After a minute, nakareceive ako ng message na “?” lang ang laman. I texted her “Dan” and she replied “Saved.”. Since yun lang ang reply nya, pakiramdam ko ay wala sya sa mood mag text. Inilapag ko na ang phone ko sa side table saka naman ito muling tumunog. I was thinking it’s Marian. Kinabahan ako nang makita kong si Chezka ang nagtext. Nagdalawang isip ako na basahin ang message but then, what the heck?
Chezka: Hi!
Me: Hello.
Chezka: I see you ‘ve been busy.
Me: Sort of. Sorry I missed your calls.
Chezka: I know you’re not. Otherwise, you could have called back.
Me: Maybe you’re right. Guilty.
Chezka: Of what?
Me: Leaving you hanging after the weekend.
Chezka: Why?
Me: Because I’m busy with someone else instead of you.
Chezka: Tayo ba?
Me: Sinagot mo ba ako?
Chezka: Nanligaw ka ba?
Me: Nagpaligaw ka ba?
Chezka: We’re going in circles.
Me: I know.
Chezka: So?
Me: So what?
Chezka: Where are we?
Me: You tell me.
Chezka: You’re not obliged of anything.
Me: I feel like I am.
Chezka: You’re not.
Me: Then, where are we?
Chezka: Nowhere?
Me: You’re unsure.
Chezka: Yes I am.
Me: Why?
Chezka: Because I like you, a lot.
Me: Damn!
Chezka: Sorry.
Me: Don’t be. It’s not your fault.
Chezka: I know, I still am.
Me: I’m sorry as well.
Chezka: For?
Me: Disappointing you?
Chezka: You didn’t. I’ve seen it coming.
Me: Then why still go for it?
Chezka: I took my chances.
Me: Speechless . . .
Chezka: Again, you’re not obliged.
Me: I don’t know what to say.
Chezka: Kayo na?
Me: No.
Chezka: Niligawan mo sya?
Me: No.
Chezka: Then I’ll take my chances.
Me: Please don’t.
Chezka: Why?
Me: Just don’t.
Chezka: Because you like me too?
Me: Enough please.
Chezka: I’m not giving up.
Me: Please do.
Chezka: NO!
Me: Goodnight.
Chezka: Goodnight baby. See you later.
Di na ako nagreply. Baka humaba pa ang usapan. Di ko na din naman alam kung anong isasagot. This is chaos. Hitting 2 birds in 1 stone is supposed to be a good thing. But hitting 2 pussies in the same office is not. I mean, I like fucking Chezka. S…
