ASHLY POV
"I miss you too. Keep safe there. Kaiden is waiting for you." I said as I bid farewell to Maeve in the video call. We just talk about the poor peoples in thailand who suffered from disaster.
Maeve said "You too. Guard him well."

"Don't worry. Ill keep an eye on him." I said as I wave my hand and ended the vc.
"Are you now satisfied? This is the third time I called her for you. Good thing she's free." I said as I look at Kaiden infront of me smiling and listening our whole convos. "Satisfied，satisfied."
"You're like a little fool. You must be missing her so much，but don't worry now that we're friends. Ill update you everytime we did sone vc. So you can hear her voice."
"Ayah! Don't be chessy. Okay?"
I stood up and went to my room to change my clothes after I finish I went out from my room "Btw，just lock my condo after you go out."
"Where are you going?"

"Im going met up with Quint. We agreed to eat on a restaurant to catch up." I said and grabbed my phone.
"Yeah cool."
"You，don't have anything to do and going to stay here?"
"Yeah." He said

"Why? Gotta attacked by lovesickness again? You just heard her voice few minute ago."
"Go go. You're so annoying!" He said and even pushed me to the door
"Fvck you，don't push me!"
"Get lost now."
"Tss. Gotta go now. Its nothing to steal inside my condo." I said and laugh
I WENT STRAIGHT to the restaurant Quintin and I agreed to met up.
As I enter the restaurant there are lots of people.
Quintin wave his hand when he saw me "Here." I immediately went to him
"You're so early?"
"No，I just arrived. I haven't had ordered yet. Waiter menu please."
The waiter arrive and gave us the menu.
"Pasta， fries and choco flavor milktea please." I said and hand him the menu
"Cancel the milktea and make it wine，plus 2 steaks." Quint said
"So how are doing over there in Pennsylvania?"
"Its quite good." He answer
"Tss. You don't even said that you're already back. How stingy of you."
"Its all too sudden plus Im plan to suprise you but I guess it all ruined when we bumbed into each other in that day."
I was about to say when the waiter came and deliver our order. He also poured the wine on our glass then leave after.
"Finally，we don't have to drink wine in a sneaky way. We can freely drink wine now." I said and take a sip "I remember，we sneakly drank wine in our university garden HAHA! We nearly get caught，we were so nervous that time."
"Yeah and I still remember that your alcohol tolerance is so low. Now did it improved a little?" He said
"Well excuse me，my alcohol toleranfe is much better now." I said and raise my glass "Cheers."
"Cheers"
We did lot of talk about his life in Pennsylvania，how did he became an architect.
We also talked about my life for the past seven years and just like Kaiden，he also advice me to reconcile with my father and just like Kaiden， I answer him that we can't resolved our problems.
"By the way，I have a good friend who was a manager of a music company. Maybe you can try? Ill recommend you to her."
"Really?"
He messed up my hair "Yes ofcourse. I can't let my talented friend be in vain."
"By the way，you have to come to my gig tomorrow at CARD in 8pm. You know where it is?"
"Yeah. I used to perform there when I was in highschool."
"You know what? I envy you，I envy other peoples who already reached their dreams. Look，its already 7 years and still，here am I haven't reach my goal yet."
"I can see your efforts，you can make too. Just don't gave up on your dreams. Try even harder，and you can also reach for your goals in life." Quint said.
I just look at him and smile sadly "Does my efforts all this years are not enough?"
"Its enough，those companies are just dumb wasting a talent like you."
I smile and began to eat.
Then after eating we went to the bookstore and bought books "Riddle book，'Kwentong Pambata(children's stories)，Horry Poter. What else?"
"Children's Stories? You have a child now?!" I ask as I grabb the book
"No，its for my auntie's daughter."
My mouth form into 'O' "I thought you already found sister-in-law for me. Your now too old，find me one!"
"Too soon，I still waits for her."
My eyes went big as I quickly ask him "Who's her?!"
"Secret."
"Spill the teaaa."
"Wait for it."
"Ayya. Just a little hint or what. Just ease my curiosity."
He laugh "She's with my vibe."
My eyebrows furrowed "Is it that me? Im with your vibe. HAHAHAH! Just kiddin'. So there still another woman who's vibe with you except me you scumbag?"
He laugh and put the books in the counter "Yes and No."
"What yes and no?" Im really confused now. This man is making me so damn curious "Ohhh，is she the same with you in profession or something?"
"No，but she loves music more than I do."
I immediately shut my mouth and listen carefully how he discribe her. Full of love，Inspirations，and happiness. It like he really met his love of his life. What is love? For me its boring thing，cringe，spent lots of money for useless things and gifts，and mostly lust. Mostly of men only want women in bed to satisfy their needs and lusts.
After we bought the books，even though we are already in the front of my condo unit I still asked him about his 'girl'.
"We arrived，I'll go now."
"You don't want to go inside?" I ask
"I want to but I still have plans to make."
"Then make it here." I said but he just turn his back on me and started walking the hallway
"Don't forget to intruduce me to her." I said while waving my hand.
When he turn left and disappeared from mu sight，I open my condo and went in.
"Your here?" I was so shock to see Kaiden still inside my condo "You haven't leave?"
He look at me "Yeah，I see that your ref doesn't have any good in it so I went grocery to fill it. So it will be all 502.06 philippine peso."
"That expensive?!" I hurried to the kitchen to saw what did he buy to went that much.
My ref looks plentiful and colorful organized; Fruits and Veggies，Avocado，Butter，Eden Cheese，one tray of Eggs，Milk，chocolates and beer; San Mig flavored beer and Soju.
"Woah，why did you buy so many alcohol?"
