Matt: Ge?

Ge: (looked at Matt) Matt? Bro! Kamusta? 

Rachel: You guys know each other?

Ge: Yeah, We're friends. 

Rachel: Then good. Sit down. Gerald si Xian, Xian si Gerald

Xian: (extended his hand) Nice meeting you bro

Ge: Same here (shoke his hand)

Matt: Kailan ka pa dumating?

Ge: Nung isang buwan pa. 

Matt: bakit di ka man lang nagparamdam.

Ge: busy eh. Ang dami ko ng inaasikaso.

Matt: Kamusta? Tagal mong nawala ah. 

Ge: I'm good. Ikaw? Si Mel Kamusta?

Mel arrived at their table. Gerald was opposite of their seats so they can't see his face.

Matt: (saw Mel) Tanungin mo sya.

Ge: Ha? (confused)

Mel: Sorry if nagatagal ako ha? May tinawagan lang si (Shocked when she saw Gerald)

Ge: Hi Mel! (kissed her in the cheeks) 

Mel: Oh My Gosh! Ge? 

Ge: (laughed) Yeap. Kamusta?? Long time no see

Mel: Okay lang. Wow! Ang laki ng pinagbago mo ah! Ang gwapo gwapo mo lalo.

Ge: (laughed) Ikaw talaga. 

Mel: Kamusta ka na? Ang tagal mong nawala.

Ge: Okay lang. (smiled) So, shall we order?

Rachel: Wait lang, wala pa girlfriend ni Xian.

Matt and Mel exchanged looks. Then Kim arrived exactly when Gerald was about to get up and go to the restroom. so they bumoed each other..

Ge: I'm sorry Miss. I did... (was shocked)

Kim: Its fi.. (then looked up to ge's eyes and was speechless)

There moment was cut short when Xian went by kim's side..

Xian: Baby you okay?

Kim: (let go of Gerald) Ha?

Xian: Are you okay?

Kim: Y..yes. I'm okay.

Ge: I'm sorry Kim. (smiled)

Kim: Okay lang. (forced a smile then sat down)

Rachel: Tatayo lang ba kayo dyan? Let's eat.

Ge: (sat down again) Ikaw talaga! You're so bossy!

Rachel: Just order okay?

Ge: (laughed) Yes boss!

Xian: Ano gusto mo baby?

Kim: (was looking at Ge and didn't hear Xian)....

Xian: Baby!

Mel, Matt, Rachel and Ge looked at Kim and Xian. Kim was startled when Xian louden his voice

Kim: Ano yung?

Xian: Sabe ko anong gusto mo kainin? Ano ba nangyayari sayo?

Rachel: Are you okay Kim? Masyado ba malakas pagkakabangga mo sa dibdib ni Gerald?

Ge: Ako na naman? (gigled) Kim, do you need a doctor to look at you?

Kim: No, I'm fine. I'm sorry, nahilo lang ako konti. 

Ge: (smiled) Okay. Excse me Waiter!

The Waitress went to their table and immediately noticed Gerald and flirted with him

Waitress: Hi sir! May I take your order? (biting her lips)

Ge: I'll have 2 Steak, medium rare. How about you guys? Satin dalawa na yun Bru ah.?

Rachel: I know kaya nga di na ko naorder.

Xian: I'll have grilled chicken with Lemon sauce. Ikaw baby?

Kim: Ganun na rin.

Matt: Steak din kami ni Mel, Well-done.

W: (looking at Ge) Is that all sir?

Ge: (smiled sweetly) Yes. Maybe I'll order take out later (Winked at her)

W: Sure. Anything you like. I'll just come back when you're order is ready. (walked away swaying her hips even more)

Rachel: (Slapped Ge's head) Ikaw!

Ge: Ouch! Ang sakit nun ah! Bakit ba?

Rachel: You are such a flirt!! 

Ge: So? I don't have a girlfriend so I can do whatever I want.

Matt: Wala kang girlfriend?

Rachel: Him? Wala! He's just fooling around, dating girls and never gets serious about any of them. 

Ge: Hey! I'm not fooling around. What I do is try.

Mel: Try ng ano?

Ge: I'm trying to look for a girl who is right for me kaya ako nagdadate. pag di sila yun I stop dating them.

Rachel: Kailan ka kaya magiging seryoso?

Ge: When I found the one for me. Malay mo ikaw yun bru.

Rachel: Eeww!! 

Xian: (gigled) How come you guys stopped talking with each other?

Ge: I needed time to heal.

Kim looked at Gerald

Xian: Heal? Why? Broken-hearted?

Then Gerald looked at Kim. They were now stairng at each other. 

Ge: Yeah, you can say that. (then looked away)

Rachel: Kim? okay ka lang. You seem quiet

Kim: (forced a smile) Yes, I'm just hungry.

Rachel: Sorry ah? Si Pats kasi ang bagal kumilos. 

During the entire lunch, they were just exchanging stories. Kim was very quiet and was just listening to them. She was just observing Gerald, thinking that over the years he changed. A different Gerald was now infront of her. Matt and Mel knew exactly why Kim was feeling a bit uneasy while Xian and Rachel didn't have any clue about the two of them, all they know is that they were friends before. 

After lunch.....

Ge: Excuse me Ms.

Waitress: Yes Sir? (smiling seductively)

Ge: Yung bill naman please. (smiled)

Came back holding their Bill

W: Here sir.

Xian: So How much?

Ge: No I got it. Ito na Ms. beautiful. Keep the change (Winked at her again)

W; Thank you po (slipped her number at Ge's Hands)

Kim was feeling a little awkward when she saw Ge flirting

Kim: Ahm, Mel, Matt balik na tayo sa office? 

Mel: Oo nga pala. Let's go?

Rachel: Xian, sama na ko sayo. On the way naman ako sa office mo.

Xian: Okay, pero wait, Hahatid ko muna sina Mel.

Rachel: Si Gerald na lang maghatid sa kanila. Pats hatid mo sina Matt ha?

Ge: Sure, no problem. 

Kim: aah, hindi na magtataxi na lang kami nina Matt.

Xian: Baby, hayaan mo na.

Kim: Nkakahiya naman kay Ge eh.

Ge: I don't mind. Dun din naman ang punta ko.

Xian: Yun naman pala eh. Una na kame ni Rachel ah? Bye Mel,, Matt, Gerald (faced Kim) Bye baby. (kissed her in the lips) Ingat.

Gerald was looking at them and turned when he saw Xian kissing Kim. This did'nt get unnoticed by Matt.

Matt: Let's go bro? 

Ge: Yeah! Tara! (smiled)

Kim: Ingat din baby.

Xian and Rachel went ahead while the four of them went back to the office. Matt was sitting infront, Mel and Kim at the back. The whole ride was full of stories except for Kim. Kim was just staring at Ge, trying to figure out what changed about him. She was just observing him. Gerald knew that Kim was looking at him intently but he pretended that he was not affected by her, he tried his best to act that he was not affected by her presence but the truth is he was.
