Of All the Things...

'Tang ina mo BAKLA ka! It was HE

BAKLA ka rin GAGO! ME

Our eyes met.

Ay, sorry... HE

And we both laughed our hearts out.

-o0o-

We had a fight the other other day be cause HE lied.

I'm okay with whatever HE wants to do, basta HE doesn't lie about it or HE doesn't let me find out..

You were not with SHE last night. ME

I was. HE

No, because I was with SHE. ME (I was not really with SHE, I always bluff about being with SHE and HE never learns... Hehehehe)

HE turned pale.

Okay, I lied. HE

And... ME

And I'm sorry. HE

AND?! ME

What? HE

And where were you? ME

Jen helped me out with something. HE

Jen is the office slut. Pardon the French. She fucks everyone and everything that has briefs. And that's a kind description of her thank you very much.

I raised an eyebrow.

YOU ALWAYS DO THAT. HE raised his voice.

WHAT? TELL ME, WHAT DO I DO? I was annoyed by this time of the thought of HE and Jen.

DOUBT - CAN YOU NOT TRUST ME EVEN FOR A SECOND? HE

I do, its Jen I don't trust. I thought.


E KUNG HINDI KA BA GUMAGAWA NG MGA BAGAY PARA HINDI KITA I-DOUBT E DI WALA TAYONG PROBLEMA. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LIE TO MY FACE? ME

CAN I NOT KEEP THINGS TO MYSELF? HE

ASSHOLE! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A RELATIONSHIP? ME

JERK! HE

PIMPLE HEAD! ME

I ONLY HAVE ONE AND ITS ON MY BACK DUMBASS! HE

WHO YOU CALLING DUMBASS, BUTTHEAD? ME

'Tang ina mo BAKLA ka...

-o0o-

The next day, HE picked me up for dinner.

San tayo? ME

Check in. HE

Agad? ME

He had a grin on his face.

-o0o-
We checked in to 'the' Makati hotel. (Hehehe. Sabi ng boss ko, my isang Hotel lang sa Makati - un na!)

The night was perfect.

He thought of everything.

There was Jollibee Chicken with Spag. (my ultimate comfort food), pineapple juice (chilled not iced) and eat-all-you-can Chocnut in the hotel room.

Pasensiya, I spent almost everything on the hotel reservation kaya yan lang food. HE

I looked at HIM.

Its perfect. ME (Feeling ko girl na girl yung pagkasabi ko... Hihihihihihi)

-o0o-

I was in the balcony admiring Makati's skyline.

HE came up behind me and plugged an earphone in my right ear. The other earphone was in his left.

Of all the things I've ever done, finding you will prove to be the most important one... Lea sang.

Dance with me... HE

HE took my hand, drew me closer and swayed to the song.

Abot Nueva Vizcaya ang kakiligan ko... Alam mo yung feeling nung high school pag kinausap ka finally nung crush mo? Multiply it by a ton - un na!

Where'd you learn to sway? I whispered

Jen. HE

I think I'd start and end with loving you... Lea finished the song.

I was about to apologize when HE kissed me.

Happy birthday. HE said

Tripple Whammy...

Labas ang ISA pasok ang TATLO...

I swear, kung kepyas man ang MRT, wish niyang mag-menopause na lang!

-o0o-

One of the staff was lamenting on the infamous (stress on the second syllable) MRT early morning rush.

It had me smiling the very first hour in the morning and just had to text it to HE.

Maka-MRT nga bukas. Hehehe. HE replied.

-o0o-

Light moments like this are the best.

It Had to Happen...

I think its high time we see each other and stop staging run-ins. SHE said on the phone.

Oh... ME startled as we were using my direct office line

Well, i don't think you're going anywhere and HE haven't been in a relationship this long with... Uhmmm... SHE

Sa lalake you mean. ME

Huwag kang mataray -you haven't earned that yet. SHE

IMPAKTA! I thought


Oh, did not mean to. I later said (NOTE: When I do not condense my words, that means I am irritated)

So, you up for it? How 'bout Chilli's sa Morato? SHE

Yeah, Wednesday's okay with you? ME

Mga 8 pa - I have a thing on Wednesdays eh. SHE (NOTE: The thing is her novena to the Mother of Perpetual Help I later found out)

That's good for me. ME

Ok. Thanks. SHE

-o0o-

It was over two years ago when SHE and ME decided to meet.

Well, more like SHE decided...

And looking back, we have come far into accepting that the other is a shadow of the other.

-o0o-

I went in with SHE to the doctor's office.

It was painted yellow.

We sat and listened.

SHE was okay - the cyst was the cause of a plugged secretion of some sort.

The yellow in the room suddenly felt brighter.

Whew was all I can muster.

-o0o-

I arrived at Chilli's about 5 past 8.

SHE was already there. I tell you, SHE is the epitome of "on-time" which, I am the opposite of.

I went to the table where she sat after SHE gave me the nod.

Its finally nice to come face to face with you - intentionally. SHE

Same here. ME with a faint smile.

SHE ordered ahead. Yes, even what I'm having.

I hope you don't mind, I ordered for both of us. SHE

No worries. ME

Munching on the BB ribs...

So how's the sex? SHE suddenly blurted

I nearly choked on my BB ribs.

You certainly know how to break the ice don't you? ME

Hahahaha. Yes, I guess I do. SHE

Well, its not very long nor very thick, but HIS thrust are to die for. ME

Hahahaha. Alon-Alon-Ikot ba yan? SHE

Puta - sa'yo din? Ay sorry... ME

Yup - I sort of taught him that. SHE


Hahahaha. Eh di I have you to thank pala. ME

Your welcome. SHE

Queue awkward silence here.

So you love him I guess. SHE

Don't you? ME

SHE smiled.

May mga bagay that we keep not because we love them, but because they've become an invaluable part of us. I cannot say that I love HE, but HE have grown on me already. I like him around. SHE

I like him around too. ME

And that shouldn't be a problem. SHE

So ano tayo - I mean, ano ito? ME

Hindi ko din alam - first time ko 'tong gawin. But, I will tell you one thing - I wanted to meet you. SHE

Bakit? ME

HE have changed  - considerably. HE has grown to be more of a father to the twins and more of a husband to me. Your good on him and with you around, I'm more panatag at night. We are mutually benefited. Oh God, I sounded like a user... SHE

Lumaki ulo ko bigla - yes yung dalawa.

Well, I'm not exactly innocent. I mean, you perfectly fulfill your duties as a wife that when we're together, I could be just me and not always think kung paano pupunan yung pagkukulang mo. If I may so myself, you are a perfect Stepford wife. ME

Hahaha. I guess we did good with HE - didn't we? SHE

We did. ME


I'm just glad I met HIM first. SHE

Hahahahahaha. ME

-o0o-

It was a silent ride to Kopi Roti after the doctor's.

Remember Chilli's? SHE

Yes. ME

I'm glad we did that. SHE

Me too. ME.

Its not a bump...

Hey you...

Hi-yee. You okay? ME

Yeah ... You think you can make yourself free this Wednesday?

Long shot - but I'll try. ME

Oks.

Why? Ano meron this Wednesday? Novena's not til 6pm pa. ME

Yes the Novena and I need company...

Ngek. Date ganun? ME

Hey - you okay? ME after a period silence.

They found a lump - a cyst...

-o0o-

I was putting on my tie for work.

HE was already brewing coffee.

Hey, someone's calling. HE

Pasagot please. ME

HE met me halfway on the stairs.

Its SHE, my tatanungin daw. HE

-o0o-

I'm not religous.

But I am praying my ass off that it will turn out to be bengin.
