Aidan's PoV
"I'm so tired!!!" Vida exclaimed. "Ako din 'no! I carried you from the cemetary to here!" I said. "Sabi ko kasi sa'yo wag na eh! Ang tigas din ng ulo mo eh." sinabi niya at tinuro sa ulo ko at tinulak. "Edi ako na may kasalanan..." I said not wanting to start a fight. "Talaga!" sabi niya na may pag-kataray. "Alam mo ikaw-" I said with frustration.
"Pasalamat ka, babae ka. Kundi nasuntok na kita." It looks like nagulat siya sa sinabi ko. "Weh? 'Di nga? Akala ko ba lab mo ko?" she said with puppy eyes. She knows that I can't resist her puppy eyes! Aish! "Fine, you win! Again!" I exclaimed. Well, I can't blame her for her victory though. Because just like what they said, 'A real guys will give everything up for his girl.' I won't call her 'my girl' because we're not together.
"I'll get going already." I was starting to go for the door, when she grabbed my wrist. "Don't go yet!!! Stay with me, first. Leave when I'm asleep. I miss your cuddles!!!" she said and did the grabby hands, like a baby, 'my baby'. I sighed and went to her. I carried her to her room and laid her down. To my surprise, nakatulog siya agad after laying her down. Fck! My arms hurt, she's heavy! Well, not really... Sakto lang.... "Stay...." Vida said in a whisper.
"I'd love to, but you know dad. I can't, Vida." with that said I left for the door. She must've been that tired from awhile ago. It was a good thing that we handled it, what I meant by 'we' is the four of us. Mariana, Chantal, Vida, and me. Hope she won't get mad at me tomorrow for leaving her.
~next day~
*ring ring ring*
I turned off my alarm and yawn. I fixed my bed and went down to the kitchen. "Morning." Wait, this isn't dad, neither mom. The only person who has a spare key to this house is...... Vida, "What are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be cooking for Uno and Snow?" she looked at me. "Uno said he'll manage. So stop complaining." she has a point though.
"Oh, Vida, you're here!" I looked at the person who said that and it was dad. "Tito, of course, I'll be here. I know that you three like my food, and since you haven't had it in like almost half a year, I'm cooking it." Dad looked at me, and mouthed the words 'Keep her'. "Ate Vida!!!" That's Adam, my brother. "Hi, baby!" you know I'm kinda jealous of Snow and Adam, because she calls them 'baby' while me, just my name. Pero alam ko naman na wala kaming label.
"Look at your kuya oh, nakatulala nanaman sa ere." sabi ni Vida. "By the way tapos na po ako magluto, I'll get going na." tuloy niya. Papatungo na siya sa pintuan nang nag-salita si dad, "You'll leave already? Have you even eaten yet?" Bakit parang mas nag-aalala si dad kesa ako, 'di ba dapat baliktad? "No thank you tito, I ate na sa bahay. Enjoy eating po!" she bowed and went for the door again.
"Sabay na kaya kayo ni kuya pumunta sa school." sabi ni Adam. "Sure, I guess..." she said and sat on the sofa and pulled out her phone. Wait... YUN YUNG BINIGAY KO SA KANYA FOR HER BIRTHDAY!!! Maayos pa siya tignan, syempre si Vida pa ba? "Ate, isn't that what kuya gave to you on your sweet 16?" he knew?! How did he know?
"Yeah, though I bought another one, it's still not as special as this phone." she said. Siniko ako ni dad, "Galawan mo ha." he said loud enough for me to hear. Binilisan ko kumain bago may ma-expose nanaman sa mga sinabi ko sa kanila. "Ligo lang ako." I said as I finished eating.
Vida's PoV
"Good morning!!! Rise and shine!!!" sabi ko at in-off ang aircon ni Uno at binuksan yung kurtina. "Gising na, may pasok ka pa. Pag di ka bumangon wala ka'ng almusal." sinabi ko yun dahil alam ko na mahilig siya kumain. "Dali na, bangon na. Gigisingin ko pa si Snow." sabi ko at bumangon na siya.
Pumunta akosa kwarto ni Snow. Pagpasok ko sa loob ng kwarto niya naka-ayos na higaan niya."Baby? Asan ka?" Hinahanap ko siya nang may lumabas sa CR ng kwarto niya. "Aga mo ngayon, ha?" Pag-puri ko sa kanya. "Syempre, i-pagluluto mo pa sila kuya Aidan, right?" Sht! I forgot about that! "Ah, oo nga pala. Nakalimutan ko. Thanks sa pag-papaalala."
Nagluluto na si Uno ng breakfast nilang dalawa ni Snow. Pero kumain ako ng toasted bread lang. Muntik ko pang makalimutan susi ng bahay nila.

Dahan-dahan kong binuksan yung pintuan ng bahay nila. Pagka-sarado ko, dumiretso agad ako sa kusina nila. Bacon and eggs with cheese, their fave. Nagsimula ako nag-luto nang may narinig akong footsteps. "Morning." I greeted. "What are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be cooking for Uno and Snow?" he asked. I looked at him and said, "Uno said he'll manage. So stop complaining." Then started to do my work again.
I was doing my work when suddenly I heard tito. "Oh, Vida, you're here." 'di ba halata? Kidding! "Tito, of course I'll be here. I know that you three like my food,and since you haven't had it in almost half a year, I'm cooking it." I simply said.
I continued doing my work, when a little one decided to make me stop for a while. "Ate Vida!!!" Omg! I missed him so much!!! "Hi, baby!" Pake mo ba, I wan't to call him baby. I looked at Aidan and nakita ko na nakatulala siya, so I said, "Look at your kuya oh, nakatulala nanaman sa ere."
After a while, natapos na ako sa pagluluto ng breakfast nila. "By the way, tapos na po ako mag-luto, I'll get going na." I said and started leaving for the door. "You'll leave already? Have you even eaten yet?" Did I mention that tito was as protective as Aidan? No? Well, now you know. Like father, like son, I guess.
"No thank you tito, I ate na sa bahay. Enjoy eating po!" I bowed and tumungo sa pintuan. "Sabay na kaya kayo ni kuya pumunta sa school?" Sinuggest ni Adam. Well, gusto ko pero....
"Sure I guess..." I mean wala namang masama dun right? Naglakad ako papunta sa sofa, at nilabas yung phone na rinegalo sakin ni Aidan nung sweet 16 ko. "Ate isn't that what kuya gave you for your sweet 16?" So, um..... Since when did he know about that?
"Yeah, though I bought another one, it's still not as special as this phone." Tinignan ko si Aidan, nagmamadali siyang kumain. After niya kumain, sinabi niya agad na maliligo na daw siya.
