BLACK OUT

I was really tired from my work that day, but I love what I am doing, I love my shop. There was no traffic which was great. What a beautiful life. I landed at my condo safe. While the elevator was about to close I heard somebody was rushing in. I pressed the open button. Some of the passengers were a little pissed.

"Thanks!" and she was perspiring and looking for her keys at her humongous bag. 

"Hi, Kamusta na? Ira" 

"Oh my god, Berts! Hi! You live here din pala. Which floor are you at?" 

"14, how long have you been here?" 

"Wow, wow, 14 din ako! Last week pa. Kamusta kamusta?" 

"Well I have my dream job now, haha, I have a coffee shop please do visit me pag may time ka, let's have coffee, or I can make you coffee now? since neighbors naman pala tayo." 

"Yes i'd love to, I just had a bad day." "Sige kwento mo yan" 

I pointed my door 1401, only to find out that she lives at 1402. I opened the door and I saw the tv was on and someone was cooking popcorn, I can smell the butter upon entrance. 

"Bro, movie tayo ah, may ikekwento ako! May crush ako, katapat lang ng entrance door mo!" Ira heard what my best buddy said, she just smiled, and pretended not to hear anything, 

"Bro, pop... corn.." She was startled to see the girl she's eyeing.

"Ah, Bro, meet Ira, she was my high school friend way back in Riyadh, she lives next door, iwan ko muna kayo I'll make coffee."

"Berts, wag na coffee, mukhang masarap popcorn eh!" "Cool I'll just get beer in cans or coke?" 

"Beer!" said Nards and Ira. They looked at each other and laughed as if they already new each others last names. 

While I was getting drinks and preparing chips, I peeked at them and they were having an adult conversation. I was really proud of my buddy. She's entertaining my visitor, my high school friend. 

She wasn't "SHOPE" or "Torpe" that night. I guess napasubo na siya ng husto.  

I gave my lazy seat for Ira for the night. I mean Nards like Ira. I only see Ira as a friend. I gave the chips to Ira and gave a can of beer for both of them. "Cheers!" And we were watching a horror film. Ira and I were squealing like hell. Nards took the opportunity to be near her. 

We had 4 cans of beer each, I was half asleep, but one thing I know about my self I can hear when I am asleep. I can hear then talking, and trying to get a photo of me, I couldn't move, I was tired and lying on the couch. I hear smirks. Then I heard them kissing. Or I was only dreaming. 

Black out.
