[Emery's POV]
"Take look at them. Harvey's expressions are true." looks like he fall for that girl, too. And it's not in the plan. I have to ruin the moment!
"What are you going to do, Emery?" uh, yeah. What am I going to do?
"I have a plan." bright idea. I promise! And I'll surely do that she'll never forget what am I going to do with her. *evil laugh*
"Oh. What is it? Tell me." tanong ni Lizey. Masyado ring matanong tong isang to, nakakainis. How can I shut her up?
"I'll call Maverick. And you have to call Jake. They should be in here, within 5mins. Okay?" Jake is Lizey's boyfriend, and Mav will be pretending as my new boyfriend.
"Uh, 5mi-" magrereklamo pa.
"Yes! 5mins!" with a loud voice.
Habang kausap na niya si Jake, I dialed Maverick's number.
Ringing.
Will you please pick up the phone! I'm starting to be irritated. Grrr!
"Oh. Hey, Mav! Where are you? You're not busy, right? Please, come here. I'm on the right side of the stage. I need you. Thanks!" that's it. Problem solved.
"Oh. Wait! I need you within 5mins! Just 5mins, Mav! Okay? See yah." and there I ended the call. I'm pretty sure that he'll come. Patay na patay kaya sakin yun. At ayaw na ayaw niyang nagagalit ako sakanya.
[Harvey's POV]
"Hey, guys!" the trouble is coming. Kanina ko pa alam na nasa gilid sila ng stage. I'm refering to Emery, and it sucks. She's stepping closer to us.
"Hi." I replied. Nag-sama pa sila ngayon ng kaibigan niya ng body guards.
"Hi din sa inyo, Emery at Lizey. Pati na din sa kasama niyo." bati ni Beatrice sakanila.
"This is Jake, Lizey's boyfriend." I don't care. I want them all away! Baka masira nila ang araw namin ni Beatrice.
[Beatrice's POV]
"This is Mav, short for Maverick. My new boyfriend." asar naman. Panira ng moment tong mga asungot na to. Mukhang naasar din si papa Harvey ng dumating sila eh. Pero nung sinabi ni Emery na new boyfriend niya ung si Mav, parang nagulat si Harvey. Ewan ko, baka na-imagine ko lang.
"Ah. Nice to meet you po sa inyo." nakipag-shake hands naman yung dalawa.
"Uhm. By the way, we're going to the coffee shop. Would you mind, Beatrice, Harvey, to come with us? Don't worry, my treat." nakakahiya naman kung tanggihan, mabait naman pala tong si Emery, nanlilibre. *laughs*
"Sorry, Emery. We have to go." ay tumanggi ang Kuya mo! Ayaw ng libre.
"Okay lang, Bhie. Sandali lang naman yun. Samahan na natin sila." sana pumayag siya. Gusto ko mag-kape ngayon eh.
"Wow. So, you use 'Bhie' as an endearment? Sweet!" heheh. Tinawag ko lang namang Bhie si Harvey, para pumayag na siya.
"What are we waiting for, guys? Let's go." aya ni Lizey, na medyo nainip na. Ang tagal kasi magdecide ni Harvey.
Lumakad kami papuntang parking lot. At umalis na. Ako at si Harvey ang magkasabay sa kotse. Si Emery at Mav magkasabay din. Ganun din naman sina Lizey at Jake. Mukhang mayayaman din ang dalawang lalakeng to, may mga sariling kotse din eh. Hanggang sa dumating kami sa coffee shop, nakakapagtaka to si Harvey. Hindi na kasi nagsalita, at parang wala na kong kasama. As in, ni hoy hindi niya nagawang sabihin. Bumaba na kmi ng kotse. At papasok na sa shop.
