Then There Was You

Den's POV

Day by day, Chen started to change. We fight regularly. But, I'm trying to understand him. I know he's having a hard time now since he's on his senior year in college. Stress lang siya. I kept reminding that to myself. Besides, few months from now, he'll be graduating. I'm so happy that we're making progress and slowly achieving our goals while we're together.

"Hey, why don't you date Charo. We know she's head over heels with you." Vic said.

Aly and Vic are here in the cafè. Hanging out with my boss, A.

"I'll date her if she can give me a fucking country. How about Canada as a gift?" Aly says while laughing.

Oh God, he's so full of his self. But hey, I get his point. He won't involve his self with someone not as rich as him. For fucks sake, he's Aly Valdez, the third generation's only son of Valdez Clan. His family owns Valdez Group, they have thousands of Subsidiaries. They are one of the reasons why Philippines Economy suddenly boom. They are known locally and internationally.

"Den, give us some soda here. Thank you." Boss A said.

I nodded and gave them one soda each. They said thank you in unison. I took a glance on Aly. He's busy texting with someone.

"So, found someone interesting?" A asks Aly.

"Ah, nope. Just my Dad saying he ordered cake for me." Aly said.

"Your Dad really knows your birthday, I envy you for that!" Vic said while punching Aly's arm.

"Of course. I'm Aly." Aly responded and punched Vic's arm.

"Oh yeah. You're Aly and hey, you still don't have plans." Boss A said.

We don't have customers right now since it's not our peak hours yet. I just stayed standing in the counter.

"As if you have plans now. Hey, Vic I'll ask some favor from you." Aly says then show his phone to Vic.

I'm not eavesdropping, they're just so loud.

"Oh, hey. When will you handle your family business? You know? Para naman makasama ka namin sa convention?" -Vic.

"I'm handling it now." -Aly.

"Wow, so we should expect to see you more often???" -A.

They continue talking about some stuffs, Vic sometimes teases me.
