Chie:
Oh hey!
Sorry, I haven't talked to him in a while
Why? Did something happen?

Jesse:
We can't get a hold of him since Monday. I stopped by at their hotel but he wasn't there. We're getting worried is all.

Chie:
I'll ask around

Jesse:
Thanks, I appreciate it.

Chie:
No prob

Jesse:
Do you mind letting me know once you get in touch with him? Our friend Oliver is pretty close to hiring someone to track him down.
I wish I was kidding. Lol

Chie:
Ok I will. 😂

Chie:
You're back in town, aren't you?

Audrey:
ARE YOU PSYCHIC?

Chie:
HAHAHAHAHA
Knew it
My cousin only goes off the grid whenever he's with you and since no one can reach him for the past few days, that only means his girlfriend's back

Audrey:
Busted. Haha
We're in Siargao.
Who's looking for him?

No wonder. Lol

Chie:
I don't know when they'll be back, tho

Jesse:
It's cool. Thanks for letting me know.

Chie:
Anytime 🙂

Chie:
Jesse texted me so I'm guessing their whole group

Audrey:
Jesse knows your number, huh? 😏

Chie:
Stop 🙄

Audrey:
What? Haha
Don't tell me you're no longer pining over the guy?

Chie:
Auds, it's been years
Give me some credit

Audrey:
OMG, WHO'S THE GUY WHO MADE YOU GET OVER YOUR MAJOR CRUSH ON JESSE ORTEGA?

Chie:
No one

Audrey:
WHOMST?

Chie:
Doesn't matter

Audrey:
TELL ME

Chie:
Can I ask you something first?

Audrey:
Sure.
But you're telling me after!

Chie:
Deal

Audrey:
Ask away!

Chie:
How'd you get Paolo to change?

Audrey:
What do you mean?
He's always been Paolo.

Chie:
Yeah, but he wasn't always so... loyal?
Paolo was notorious for his hookups
Even now when girls at campus find out I'm related to him, they give me funny looks like they wanna strangle me but get to know me at the same time

Audrey:
Ah. Haha
I didn't do anything, though.
You know our story. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Chie:
Tell me again please

Audrey:
I was his friend's ex so I was 'off limits' when I first met him five years ago. We only started hanging out when he spent the summer in Boston back in 2017. He got in touch with me because I lived there and he asked if I could show him around. We became good friends and got to really know one another. The next thing I know, our random meet ups became a habit and he stopped seeing other girls. It just happened. We just know.

Chie:
Just like that?
You guys just know?

Audrey:
Yeah. Haha
Weird how things work out.

Chie:
Good for him not to let the bro code ruin things for the both of you. Still can't imagine how Oliver must've taken it. The guy's too aloof 😬

Audrey:
Being away from everyone gets you in a different kind of perspective. I guess that's what happened to us. Without the others telling us what to think, we were able to listen to our own minds. And hearts. Suddenly, nothing else mattered other than what we wanted and what felt right.

Audrey:
Any more questions?

Chie:
No, you've told me what I needed to know

Audrey:
I would ask what that was about but priorities!
WHO IS THIS PERSON THAT STOLE YOUR HEART?

Chie:
He didn't steal my heart

Audrey:
Oh?

Chie:
He made it fall for him

Audrey:
Did he catch it?

Chie:
Nope, and it's still falling

Audrey:
Aw, Chie. ☹️

Chie:
Not everyone gets their happy ending

Audrey:
I don't believe that.

Chie:
You believe unicorns fart rainbows

Audrey:
True. Haha
Real talk, though.
You'll get your happy ending.
It might not be with him.
But you'll get it someday.
Just gotta be patient.

Chie:
Ever the optimist haha

Audrey:
But admit it.

Chie:
Admit what?

Audrey:
You still got slightly kilig when Jesse texted you, right?

Chie:
Duh 😂
It's Jesse

Audrey:
HAHAHAHAHA
True that.
