“I’m so sleepy”  I was trying to wake myself with coffee but it doesn’t help. I’m at the airport with Rena and why on earth she picked a flight early in the morning.

”I’m so sorry D! Pormise pag balik sa Manila babawi ako sayoooo!! Pero sa ngayon thank you talaga kasi sinamahan mo ko.!” Yes Rena is going back to Manila for an urgent matters daw.

“May magagawa ba ako? Of course kelangan talaga kitang samahan pero Ren it’s 3 am ohhh!”

“D ilang oras ka lang naman mawawala kay Franki” I left Franki sleeping cause Rena doesn’t want everyone to be bothered.

“Yes but Ren galing kasi tayong party and I’m a bit of hangover and now wala pa akong tulog. Pero bakit nga pala bigla ka nalang babalik ng Manila? I ask her even though I almost knew the answer.

“ There’s a lot of things to be discussed between me and my manager so I have to get back” She said but I know that she’s just trying to build an alibi.  It was so cold in the airport  and the coffee doesn’t warm me up.

“Okay if you said so.. pero Ren you should at least sent Barbie some messages, for sure na hahanapin ka niya the moment she wakes up.”

“Yeah, yeah sure I’ll chat her later. “

*Calling all passengers of flight of PZ135 please proceed to the gate no 3” the airlines announced the flight of Rena so she finish her coffee and do a little make up and left.

“Ingat Rena” she kissed me on the cheeks.

“Thank you D! See you in Manila!”

I don’t know what Barbie may feel when she found out that Rena was already gone without saying goodbye. They’re both confused and new to this kind of love but I know that they will only have to give time to understand the situation.  I hope that they will both give a chance on what they feel because they are both in fear to try something different. Love always conflict us but challenges can be exiting when you’re with someone who is willing to work out things as it supposed to be.

I’m back at the hotel and I see Barbie looking for Rena she just obviously wake up and she’s still feel little dizzy. She slept with Byel last night after that Laboracay party she refused to see Rena for a while.

“Diana! Where is Rena she’s not in our room.” She ask.
“She goes back to Mnaila a few hours ago”

“Why she didn’t say goodbye D?”

“Maybe she don’t wanna bother y’all? I mean everyone’s tired with the party and she said that she will be busy with her manager. "She look sad when I said those things cause she knew deep inside something was wrong.

“Alright D.. I guess I’ll gonna see her in Manila when we get back”  She smile and walk through their room.

As I entered our room Franki’s eyes was like a growling tiger maybe because I left without her noticing. She’s glowing the morning she wakes up and for my eyes? she is the most beautiful girl I have seen except when I see myself in the mirror.LOL

“Good morning love!” I kissed her on the cheek.

“hmm where you at? I woke up without you by my side it feels different D!” mukha nya talagang inaantok pero ang cute.

“I’m sorry Love, I drop Rena at the airport earlier this morning and I don’t wanna bother you sleeping so beautiful” I hug her tight and she got shocked when she knew that Rena take a flight back to Manila.

“Love? why did she left us?”

“ She has a lot of things to do with her career and she got an urgent meeting with her manager.” I keep on explaining and she got a little bit sad.

“Did  Barbie knew?”

“Yes she looked for Rena “

“Ohh love that was so sad..” she leaned on me and I feel a bit sleepy. Sino ba naman yung uuwi ng 1 am galing sa party tapos mtutulog ng isang oras para maghatid ng 2 am sa airport.

“Come here love let’s go back to sleep.’

“hmmm you sure you want to get back to sleep?” she ask me and I think she might be thinking to cuddle.

I chuckle and say  “ love naman,it’s too early for this pero we can do it as a morning workout” I kissed her neck.

She laughs at me. “Alright that’s what I’m thinking.... that we should do!!! let’s go workout love!”

“Do you mean an actual workout?” I ask her.

“Yes love” she laugh so damn hard. Akala ko pa naman makakapag cudllle and everything ako ngayon.

“hayyss”

“okay let’s go wake them up to have breakfast” she grabbed my hands and we go to their respective rooms. I’m so sleepy but I can’t say no to this girl’s energy as always. In fact just to see her body mukha nga talagang batak to sa gym. Sometimes I can’t resist and  my eyes are always on her body, oh that slim and tan toned skin.  But overall I love those freckles on her cheeks it might be flaws to someone but for Frankie it turns out to be her asset.





*Sterbiel

It’s very gloomy and it’s a bed weather today. I feel a sudden affected disorder by the weather. Watching the rain showers  the coastal of Boracay was one of the nicest view but instead of staying at the hotel rooms other tourist enjoy the rain while swimming in the white beach. Yet here I am in the coffee shop waiting for my ex or my architect for a meeting I’m still not ready to see her face to face but what can I do it’s for the business. Jade was an amazing person she’s truly a gem but then time comes when she fall out of love and I can’t do something to let her stay.  I have no hard feelings that she fall with someone else for as long that she was happy I’m all okay with it. It takes a year for me to fully recover and here I am going out with Ester feeling okay and in love again.

