I groaned as I dropped off my body against the soft mattress of the bed. I held my phone tightly using my right hand, still laying down. I inhaled sharply as I fixed my eyes over the ceiling, waiting for Windsor's reply.

Gaya ng plano, susunduin niya ako nang hapon sa bahay atsaka kami ba-byahe patungo sa Tagaytay, at dahil higit dalawang oras lang iyon, sakto na ang oras ng byahe at pananatili namin doon nang kinalkula namin nang magkausap kami kagabi.

Windsor:

I'm so excited (｡’▽’｡)♡

My brow creased as I stared at the emoticons that he used, wondering how the hell did he did it.

Ako:

See you.

Windsor:

Ang bilis mo nga mag reply, ang tipid mo naman mag text.

I grunted. "Ang daming reklamo nito.."

Later on, he texted again to inform me that he's already outside. Palalabas na ako ng bahay nang maalala ang nakaraan na pinag usapan namin ni Arianne. Good thing, she's wasn't at home right now, even Auntie wasn't around, maybe they went somewhere.

I closed the gates and turned to face where Windsor was standing. Sa likod niya ay ang isang itim na sasakyan. He smiled automatically and offered his hand for a help. Umiling ako at ipinakita sa kanya ang dalang belt bag.

"I didn't brought any other stuff.."

Windsor rolled his eyes. "I know, kitang kita ko nga na 'yan lang ang dala mo."

"Then why are you still offering a hand? Ano, handshake ba gusto mo?"

"Huh?" he said incredulously.

Umungol siya at ginulo-gulo ang kanina'y maayos na buhok habang may ibinubulong, iritado pa nang pagbuksan ako ng pintuan sa front seat.

"Are you okay?" natatawang tanong ko.

Sa halip na sagutin ako, umirap siya at marahang isinarado ang pintuan sa tabi ko. Ngumisi ako habang pinanonood siyang tumakbo papaikot upang siya naman ang makasakay ng sasakyan niya.

I watched how he started the engine and swiftly maneuvered the car. Iniwan niyang ginagamit na pang maneho ang kaliwang kamay, habang ang kana'y naman ay kasalukuyang may inaabot na paper bags sa likuran. Worried that he might suddenly harm us, I insisted to get what he's reaching from the back seat.

"I bought a lot of foods, I cooked some too. You can eat first, baka magutom ka sa daan.."

I smiled gratefully. "Thanks, bait mo talaga.."

"Sa'yo lang."

"Banat ba 'yan?" I teased him while searching for some snacks inside the paper bag.

Windsor didn't respond. Ipinagkibit balikat ko na lamang iyon at itinuon ang atensyon sa kinakain na chips.

"Do you want some?" I asked and showed him the chips.

He nodded and opened his mouth, still fixing his attention to the road. Bumangon ako sa pagka kasandal upang masubuan siya.

"Drinks too, please.."

Umirap ako at nag simulang hanapin ang drinks na dala rin niya. There's a cola and iced tea bottle. "What drinks do you want?

"Cola."

I opened the bottle for him. Nakita ko ang isang balot na straw doon at iyon ang ginamit upang maka-inom siya nang maayos.
