This Could End

Chapter Six

I was never into using my phone and lurking in social networking sites. I was too busy and I thought I was better off doing something more productive, or maybe actually resting since I'm always overworked... but seeing Hades in my notification right now...

hserrano:
Thanks for following me back, Kore.

hserrano:
Seen?

I changed my password first. I wouldn't want Gior, my PR, to see our conversation. Why am I entertaining him? I wish I can play dumb and say that it's just boredom but I knew better. I was curious about Hades.

I don't know if it's just him alone or the way he psychoanalyzed me and concluded that I was lonely.

kaiapersephone:
Don't get too excited. It's just fan service.

"Bye po, Ms. Kaia," someone bid, making me look away from my phone.

Nakita ko ang nakakumpol na staff na masayang kumaway sa akin. I smiled brightly at them and waved. "Thank you. Ingat kayo."

Nagpatuloy ako sa paglakad. Nakasunod lang sa akin si Emma habang dala niya ang bag ko. My phone lit up for a new message. Wala akong sound para sa mga social notifications. It gets too loud and it easily drains my battery dahil maya't maya ay meron.

Habang naghihintay para sa elevator ay binuksan ko ang phone para i-check.

hserrano:
Are there other special services that I can avail?

I snorted. This lewd asshole.

kaiapersephone:
Have you ever been blocked by a celebrity before?

hserrano:
Noooo Kore

I was just kidding ;(

Imbis na mairita ay nakuha ko pang mapangiti sa kalokohan nito. Dumating ang elevator kaya itinago ko na ang phone sa bulsa.

I don't even know what I'm doing with him. At first, I entertained him because his name caught my attention then his comment that got me bothered but now... I just find myself looking forward to hearing the next stupid thing that will come out of his mouth.

He just seems... fun. I'm allowed to have fun, right? This is harmless. As long as no one will find out.

hserrano:
What's my wife doing right now?

I made a face as I entered the vehicle. I'm off to my last schedule for today which is a one and a half hour dance workshop.

kaiapersephone:
Don't call me that.

"Gusto mo mong mag-drive thru, Kaia?" tanong ni Emma sa akin.

I dropped my phone on my lap and gasped. "Ohh. I want some Hibiscus Lemonade."

Tumango siya at tumingin sa harapan. "Starbucks tayo, Kuya."

I brought my attention back to my phone again.

hserrano:
Why? Ano gusto mo? Baby?

hserrano:
Ako kasi mas gusto ko ikaw.

Damn pickup line.

kaiapersephone:
What happened to being friends?

hserrano:
So you want to be friends with me now? ;)

He's impossible.

hserrano:
What are you doing, friend? :)

I was snapped out of my own stupidity when my other phone rang. I saw Gior's name plastered on the screen. It wasn't just a call. It was like a wakeup call that I needed.
