ASHLY POV
It was already 8pm when we got back to Manila. Maybe Kaiden won’t be cooking dinner anymore today because we ate dinner on the plane plus we also had a snack at their house before we left but I'll still do my job, checking him later.
I went straight to my condo and he went straight to his. I was shocked to see my belongings, clothes and sandals scattered around. I was in a hurry to pack my things, because of the excitement, I did not sleep well the night before we left, so I did not realize the time and I woke up. I went to my room and lay down for a while and then I got up and put my suitcase in my room. I put the clothes I didn't wear back in my closet. After that I headed to the kitchen and put in the refrigerator the desserts given by Kaiden’s Dad. He saw that I liked the dessert so he packed some for me. After I unpacked the things that I got from Kaiden's parents house I dressed in fresher clothes. I styled my hair in messy bun hairstyle and began to clean up. I put in the disposal bag the empty cup noddles, empty bottled beers and the empty junk foods I ate. I put my smelly clothes and socks in the washing machine and the clothes I want to wash. After that I went to the kitchen to washed the plates that had hardened in the sink because I hadn't washed them in a few weeks. Usually, I only eat cup noodles or I'll just order and they will deliver or I'll eat outside, those delicious food stalls out there but I often eat dinner at Kaiden's place.

I went out with the disposal bag to throw outside. When I came back I saw the door of Kaiden's condo was open so I peeked.
There was no one in the living room so I just turned around to leave.
I looked behind me as the door of his condo opened widely "Where are you going?"
He was even surprised to see me "Im going out."
My forehead immediately furrowed "Where are you going? Who's with you?"
"Mall."

"Let me go with you." I said and acted as if to enter but he spoke
"Are you sure? Im going with Lucky."
My jaws stiffened. "Nevermind."
"Then I'll get going."

"Wait!" Gradually the smile appeared from my lips. I remember that the results of my interview with JMP, a music company will come out now，maybe they will call me later "In total, you will also go to the mall, buy me a can of beer."
He held out his palm in front of me "Money?"
"Are you dumb or what. it's automatic okay? You should treat me some beer!"
"Its up to you."
He said and locked his condo and turned his back on me. Before he could get inside the elevator I spoke "Don't forget my beer!"
He just shook his head and entered the elevator.
I smiled and went inside my condo. I have been looking for a music company that will accept new talent for a long time but all my efforts have been in vain. Either, my music doesn't meet their standards or maybe they don't recruit new talents. JMP is my last hope. So I pray that they will accept me. I’ve been wanting to be a professional singer, have my own album and share my singing talent. Sometimes, I think Dad bribed the CEO of the company I applied not to accept me, to break my dream andto stop me from singing but I just keep thinking positive.
"It's a pity. Kaiden left, I can't watch drama on his netflix now. Next time I will ask for a duplicate of his condo key so that even without him, I can watch netflix."
I opened my Youtube and connected it to the flatscreen tv I debt from a turko HAHAHA! No person is without debt.
I watched some popular bands performance like The Beatles，The Rolling Stone，Aerosmith，Oasis，Westlife，Backstreet Boys，and Bon Jovi just to be inspired of making new songs.
Later on when I felt really sleepy and tired. I turned it off. I lay down on the couch and was about to close my eyes when someone knock on the door.
'Maybe kaiden? He bought me beer?'
If Kaiden buys me, I'll just add that beer for my celebration later in case I'm accepted. Kaiden's dad gave me 4 beer wines, the same as the one we drank on Kaiden's mom's birthday. He even gave me a receipt for the drink but it's just too expensive. But everything has a way right?
I lazily opened the door
"My beer?" I asked lazily and held out my hand
"Here."
I immediately reached for the bag that contained 6-8 cans of beers from his hand "
"Woah. Why did you buy so many? Im contented with 2-3 cans."
"What do you think its free? You owe that to me, you dumbass. 400 pesos in total." He said and entered his condo.
I immediately frowned "Son of a bitch!"
KAIDEN'S POV
Lucky and I agreed to met at the mall earlier to buy paint for the mini model we are making now that will be handed out on friday.
Mini modern house model is a special project for us, architect commissioned by the head. In the meantime, Quintin is the one in charge of the big project I'm holding because he said that he's already done with this project. You know, I took a leave because it's my Mom birthday.
Quintin offer that he will handle this project for a while, he also said that I should treat him some beer in return. 'Just send my regards and greetings to Auntie. Don't forget it.' - Quintin
About Ashly, Quintin and I last talked about her the other day.
After buying what to buy ， we also went to the supermarket inside the mall to buy some stocks. Lucky is run out of food stocks AGAIN tsk, who wouldn't run out of stock if the chicks that he met in the disco and bars were brought to his home. What a playboy.
Along the way, when we passed by the beer section, that's when I remembered that Ashly wants me to buy her some beer in can. I grabbed 8 cans and placed it in the cart.
I smirked and said to myself 'Let's see if you're not getting drunk.'
Lucky even asked what it was for. But I just ignored him. Knowing Lucky, he was not satisfied with a 'one question-one answer' portion. He asked a series of questions when he was curious. In the end, He also took two packs of beer.
When he already bought the stocks that he needed; Cup Noodles, Chips, Nutella, Bread, Meat, Eggs, Milk, etcc we head to the counter and paid.
After I gave Ashly her the plastic containing the can of beers. I entered the condo.
I can not believe she thought it was really free huh. What is she, lucky? I will never treat her using my money. My money is for my future family with Maeve. I will never used my money for weirdos like her.
I laid the paint and spray paint on the table next to my mini model modern house. I also opened chips for me to eat when I'm hungry.
It was about 10 o'clock when I finished painting. I put the model on top of the cabinet and I was sorting out my clutter when the door of my condo opened and Ashly came in ... carrying the beer I bought for her along with another beer- Wait, is that the beer we drank on my Mom's birthday? She have those?! Not just one but four!
She laid it on the center table of my living room that I had just cleaned and one by one she took out the cans.
"What are those?"
"Don't you see?" I could see the annoyance on her face but that disappeared immediately.
"I mean, don't say you want to have a drink with me? Hey, you still owe me that!"
"Tss. You look like money..Yeah! Let's have a drink."
"Why?"
"What, why? I don't have anything to drink with, so it's just you."
"Do you have a problem?" I asked with a frown in my head.
She was stunned for a moment and then she looked at me "Why? If I say I have a problem, will you sympathize and help me?"
"Of course not. We are not even friends."
"That's it! Just have a drink with me, don't talk too much."
She took a can of beer and gave it to me then went to the kitchen and when she came back she's already holding a big Oishi prawn crackers and a small bowl with vinegar "Great，you have stock of this. It's good with alcohol. What a pity we don't have any sisig，isaw，mani (peanuts)，or chicharon (pork rinds) . It tastes better when you have this."
'She said 'Don't talk too much'， eh，she's the one who talked too much.' I said to myself
She sat down and we started drinking.
I only had two beer cans but Ashly had three and was still holding her fourth beer. "Are you really that happy family? Even if your mom's birthday party is simple, it's still fun. I hope my family is the same." She said the last sentence almost in a whisper but I still heard her.
"Why?"
"Today, I want you to treat me a beer for the celebration of my success. But now，treat this as celebration of failure"
