HONESTY

CHAPTER 06

ZACCHAEUS

WHEN he woke up he saw his Baby Z sleeping peacefully on him... On his abs to be exact.

Zacchaue slowly stood up and lift Zio then put her on his bed. She said she will not sleep but here she is sleeping like a queen on my bed. Zacchaeus chuckled at his own thought, My Queen. My Baby Z. Hinalikan niya ito sa noo bago pumasok sa bathroom para mag-toothbrush at maligo.

Magaan na naman ang pakiramdam niya pero medyo sinisipon pa siya. Thanks to his Baby Z who take care of him, if Zio was not on his penthouse then maybe he's still laying on the bed and having a heavy fever.

After that, he's planning to make a food for her but he don't know how. Ilang minuto siyang nagisip kung ano ang gagawin niyang breakfast. Pumasok sa isip niya ang paborito niyang pagkain, ang Chocolate Bagel.

I'll make a Bagel for you, my Baby Z!

On the kitchen, he started making the Chocolate Bagel. Zacchaeus first boiled for a short time in water and then he baked. The result was a dense, chewy, doughy interior with a browned and crisp exterior. Once he cool down he put them in the plate and Zacchaeus spread some chocolate cream.

Then when he's done he rambled on to his room again to wake Zio up.

ZIO

SHE was about to went to the bathroom to brush her teeth when she realized that she's not on her room. Zio was in Zacchaeus room, on his bed. Why am I on his bed?  Nasaan kaya ang lalaking 'yon?"

Sa sobrang kapaguran niya siguro ay nakatulog siya nang hindi namamalayan. And maybe Zacchaeus put him on his bed when he woke up. 

Aalis na sana siya sa kama nang biglang bumukas ang pinto at iniluwa 'non ang lalaking kasama niya buong magdamag.

"Hey, good morning Baby Z." Zacchaeus greeted her with a smile.

She gave him a small smile, "Morning. I'm going home."

Nakita niyang napakunot ito at nagbago ang ekspresyon ng muka. "No."

Siya naman ay kunot noo din tinignan ito. "I'm going home. Who are you to say no?" Naglakad siya papuntang pintuan pero bigla siya nitong hinarangan.

Zacchaeus smirked, "Let's eat first then I'll let you go home. "

"No need, I'll eat outside."

"Please, Baby Z. Just this one. Promise." Pagmamakaawa ni Zacchaeus sa kaniya.

Sinuri niya ang mga mata nito bago tumango, "Okay."

ZACCHAEUS

"GO on take advantages at my kindness today because tomorrow... I'll be very mad at you. Baka nakakalimutan mong may kasalanan ka pa sa akin."

Tama nga ito dahil pagkagising na pagkagising nito ay masama na kaagad ang umaga.

Akmang kukuha siya ng Bagel nang bigla nitong tinampal ang kamay niya.

Nakataray itong tumingin sa kaniya, "Bakit ka nakuha? Diba sabi mo para sa akin ito."

"I baked it..." Zacchaeus pouted.

"But it's for me, so no." Aniya Zio habang piangpatuloy ang pagkain.

Nanaig ang katahimikan sa kanilang dalawa. Pinapanood niya lang si Zio na kumakain.

Hindi pa ba siya nakaka-move on sa halik na iyon?

After taking care of him he's now back to the Zio whose annoyed at him.
