Moncatar

004 - Tailed

ACE ESPEJO POV

   I was enjoying my sleep when I woke up with the roar coming inside of my stomach. With my lined eyebrows I jump up in my bed and walked through the kitchen to pick some delicious snacks.

I exhaled deep when I saw nothing but only vegetables and raw meat. I turned around and let my eyes roamed around, nobody's here.

'Wheres the people?'

With my laid shoulders I walked out and made my way to my room again. Scratching my head while finding my keys and wallet. Might as well buy my own food. I'm craving for something spicy. While thinking about it, my saliva can't stop playing inside of my mouth. I'm about to drool but I stop it. It's yuck.

Yawning, I slowly played my keys on my hand. Smiling to the maids I passed.

Riding my baby and fixing my helmet, I'm off to go. I can't wait to eat.

Pia's out of zone. I dunno. She's really out of coverage when weekends came. Her reason is family day. I don't go further, because I respect her privacy, though I doubt. There's something I can't figured out. Something I can't named. Something off, but I'm too lazy to go beyond our boundaries. So, I just let it slid.

Racing with those public utility vehicle and private cars. I made it in no time. They're like a turtles, so slow. I parked instantly, played my keys again and keep my smile on my lips. Roaming my eyes around to find a good restau.

"Got yah!"

I whispered to myself. I entered a Korean Restaurant. Maybe tokboki can save my starving.

Finding a vacant seat, a particular waiter greeted me with his beautiful but painted smile. Not bad. He nailed it. Just curious how he managed it whole day, but anyway, too lazy to think much though.

"Good afternoon ma'am, yes, dine in?"

"Lamesa at upuan, mayroon bang bakante?"

He stop for a few seconds, then I saw how a small but real smile curved on his lips.

"Yes, we still have vacant upstairs. I'll lead you the way Ma'am, follow me."

He gestured his hand to me. I chuckled a bit.

"Maraming Salamat."

He sideways his head a bit with my response, then lead the way upstairs.

He chose a nice spot for me, beside the opened window. A table for two person.

I sitted and looked up to him. He's watching every moved I made. I smiled to him and he smiled back.

"Here's the menu Ma'am. Feel free to chose any of those."

I nod a bit and roamed my eyes on the menu.

"Dosirac Noodle Cup, tokbokki, ramyeon, japchae, corndog, fried rice, chicken pops, at rice cake. Dalawang order, salamat."

I give back the menu, but it's like he stop breathing for a while. Shocked can read in his eyes. I chuckled again, amused with his reaction. He blinked a few times when he heard my chuckle.

He awkwardly noted my orders.

"There's still anything ma'am?"

"Wala na, salamat."

My smile never left my lips. He again smiled to me awkwardly. Then bid his leave. I exhaled when I'm left alone. There's a few couples around the corner.

I intertwined my hands above the table. Then, scratches my tummy when it roared again. Too excited eh?
