Marco

"I can't."

"Yes you can."

"No I can't, Marco."

"Please?"

"Really. As much as I want to. I still have work."

I tried thinking of a bargain.

"How about tomorrow? Friday?"

"I can't, G. Tomorrow I have work."

"Then let's schedule that by Saturday?"

"Fine."

"So be it."

He finally agreed.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Marco. Yours?"

"G."

"That's a nice name Marco." I added.

"Thanks."

"You have a nice body too."

"Thank you G. You too. But I really have not worked out for months now."

"Really? Man, I wish I could do that and not worry."

"I actually want to get fatter."

*Silence

"Seriously?" I felt he seemed ridiculous.

"Seriously."

'Haha."

"Why?"

"Because you're really boastful!"

"I'm not. ;)"

"You are."

"No, I'm not G."

"By the way, where do you work?"

"I work as a part-time teacher in Alabang. How about you?"

"I work as a Health Coach in Taguig."

"That's nice."

"Thanks. Your work is nice too!" I told him.

"Yeah. I believe that children really are the future."

"I believe so too. :) So...do you want to talk about your breakup?"

"Nah. I believe we'll leave that for Saturday."

"Alright. Looking forward."

And with that I flipped my phone and tried falling to sleep.
