After about thirty minutes, nakarating kami sa isang... Rooftop Bar. Pero hindi ito ordinaryong bar. Exclusive ito, intimate, at may perfect view ng city skyline. Fairy lights everywhere, cozy seating, at may live jazz music. "Drake... this is—" "Not low-key. I know. But I wanted to take you somewhere special. Somewhere that matches how I feel about you." "And how do you feel about me?" tanong ko, kuryos. "Like you deserve the world," sabi niya simply. "And I want to give it to you." My heart. Putangina. Pinapatay niya ako sa mga linyang 'to. "You're too much," sabi ko. "Not enough. Never enough for you." Pumasok kami sa loob. Binati siya ng host gamit ang pangalan niya. "Mr. Valencia, your usual table?" Ibig sabihin, madalas siya rito. Dinala kami sa isang corner table. Private. Intimate. Kitang-kita ang buong siyudad. "You come here often?" tanong ko nang makaupo kami. "Sometimes. When I need to think. Or celebrate. Or impress beautiful architects." "How man

SA GABING IYON, tumawag si Mika."OKAY, spill," sabi ni Mika agad. "What happened? You've been smiling at your phone for the past hour.""I have not," deny ko."Liar. I can hear it in your voice. You're smiling right now. What did he do?"Kinuwento ko sa kaniya ang nangyari sa conference room. Ang pang-aasar, ang landian, at yung linyang "I dream about you every night.""OH MY GOD! He said that?! At work?!""Technically pagkatapos ng meeting," sabi ko. "Nung nakaalis na ang lahat.""Still! That's—that's so hot!" sigaw niya."It's unprofessional," sabi ko."It's romantic! He's flirting with you. Publicly claiming you. Making his intentions clear. 'Yun naman ang gusto mo, 'di ba? Clarity?""I guess," sabi ko."No guessing. Do you like him or not?""I like him," pag-amin ko. Finally, nasabi ko na rin nang malakas."See? Was that so hard?""Yes," sabi ko nang tapat."Why?" lumambot ang boses niya."Because once I admit it, it becomes real. And if it's real, it can hurt me

Tumingin ako sa kaniya nang diretso. Challenge accepted. "I'm looking at you now." "You are," sabi niya, bumaba ang tingin niya sa labi ko. "And I'm looking at you. And I'm thinking about kissing you again." "We're at work," remind ko. "I'm aware," sabi niya. "People could walk in," sabi ko. "They could," sabi niya. "This is unprofessional," sabi ko. "Extremely," agree niya. "So stop looking at me like that," sabi ko. "Like what?" tanong niya, inosente. "Like you're planning something," sabi ko. "I am planning something," admit niya. "What?" tanong ko, suspicious. "Our next date," sabi niya simply. "I'm thinking Wednesday. Are you free?" "I have to check my schedule," sabi ko. "Check now," sabi niya. "Drake—" "Humor me," sabi niya. "Pull out your phone. Check your calendar. Tell me if you're free Wednesday night." Nag-sigh ako at kinuha ang phone ko. Wednesday. Walang entry. "I'm free," admit ko reluctantly. "Perfect," sabi niya

PAGKATAPOS ng meeting, isa-isang lumabas ang lahat sa conference room. Tinapik ako ni Mr. Lopez sa balikat, bakas ang tuwa sa naging presentation ko. Ang mga engineers naman ay busy sa pag-uusap tungkol sa technical details, habang ang mga contractors ay nagpaplano na ng kanilang schedules. At ako? I was trying to pack up my laptop as quickly as possible without looking like I was rushing. Kasi kailangan ko nang makalabas sa kwartong ito bago pa— "Ms. Flores," tawag ni Drake. "A moment?" Too late. Tumigil ako at dahan-dahang humarap sa kaniya. Isinuot ko ang aking pinaka-professional na ngiti. "Yes, Mr. Valencia?" Nauna na ang iba. Kaming dalawa na lang ang naiwan sa conference room. Nakabukas naman ang pinto, kaya technically, public space pa rin kami. Safe. O ganoon ang akala ko. Lumapit siya. Slowly. Deliberately. Yung lakad niya na parang may slow-mo effect sa background. Napaka-unfair. "About those sustainability features," sabi niya, casual lang ang tono. Professio

Eksaktong 6:30 PM, tumunog ang doorbell. I opened the door and... fuck. He looked so good. Naka-black button-up shirt siya, sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Dark jeans and clean sneakers. Yung effortless look na halatang pinag-isipan pero hindi mukhang pilit. "Hi," he said, smiling. Yung smile na ramdam mong masaya siyang makita ako. "Hi," I replied. "You look beautiful," sabi niya. "You said that this morning." "It's still true. Actually, it's more true now that I'm seeing you in person." "Smooth," sabi ko, pero ramdam ko ang init sa mukha ko. Sumakay kami sa sasakyan niya. Casual lang ang vibe. After twenty minutes, nakarating kami sa isang—Food Park. "A food park?" I asked, surprised. Hipster-style ang lugar, may string lights, wooden tables, at live acoustic music. "You said no chandeliers," sabi niya habang pinaparada ang kotse. "Can't get more low-key than this." "I love it," I said honestly. "This is perfect." Nag-order kami ng Korean fried

SUNDAY morning came with the kind of anxiety that made me want to crawl back under my blanket and hide from the world. Kasi shit. Ano ba itong pinasok ko? I said yes to Drake. I kissed Drake. I agreed to see him again today. Today. As in, in a few hours! I grabbed my phone from the bedside table. 9:47 AM. May message na siya, sent as early as 7:30 AM. Drake: Good morning, beautiful. I hope you slept well. I couldn't stop thinking about last night. About you. Dinner later at 7pm? I'll pick you up at 6:30. Wear something comfortable. :) Beautiful. Tinawag niya akong beautiful. At may smiley face pa! Nakakainis kasi effective. Nakakainis kasi para akong timang na nakangiti habang nakatitig sa screen ng phone ko. I replied. Me: Morning. 7pm works. Where are we going? Drake: Surprise. But I promise, low-key lang. Nothing fancy. Just good food and good company. Me: If you take me somewhere na may chandelier, I'm leaving. Drake: Noted. No chandeliers. Scout's hono
