Chapter 2: Arcades

Stell's P.O.V

"Eto na ang kape mo Ja-" natigilan ako ng makita ko na may kasama pala si Jah.

"Sino yan Jah?" tanong ko.

"I'm Josh Cullen Santos, Josh for short" sagot niya at nginitian ako.

I smiled at him at binigay kay Jah ang kape niya, "You want coffee? or anything on our shop?" I asked.

"Huwag na, nakapag starbucks na ako bago ihatid si Jah dito eh" he answered.

Nag kwentuhan lang sila hanggang sa mapag desisyunan na naming umuwi. "Sir, Una na kame ni Ken" I said politely.

"Sure, see you tomorrow!" I just nodded in response.

"Uy Ken! Mukhang ang lalim ng iniisip mo ah, ano ba 'yan? care to share?" Kanina ko pa kasi napapansin na parang may sariling mundo 'tong si Ken eh.
"Wala naman, 'di naman 'to big deal" sagot niya at nginitian ako.

'No. Alam kong bigdeal yan, kilalang kilala kita Ken 'wag ako.' i thought.

"Sus! Kung tungkol 'yan kay Jah 'wag ka na mag alala, cute lang sila tingnan nung kasama niya pero friends lang sila" pagpapakalma ko sa kaniya... 'siguro'... He just smile and nodded.  Pagkatapos no'n ay pumasok na kami sa sarili naming kwarto.

Ken's P.O.V

Pagkatapos ko mag half bath at magpalit ng damit ay agad na akong humiga sa kama, nakakapagod ang araw na 'to, 'di ko alam kung pagod ba ang nararamdaman ko o lungkot.

My phone vibrated, sino kaya nag text, gabi na eh.

I froze when I see the name of the texter.

Jah♡

:Ken!
:Ako 'to si Jah. Eto pa den ba number mo?

Yes, eto pa rin naman number ko. Bakit? :

:Buti naman, free ka ba tomorrow?

After work siguro Jah, mga 5:00 p.m siguro. :

:Good aayain sana kita kumain sa labas, tayong dalawa lang. Bonding siguro :)

Sure sure! Saan ba?:

:Diyan lang sa mall malapit sa shop no Kuya Sej.

Okay! See you! :

:Okay, good night!

Good night :) :

Third Person P.O.V

A smile skip from his lips, just the thought of him and Justin being together tomorrow is already enough to make him smile. He's whipped and inlove at his best friend– His best friend during their high school days.

6:00 a.m

"Ken! Kilos pagong ka na naman, bilisan mo na baka maunahan tayo ni Sir. Sejun mayayari ka talaga saken!" Sigaw ni Stell.

"Saglit lang naman,malapit na!" He shouted back.

"Gusto mo lang magpasikat kay sir Sejun eh, dinadamay mo pa ako."  Ken thought.

"Oh tara na, baka hindi ka pa makapag pasikat kay Sir Sejun eh" he smirked.

"Ulol! Bakit parang bihis na bihis ka? May pupuntahan ka ba?" tanong ni Stell.

"Wala naman, inakit lang ako ni Jah punta daw kami sa park, bonding daw kaming dalawa" proud na proud niyang pagkakasabi.
"Good luck! Sana jowa mo na 'yan pag uwi mo ha" Sabi ni Stell. "sana nga"

*******

The whole day in the cafe went fast, just taking and giving their orders.

It's exactly 5:00 in the afternoon. I'm still here outside the shop waiting for Justin to text me if he's in the place where we supposed to meet or he will pick me up here. I'm in the middle of my thoughts when my phone vibrated, he texted me.

Jah♡

:Ken, malapit na ako sa shop. Sabay na tayong pumunta.

I smiled after reading his text, and replied..

Okay :) :

I waited for almost 5 minutes. Maya-maya ay may nakita na akong sasakyan. It stopped infront of me.

"Sakay na" he started.

"Baka gabihin pa tayo" I smiled bago pumunta sa tabi ng driver's seat.

"Wear your seatbelt" he said, I just respond him with a nod. shit... he smells so good today.... And he started driving. Sobrang tahimik sa loob ng sasakyan, before I decided to break the silence.

"How are you and Josh by the way?" I asked, kinakabahan ako sa isasagot niya.. he looked at me

"Me and Josh? We... we're okay, I guess?" He smiled.