I’m 30 minutes earlier and I’m waiting for her on the edge not like before when we go out I was always the one who are late.  She enters the coffee shop and wearing a very delicate business attire and looking to myself  I’m comforted with hoody, jeans and bred af1.

She waves at me I smile to her, she put her umbrella on the rack and cleansing her wet look aura, she’s so sexy.
“ Hi Ms. Cruise, nice to see you again.” She greeted me and take a seat in front of me.
“ Wow naman napaka formal mo” I laughed.
“ As always this is a business meeting not just a catching up with an ex in the coffee shop. “ now she’s being sarcastic.
“ why do you sound bitter?” so I try to test her kung maiinis ba sya.

“luuh? Bat naman ako magiging bitter Byel? Eh ikaw tong nakipaghiwalay saken?” just a sec and she’s burning with those words. Bakit nga ba naman ako hindi makikipag hiwalay kung may mahal ka nang iba, diba?

I take a sip of my cappuccino. “Relax....okay Jade we are still friends aren’t we?

She opens her laptop and preview the designs of the resort that we are trying to build. She’s really a skilled Architect that’s why we can’t lose her.

“ So be serious Byel and if I wasn’t your friend anymore I won’t be here and as far that I am concern to you and your career please back out in this engagement.” I was shocked of what she said. 

“What?!”

“ I said Byel have you look out all the plans, design and time scope? This project was huge and with the time given by the Exposito’s to finish this elegant resort and with this design we can’t make it.’ She tries to make me understand  something.

“ I ask the raised for the project and these design was approved by Ester and I’m planning to add more man power to build this resort on time.”  Actually that was on my mind too but my dad keeps on dictating me what to do.

“This is so dangerous but if  you’re just doing this para magpasikat sa client mo then think about that you’re not building a school project to have an A+.  “

“Jade.. yes I’m dating Ester and if in case that you are jealous please set that aside kasi lumalaki na interest ng utang netong lecheng kompanya sa banko so if you can help me? Please do your job.  You know all the reason why I break up with you.. I know that you are happy with that Engineer so I choose to let go.”

“ He was there when I need you the most and he comforts me when we broke up”  she said and tear drops starting to fall from her eyes.

“ I know Jade.. you remember when we all have our time together? Paminsan minsan lang tayo magkasama pero all you are talking about was building a family, kahit na hindi ko naman kayang ibigay still I pretend to listen. Mahirap isipin yung mga gusto mo Jade, my premature mind in relationship starting to build anxiety.” My tears began to fall kasi sa tagal na naming  nag break tas ngayon ko pa lang to nasabi sa kanya. “ And when I visit you in the project site in Tagaytay for our anniversary I see you being happy with that fcking engineer, so inisip ko na baka hindi na nga talaga ako yung tao na para sayo. Na feel ko din na you always seems so stress pag magkasama at makausap tayo, hindi ko na alam kung pano kita pasayahin Jade so I choose to let go.”

“Byel stop crying.. I’m sorry.”

“Alam mo na minahal kita at lahat ginawa ko para mapasaya ka lang, pero I can’t help myself also when I’m tied with my responsibility in this company. Napaka stressful masyado kaya  wala ako sa tabi mo that time tsaka ayoko din na nasasapawan ng galit yung mood ko pagmagkasama tayo.”

“ yes I know na ayaw mo magpakita saken kapag galit ka sa daddy mo Byel but I’m the one who supposed to be the person who will understand you  in your darkest situation.”

Fact, this bed weather makes me sad.

I wiped my tears  and clear my throat. “ pero sabi nga nila diba? Past is past and siguro naman we have both move on.”

She keeps taking tissue on her bag and checking her phone with messages. For sure kasi may hard feelings saken yung jowa nya kasi sinisante ko din sa trabaho.

“ Of course. We are both professional naman so maybe now we could stop talking about our dead relationship and start talking about this stupid project of yours’

“Alright just give us that design of yours and everything will be fine, my new engineer will figure out on how to build that faster than we are expecting. “

“ So you’re not expecting any danger from this? Rushing to build this resort will cost you too much soon." I was trying to sink in what she's trying to say but I can't make up with my own decisions and break my Dad's plan.

"Fine. It's the least I can do but whatever happens ? be prepare. I'm always here for you Byel you know that..."  she puts off her laptop and attempts to leave.

"Thank you and I never stop loving you... maybe not a lover anymore but you're always be my friend. " She's very special  and I can't deny that we have a special bond together. Maybe I'm just tired of hurting myself so I choose this way to love her as a friend. 

She gave me a look that makes me wish her to stay but I can't bail myself in this kind of classic  situation. 

"Goodbye Byel... I'll just contact D with further details."

Now I'm glad that everything left unsaid was out. It's just freeing myself from what ifs and maybes. I can't imagine that we end up here talking, crying and telling about what we feel about the days we've been together.  It's like reconciling and we've like to end it on good terms. We loved, we fought and and lost each other but in the end we decided to make things possible of being friends.

"Jade...Salamat"

I watched her taking an exit in the coffee shop and knowing her as a person I got her loyalty in this company.
