2: Car Ride

2: Jeopardy is fake, my love. Live life like it's practice."

It's been a couple of days since Floy and I talked. All in all, ayos naman.

"Punta ako d'yan bukas?"

Masaya siya kausap.

"Hello?"

Masaya siya kakwentuhan.

"Baby!"

I was appalled to hear Kairby on the phone. Fuck. My mind flew away again because of Floy. Jesus Christ, this is wrong.

"H-Hm? What was that?" I asked, completely unaware of my surroundings.

"Punta ako d'yan bukas, Baby. Let's order pizza." It felt so bland. It felt like as if he was just in it for the sex.

Lagi naman eh.

Don't get me wrong. He's nice, he's sweet, he's caring and all that but how he abandoned me? For months?! Ghosted me and comes back as if he did nothing wrong, it bothers me.

I was in rage.

I hung up on Kairby and chatted Floy on Instagram.

'@xin_ister: hey, floy!'

'@regfloy: Yeah, baby?'

I was taken aback by the statement. Baby? What?

'@regfloy: I meant ***Sin, sorry.'

I smiled knowingly. Ah, it would've been great being called baby by Floy.

'@xin_ister: i don't mind the first one. haha. jk.'

I snickered in giddiness. Ako na kinikilig.

'@leean: SIN'

Suddenly, my friend-with-benefits chatted me, and yes, Kairby knows about this kind of shit too.

'@xin_ister: YES'

'@leean: missed you. punta ako dyan'

'@xin_ister: e, 'di, pumunta ka. sino pumipigil sa'yo?'

'@leean: jowa mo—ay hindi ka pala pinipigilan non HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH'

Aray.

'@xin_ister: awit sayo, sir.'

'@leean: JOKE LANG DI MABIRO'

'Di, masakit sinabi mo eh.

'@xin_ister: wala. masakit, e.'

I looked at the clock on the wall. It's four o'clock. I might go for a ride.

"'Ma—" Ay, na sa work pala s'ya.

Man, I feel so alone.

While I was opening the gate and leading my bike its way out, I saw Melo. The guy next door. He smiled and waved at me as he strummed on his guitar.

Not gon'na lie, he's absolutely cute. With his golden eyes, and brown hair—man, ang pogi.

I was riding my bike along Xevera, my subdivision, with my earphones on my ear.

Hey, feeling good, like I should.

Went and took a walk around the neighborhood.

Feeling blessed, never stressed.
