Kim: Hello Ge? Mauna ka na lang sa party kasi I’m still two hours away. Promise I’ll head over as soon as I get home.

Gerald: Huh? Bakit ang layo mo naman?

Kim: Mom bought me a new car kasi but I had to pick it up pa at her friend’s house. Ang layo nga! I’m driving home now so I’ll be there in a couple of hours.

Gerald: You’re behind the wheels? Heaven help us!

Kim: Ge naman!

Gerald: Seriously, be careful on the road ha. You should have taken me with you, baka ano pang mangyari sayo.

Kim: You don’t trust me, ganun? I can take care of myself no!

Gerald: That’s not what I meant. Worried lang ako na you’re driving by yourself and at such a long distance.

Kim: When did I say that I’m by myself? Nandito naman si Enchong eh.

Gerald: What?! You didn’t even ask me to come with you tapos si Enchong pang sinama mo? Four hours kayong magkasama on the road! Four hours na pwede syang mag take-advantage sayo while you are driving?!! Teka…when you said you’re driving, you mean the car and not Enchong right?

Kim: Whoah! Calm down, high blood kaagad eh. I was kidding! Si Papa Al ang kasama ko, promise.

Papa Al: Kimmy, magkakasakit sa consumisyon yang sweetheart mo sa mga antics mo. Ewan ko nga ba anong nakain nang batang yan at sa dinadami ng chicks dyan sa loka loka ko pang niece na in-love! Kawawang bata. He. He. He.

Kim laughed as well.

Gerald: Sige lang Kimmy, I’ll get you back for that.

Kim: Sos Ge, you’re sooo behind na hindi ka na makabawi no. Grabe ka naman kasi mag-react. Oi, late ka na sa party!

Gerald: Sige na nga. I’ll see you at the party na lang. Drive safe ok?

Kim: I will. Be good! Don’t do anything I would do!

*********************************************************

Gerald: Hey dude! Happy birthday! By the way here’s your gift galing sa amin ni Kim.

Kyle: Thanks man! Oh, where’s your better half?

Gerald: You mean my worse half? He.he. Late daw sya, she’s driving on her way here pero layo kasi ng pinuntahan.

Kyle: She better get here. Come on bro kain ka muna.

Everyone was having a great time at the party. Half of the visitors were singing their hearts out at the karaoke machine while others were on the dance floor. When Gerald mingled on the dance floor, the girls couldn’t stop flirting with him. Mel walked by and made sure that Gerald noticed her piercing stares.

Joaqui: Uh-oh! If looks could kill man! Lagot!

Gerald: What? I didn’t do anything bad. Classmates natin sila, wala namang malisya if I dance with them.

Joaqui: Oo, pero ex-dates like Yvonne and Rissa? Ewan ko sayo bro. Just a little hint, SELOSA ang GIRL mo!
(Joaqui started singing and acting like a y diva) “You must not know about me,
I could have another you in a minute, Matter of fact Enchong will be here in a minute baby...”

Gerald: Let’s go na nga lang, karaoke na lang tayo!

Joaqui: He. He. (whispered) Takot pala ka’y missis!
