Then Erika number two,

left the sock on the door.

There was no place I can go to,

because it was late night

I was just standing there

and I could hear her.

I have a question

Is Erika number two Japanese?

Because all I can hear was...

We'll be late.

Our girls are waiting.

Oh, girls again.

Because of this man,

he doesn't want to join us.

Are you really letting Reena wait?

She has a thing for you bro.

Derek

[inaudible]

[Sighs]

[whimpering]

[crying]

[light saber sound]

You shall get over

your ex

[light-saber sound]

Oh well! Reena and the others left,

and so did James so,

I decided to leave too.

[crying]

[alarm beeping]

If you didn't like what happened

between us, it's okay Derek.

I understand.

I will just tell Mrs. Esguerra

that I'm transferring to another

room later or tomorrow.

I do understand.

[typing]

Have I ever told you how much

I hated ketchup when I was a kid?

When I was about 5 or 6, it was

my worst food in the entire world.

There was no way you

could get me to eat ketchup.

And...

I just avoided ketchup like the plague

for pretty much my entire childhood.

And then sometime junior year, I uh...

I was really hungry and I ate t

he first thing I saw in a cafeteria,

I didn't bother to look inside.

And it was one of the best sandwiches

I ever had in my entire life

I told myself right after I had it,

I'm gonna have to have more.

And when I ask what was inside the sandwich,

it was ketchup.

The food that I hated, something

I never thought I might like,

ended up being my favorite food of all time.

Right now, you feel like ketchup.

And I don't even know how to begin

to describe what just happened but

I mean...

I don't want to pretend it didn't happen.

Derek you're just confused.

Okay?

We're just the same.

Even me, I am just confused.

I don't know what to do because...

I didn't know this would happen.

It is your first time right?

Let's just think it through, please.

I know you.

I know you well.

I know you.

You had relationships with girls.

If those didn't last, why would with me?

I am so confused.

To be honest.

I don't know.

I'm late for class, okay?

Oh that boy!

He hasn't changed, he is still messy.

Will he take too long?

All I know is that he has a class

but I just don't know

what time it will finish.

I'll surprise him. You know,

it's Valentine's Day.

Us, mothers, sometimes like

to be their sons' date.

Has he ever mentioned

a girl he is into or crazy about?

Oh well...

You know before, he introduced a girl to me.

He brought her home.

I think her name is Erika, yeah Erika.

But they didn't last that long.

They lasted for only two months.

That's why I'm scared of him,

because I might be surprised.

That one day he will just bring

a pregnant girl home, right?

I think that would be impossible to happen.

WW M you say so?

He is American.

One-night stands are nothing to him.

Just like his father.

He is just like me.

So look what happened,

I got pregnant with him.

[Sighs]

Will it take him too long?

I'm not that sure.

I've been texting him but he's not replying.

Maybe his phone's battery is low.

[playing guitar]

Oh! Mom!

Why are you here?

Surprised?!

Of course, it's Valentine's Day.

I'm your date tonight.

1 did. Why?

You don't want it?

Because I haven't seen you for awhile.

I thought you might have a girlfriend.

Do you have one?

I should intro -

[nervous laugh]

- Yeah Mark

- Yeah you met

We talk about you.

What exactly did you talk about?

Oh, nothing.

[laughs]

I should've visited sooner and I'm...

Are you [inaudible]

Right now?

I know a restaurant, they serve good food.

I want you to come with me and be your date.

I promised I would see one

person tonight and I, I...

Well you came out of...

you didn't exactly tell me you were coming!

What time is it?

Mark, what time is it?

- Uh...

- I cannot wait any longer!

How about I'll be back at

9 PM sharp, so be prepared.

If you aren't good to go at 9 PM,

I won't give you your

allowance for next week.

Wow okay, I'm gonna

be there, I promise.

[kisses]

BYE bye.

I missed you too.

See you later.

So cool!

What?

Nothing!

Why?

Cause I know you better than that.

Than what?

You wanna let something out

and if you don't do it in a normal way

it's gonna get way out of control very fast.

Very soon.

But there's really nothing.

No, I'm okay.

I have no problem.

Like none at all.

In fact I'm so happy!

I'm really really happy!

What?

Come on just tell me.

Tell you what?

There's none.

[laughs]

Do I have a problem?

I don't really have a problem.

Derek, we've been together

for quite awhile now

I don't have a problem.

How about you? Do you have a problem?

I'm a happy guy.

I'm a happy guy in a happy relationship.

Okay, so am I.

I'm also a happy guy

in a happy relationship.
