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.
