twenty-two: a date

I WOKE UP AGAIN. Hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog ulit ako kanina. I just saw Yzriel next to me again, hugging me.

Mahina kong tinapik ang kamay niya na nakapulupot sa bewang ko para gisingin siya dahil may nagdo-doorbell. I'm not wearing anything other than his shirt I picked earlier. Kinusot niya ang mata niya bago tumayo. I also stood up and went inside the bathroom to wash my face. I looked for some clean underwears that we bought and wore his shirt again and went out.

"Who was it?" I asked after coming out of the bathroom. I saw him fixing the food on the table, nakakalat pa rin ang mga cans ng beers at mga chips na ininom namin kagabi.

"Hotel service lang, kain na tayo." I nodded before sitting down the sofa next to him and stared eating. Tahimik lang kami habang kumakain. Dahil hindi kami nag uusap, mabilis kaming natapos sa pagkain. He fixed our plates as I fix the mess we made last night.

I sat down after putting every trash in the plastic bag. I threw my head back when Yzriel placed his hands on both sides of my seat, near to my shoulders. He lowered his head to keep our eye contact. He smiled before kissing my lips, just a peck.

Namula ako agad kaya umayos ako ng upo at tumingin sa harap. I heard him chuckle behind me before I heard the bathroom's door close. Nakahinga ako nang malalim dahil doon bago lumingon sa pinto ng CR kung doon talaga siya pumasok.

Napapitlag  ako dahil tumunog ang phone ko mula sa kama. I stood up and went to the bed and answered the phone.

[DIYOS KO, MADAM! KAMUSTA KA NA PO?] Maingay ang background ni Chelsea kaya nagtaka ako.

"I'm fine, what's happening? Why is your background so noisy?" Nakikipagsagutan pa siya kaya hindi agad siya nakatugon sa'kin.

[Sorry, madam! Putangina sandali lang kasi! Wala nga dito si madam!] Lumayo siya kaya medyo humina ang ingay sa background niya.

"What's happening?" I asked again.

[Ang daming reporters dito, madam. Hinahanap ka at 'yung asawa mo, madam- HALA MADAM I SWEAR WALA AKONG PINAGSABIHAN.] I sighed. I expected this to happen but not in front of my fucking company.

"I'm sorry for the trouble, Chelsea. And a bigger thing happened that's why they knew about me and my husband. Anyway, I'm on vacation." I know it's not a good time to be having fun when there are so many paparazzi in front of my company.

[Ay hala, sorry madam at inabala kita sa bakasyon mo. Ako na po bahala, madam. Parang wala naman pong ganito noon.] I smiled.

"You're my angel, Chelsea. I promise to give you something after our vacation." Umingay nanaman ang background niya.

[Sus, madam. 'Wag na po, ingat po kayo ng kasama mo, madam. Keri ko na po 'to, enjoy po kayo!] Binaba ko na ang tawag, saktong lumabas si Yzriel sa CR.

"Sino 'yon?" He asked. I shrugged before dropping my phone on the bed.

"Chelsea." He slowly nodded before drying his hair with a towel. Tumayo na din ako at nagtungo sa CR para maligo. I feel different when I don't take a shower for a day. I wore a shirt and dolphin shorts we bought yesterday before going out of the bathroom.

"Gusto mo lumabas?" Bungad niya pagkalabas ko. He's on his phone but still looked at me to say those words.

"Sure," Wala naman kaming gagawin dito, and I already told Chelsea I'm on vacation so might as well spend time with him. Bumalik ako sa CR at nagpalit ulit. I wore a white summer dress and my white heels from my wedding outfit.
