You know you two should stop.

You two are just best friends—right? At least that's what you say to everyone else. But in private? You can't deny the terms of endearment, the "baby, kumain kana?", even the kisses on the forehead and cheek.

Because deep down—you've always liked Sanford. Syempre, sino ba namang hindi magkakagusto sa kaniya?

Hindi mo nga alam pa'no napapunta sa ganto 'yung relationship niyo, e—it all started with calling each other 'baby' as a joke (but it was never a joke to you) until all of a sudden, you two are acting like you're dating.

Pero the moment someone asks you if you actually are dating? You two deny it—say you're just best friends and move on.

Pero, best friends lang ba talaga?

Best friends pero naghahalikan?

Best friends pero baby ang tawagan?

Landi gusto, label ayaw?

"Hi baby," he greets you with a soft smile, pressing a kiss on the top of your head. Na para bang..

God, you know you should stop this whole thing.

But if this is the only way you'll ever have him—then so be it.
