Nagising ako sa ingay na nanggagaling sa aking telepono. I checked the time which says that it's already noon, then I read the caller's ID before answering. Napabaling ako sa katabi ko pero nakita kong wala pala siya kaya sinagot ko na kaagad ang tumatawag sa'kin. Baka nasa kusina.

"Yna?" I yawned. [Are you free?]

"Hindi ako sure, bakit?"

[Pupunta kasi kaming apat sa KTV malapit sa SM, sama ka?]

I slowly got up and I completely felt the soreness of my body, making me wince. "Mukhang hindi ako pwede." I muttered.

[Bukas?]

Bumaling ako sa pintuan at napaisip; wala naman akong gagawin bukas and I'll make this day as my rest day. I sat properly again and answered, "Yes, sure. What time?"

[Hapon rin.]

"Okay, enjoy kayo!" I giggled, "Huwag kayong magpalasing ng masyado."

[Yes, hot momma.] I shake my head before saying my farewell and ended the call.

Napatitig ako sa binti kong may mga printa ng kamay ni Clive kagabi. Remembering all that happened, I can't help but feel giddy like a teenage girl. Mabuti nalang hindi nasundan ng ilan pang rounds kasi baka hindi ako makapunta sa KTV bukas. I'm wearing a white t-shirt na pagmamay-ari siguro ni Clive kaya pinabayaan ko na lang at sinubukang tumayo. Unfortunately, the pain traveled from my legs to my hips and I don't think that I will be able to bare that, so I sat down again.

Right after I settled myself back in bed, the door opened and Clive walked inside carrying a breakfast tray. My heart leaped in joy after seeing the three waffles in the tray with coffee.

"I figured you'll be famished once you wake up," He smiled, sitting on the edge of the bed. I hummed and took the tray from him. After that, the aroma of the breakfast that I will have surged through my nose and the smell of the coffee caused me to feel the overwhelming nausea.

I stilled, remembering that coffee is not good for a pregnant woman and to top it all off; sadly, my favorite drink will be avoided for a while. I almost wanted to puke but seeing that Clive is still here, I could only smile at him stiffly, barely covering my lies with it.

"Hon, milk lang sana." I requested.

His eyes narrowed, "Why? You love coffee."

I nervously chuckled, my head starting to feel the pain because of the continuing aroma that I once found salivating. "I'm trying to control my caffeine intake."

"Okay..." He acknowledged and stood up, exiting the room after kissing the top of my nose, bringing the cup of hot coffee with him. I giggled at him and right after he closed the door, I almost flew - as if I didn't feel the pain from my legs - towards the bathroom and emptied my empty stomach - if that makes sense.

I cleaned after myself, making sure that I did not leave any evidence around like I actually murdered someone in his house. I hastily went back into my old position and started eating the waffles as he opens the door, a glass of milk with him.

"Do you like it?" He mused, seeing me munching on it with big slices. I nodded and grin at him after receiving the glass of milk and drinking it in a few gulps leaving the remaining white liquid that is left for later.

I swallowed another slice and seriously stared at him, "Pupunta ako bukas sa KTV malapit sa SM with the girls."

"Sure, make sure to have fun." He nodded, getting rid of a crumb from the corner of my lips. "I'll bring you there tomorrow?" He suggested.
