The Chasing Game

Chapter 34: Prelude

Joaquin spent the weekend at my condo. Magkasama lang kami buong Sabado at Linggo. After the iyakan session that Friday  night, Joaquin has been more romantic with me.

Romantic in the sense of he is more clingy and verbal with his feelings. He was always cuddling me when we were watching KDrama.

We watched Crash Landing On You starring Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin. And he was asking me if he's more handsome that Hyun Bin. Nakakatawa dahil hindi ko ineexpect na mas may ikukulit pa pala si Joaquin.

We finished two kdrama within just a day. Buong Saturday, nagbinge watch kami while also flirting on the side. Nagoorder nalang kami ng pagkain dahil hindi na kami maistorbo sa panonood. I was really happy and it felt like Joaquin is just my boyfriend. He's also a good friend.

When Sunday came, I made him watch Black starring Song Seung Heon and Go Ara. Joaquin really liked it but he said the he liked Crash Landing more. Natapos din namin yun ng isang araw.

Kung hindi pa namin narealize na may pasok kami ngayon, manonood pa ulit kami ng isa pang kdrama.

"Babe, I'm looking forward this weekend again. Gusto ko na manood ng kdrama." Natatawang sabi niya before I went out of his car.

Hinatid niya ako ngayon papasok sa trabaho ko bago siya pumasok. Maybe bacause he's also threatened that I might bumped into Carlos on my way to work?

Nevertheless, I was really happy because of him.

"Sa Sabado wag nating agarin ha! Nagkukulang tayo sa tulog eh. Inaantok pa nga ako ngayon." Sagot ko naman.

"Sorry na. But really. I like watching Kdrama just how I like doing momol time with you."

Natawa ako sa kanya. Joaquin has now entered the Kdrama world and it's because of me.

"I know. Nararamdaman ko rin yan. Anyway, ingat ka sa byahe. Malayo ka pa. Malalate ka na!" I said then kissed him on his lips.

"Late naman na talaga ako. It's 7:30 am and sa Malabon pa yung trabaho ko but I'm still here in Ortigas." Sagot niya naman at humirit pa siya ng isang kiss.

"Kaya nga. Bye na! Magiingat ka. I love you!" Tinanggal ko na yung seatbelt ko saka binuksan yung pinto ng kotse niya.

"I love you too Red." Huling sabi niya bago ako makalabas.

I watched him drive away before I went inside our building.

Pagdating ko sa office, may coffee from starbuck ang nakapatong sa table ko.

There's a note na nakadikit doon and it says,

'Good morning babe. I hope you enjoyed your weekend with him but you should try spending your weekdays with me.

-Blue'

Muntik ko nang mabuga yung kape na iniinom ko matapos kong mabasa yung nakasulat.

Jusko, I was really happy na nakalimutan ko si Blue nung Sabado at Linggo. Pero ito na naman siya! Nagpaparamdam na naman.

Hindi ko na inubos yung kape. Lumabas ako at binigay nalang iyon kay Hannah.

"Ms. Red galing pa naman 'to kay Sir. Blue. Bakit ayaw niyo?" Tanong niya sakin.

"Itapon mo nalang kung ayaw mo." Sagot ko.

"Ms. Red bakit parang nanliligaw sa inyo si Sir. Blue pero diba may boyfriend na po kayo?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Hannah.
