip chocolate one." I'll give the girls chocolates too para di sila lonely ngayong Valentine's.

I also bought another one for Eli. Thank you lang kasi sinamahan niya ako.

"Here. Happy Valentine's." I told him.

He was a bit shocked but he smiled. "Thank you. I'll treat you coffee!"

I said okay. Wala naman sigurong masama? I was sure now that I wasn't in love with him anymore because I already like someone else.

"It was partly true, you know." Sabi niya.

"What is?" I asked. Ang random kasi.

"The reason for our break-up. I still like you." He said while smiling bitterly.

"Well, I don't anymore." I told him.

"I know. You like that GDL kid." He smiled.

I smiled too. "Yeah."

We were busy reminiscing stuff that we didn't notice that it was already 10 PM and closing time na ng Mall.

"Hey, I'll take you home." He said.

"It's fine. I brought my car." I declined politely.

"Okay. Message me when you get home?" He asked.

I gave him a smile. "I will. Ingat, Ramos."

He also smiled at me before he went inside his car.

I gave out a sigh of relief. At least this part of my life finally had good closure.
