You Belong With Me

Twenty Two.

"Ugh. 'Hey, Chan' is too simple," I said to myself.

Just call him, Portia! I was about to press 'call' when the doorbell rang.

Its the pizza delivery guy. I gave him a tip and thanked him before he left.

I ate the pizza and the ice cream on the floor, in front of my large glass window. Very unlike me. Napasinghap ako. Chandler would be the perfect company right now.

While staring at the skyscrapers and blinding lights outside, my thoughts drifted to what I saw. What was that photo all about? Dia has a boyfriend? What about Chandler? They slept together, right?

I tried to keep him out of my thoughts. Why am I even concerned about them? I was hurt! Chandler was a douche.

I took a picture of my food with the glass window on the background and put it on my IG story.

@portiasusanna: heaven

Natapos ang gabi na hindi ko siya tinatawagan. I'm still upset... and I don't want to comfort him after he left me hanging.

Mabilis na lumipas ang mga araw. Two days from now would be my birthday and my tea party! Bukas ay pupunta ako sa home for the aged. I'll be spending the day there and then I'll head to the cemetery after.

Its a Wednesday today. Hindi gaanong abala ang opisina kaya sinama ko si Michelle para mamili ng groceries para bukas. I sent the cheque yesterday so my only concern now are the food for the lolo's and lola's.

"Miss, okay lang naman po na ako nalang ang mamili. Baka mapagod ka pa."

"Michelle, I'm turning 28 not 60."

"Seryoso kasi, Miss."

Napailing nalang ako sa kanya. We made it to Landers after an hour or so.

Kumukuha si Michelle ng fresh milk nang may mamataan ako sa kanyang likuran.

Oh my gosh, its Dia again! With the same guy from her IG story! Hinintay kong matapos si Michelle tsaka kami tumulak. I purposely went to the cereals section, kung nasaan sila, kahit wala naman kaming kukunin doon.

"Miss, walang cereals sa listahan."

"U-uh, I'll get some for myself," palusot ko.

Nang makalapit, I heard Dia giggling while the guy was holding her waist. This is a supermarket for God's sake! Sinadya kong ihulog ang isang box ng cereal kaya napatingin sila sa akin.

"Oh...", I shrugged and put it back on the shelf.

"M-miss! H-hi!"

I arched my brow at her and timidly smiled. Nanlalaki ang mga mata niya. Shocked is she?

"Hello, Dia," pormal ang aking boses.

Kumuha ako ng tatlong box ng cereal na paborito ko para naman hindi sayang ang pagpapapansin ko rito.

She glanced at the guy and she awkwardly chuckled.

"T-this is Mart, Miss. A-a friend..."

"Oh, I see. I should go now."

Hindi ko na hinintay ang sasabihin niya, umalis na kami ni Michelle doon. Ugh. He was clearly not a friend!

We finished with the groceries around 3pm. Bumalik kami ng opisina pagkatapos. Hindi mawala sa isip ko ang nakita. Dia is flirting with another guy! I can't help but be sad for Chandler. He clearly liked her!

"Oh my gosh!", napahawak ako sa aking dibdib nang biglang tumayo si Chandler. Nasa loob siya ng aking opisina! Great! I should lock my doors from now on.
