You Like Me?! | ✓

| 29 |

It was a few days before our upcoming flight, and I promised to meet up with my friends for the last time before going back. We planned to meet up in a popular coffee shop that we used to go to all the time before.

The girls were begging me to bring Grayson with me so they could meet him. I wasn't really planning on bringing him with me considering he brings so much attention to himself. When we were out adventuring and exploring places here, people kept looking at him like some Greek God, mostly girls were looking at him.

More like gawking at him. I didn't really mind at first, but it was really getting annoying though.

Grayson asked me where I was planning to go while eating his dried mangoes that he has been talking about. I told him my plans and mentioned to him that my friends wanted to meet him, but I don't think that he would be comfortable with it. He said that it was fine and that he would tag along with me.

So, here we are, occupying two couches and a large table filled with our drinks and pastries.

" Shuta ka. Amputek, who has eyes like blue kaayo. " Vanessa looked at me in shock, switching her gaze between Grayson and I. "Richard Madden is that you?"

Even Kyra was flabbergasted. She had to remove her glasses a couple times to see if her eyesight was okay.

" Charr! Sana ol! Dzaee, ask him daw kung naa siyay else na amigo na pwede ma LDR nako or so chat lang or like instrested lang gud. I'll send my Instagram or Snapchat nako. Charr lang. Pero like girl... " Serena exclaimed loudly with no shame.

Grayson timidly waved his hand at them, probably because of the stares that he's getting.

Since it was a little cloudy today, he decided to dress into a pair of black jeans, a white shirt, and I was just wearing

" Mura mog buang mga dzaee." I said. "So, this is Grayson. Grayson, this is everyone. The crackheads I became friends with when I was here for a year." (You guys are like crazy.)

"Hoy ! I'm offended." Theo put a hand over his heart in a very dramatic way. "I'm Theo, by the way. Excuse my English, ha? I almost failed my English class one time."

"I feel you, dude." Grayson chuckled a little. "But if it weren't for Maureen, I would be dead."

Everyone else introduced themselves and they seemed to get along quite well for their first meeting. Grayson had warmed up to them pretty quickly.

"Hello, I'm Vanessa. Nice to meet you." Vanessa held one hand out for a handshake. "If you want to have all the embarrassing pictures and videos of Maureen, I got you. I have an album in my phone full of it."

"Nessa! Mamatay jud ka ron. Sige suwayi kay duklon jud tika. " I showed her my fist and glared at her. (You will die soon. Go ahead and try because I will punch you.)

She stuck her tongue out at me in a childish way.

"Sure. Do you have Instagram or something-" He began but I smacked him in the arm.

"Bitch, ask daw siya kung naa siyay friends na single. Charot lang . Kay ganahan ko mamiga. RAWR! AHAHAHHAHA! Joke lang puta! " Vanessa exclaimed.

We all laughed except for Grayson who had a confused expression written on his face. I had to become his translator for that day.

I playfully rolled my eyes at them before telling my out of place boyfriend what we're talking about. "Serena wants to know if you have other friends that are single and might be interested in having a conversation with her or what not. An online buddy-buddy, you can call it."
