I pulled him close to me and we went for another round of frenzied lovemaking. before I lost consciousness again. I didn’t wake up again until the next morning. I was still dressed in the outfit I wore the night before and had a pounding hangover. I went downstairs to get something for my headache, changed clothes, and went back to sleep. I woke up past lunchtime. It was only then that I had the time to check my phone—with several missed calls and a dozen messages. What I read made my blood run cold. From my boyfriend, the message said: “Babe, sorry I can’t pick you up, I’ve a late meeting for my org. I asked our driver, Mang Jojo, to drop you off at your house na lang.” He still doesn’t know to this day, and I’ve never ridden with Mang Jojo ever again.
