"Is this a meeting or a date? Tell me", natatawa kong sabi. "Tell me", malamig na sabi ni Zimram.
"Pilosopo", bulong ko.
"Did you check your phone?" tanong niya.
Simula kanina hindi pa ako nag check ng updates. I pouted and checked my phone. I was taken aback to my message notifications. 18 missed calls, 89 messages from Zimram. I slowly looked at him. He drank his cofee while staring at me intently.
"I was worried about you yet I saw you at my club dancing with who is who", malamig niyang sabi.
Umawang ang aking bibig. "Wow! Ikaw nga may alagang unggoy!", na di ako makapaniwala sa kanya. He shot me a cold stare. Goosebumps, stay calm.
"She has a name, Rose"
"Oh right, oo pala may youtube channel kayo, Zimram and Zimrah", pang aasar ko because of this conversation medyo nakalimutan ko may hangover ako, is that possible?
"She's a friend", giit niya. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Doon rin naman tayo nagsimula, tss", I said.
Nagbago ang kanyang expression sa natatawa, "Are you jealous?"
"Seriously? Shuah naman, sa unggoy pa ako mag seselos?", I said acting as if I'm offended."
"Well back to the 'meeting', sure ka na? Kala ko traydor ka na", I said.
"I won't do that to you", sabi niya.
"We don't know that", I said seriously.
Most of the time, our most trustful person in our life can betray us in the times of downfall.
He just stared at me again. I rolled my eyes, "Don't tell me, staring contest meeting nanaman toh?"
"I don't want to date already", he said.
"What? Wag mong sabihin dahil sa Zimrah na yon!", gulat kong sabi.
"No!", he said.
"I want you to be my girlfriend, Rose", he said softly. Parang kanina ang lamig bat ngayon ang init na? My face is blushing, my heart is beating too fast.
Tumayo siya bigla at nag lahad ng kamay sa akin. I don't know what's happening kaya tinangga ko ito at napatayo na rin and he pulled me towards him, I can smell his manly scent!
"Can you be my girlfriend, Scarlet Rose?", he whispered at my ears. I could imagine every hair in my skin standing. The abasement of PDA! I hugged him to keep my face from public.
"Yes...", I whispered.
Binuhat niya ako palabas sa cafe! Gosh, pinagtitinginan na kami ng tao sa cafe! "Nakakahiya ka naman eh!", panghahhampas ko sa kanyang braso.
I heard him chuckled. "Damn, that was epic", he said. Sumimamngot ako sa kanya. Nakakahiya!
Magsasalita ppa sana ako kaso nag ring phone ko. Missy's calling...
"Girl! Hindi mo ako ihahatid sa airport?", she asked. Oo nga pala ! Flight niya ngayon.
"Hindi ka ba hangover?", I said. "Hangover lang toh! Korea yon", she said. Akala ko naman mag babago isip niya.
"Sige, SB airport tayo maghintayan"
"Sure, girl", end call.
Nakatingin sa akin si Zimram. "Hahatid ko si Missy", I said to him.
