I woke up alone on Silas' bed, his side was already cold which means that he has been up for a while now. I slowly climbed out of bed at nag-stretch. I felt a little sore from what we did last night.Naglakad ako palabas ng kwarto patungo sa kusina kung asan ko naririnig ang ingay. Naabutan ko si Silas sa stove kaya lumapit ako sa kanya at inakal siya.
"Good Morning," I kissed his back softly.
Narinig ko siyang pinatay ang stove bago humarap sa akin, "Good Morning, you look extra lioness today." Silas kissed me on the lips. He has been calling me a lioness ever since he first saw me with my natural hair.
Since I didn't bother taming my hair before leaving the bedroom ay buhaghag siya ngayon. My hair's been frizzy because of all the heat damage in it.
"I made breakfast," Tinuro niya ang dining table niya kung saan meron stacks ng pancake at bacon. Carbs, I groaned inwardly.
"No fruits?" Tanong ko sa kanya.
Umiling si Silas sa akin, "Just this once please. Ginawa ko yan para sayo," He even acted to gain my sympathy.
I breathed out pero kumuha din ako sa pancake at bacon, I guess I just have to work it all out later. He looked satisfied when I finally took a bite from the pancake.
"Kamusta pala yung contract signing mo kahapon? Di ko kasi natanong kagabi," I paused eating as I wait for his answer.
"Paano mo naman matatanong eh busy ang bunganga mo kagabi?" Ngumisi siya sa akin habang sumusubo ng pancakes.
"Shut up," Defensa ko sa kanya, "Ano nga? How was your contract?" Hinati ko sa malilit ang pancakes na nasa harap ko at pinatungan ng maple syrup habang naghihintay sa sagot niya.
"It went well, finalize na lang nila yung script at ayusin lahat ng kailangan namin tapos aalis na siguro kami by next month," Sagot ni Silas sa akin. Napasimangot ako sa sinabi niya, napabilis ata ang process dahil ang huling alam ko ay next year pa ang simula ng production nila.
Silas gently dropped his untensils on the place and enveloped my hands with his, "Don't worry, Pangako ko na nandun ako sa araw ng pageant mo. Off limits na ang araw na yun, it's already reserved for my special queen."
"Promise?"
"Promise," He kissed the back of my hand, "I'll be your loudest supporter, gaano kalaki ang tarp na gusto mo? I'll be cheering you on every every stage that you will walk on."
Naisipan ko siyang asarin, "So papayag ka na sa offer sa akin na nude modeling?"
Tumaas ang kilay niya sa akin, "Hindi naman kita pinipigilan ah, alam ko naman na it's just work for you. You can do whatever you want and I will support you."
"Alam mo naman yun eh, linoloko lang namna kita kanina. I don't think I can handle nude modeling yet maybe 5 years from now okay na sa akin." I took a bite from the pancake. "Anong oras na pala?"
"9:37, bakit?" Lumaki ang mata ko at agad na tumayo sa pagkakaupo ko.
Napatayo din si Silas nang nakita niya ang mukha ko, "Fuck, patay nanaman ako kay Syd nito." Dumaan ako sa sala para kunin ang hoodie na nakakalat pa din dun. I didn't even bother wearing the leggings that I came with.
"Anong nangyayari Gio? Bakit nagmamadali ka?" Sumunod si Silas sa akin sa sala. I wore the hoodie on top of the teddy that I was wearing, mahaba naman yun kaya natatakpan niya ang suot ko na maikis sa loob.
"May lunch meeting ako ngayon, kaya ang usapan namin ni Syd ay 9 siya pupunta sa unit ko," Nawala sa isip ko ang pinagusapan namin. Buti na lang talaga ay nagtanong ako ng oras kanina.
