Checking out the boys

May 09

Paris seemed to be doing much better than he was a couple of days before.
Well, that's from what I can tell when I was talking with him over the
phone. I guess meeting up and spending time with Steve and KC (not at the
same time I hope) enabled him to shift thru his feelings and finally decide
on who is much closer to his heart.

I think the Luke and Paris clash has ended. They're heading out for coffee
at ABS where, according to Luke, is teeming with some cute guys. For some
reason, drinking coffee while watching cute guys pass by does have some
therapeutic value. That ambiance and an open discussion between the two
should enable them to iron our their misunderstandings.

I dropped by Festival Mall to get a long overdue copy of "X-men Age of
Apocalypse". I was tempted to check on SBC to see if Daniel was there.
But I quickly dismissed the thought, thinking it would bring no benefit for
me to meet up with him. I guess I wasn't too careful for the next thing I
knew somebody was shouting out "Migs!" from the middle of the mall.

I looked back to see Mark, Daniel's straight best friend, waving at me from
the top of the escalator. I signalled him that I was going to circle back.
I knew Mark was working at the Mall giving away pamphlets but I didn't know
they would be there quite late, guess they're working on a different shift
that mine.

"Hey buddy!" Mark greeted me as he did the customary handshake. From the
corner of my eye I say Eve walking towards me and gave her cheek kiss.
"You really do like me!" Eve commented to my astonishment. "You always
bump into me. Are you following me or something?"

"You caught me!" I laughed with her. Eve's this forty something lady who
thinks everyone she knows is lusting after her or wants to marry her. I
guess I've just been added to the list.

"Where's Daniel? Aren't you two together?" She asked as she looked
around.

Ouch. "No, I just got off work and just picked up something. He's still
probably at work." I dodged.

"Well, why don't you call him so that we can all have coffee or something."
Eve suggested as she moved back to her desk.

"He'll pass by when he's ready" Mark answered her. I don't know if he was
just answering for nothing or did he actually know something and was
covering for me.

"So how was Boracay?" I asked as Mark panicky pulled me out of Eve's
hearing range.

"Shh!! She doesn't know I went. She thinks I went and do some seeding or
something." Mark laughed. "Still, Boracay was great! Quite different from
the time we were there! There were so much eye-candy!" Mark exclaimed.

"That's great! Did you score any?" I replied hoping Mark was able to get
some coz he sure needed the distraction.

"Nah! But, I'm telling you! There were so many! I mean from the yacht
there were already two!" Mark continued with his story.

"Two?!" Not really that really that eager to hear about girls but what the
heck.

"Yup! Two white guys! You should have been there! You guys would really
have enjoyed it" He said with this stupid looking grin on his face.

Wait. Did he say two guy?! Is it possible that Mark is checking out guys
now rather than girls? I don't think I can handle that right now.
