Minah stood up holding the phone in her ear as she walked away from our booth. 

I wiped my mouth after finishing my food

"Why Bada?" Jackson asked out of nowhere

"Why not Bada?" I asked him back and smiled 

"You seriously don't remember me?" He asked as his forehead creases 

"Why should I remember you?" I asked as if he's asking a very ridiculous question 

"2003, Philippines?" He pulled out his wallet and slide out a picture and showed it to me 

"2003, Philippines?" He pulled out his wallet and slide out a picture and showed it to me

What? What?... WHAT?!

I grabbed the photo from his had and looked at it intently

I turned it around 

Jackson & Eve, 2003, MNL.

"Why couldn't I remember this?" I asked and my brain couldn't comprehend the fact that I could not recall knowing him as a kid 

"It's been years ago... Thinking about it now, how can you even remember that?" He said resting his chin on his palm 

My mouth is still glued to the floor with this revelation

 "Hey... Bada is asking for me to go to the studio, I remembered telling her I don't have plans today yesterday before you messaged me that we should meet up in the morning..." She said pouting

"That sucks I really need you today" I exhaled 

"If I don't go, she might grew suspicious" She said giving me a hug 

"Plus, Jackson will help you... Right?" She said looking at Jackson with a threatening voice

Yeah right... 

"Whatever" He said finishing his drink 

"I love you, forgive me okay?" She said kissing me on the cheeks and grabbing her bag and jacket

"I don't get it, how did I know you?" I asked him still filled with confusion

"My Mom and your Mom became friends when we first arrived on the neighborhood... She must've thought oh look another foreigners we're not alone anymore!" Then rolled his eyes

"Do you have any other characteristics than being an asshole?" I asked him squinting my eyes in annoyance 

"I have other characteristics, you wanna get personal and know all my deep, darkest secrets" He replied suggestively with sexual undertones I presume 

"I'd rather stab myself in my carotid artery" I said rolling my eyes this time around 

"What are your plans I don't have all day" He said fixing his sunglasses 

"Actually... You have the whole day, Minah sent me your whole schedule... You should be going out with Minah today but since she's not around you'll be with me" I smiled annoying him even more
