Billie reached out for his phone. He knew it’s already morning but the alarm hasn’t gone off. And there’s the smile on his face upon realizing he’s no longer working. He doesn’t need an alarm to wake him up at least during this break between his previous job and running their business soon.“What are you doing today?” Zofi asked on the other line.“All my travel docs are complete so I’m good,” Billie said.Zofi gets quiet.“Ah, there you go again. Of course, I’m not forgetting you. I’ll be there soon,” Billie assured her.“It’s just so unbelievable that we are still not together physically now that we are in a relationship,” she said.“I’d say, timing is also a factor,” he said.“Anyway, please make it here as soon as possible,” she said.“Yes, Ma’am,” he said.“Yes, Ma’am” – did he become this kind of a boyfriend at nearly 25 years old? Surely, he loves Zofi. He’s been caring for her since they were kids but is he really that ready to take their relationship to another level?
Spare Dates Chapter 23: Curious Date
Free time. When you’re young and only looking forward to good things in life, where do you spend it to if you ever you get some?“Coffee shop?" Mrs. Gracias asked. She’s their neighbor in her early forties whose husband works in a cruise ship. She’s “single” for eight months and “married” for four months each year. Today is one of those days within her “single” period.“Good afternoon, Mrs. Gracias. I’m just chilling here,” he said.“It’s best to start calling me Geraldine. You’re not a kid anymore, Billie,” she said.Billie feels uneasy to be around her. She has a reputation of being chummy with men that most of the ladies in the neighborhood frown upon.“I will try to get used to that, Ms. Geraldine,” he said.“That’s better,” she said.“So, are you a regular here?” he asked. “I only come here to wait. I’ve dinner with some friends and the restaurant is not yet open,” she said.“Talking about dinner, I better go now. My mother cooked my favorite,” he said.Geraldine smiled

They wonder what the two are discussing on the phone.“What did your uncle say?” his father asked.“It’s good news,” he said.The usual evening conversation continues for Billie and Zofi. “Long day?” Billie asked.“As expected,” Zofi answered.“Everywhere you go, everyone’s busy,” he said.“Says the guy who’s on vacation,” she said.“That’s why I’m really making the most of this break. It won’t be this way once I officially jumped in to the family business,” he said.“Again, I hope you’re not forgetting that someone’s waiting for you here. She’s just three hours away but she’s waiting forever,” she said.“You’re becoming funnier,” he said.“I don’t think you’re being serious about coming here,” she said.“Believe me, I am,” he said seriously.“Alright. As you said,” she said.“Anyway, what’s keeping you busy this week?” he asked.“Usual demands of bosses and clients. I wis
Spare Dates Chapter 25: Real Date
Everyone’s looking at the best looking couple of the night. Perhaps, Yves draws more attention than her but Zofi doesn’t mind at all. She too is mesmerized and proud to be his date among the many other girls in the office that he could ask to accompany him for the event.“Do you know everyone in the company?” Yves asked to start the conversation.“Not yet. I joined just recently. I haven’t had a lot of opportunities to meet everyone,” Zofi said.“I just asked because truth is, even us in our department don’t know everyone who’s working there or who transferred in or out. The other day, one of our tenured colleagues was asking for someone who already left the company,” he said. Yves is a good talker.“Your department must be very busy that’s why people there don’t know much about even their closest colleagues,” she said.“Exactly. That’s why instead of bringing them to the beach or somewhere else, I decided to hold a social gathering for us. It’s also a chance to meet our collea

They remember every precious second of it and the more they think about it, the more the moment gets better.Zofi stands still but her body is shaking. That magical moment happened just a few seconds ago and she's already repeating it in her head a couple of times or even more. Seeing Billie in his black polo that accentuates the now manly feature of his face, makes her feel proud just knowing that this guy calls her his girlfriend. But she knows that it is just icing on the cake. There’s more to him than his pretty face.“Are you really here. Is that you?” she asked as if she saw an apparition only he is in black.“Come closer so you will know,” Billie said.“I can’t move from here,” she said.Billie walks to her and he gets more and more handsome the closer he comes near to her.“You’re so beautiful, Zofi. Am I the luckiest guy in the world to be your boyfriend?” he said.They embrace like they are the only

It’s one of those days when they know it’s already morning but it’s still weekend and so they stay in bed a little longer.“Zofi…,” Billie called her tenderly.She tried to answer but she only made a lazy sound. She even tightened her embrace and continues to sleep with her face at the back of his head.“It’s a big bed. We are not on a couch,” Billie said though he actually likes the way she sleeps.“What time is it?” she finally said something.“I think it’s already late in the morning,” he said.He turned around to kiss her once then twice.“That’s our….oh I lost count of our kisses,” she said.Billie could stop smiling.

Zofi looks around. Everyone’s eyes are on her. “Tantantanan…tantantanan…” her teammates hummed to the tune of a bridal march.“What’s with the bridal march? Who got married?” she asked.“Who got married?” Julia repeated what she said in a tiny voice.Everyone laughs. The all-girl squad is obviously in a good mood.“What happened when I was away yesterday?” she repeated her question.“Tell us the truth. You got married over the weekend?” Julia asked.Zofi’s eyes got big upon hearing the question. “Are you kidding? Where did you get that news?” she asked Julia.“It came from someone in human resources. They saw you and Billie last Sunday and they were told that you two were married couple,” Julia said.“I’m telling you, it’s not true. Billie’s visit happened a little earlier and we certainly missed each other but we were not that crazy to get married over the weekend. And where could we possibly go to get married during weekend?” Zofi said.“Hmmm…that made sense,” Lizzie said.“

“His full first name is Gerardo. He is his father’s junior so it makes sense if he wants to be called either Gerard or Jiro,” Jaja, the human resources manager said.“I didn't know that's his real first name. He only went by the name ‘Jiro’ when we were colleagues. Even his emails showed it as his name,” Zofi explained.“That could be possible. How long have you been colleagues?” Yves asked.“Just a couple of months. I stopped working in that company because of the rumors circulating about us,” Zofi said.“What were they saying the two of you? We have to know as well,” Jaja asked.Lizzie listens attentively to the conversation.“They were saying that I was dating him,” Zofi said.“And that wasn’t true at all?” Jaja asked.“I would go out with him for coffee. I was very nice to him because I didn't want him to be alone. I thought people in the office were ganging up on him for reasons no one would ever tell me until it went that far already," Zofi said."And how did you find out? D
