(Dominique's POV)
I am fighting a fierce battle. And my enemy is winning. It’s slowly taking over me. I tried my best to resist, really. But all my efforts were wasted in vain as my eye lids grew heavier. I can't be caught sleeping in my Prof's class again. I almost got lost, good the vibration from my pocket saved my ass.
I fished my white iphone 4s out and read the savior message out of my Prof's sight.
It’s from Jeric. He always saves my ass, even without him knowing. Maybe I'll let him win a NBA 2k13 match later. Hahaha.
Jeric: Can we change plans and eat out instead?
Me: Are you sure? I'll let you win pa naman. You saved me from sleeping in class again. :)
Jeric: Sleepyhead! Hahaha. Anyway, I like you to meet someone. Be nice and were even.
Me: When was I'm not nice?
Jeric: Palagi. :)
Me: Sayo lang yun. You're pikon kasi. :)
Jeric: Basta. Later a?
Me: Ok. My treat nalang para makabawi ako sayo.
Jeric: I got this one. It’s important. Next time ka na lang bumawi. :)
Something’s odd. What does he means by important? Well I'll find out din naman later kaya I just replied 'Ok.' to him.
After class Jeric was already in the car park when I arrived.
"Tara na. Bilis." He told me as soon as we're in hearing distance.
"Excited ka a." I answered as I ran toward him.
He opened the passenger's seat door of his black Hyundai Genesis Coupe for me.
"Anong meron?" I asked him as soon as he got on the driver's seat.
He started his car when he glanced at me.
"You always forget to strap your seatbelt. You never listen to me." He reminded me as he strap my seatbelt for me and speed off.
"Ano ba kasing meron?" I asked again, ignoring his reminder.
"Secret." He grinned.
"So nagsesecret ka na sakin ngayon?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
His grin grew wider as a reply.
"Whatever, Teng." I blew my bangs in defeat.
Jeric parked the car at Choi Garden in Greenhills.
"Not Chowking?" I teased him.
"No. This one is special." He answered.
I wasn't able to reply. His answer surprised me.
When we got inside Jeric asked the receptionist for his reservation.
So he got reservation? What's up with him? Was my best friend abducted by aliens and been replaced?
"What?" He asked me in a I-know-what-you're-thinking-but-I'll-still-ask-you-anyway tone when we got settled on our table.
"Nothing." I answered in a I-won't-give-in tone.
After 10 mins a girl about our age entered the resturant. She has long straight black hair, fair skin and brown chinita eyes. She's 5'7" tall and wears simple but still feminine make up and clothes. She is indeed pretty. The girl walk gracefully across the room and heads turn to her direction including Jeric's. Unconciously I imagined Jeric's head roll on the table. That's surely a fun sight.
