Part II (I don't know how many parts this is):

For Naomi-010, there was comfort in the routine.

Oftentimes, the Spartan-II enjoyed using the knowledge that was drilled into her during training when there was something on her mind. In particular, she liked to tinker - to maintain her weapons and armor while making the occasional change here and there. It was a moment of peace and reflection that allowed her to think without staying idle. When someone asked her if she could take a look at their sniper rifle, she jumped at the opportunity.

The dismantlement, inspection, and cleaning of a SRS-99D was instinctual at this point. Her practiced hands allowed her to switch to autopilot, to think and observe while going through the motions to make short work of the task. While her hands reassembled the rifle, her mind was elsewhere, wandering. Thoughts of a certain ODST Gunnery Sergeant she was partnered with were at the forefront of her mind. Lately, it seemed most of her thoughts were about you.

Oftentimes, the little things about you would leave her feeling flustered, replaying in her head in the quiet moments of the day. Small things like how that twinkle in your eyes seemed to brighten when you saw her or the way your voice was softer, more genuine when you spoke to her made the tips of Naomi's ears burn without fail. Right now, though, she was repeating something you had said on that last drop.

I got lucky enough to meet you, didn't I?

Her cheeks singed at the memory. The Spartan could vividly recall how radiant you looked as you said those few gilded words that left her speechless. She could recall that ever present twinkle in your eyes that seemed to absorb the starlight above you, the way the corner of your eyes crinkled when you smiled - a smile that wasn't the polite, forced one you used with other officers but one that was luminously genuine. In the days since, she repeated that night over and over until she came to a relevation.

Naomi was no fool. She knew exactly what she was feeling for you, and that was the issue. She didn't know what to do now that she knew. Should she just tell you? Would it interfere on the battlefield? Will it ruin your friendship? Would you even accept her feelings? So many unknowns she couldn't know.

What she did know was that the very idea of such a relationship would probably break several rules and regulations, and would definitely have some form of consequence if caught, but doing nothing with this insight was starting to frustrate her. She was planning ahead when she didn't even know how to tell you, which is why her evening was spent in the armory thinking and tinkering. How does a Spartan-II tell someone that they were interested in them romantically?

"Oh! I didn't expect to see you in here so late."

Reality came rushing back into focus with you leaning on the door to the armory dressed in full ODST gear. The visor to your helmet cleared and she could see the lopsided grin you were giving her as you made your way over to the cozy little corner she called her own.

"Busy day?" The Spartan asked.

"More of the same." You shrugged, rolling your shoulders before taking off your helmet. "Just finished running some drills with the kids. This seat taken?"

"I don't know." Naomi hummed. "I was saving it for my dance partner."

"Unfortunately for you," You chuckled as you plopped down across from her, "I don't dance."

"What if I said pretty please?"

"Not a chance."

A comfortable silence swiftly fell between the two of you as you settled in next to the Spartan-II, taking to leaning your head on the table while she put the finishing touches on the rifle. As she admired her work, she worked up the nerve to ask you a question that had been bothering her for a while now.

"Can I ask you something?"

I'm giggling, I'm squealing, I'm legit kicking my feet. I've been waiting for this beauty.

I didn't even realize this was before they got together until now and omgg, I'm getting the full content.

I just need you to know, I love this.

Ahhhh, she knows she's in love and she is in love. And the banter with her!!!

I almost did an annotated read of this but I didn't want to wait till morning to read it, I wanted the content right away.

Hit n Run [BONGLENI]

IV. Rocos Insurances

Two weeks after, Leni received nothing from Rocos Insurances confirming her hiring. She knew she didn't stand a chance to make it. She decided to just continue searching for jobs the next weeks.

"Ate, nakakuha ka ba ng trabaho sa Rocos?" Natalia asked while she was watching the television with her sister.

"Hindi ako pinalad e." She replied with the bad news. "Pero wag ka mag-alala. Makakahanap rin ako ng trabaho tapos mabibili ko na lahat ng gusto mo." She poured in some positive thoughts.

"So kamusta naman pala yung school mo?" Leni asked. "Mmmm. Okay naman po. Wala namang masyadong bago." Natalia replied.

"Ay! Meron pala. May bumisita sa school sabi ng teacher namin isa daw yon sa major donators? Di ko matandaan basta. Ang bait niya. Sabi niya ang talino ko daw and ang cute cute ko daw tapos binigyan niya ako nito." She pulled out her notebook from her bag and showed Leni the three star stamp that she got.

