Monty Dela Cuesta

Apple:
Crush mo talaga ako 'no?

Monty:
What?

Apple:
Nag-like ka sa IG.

Monty:
?

Apple:
Joke lang. Alam ko namang hindi.
Thank you sa paghatid sa akin kagabi.
Nagulat tuloy sina Mommy.

Monty:
Were they expecting your boyfriend?

Apple:
Ex-boyfriend, Dela Cuesta.
Nagpapantig tainga ko.

Monty:
Ah, sorry.

Apple:
Pero, oo. Akala nila si Sean. Sorry pala magulo sa bahay kasi ang dami namin.

Monty:
It's alright. Are they your siblings?

Apple:
By name, yes.

Monty:
What do you mean?

Apple:
I was adopted by my parents when
I was 11 from the orphanage I grew up in.

Apple:
Don't be weirded out by that or sasapakin kita, Dela Cuesta.

Monty:
I'm not.

Monty:
Are they nice people?

Apple:
Of course. Hindi naman ako
magtatagal doon kung hindi.

Monty:
I'm glad you're with them.

Apple:
Drama mo ah, pero salamat. For not being weird about that. And secret na lang natin.

Apple:
Kung hindi yari ka sa akin. 🙃

Monty:
You really need to work on your threats.

Apple:
ABA

Monty:
Later. I'm going out.

Apple:
Saan? Nasa labas din ako. Kita tayo.

Monty:
Why?

Apple:
ANONG WHY MALAMANG PARA MAGKASAMA TAYO

Monty:
What if I have someone with me?

Apple:
Ay, sayang naman.
Sige na nga, 'wag na. 😡

Monty:
I don't have anyone with me, though.

Apple:
ANO BA TALAGA

Monty:
You like Kuromi?

Apple:
'WAG MONG INIIBA USAPAN

Monty:
Wala nga. Where are you?
I'll pick you up.

Apple:
Sure? Baka may date ka, ah. Nakakaabala pa ako. Baka may mag slut shame sa akin sa freedom wall ng uni, sasakalin kita.

Monty:
Just friends.
But we can go somewhere else if you want, I'd rather be with you than them.