"Its just 8 bottles，5 for soju while 3 for flavored beer with different flavors; apple，lemon，lychee. For your future celebration of failure HAHAHA! Just joking，so overall you have 1，000 debt from me."
"What?! I won't pay that， did I say you should go grocery for me?" I said and put my hand cross in front of my chest.
"You don't but Maeve did. I remember clearly that she said， I should take care of your goods so that you can guard me well."
"That's unnecessary，Im eating my dinner in your condo."
"Then how about your breakfast and lunch?"
"In breakfast I just have bread with mayo and milk while in launch I usually have cup noddles Hehe. I don't know how to cook okay?"
"That's you so thin，you don't eat much. There's now veggies in your ref，I'll cook for you..." he said and sat down in the chair in front of the kitchen counter "Everyday. Just take it as pay of favor you make from me."
"What favor?"
"That，you let me hear Maeve's voice."
I nodded "Actually its just a small favor you don't have to cook for me，if I really want to eat something，Ill just ride to the food stalls near here. Their food are so tasty there."
"Just accept this pay of favor. Until Maeve can come back. I'm just going to practice my cooking. You provide reviews and feedbacks. Plus take pictures and send it Maeve."
I smile "Ohhh，HAHAH! then deal. When will you start?"
"Tomorrow."
"What?! That fast?"
"Maeve will came back in just few weeks."
Oh right! Maeve will came home in just few weeks，wait I lost my count! Aissstt!
"What do you fear? Your cooking is good，but hehe sometimes its a bit salty or sometimes its a bit lack of salt."
"That's why I need your help."
"Okay deal. But I won't pay that 1k you madafucker!"
"Tsss. You are such thrifty."
"Of course. You bought them yourself."
"I still have lots of appliances here that haven't arrange yet，please arrange it also. Thank You."
"I saw it. Its in your vaccant room unarrange." He said and look at me boredly
"I totally forgot about it okay?"
I never expect that Kaiden and I became friends and close like this
"You're an archi ， design my interior." I said while opening the room where I put the unopenned appliances
"I'm an Archi not a interior designer." He said
"Is'nt that just the same?"
"No its not. Interior designers make indoor spaces functional, safe, and beautiful by determining space requirements and selecting essential and decorative items, such as colors, lighting, and materials. They must be able to draw, read, and edit blueprints." He said and enter the room when I already open it to scan the appliances "While we，architect，are persons who designs buildings and in many cases also supervises their construction. Its the same with Engineers."
"Ohhh."
"Its new?"
"Yes. I just bought it last year I guess."
"So long?"
One by one he took them out and placed them in suitable places for them.
Mostly of them are just kitchen utensils，I just use Electric Fan or Ceiling Fan cause I don't like aircon I'm getting sick with it. Kaiden also helped me with the installation of Ceiling lights and chandelier.
Then the last box was my bedroom's table lamp.
"Let me." I said and get the table lamp on his hand. My bedroom has only one light bulb which can light my entire room but Im more comfortable with dimmer light while Im sleeping. Kaiden open the door for me，and followed me inside the room. I put the lamp in the table beside my bed.
"Woah，you're like viewing your dream in this view." Kaiden said lying in my bed and watching my ceiling full of my paints "I didn't know you like painting too."
"I love painting." I said and look up. "I imagine what I want to paint and then I just paint."
"Its feels like dream gazing." He said and put his arms in the back of his head "Its wonderful."
I close my eyes.
My ceiling paintings consist of me singing in the wide stage facing the crowds，holding my first ever album，receiving my rewards，raised the trophy and shouted with cofetti still flying around as the crowd stand up and cheer for me "Yeah. Its amazing." I said and open my eyes.
I look Kaiden who was still lying on my bed，eyes close. I tapped his shoulder a little "Kaiden? Kaiden?" but he has no response "Asleep? So fast?"
Maybe he was so tired of what he did earlier. I turn off the lights，went out slowly and close the door.
I gather all the cartons and tied it.
I went down the building and put it in the trash.
When I got back I suddenly felt hungry so I went to the kitchen and get a cup noodles in the cabinet and poured hot water in it.
When it's already ready，I start eating. After，I slowly open the door of my bedroom to get some fresh Tshirt and Pajamas then I enter the bathroom to change my clothes，brush my teeth and to wash my face. I also get the extra pillow in the bed and the thin blanket at went to the couch to sleep.
I WOKE up because of the tasty smell in the air comming from nowhere.
I fixed my hair and went to the bathroom to wash. That's when I realized I was in my room! I quikly open the bathroom door and I look around. "I was really in my room. But I clearly spelt in the couch last night."
"Your awake?" He ask when he saw me in the bathroom door look confused
"How did I get here? Did I transport?" If I saw myself now，I look like an idoit
"No，I woke up midnight. I saw you sleeping in the couch so I carry you to your bedroom. I'm sorry I slept in your bed."
"Nah，its okay and btw thanks for the appliances. My condo look like a real condo."
"No probs，let's eat now."
Ohh，I just remember he said last night that today he will start cooking for me. I went down with him and goes straight to the kitchen. There are already prepared meals in the table and it is still hot ""Skinless Longganisa，Eggs，Hotdog，Rice and Coffee for breakfast." He said
"Ohh，what a simple breakfast." I said and sat down in the chair "Maeve loves Eggs and Rice in the morning."
"Yeah，that's why I made this. Usually I burn the eggs when I cook them."
I laugh "Really?"
"Yeah." He said and sit down in front of me.
"Then Good job Mr. Bautista."
