P.R.N

Two weeks before the presentation, Brent and I met to start brainstorming and prepare for the presentation. We decided to meet at a coffee shop near PAU.

I was already starting when he came. I checked the time. 15 minutes late.

Subtly, my eyebrow raised at him. "Sorry, I'm late." He said.

Napatingin ako sa collar niya at napaismid na lang nang makitang may lipstick stain doon.

"You got something on your collar." I told him.

He looked at it and smirked. He even looks proud of it.

"I was gonna ask why you're late but, I think I know now."

"Sorry. Priorities."

That made me smile and shook my head. "Let's start."

Brent was easy to work with. He was really smart and he gives good ideas. He thinks very precise kaya hindi naging mahirap sa amin ang pag-collaborate.

After an hour, he started complaining about hunger.

"Are you not hungry?"

"Let's eat first." I said.

"I got it."

I was about to protest but he already stood up and went to the counter to order. Hinayaan ko na lang siya. I looked at the time and saw that we only have 2 hours left before the next subject.

"Can you eat while working?" I asked him when he got back.

Kumunot ang noo niya sa akin. "Isn't that bad?"

"We only have 2 hours left before the next class."

"Fuck it..." He muttered.

Nang dumating ang pagkain namin ay nagsimula na kaming magtrabaho ulit habang kumakain.

Habang nag-ttype ay inabot ko ang drink ko sa table.

And of course, I had to spill my drink on my uniform! Just great, Erica Vienne. Just fucking great.

Agad akong napaatras nang matapon ko sa sarili ko ang drink. Napatingin sa'kin si Brent.

"Fuck..." I muttered to myself. I was wearing our white uniform.

Inabutan ako ng tissues ni Brent bago siya tumayo at umalis. Napakunot ang noo ko sa pag-alis niya habang pinupunasan ang sarili ko.

Not a while later, he came back with a hoodie.

He lend it straight to me.

Tinignan ko lang ito pagkatapos ay tinanggihan. "No need." I told him.

"Yeah, because you wear see through med uniform while studying in a coffee shop." He sarcastically told me.

Tinignan ko ang uniform ko at nakitang bakat nga ang bra ko dahil sa pagkakabasa.

Damn it.

Kinuha ko ang inaalok niyang hoodie niya at isinuot.

Agad na kumapit sa akin ang matamis at amoy mamahaling pabango ni Brent. "I'll return it after washing it." I told him.

"As you should."

Inilingan ko nalang ang sarcasm niya at nagpatuloy nalang kami sa pag-aaral at paggawa.

We were already discussing the parts that we've done to each other when my eyes flew to the entrance of the coffee shop.

Cole entered with Tyrone, another tall guy, and a girl.

They are probably his classmates. Hindi ko namalayang nakasunod pala ang tingin ko sa kanila.
