When we both arrived at the cafe in BGC, Diane and I looked up at the menu and there were many lots of good things on the menu so we both had a difficult time choosing.
She told me what she wanted and left to pick our seats
I noticed in the corner of my eye a familiar was a tall guy with black air and a tattooed body as he was facing the counter.
I can't help but not to roll my eyes secretly, hoping it's not the guy I'm thinking of in my mind
Nevertheless, I walked up beside him to the counter and smiled at the lady
" Hi, ma'am? What can I get for you po? " She asks and I look down at their menu
" Can I get one iced mocha latte, one iced matcha latte, a slice of banana cake, and a chicken sandwich?" I said and she nodded her head
" Small, medium, or large po ba size ng cups? "
" Medium please " I responded and took out my wallet from my tote bag, she smiled and I handed her the cash.
I slide to the side to give the other customer a space to order but then again, I bump into someone
" I'm so— "
" You again? "
Before I can even apologize to the person I just bumped into, hearing the familiar deep, husky smooth voice again made me irritated. I looked up and met's Dwight annoyed face
I can't help but not to swallow the lump in my throat when I see him again, gosh his so tall
And how he looks down at me. It's like something else
" Liit nga naman ng mundo, dito pa tayo nag kita hulit" I murmured under my breath and looked away, I heard Dwight let out a scoff
" Can't you just apologize? " Dwight says
making me look up at him, confusedly and I furrowed my eyebrow
" Apologize for what? " I asked and he made a 'tsk' sound
" For bumping into me two times... Because of you're clumsy ass " He says and whispered the words in the end
thinking I won't gonna hear it, my eyes widened and I let out a small gasp
" Excuse you, just because I bumped into two times doesn't mean I'm clumsy, ganyan ba talaga ka babaw ang pag tingin mo sa tao? " I asked
and noticed that he clenched his fist, he looked down at me with a cold glare in his eyes
" You're stupid " He mumbled, I grit my teeth.
I was just a few seconds away from slapping him across the face, but I needed to control myself because there were lots of people here in the cafe
" Um— excuse me, sir, eto na po order niyo "
We both broke our eye contact when hearing the lady's awkward voice.
Dwight let out a small sigh and grabbed his order from the tray as the woman looked between me and him
" Thanks," he said.
I watch him turn around and leave with another girl in his arms. She smiled up at him, as Dwight leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips as they both walked out of the cafe
I felt a slight pain coming through my heart. No way I'm feeling jealous.
" Ma'am, order niyo po "
I grabbed the tray and thanked the lady
I was going to walk away until she spoke again
" Ma'am, ang ganda niyo po. Pwede pong pa picture? " The lady asks and takes out her phone. I was quite surprised but I didn't hesitate
" Naku, ang ganda niyo po ma'am!, model ka po ba? " She asks and I let out a small laugh, shaking my head
After a while, I looked around the first ground I noticed that Diane wasn't anywhere, so I headed up to the second floor and there I saw her, wearing on a seat while taking selfies of herself
I slammed the tray into the table causing her to jump
" Ano nanaman? " She asked as I took a seat and gave her her order
" Dwight. Nandito siya kanina and my god, ang laki talaga ng standard ng lalaking yun " I explained and Diane let out a small laugh, shaking her head
" Get used to it, lagi naman siyang ganon " She replies.
The two of us spent our time inside the cafe, talking and telling stories to one another. As we both left the cafe, me and Diane walked around the place.
I stopped in my tracks when I saw Dwight's face on the large TV screen on a building
I took a step closer and furrowed my eyebrow. He was wearing a jersey and holding a basketball ball in his hand
" Naka tingin ka nanaman sakanya " I heard Diane mumble beside me, then I snapped out of my thoughts and looked away from Dwight's face
" I was just looking," I said
and locked my arms to hers as we both continued walking in the side street alongside the other strangers
" Right... If you want to know, he's very good at basketball, already played internationally a few times, and is considered to be one of the great players in our university " Diane explains

When I got back home, I greeted Lolo and Lola since they were waiting for me in the living room. I gave them the food I bought for them earlier while at BGC
To head back to my room, I removed my clothes and stepped inside the shower.
As the warm water hits my skin, I squeeze my soaking hair and look down at the floor
I was standing outside James's apartment, knocking a few times at the door and waiting for him to open it. I bit my lip and dialed his number, but there was no answer.
So I decided to slip off a pin from my hair and use it to open the front door lock
I furrowed my eyebrow in confusion as to why his apartment was dark, I opened some of the lights and saw bright-colored heels thrown on the floor
That's not mine
I thought to myself, I at the hallway where his bedroom was and noticed the door was slightly opened. I threw my bag on the couch and walked inside
Tears pooled in my eyes when I saw what was happening inside his room. Their naked body covered in the blanket, his body towering over the girl beneath him
The girl opened her eyes and saw me, she immediately moved James out of her, and his eyes widened when he saw me
