I'm sorry guys, I tried to stay away from "harot" and not post anything this week but Alden's new segment and the pictures I saw online just won't stop pestering my brain.
So hope you enjoy this short convo! Advance happy weeksary and next update on the evening of the monthsary!
Happy reading! _________________________ After Alden's new segment
Rj was sitting in the host's room, busy with his gadgets when, *Facetime call*
"Hi babe, good afternoon! Miss mo na ako agad?" Rj cheerfully greeted Maine.
"Babe, have you checked twitter already? Nakita mo na reaction ng mga tao sa new segment mo?" she asked with a twinkle in her eye.
"Hindi pa, bakit? May mga negative na naman ba na feedback? Wag mo na pansinin yun, lagi naman merong negative feedback kahit anong gawin ko. Kahit nga siguro wala akong gawin, may negative feedback pa rin sigurado."
"No, it's not about that." She paused, looking deep in thought, then continued, "Well, meron ngang negative feedback pero that's not the type of feedback I'm talking about."
"Ayan, positive feedback! Game ako dyan!"
Maine smirked at this and said, "Umm, I'm not sure if it can be considered 'positive-positive'..."
Rj walked out of the host's room and tried to find a place where he can talk to Maine with a little more privacy.
"Huy, ano ba yun? Check ko ba twitter ko para malaman ko or sasabihin mo sa akin?"
"Dalawa actually yung ishe-share ko na feedback sa iyo. Eto yung first, wait, ise-send ko sa iyo thru IM."
Maine looked for the image she wanted to send while Rj was staring at her. She was biting her lower lip and didn't notice the effect he was having on her.
"There! Sent!" she exclaimed and looked at Rj once more.
*Message alert tone*
Rj opened the message and didn't notice anything wrong about it. It was his picture from the new segment that he was hosting.

"It's my picture from earlier today. Actually, magpapalit na ako ng top in a few minutes, so anong feedback about this?"
He was really puzzled - then had a sudden light bulb moment. "Saglit, hulaan ko!!! Palagay ko alam ko na ang sabi ng mga fans natin. Na ang guwapo ni teacher at kung ito teacher araw-araw sila papasok, kahit buong week pa? Or, kung ito ang teacher ng anak ko, kahit linggo-linggo ang PTA, a-attend ako? Tama ba?" he asked with his signature 'kilay moves'.
Maine laughed at his expression. "Akala mo yun ang comment ha, wait ka lang," she thought.
"Yup! May mga nag-feedback ng ganyan, BUT," she interjected when Rj started to do a fist pump, "there's also another comment for you."
"Ano yun?" he asked in a puzzled tone.
Maine tried to be serious and hold back her laughter but it ended up as a snort instead.
"Luh luh luh, grabe sya! Malapit na yung Sugod Bahay! Baka maabutan pa ng busina yang sasabihin mo!"
"E kasi, babe! Tingin ka sa baba ng pic! Dun nag-focus mga tao sa comment sa iyo! May nagsabi na 'Felix' ka daw o kaya nagsabi na kawawa naman ang future ng pamilya Faulkerson! Hahaha!" Maine laughed and tears were streaming from her eyes.
"Hala! Sa pantalon lang yun!" Rj replied as he turned beet red in embarrassment.
Maine had managed to stop laughing but is looking at him mirthfully. "Kasi naman babe, masikip daw masyado tapos nakatuck-in pa yung shirt mo over light-colored denim. And the vest didn't even help cover it up."
"Magpapalit na nga ako! Hanapin ko lang si Nay Ten, buti na lang may dala akong extra na pants," he answered with a pout.
"Uy wag ka muna magpalit! Useful yang outfit mo para sa next na feedback."
In an aggravated tone, he said, "Ano na naman yuuuun!"
"Wait lang, kuha muna akong props."
Rj couldn't see what was happening. After a few seconds, Maine is back. She's wearing eyeglasses making her look like a studious student, a prim teacher or school librarian.

Intrigued, he asked, "Ano yan, babe?"
"May mga nag-comment na they would like to see you and I together na ganito ang look - hot for teacher daw. But personally, mas gusto ko maging principal and ikaw yung teacher ng mga students," she answered with a small smile.
"Uy, role playing... I won't be averse to that," he thought. "Bakit naman?" he asked out loud.
"Kasi I'll be the principal and you'll be my pet. Ang principal usually teacher din dati. So you'll be the teacher's pet. This teacher's pet and you have to follow all my 'requests'," she answered with a naughty glint in her eyes.
Rj gulped and looked around to make sure no one sees or hears him. Her teasing tone and look has him sweating even if it was cold inside the studio.
"Babe, hatid kita mamaya after ng shoot natin ha? And bring those glasses saka yang hawak mo na stick," he said.
"Bakit naman babe?"
"Kasi, magwo-workshop tayo mamaya. Marami tayong lessons na paghahandaan. We need to start preparing kasi mahaba-habang usapan yun for sure," he answered with a glint in his eye.
"Um, okay, dalhin mo rin yung school teacher uniform mo para... mas believable yung workshop natin mamaya," she answered as she smiled at him.
"Yes mam. Kayo po ang principal, kayo po ang masusunod."
"Meng, Sugod Bahay na!" Direk Pat called.
"Sige babe, go ahead. Papalit lang ako ng pants. I'll see you tonight, mam (wink)."
"Bye babe. You better be ready for the workshop!"
As they dropped the call, they both smiled in excitement. It will be a very 'educational' night, indeed. 😏
