Marissa was trying hard to suppress the giggles erupting in her throat.
"it’s... it’s just a t-shirt, Rafael," how could she convince him, when her heart wasn’t convinced?
"I was looking for it, this evening. You get enough salary from MSin. Buy your own shirts, woman," seeing him exasperated was making it funnier.
"Uh? Sorry. They are more comfy," she shrugged and stuck out her tongue.
He looked behind her and turned a little somber, "Hey, Sophie."
Sophie was balancing pizza boxes along with bottles of nonalcoholic drinks, "Hi. How are you handsome?"
"I’m good, beautiful!" Rafael winked, sending a flying kiss in Sophie’s direction. She groaned and placed the stuff on the bed.
"Pizza?" she offered him before putting the slice on the plate.
"Nah! I already had dinner," he scratched his head, "You two enjoy!"
"Yeah, sure. By the way, I’ve got the Speed Racer installed on the TV. If you want to lose by a good margin, come over," Sophie mocked him lightly with a straight face.
"Look at you!" Marissa who was eating her pizza giggled.
"Hey, Rafael. Marissa is crazy about Mario Brothers. If you want to win play with her," Sophie said with a taunt. Rafael eyed Marissa with wide eyes.
"Really? Why did you never tell me that? I’ll install the games on the smart TV."
"Smart TV?" Marissa’s said with a full mouth, "Which one? The one you have in the hotel?"
"No, Strawberry. The office one!"
"Oh, God! You are planning to install her favorite games? In your office TV?" Sophie’s eyes went wide like saucers.
"Yeah," he said gently, "Anything for her."
When the call disconnected, Sophie had fallen back on the pillow with a dreamy look in her eyes, "Did he call you strawberry?"
She squealed like a baby, "My God Marissa. This man is a keeper. Don’t let him go!"
***
The evening had gone as planned. After watching the movie, Sophie went to the bathroom while Marissa got busy with her phone.
There was no message from Rafael.
"Already missing him?" Marissa hurriedly placed her phone aside when saw Sophie coming out of the bathroom.
This time her friend didn’t force her for any explanations and laid on the bed beside her. They were staring at the ceiling busy in their thoughts.
Sophia shifted onto her side, propping her head up with one hand as she glanced over Marissa. Her friend’s eyes were still observing the ceiling.
"You are thinking about him. Aren’t you?" her voice might be gentle, but Marissa had felt the teasing edge in it.
Her brows furrowed slightly as she turned her head to meet Sophie’s gaze, "Who are you talking about?" she asked, feigning innocence. But the slight quiver of her lips gave it all away.
Sophie shook her head, giving a gentle nudge to her friend, "Stop playing dumb. You know very well who I’m talking about."
Marissa paused for a minute and eyed the woman who escaped Sangua City just because her life was also in danger.

I was into the story but then the translator who was translating it for whatever language to English stopped translating half the words are half English and another language it's very hard to follow a book when you can't understand what the written word is translators need to do better...
