Hindi ko na nagawa pang alisin sa aking mga labi ang isang napaka-laking ngiti.

"Brad. " tawag sa akin ni Grorge. Kasalukuyan kami ngayong umiinom ng beer sa condo ko. Hindi muna ako bumisita sa bar, wala naman mga kaibigan ko doon. May tinatapos si Rod, sina Mari at Carlo naman ang nag re-review. Walang mood sumama si George sa akin sa bar, so we decided na dito nalang sa condo ko iinom.

"Kanina ka pa diyan ngumingiti, pinaglalaruan ka ba ng mga engkanto? " tanong sakin sabay abot ng bagong beer in-can .

"Gago, di ah! " sinimangutan ko naman ito.

Natawa ito. "Katakot palang ma-inlove, nakaka-high. "

"Dude. " tawag ko dito. "Is it really possible for a person to be inlove at first sight? "

Muntik na siyang masamid sa kaniyang beer. "Preno naman brad, binibigla mo ata ako eh. " umisang lagok muna ito ng beer bago ako bakingan ng tingin. "It may sound cliché but according to some loyal people, it is. "

"Okay. " wika ko at uminom.

"How's your night last night? High na high ka yata. Did something happened? " kunot-noong tanong neto saakin.

Those lips. Natawa na naman ako at parang baliw na iniling-iling ang ulo. "Puta, malala ka na talaga brad. Pa-ospital na kaya kita? " rinig ko naman ang komento ni George and just like the last time, naka-ngiwi at parang nadidiring tiningnan ako.

Hindi ko na pinansin ang mga pinagsasabi niya. "Dude, I kissed her and she kissed me back! " parang batang naka-perfect sa test na saad ko.

Nabilaukan ito ng kaniyang iniinom. "Congrats, brad!  Then your label leveled up, you're not the flirty pervert anymore. " wika niya habang pinupunasan ang bibig. Inirapan ko lang siya sa sinabi niya at pinatuloy ang pag-inom ng aking beer.

It is indeed leveled up. She kissed me back for Pete's sake! I smiled again and giggled like a fucking gay.

It's been three days since we last saw each other and because I'm kinda bored and kinda missing her, I decided to call her. After few rings, she answered.

"Hello Angela! " I said.

[Hmm?]  She mumbled. I looked at my phone, confused.

"Are you still asleep? " I asked her and heared nothing from the other line. "Hey my Angela, it's already 10 in the morning and you're still sleeping? " I chuckled.

[Hm-mm]  she mumbled her answer.

"Oh no, did you even eat your breakfast? " I asked her.

[Fuck. ] she mumbled again in a husky voice.

"Get up, sleepy head. " I shook my head and sighed.

[Oh shut up.]  With a husky voice, she answered.

"Where are you, Angela? " I asked her.

[Why do you ask?] 

"Just answer me. " I put my other hand inside my pocket.

[Condo]  she answered lazily.

"Text me your address. " I said.

[Why are you even asking me about my condo?]  She asked.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Don't be stubborn and just tell me your location, Angela. "

[I'll just text you. Don't bother coming here.] She sighed then ended the call.