"Wow! Ang galing naman ng little Natalia! Napakatalino at cute mo talaga." She agreed. "Ano bang pangalan nung donator na yan?" She asked.

"Di ko po matandaan e..." Natalia looked so troubled as she struggled to recall his name. "Pero mabait siya tapos pogi. Para ngang bagay po kayo." She teased.

"Ano?" Leni chuckled with the idea.

Her phone rang, she had to attend to the call.

Leni: Hello?

Person: Hello. Good afternoon, is this miss Leni?

Leni: Yes, speaking. Ano pong kailangan nila?

Person: Yes. Hello. This is Michelle from Rocos Insurances. We would like to inform you that you have a scheduled interview for Friday afternoon at 2PM. Are you available at the said time?

Leni panicked and started to hyperventilate with the news she just heard. The lady on line informed her about her interview.

Leni: Yes! Yes. I'm free on Friday po.

Person: Great. So we'll see you on Friday, miss Leni. Thank you.

Leni: Yes. Thank you. Thank you!

She dropped the line a squealed in excitement and happiness.

—

Friday came, Leni prepared herself for the callback at Rocos. She tried not to get bothered about the fact that she is about to see Bongbong Marcos again.

She was asked to go to building C of Rocos for her interview, she had her last interview with Bongbong at Building A.

"Miss Leni?" The assistant called and guided her to the office.

She was a bit relieved not to see Bongbong waiting for her at the boss' table.

"Have a seat." The employer offered. She took a seat and greeted him politely.

"So Leni, right?" He began with a smile. She felt a bit comfortable with him than when she was being interviewed by Bongbong.

"I'm Rodrigo Duterte. Productions and Quality control department board of director." He introduced and shook her hand. "Pleasure to meet you po, sir." She smiled back.

"So... I asked the HR to call you back because there is a job hiring slot for secretary assistant. I heard you were applying for an executive assistant position last time, tama ba?"

"Ah. Yes, sir."

"Yeah. So I was wondering if you're interested in this position?" He asked.

"Ay opo, sir. It would be so fine. I mean, I could work on any position or any related position. I'm grateful po." She replied.

He began to explain to her the purpose of her callback and how he felt the potential in her despite of the fact that she was an undergrad. She threw in some questions for clarifications after his discussion with her.

"Sir, if you don't mind, may i just ask if you are anyway related to Mr. Marcos po?" She asked as she began to feel at ease to ask such questions.

"Bongbong...? Bongbong Marcos?"

"Yes, sir." She confirmed. "Oo. He's the board director of the Strategic Marketing department. Bakit? Do you know him?" He asked.

"Ah hindi po. May interview po kase ako sakanya last time.. Naisip ko lang po if related po ba ito doon..."

"Ah, ininterview ka pala niya last time." He pointed out. "I saw you last time at building A at the elevator area... Pero your callback is not related to your interview with Bongbong. It's another department." He clarified.

She felt more relieved that her hiring is slightly distant and not related to Bongbong.

"Didn't you make it to his department?" He asked. She chuckled. "Hindi po e."

He wasn't very surprised though. "He's one of the most feared board director in this firm. Gina Lopez is his female version. Strikto talaga sila pero sobrang skilled and smart. Don't get too bothered with that." He explained. "You'll be under my department, anyways. I don't like scaring people under my department so... You'll be fine." He chuckled making her feel at ease being hired under him.

"Thank you po, sir. Medyo nabunutan ako ng tinik." She chuckled with him.

He dialed his secretary to come in. "May schedule ba ako ngayong araw?" He asked.

"Uhm... Wala naman po sir. Review lang po para sa project four." She replied. "Okay. Reschedule that tomorrow morning. Thanks." He requested and stood up from his seat.

"Leni." He called and asked her to follow him for her short orientation.

Usually, orientation are administered by other minor employees but Rody has been the nicest board director in Rocos that he prefers orienting the new employees he hired by himself.

He opened the powerpoint and began the orientation by introducing to Leni the bosses of the Rocos.

President (CEO): Fredrick Montgomery Sr.

Executive Vice President (COO): Imee Marcos-Montgomery

Board of Directors:

Bongbong Marcos - Strategic Marketing Director

Gina Lopez - Accounting Director

Rody Duterte - Production Director

Executive Managers:

Martin Romualdez - Sales Manager, QC

Ariella Nicole - Cost Accounting Supervisor

He informed her about the groundbreaking professional achievements and academic background of the big bosses and it just bewildered Leni.

