Roger waits with his phone in hand for the next hour to stay updated with the news of @ReyDeArcilla surprise delivery.
He heaves a sigh of relief when the delivery company he had hired dropped a message to confirm that the gig had been carried out successfully.
Along with the —
gifts, there was also a handwritten note that sat clipped within the rosé bouquet, addressed specially to the Spaniard.
“Have a good recovery, Rafa. I know you’re too busy to go shopping so I’ve got you some fashionable clothes to try out.
P.S. Happy Valentine’s Day. Ur cute.”
@ReyDeArcilla 📲 I have something delivered for you. Let me know when you receive it.
Roger didn’t want to overdo his surprise. Sure, he deliberately picked a date that coincided with Valentine’s Day to deliver the gifts. But he couldn’t risk being too explicit about it as Rafa might panic.
Roger whips out his phone to write a quick text to @ReyDeArcilla.
“Are you going to be at home today? In the morning?”
Today was a special occasion, and Roger had a small surprise planned for Rafa.
@ReyDeArcilla What is your opinion about a person who moves on from a relationship after a year and ends up liking a friend who has been by their side for the longest time?
Are you sure there would be no judgement, Rafa?
@ReyDeArcilla It’s okay Rafa.
It’s actually—
The name of the Spaniard was threatening to trip off the tip of his tongue. And Roger was excruciatingly close to /saying/ Rafa’s name.
Yet again, his paralyzing fear of rejection throws him off course.
… It’s actually nothing.
@NoIeDjoker I have my own ways of celebrating the occasion. Not that you would know, since we’re not exactly friends who exchange private social media handles.
