“Don’t play smart with me. If you want to trick me, let me tell you that it’s only 5:28PM. We are still on my term, I’m ending it now, and I won’t attend your meeting,” Zofi said.Passersby and a few customers of the café get curious about the little commotion.“Zofi, please. I’m sorry,” Jiro said.“It’s really a wrong decision to give you a chance to speak. Oh, it’s a stupid decision rather,” she said before finally walking away.“Listen, I admit to follow you, to stalk you. It’s all because I don’t know how else to talk to you and explain my side,” he said.“Thanks for admitting that you are a stalker. Bye!” Zofi said.Jiro knew he made the wrong move and lost his chance.“That didn’t go well, Sir,” Riri said.“Yeah, Riri. It didn’t,” he said.“But at least she talked to you longer today,” she said.Jiro gave a bittersweet smile. “I can’t settle for that every time,” he said.“She has a boyfriend,” she said.“Just a boyfriend and he's away. I was married before and I’m sing

“What if we go back to the Philippines?” Zofi asked.“Are you serious? That’s such a random idea,” Billie said.“Is it? It's our country and they’re allowing tourists there now,” she asked.“Is that for good or just to have vacation?” he asked.“Vacation for now then we’ll decide later if we want to come back for good,” she said.“Either way, I’m okay if you want to go,” he said.“If I want to go? Just me?” she asked.“I still have things to do here,” he said.“What things? Your business plans? Don’t you think it would be best to make another plan or at least rest your plan for now?” she asked.“Are you doubting my plans?” he asked.“No. Never. I just want you to consider a plan B or another plan now that things are not yet 100% back to normal. Some even have shifted to new ways for good,” she said.“I planned for this and I want to give it a try. Let me try to do it first,” he said.“Up to you. I’ll take a two-week vacation. I hope you could come or at least follow me there,

It’s a beautiful morning in the countryside. The birds are singing as the wind blows gently.“Zofi, are you awake?” Auntie Rose asked as she knocks on the guestroom’s door.Zofi opened the door with a big smile on her face.“Good morning, Auntie,” she greeted her.“Did you sleep well?” Auntie Rose asked.“I did. I almost overslept. I thought I was in my room,” Zofi said.“Breakfast is served. Come down when you are ready,” Auntie Rose said.“I’m done, Auntie. Let’s go,” Zofi said.“You may call me ‘Mommy Rose’,” Auntie Rose said.Zofi was surprised. She didn’t expect Billie’s mother to initiate that.“Many here call me by that. Even Saatchi calls me that,” Auntie Rose said.Zofi was taken aback hearing Saatchi’s name.“If you don’t mind, I’d stick to the usual way I address you for now,” Zofi asked.“Why? Is it because it's too early and you don’t want to jinx it?” Auntie Rose asked.“Not really but my mother might get jealous,” Zofi said. She used her own mother as her alibi.

It’s Sunday night and everyone is rushing to go back home to prepare for Monday. Zofi can’t come inside of her building yet. She prefers to stand outside trying to accept the reality that her vacation was cut short.“Zofi?” Natalie called her.Zofi knew it was Natalie and she couldn’t wait to tell her everything. She turned around only to realize that she's not only with Ryan but also with Jiro.“Go now. I’ll be the one to help her,” Natalie told the two men.Zofi rushed to enter the building.“I’ll help you,” Natalie said.“I’m fine, Natalie. Go with Ryan and that guy,” Zofi said.“We’re done with our date today. He just took me home,” Natalie said.They ride the elevator together.“Let me explain, please,” Natalie said.“There’s no need to explain, Natalie. You don’t need to pick your friends based on my preference. You don’t need to adjust for me,” Zofi said.“Why are you back so soon? I thought you’d return next week,” Natalie asked.They entered their unit. Zofi immediat
Spare Dates Chapter 61: Dried Mango Date
It’s a mixed of sadness, regret, guilt, pride that cannot be contained in one tiny and fragile heart. The chance to fix things and make them okay once again awaits but there’s also the question of how long will the cure last.“Why haven’t you told me that he arrived yesterday after I left?” Zofi asked her mother.“We didn’t want to meddle. He should be the one to tell you that. After all, he said that he meant to surprise you,” her mother said.“He’s here. I think he wants me to fly back with him there,” Zofi said.“You two are wasting money. Stop being childish. You’re romanticizing things a lot,” her mother said.“Did he talk to you yesterday?” Zofi asked.“Not much. His mother wanted them to go home already and we too,” her mother said.There seems to be no one else to help them solve the problem but themselves.It’s past lunch time and not a single message from Billie. Zofi reflects on what she told him yesterday.“Let’s just end things here,” she said.“What? That wasn’t a

The place is full of people wanting to find love. Everyone adds to the happy vibes except for Billy who sits in a corner watching them go through the matchmaking process.“Thank you everyone from joining and best of luck to those who found a date tonight! But the night is not yet over. Let’s have some fun and drinks until midnight!” the host announced the end of the event.“How was it?” Crinkles asked Billie on the phone.“It was fun,” Billie answered.“You don’t sound like you had fun,” she said.“It was fun watching, I should say,” he said.“I knew it. I knew you wouldn’t even try,” she said.“It’s not my thing,” he said.“Or you haven’t moved on yet,” she said.“C’mon, Crinks. It’s just a couple of months versus years that I need to move on from,” he said.“I know but you’ve to start helping yourself little by little,” she said.Billie smirked. “Yeah. Coming from you,” he said sarcastically.“Listen, I’m not really good at this but I know the help that you need starts within

Violet kissed a half-awake and drunk Billie. She leaned closer to see his face one last time.“Thanks, Billie,” she said.Billie woke to the sound of his phone. He searched for it in his wallet with his eyes still half-closed. “Billie, where are you? We’ve been calling you the whole night,” Uncle Bruce asked on the other line.“Where I am? I’m here…..,” he couldn’t tell where he is.He looked up at the ceiling and realized it wasn’t his room’s ceiling. He found himself on a couch with his shirt unbuttoned.“I’m in a friend’s house. I drank too much yesterday and I spent the night in here. I’m going home now,” Billie said.“You’ve to control your drinking. Our plans might get ruined by it,” Uncle Bruce said.“Don’t worry about it. This was the last, I promise. Sorry, Uncle,” Billie said.He immediately dialed the reception area’s number.“Good morning, Mr. Billie. You woke up early,” the lobby staff greeted him.“What?” he asked. “Ms. Violet left an instruction to wake you u

Billie waits a little anxiously in the living room of a modest home. The moment brings him back to his very first date in high school where Zofi arranged him and Cindy together to prove to all the mean girls in school that anyone deserved to attend the prom.“I’m impressed, Billie. You are impressive,” Auntie Tessa said while looking so delighted at the flowers he gave her.“Thank you, Auntie, but what did I do that impressed you?” he asked.“This and you coming here to pick up my niece and go on a proper date. I never imagined these things could still be possible these days. Most of the guys who wanted to date her would simply ask her to meet them somewhere,” she said.“I'm an old school kind of guy,” he said.“And I appreciate old school. You already have my approval,” she said.“Auntie, we are still getting to know each other. Don’t scare him,” Lena said. She silently walked in to the living room.“Good afternoon, Lena. You look beautiful,” he said.Auntie Tessa couldn’t hi
