I sighed and focused on the post, " I don't know." My only answer.

Annie didn't ask again and let me go. This is probably the longest time of my shift. I glanced at our wall clock a few times and it was as if four hours had passed slowly.

" Hey," I blinked when the male customer spoke that I didn't seem to care about.

" O- oh, sorry sir .. welcome to cafétearia, may I take your order now?" I struggled to return my voice to softness.

The man smiled and nodded, " One irish coffee and one flat white." he says. I input that while repeating to him, " How about dessert, sir?" I still ask.

" W hat would be great?"

" You should try our blueberry muffins, sir." I smiled and he nodded quickly. " Sure, I'd get that." He said so I included that.

When my shift was over I reluctantly got dressed and left the shop. I committed using a tricycle and went down to the convenience store that I always go every time I go home because it's only open at this time.

I took a souper meal and two beers in a can, no recitation was announced tomorrow but I wanted to keep my mind occupied so I would just read all night. And, as if they always say if there is a recitation. Surprise professors e.

In law school, it seems like every day is quiz day. You must always be ready, have a deep background or a little knowledge about topics and cases, often even if I'm not ready I still attend because attendance is a must. Many times I have also been tempted to just give up but every time I think of papa, it motivates me.

When I paid the cashier, my eyes widened at the row of condoms so  I remembered the first time we met. He seems really in a rush back then. I wonder  if his girl was inside of his car that night waiting for him to be back, and then they would go to the nearest hotel or so. Maybe they even did it inside his car, judging from his expression that night, maybe he couldn't even drive properly because of his boner—

" Ma'am?" I stopped in my tracks and turned to the female cashier. I noticed she wasn’ t the cashier the night I saw Loren here.

She also even looked at the condoms I was looking at earlier so I was immediately embarrassed. Shit, maybe that’ s what she thinks I’ m thinking.

" 96 pesos, please." She repeated so my lips parted and I nodded quickly. I paid and carried the plastic out when the female cashier spoke again.

" The trust has a promo! It's cheap, ma'am!" She shouted so I almost closed my eyes in shame and ran out. Fuck.

It's Friday and I don't have a job tonight, Yana decided to go to a bar since there's no school tomorrow. I was still hesitant to come so I said I would just text him later when I had decided.

My class was later than 1pm so I decided to clean the apartment first. I also rearranged the wooden living room chairs. It became clearer to look at the living room because of my adjustment. I just cleaned the room and didn't change the seats.

I washed the plates and swept the whole house before I sat down in the wooden chair to rest. I just finished throwing away the beer cans that had accumulated in my little kitchen.

I didn't know the time and it would be twelve o'clock so I took a shower and got dressed, while drying my hair I just cooked paksiw because you cook fast. I ate and put away what I had used before leaving the house.

" Pardon?" I asked atty Felasco.

" You heard me right, according to LSA MALF hires you as a Paralegal by one of their partners. Only a few were hired in other schools, mostly from UP they recruited and you're one of the qualified students to work with them. " He explained so I couldn't stop smiling.

Manila and Associates Law Firm is one of the real deal when it comes to professional law corporations here in the Philippines. I really am honored to be chosen as their Paralegal, no matter whose lawyer I go there is okay.

" But you know I can't work now, attorney. I'm only available on summer." I said because that's where my contract with the cafétearia will end and of course because Yana is out of school I don't have to tutor her anymore.

" Yes, of course. That's also what they said. That Paralegals are bound to work during summer to help them with their finance and experiences. I must say this is a good opportunity for you to build your connections. You're gonna need it in the future. Trust me. " The attorney said so I quickly nodded and thanked. He's really smart.

After that meeting, I went straight home and rested. Yana texted me that we would just study in her condo because her class had already finished and she was too  lazy to go out.

Even though I had a chance to see Loren there, I agreed. I'm not sure I'll see him there, he's definitely studying at some coffee shop since he said that he studies on day and action at night. Damn why do I even remember that? Am I that attentive to him? Just fucking why.

When I arrived at their building, I walked straight to the elevator because the security already knew me. I went inside and was about to hit the floor when suddenly someone chased after me.

I was surprised to see Ella wearing a red mini dress with a spaghetti strap. She was holding a black purse and her long hair was curly. He was also surprised to see me and immediately smiled.

" Oh, I remember you!" She harvested enthusiastically when she got inside.

I also hesitated to smile because of the shock, it's serious, I think he's triple dressed now because of his posture. She no longer looks like a student but a model. I was embarrassed that we were standing next to each other in the same elevator. It's like we're coffee and milk side by side. Grabe.

" Hi Ella," I said, " I'm .. Celine." I remind because she obviously remembers my name.

Her face lit up and hier smile widened, " Yes, yes, hello! Do you live here?" She asked.

I slowly shook my head and pointed to the numbers. " What floor?" I asked and I would press.

" Oh, fifteen." She replied that I stopped.

Fifteen .. only two live there, unless he has just moved. Or is she here for Yana? I won't be surprised to know if they're close to each other since Yana is friendly and she's just as famous as Ella.

" Do you .. live here?" I was the one who asked.

" No, I'm just gonna visit someone." She said so I nodded softly and hit the 15th floor. " You? Who are you going to visit?" She asked further.

" Tatiana," I said sparingly so her eyes glimmered.

" Oh, Dellucca? I know her, she lives next door with Enzo." She said so I was stunned and turned to her.

Loren was the only one with her on that floor so I'm sure Loren was the Enzo she was referring to. Enzo .. short for Lorenzo. Is that his nickname? Why did he introduce Loren to me? Though, I don't know. I swallowed and just tried to smile.

When the elevator rang, I told her to get out first. " Thanks," she said and went out of the elevator. She didn't look back and just walked her way gracefully. It was like she was trained to be elegant even in just walking. How beautiful.

I also walked towards Yana's door, I watched her stop at Loren's door and I sighed as she calmly pressed the passcode of its door. She seems to have memorized  that and she has been going into it for a long time. It opened and she hurried in, when the door closed I was the only one who could breathe easily.

Are they .. dating? Or fucking? Fuck, what was I thinking? So what if they are? They're good and that's nice so Loren wouldn't bother me anymore. That's right. I sighed and opened Yana's door.
