Matt owns one of the most technologically advanced homes in the country. Ilang magazines na ang nag feature sa bahay nito na talaga namang nakakamangha iyon.
He have friends on high places and he takes advantage of it.
Inihatid siya ni Matt sa kwartong gagamitin niya at halos itanim niya ang sarili niya sa kama, para narin kasi siyang niyakap ni Matt dahil lumulukob sa kanya ang amoy nito.
She have to be careful or she'll get obsessed. Ayaw niya pa naman niyon.
Kahit naman pinagnanasaan niya si Matt, loyal padin siya kay Luke.
Speaking.
"Hi babe!" Bati niya ng makita ito sa screen ng telepono, mukhang bagong gising lang ito. "Guess where Im at?"
"Where?"
"Im home!"
"I dont see you anywhere."
"Well, I went home to Fe Juana."
"Bakit?"
"Im attending my teachers wedding, anyway, Ill be home in a week."
"Hindi ko naiintindihan kung bakit hindi ka man lang nagsabi, I am always here."
"I was telling you, then we changed subject."
"Mina, do you still love me?"
"Ano bang klaseng tanong yan?"
"Because I love you."
"And.. I you."
"Babe, lets not be distant, talk to me, tell me things,ok?"
"Yes, sorry. Ill do better."
"I need to be somewhere but call me."
"Ok, bye. Take care."
Nang maibaba ang tawag ay medyo malungkot siya. Luke had always been good to her, inuuna nito palagi kung anong makakapagpasaya sa kanya. Not telling her parents about their arrangement is her idea, so as not letting go of their own places.
Hindi naman sa hindi pa ako sigurado kay Luke, she just cant commit that way yet.
No, not yet.
Para matigil sa kaiisip ay bumaba nalang ako. Inabutan niya si Matt sa kusina, "Abby said you like pasta."
"Hindi ka na sana nagabala, hindi naman ako mapili."
"No worries, maupo ka na."
"Ill set the table."
"Forks and plate there."
Napapangiti ako habang naglalatag ng mga gagamitin namin. Its like theyre playing house. Who would have thought that this will happen? Not her thirteen year old self definitely.
Nang mailatag nito ang niluto ay sabay na silang naupo. He even set up candles and took out a bottle of wine.
"This is delicious."
"Its Moms recipe."
"Ahh. This is nostalgic, Im really glad I came home you know."
"I am too." Lalo siyang kinilig doon. He struck her chords everytime. But she know better than to see it as what she want.
Matt is sweet, he treat her like she would treat Abby.
Nang matapos kumain ay nagkwentuhan pa sila. Halos alas dose ng magpaalam siya dito dahil ilang beses ng nagmemessage si Luke.
