Ricky put his overflowing cup of gravy on the table and sat down. He noticed that the girl was finished eating and was now dusting off some crumbs off her blue bank uniform.
She flashed him a smile as she said, “Thanks ulit ha.”
“No prob! Um, I don’t usually do this but, can I get your number? You know, para in case may extra seat ako makita, I can let you know.” I said, smiling back at her. “What’s your name anyway?”
“It’s Carol. Um, okay. Just give me your number so I can “missed call” you.” she replied.
“Okay, it’s 0917-_______. It’s Ricky, by the way.”
As she punched his digits on her phone, she gave a short laugh. “Man, those dimples are cute!” he thought. Ricky’s phone rang and he rejected. He had just finished typing Carol’s contact details when he noticed her stand up.
“I have to go. Bilis lang lunch break ko. Thanks again, Ricky.” she said hurriedly. Carol got her things and sped off.
Ricky sat there and sighed. She didn’t look like the type who’d “party” with him. So much for his bad boy persona. He sighed and continued to eat his meal. After eating, he looked at his watch and decided to take a walk around the mall. He stopped by an antique shop and rummaged through some old comics. As he pulled out an old issue of Uncanny X-Men, Ricky felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Carol smiling, standing in front of him.
“Um, I don’t usually do this pero…. you want to go some place?” she said shyly.
Boing.
“Sure! But don’t you have work pa?” he said as his heart raced furiously.
“Told them I was sick and I had to go home. Tara na before I change my mind. I mean, I haven’t done this before!”
Ricky looked around and asked, “Okay, how about somewhere in Pasig?”
Carol nodded.
“Wow, that escalated quickly.” Ricky thought. He could only scratch his head in disbelief. While his horniness level was at an all-time high, he couldn’t believe what was happening. “Wait, Carol, no offense but how do I know you won’t rob me or kill me or that you don’t have a boyfriend who will rob me or kill me?”
“I’m just giving you what you want, AerotickyRicky69. Let’s see if you can walk the walk.” she answered with a sly smile.
What. The. Fuck?
Cue in Metallica.
