Bridgette
After our small talk in the bedroom, we decided to go to the kitchen para magluto. She found some ingredients sa refrigerator and naisipan namin na gumawa nalang ng fried chicken because it's the only recipe she knows how to cook.
She washed the chicken while ako naman ang inutusan niya na maghanda ng cornstarch, bread crumbs, egg, and the other essentials para sa lulutuin.
I was busy mixing the starch and crumbs when the two other friend of hers come down to see what the chaos is.
“Ay! May pa cooking show pala ang ating lovers,” my cousin commented as she peek into what we're doing.
“Alam mo, Ynnah, ang tahimik ng mundo kapag wala ka,” says my girl as she drained the washed chicken.
“Syempre, kaya nga nandito ako para hindi kayo mabagot sa mga boring na buhay n'yo.”
I laughed at their banter and tinapunan naman si Sam ng ngiti habang nanonood sa amin.
“Hi, Sam! How are you?” I asked, making a small conversation.
I noticed kasi na sa kanilang tatlo, si Sam ang pinakatahimik. She rarely talk and madalas ay nakikinig lang ito.
“Ayos lang naman ako. Ikaw ba? Mahirap ba ikulong?”
I shrugged. “Yeah. I'm bored na sa bahay and I am going crazy na rin because of it.”
“Nakakalungkot naman at ganyan pa ang nangyare sa inyo. Sana lang maayos na ito.”
I nodded. “Kaya nga. Gusto ko lang naman maging mas understanding sila sa min ni Ella,” I said, stealing glimpse at Ella who's busy instructing her friend something. She's hot when she's bossy.
“Magiging maayos din ito. Tiwala lang.”
I smile and nodded. Ella instructed the two of us to get out of the kitchen as she and Ynnah cook the chicken. Hindi raw kasi si Sam marunong sa gawain sa kusina kaya mas mabuti na lumayo nalang ito.
We both settled at the living room.
“Alam mo? You and Ella paired so well. Ang mainitin na si Ella at ang sobrang bait na si Bridgette,” Sam commented as she settled in her chair.
“Guess that's how tadhana pair lovers.”
“Pero ingatan mo si Ella, ah? Alam namin na medyo mahirap siya intindihin pero mapagmahal 'yan.”
I smile and nodded. “Oo nga. She's a big baby and does this sweet things kahit nagsusungit pa siya.”
“Totoo. Naalala ko nga noon, may nagpakalat na may ginawa raw akong masama. I remember, nagalit 'yung babae dahil ang naging jowa niya ay naghahabol pa rin sa akin kahit hindi ko siya sinagot noon. Si Ella ang rumesbak, pero not in a mad woman way. Nilapitan niya ito at kinausap hanggang sa naabutan naming umiiyak na ang babae.”
Naalala ko ang tinutukoy ni Sam. Ito ang chismis na may sex video daw si Sam kasama ang guy at marami na raw ang nakapanood. In the end, it was a fake video from some site na agad din namang na-take down.