And so on...

Soon then, Leni was informed about the day she can begin to work.

"What can I say? See you next week and welcome to Rocos." Rody gave her a warm welcome before allowing her to go.

—

Leni began to work the following weeks. She managed to adjust and adapt the new workplace with benefit of working under Rody's department. She was able to adjust well since Risa was hired as an executive secretary which Leni is under to and they became good friends.

So far, her performance in the company was satisfactory. She didn't give Rody any reason to regret her hiring.

As much as it was unlikely for Bongbong and Leni to cross paths, it was inevitable not for Bongbong to discover her being part of Rody's department.

—

Bongbong has been trying so hard to pretend that he doesn't give a single damn about Leni but then, there are several instances that he just find himself staring blankly at places and thinking about her. He felt like his ego was being damaged with the thought of her.

"Bongets!" Martin called his attention as he noticed him discreetly staring at Leni from the outside of the conference room through the glass doors. Martin traced his sight and gave him a smirk.

"Hooked ka yata diyan kay hospital girl, huh?" He teased and chuckled. "Huh? Of course not. Anong hook? Tsaka I slept with her already. I don't sleep with the same woman twice." He denied but Martin knew he was into her.

"I know! But you are into her. Kahit sabihin mong gusto mo lang siya i-kama, iba naman ang sinasabi ng mata mo." Martin laughed. Bongbong rolled his eyes.

"Martin. There is no such thing as into her for me. I just come for fun. That's how we live." He bragged and made a side smile as he discreetly looked back at Leni — his face pulled out to show no interest in her.

He knew to himself that he finds Leni extremely interesting and attractive but he didn't want to take in that fascination of her. He tried his best to shrug it off and just see her as how he sees the other girls.

—

Leni and Rody became closer as she always stood by his side in his office. They had the chance to exchange short conversations that eventually turned into sensible ones.

Their humors matched easily. They both love local things, they love donuts, they love coconut foods, they both have a tender love for their families and they both are sympathetic kind of persons. Rody aimed to bring out the best in her as he has always admired her unique beauty and perspective in life.

—

One afternoon, Rody called Leni in his office.

"Hello sir, may kailangan po ba kayo?" She asked — ready to do commands from him.

He handed her a folder of projects for photocopying. She immediately had them photocopied and returned to him quickly.

"Great. Great. Thanks." He handed her another folder and didn't mention what to do with it.

"Ipapa-xerox ko rin po sir? Ilang copy po?" She asked. He smiled. "No."

She felt bothered. She didn't know what she is supposed to do with it. "Uuh...?"

"Buksan mo" He told her as he felt her sincere cluelessness.

She curled her forehead for a moment in curiosity before she opened the folder.

Are you free tonight?

A piece of paper tucked in the folder said. A small smile grew in her lips as her cheeks began to turn pink. She looked at him for an explanation without verbally asking him.

"Ikot mo." He felt her blushing.

She turned it over and read what was written in it.

Can I ask you out?

Her hands voluntarily went to her mouth in extreme blush. Rody found her so cute as she struggled to suppress herself with his cute way of asking her out.

She had always found him cute and adorable and the thought of him asking her out just made her feel like floating with feels.

"So... Will you go out with me tonight?" He sounded like a gentleman.

"Parang..." She gulped. "... date po?" She continued and pursed her lips in exhilaration.

"Mmm... Parang ganon na nga." He confirmed and smiled at her. "Sino ba naman ako para mag-inarte pa?" She held her cheeks and shamelessly blushed in front of him.

—

Bongbong was ready to go home, scheduled to pick up Jewel whom Martin set him up with to have some fun session that night. He walked to his car and unintentionally saw Rody opening the door of his car for Leni. They looked so happy and he couldn't help but feel bothered and annoyed.

He felt so annoyed that he suddenly lost his mood. He wanted to vent out. He wanted to come to her and insult her and call her a hoè but he knew that would make him look so jealous and pathetic and he didn't want to look that way to anyone.

He ignored and tried to keep it off his head for the rest of the day but it was tattooed in his vision. He couldn't just stop thinking about it.

—

After some pleasurable session with Jewel, he laid his back on the bed and thought about Leni.

Kung may affair siya kay Rody, for sure napakadaling bola bolahin non. Madali lang saakin makuha siya ulit.

He assured himself and planned to invite her out for a night again.
