Diana's POV
Sa wakas, binuksan narin niya. Mmm it smells good in here.
"Dito muna kayo, naglilinis pa kasi ako sa baba. Maghahanda narin ako for lunch."
"Sige po. Thank you tita." Pasok ko. Sinara naman agad ni Franki ang pinto.
"What are you doing here?."
Umupo lang ako sa bed niya.
"Duh, na miss kita." Sabay higa sa bed niya.
"So, how's talking to Argel?."
"How did you know?."
"Ako pa ba? I have eyes and ears everywhere."
"You're such a creep, you know that?."
"Everybody's a creep when they're in love honey. Ano ba talagang pinag-usapan nyo?."
"Bakit ba gusto mong malaman?." Upo niya sa kama.
"Nagseselos ako malamang." Drama ko. Siguro dapat na talaga akong mag-artista nito. Parang pati ako nakokombinsi na sa acting skills ko eh.
Natahimik siya.
"Diana. Mahal ko parin si Argel." She blurted. Liar. Okay, think Diana.
"Okay."
"O-okay? Okay lang sayo?."
"Ano bang gusto mong sabihin ko?." Bumangon ako at nag-abot ang tingin namin. Kitang kita sa mukha niya ang takot.
"Alam ko naman eh. You don't like girls Franki. Ayaw mo sakin. Mahal kita at tanggap kita kahit straight ka. Pero siguraduhin mo lang na final answer mo na yun bago pa mahuli ang lahat."
"Anong ibig mong sabihin?."
"Kasi kapag ako binitawan mo, hanggang tingin ka nalang." Ganyan Diana. You need to have guts. Make her feel like you've got options.
Kung ayaw niya sayo dahil gusto mo siya, pwes ayawan mo siya para gustohin ka niya.
Ganun naman kasi yun diba? We always want what we can't have. That's all I need. It's called the pull-back method. Show her you're only interested in her then pull away. Be with someone else. Tingnan natin kung hindi siya mabaliw sa kakahabol sayo, to get your attention back.

Franki's POV
FLASHBACK
"Trust me Franki, I know how someone who's in love looks at their love interest. I saw it in your eyes when you're looking at this particular person."
"Who?."
"I won't tell you. You'll figure it out just fine."
"Wait, you're referring to Diana. I know you."
"Bingo haha."
"No. Argel, this is a mistake. I'm not falling for her. Duh."
EOFB
Her eyes, nose, lips. Stop looking at me like that Diana. You're driving me insane. But then, tumunog ang phone niya.
"Hey babe, what's up? (...) I'm with Franki, bakit? (...) I know. I'm fine. (...) Really, I'm with Franki. (...) In her room. (...) Well, you interrupted our moment haha. (...) Yeah whatever (...) I love you too. Bye."
