Marry you

My forehead creased when I heard a ringtone or whatever! I hit his back to wake him up. He immediately sat up and reached for his phone. Nawala na ata antok ko!

"Good morning. I'll just email the details. Oh okay, thank you." He ended the call and looked at me. "Hey, good morning."

"Gago. Nagising lang naman ako dahil sa phone mo!" I glared at him, making him laugh.

"Take a shower na, una ka na."

"Ethan naman, p'wede bang patulugin mo muna ako? Everything is fucking spinning! Hindi na talaga ako iinom ulit!" Inayos ko ang kumot ko at pumikit na ulit.

"Wow, pang-ilan na ba 'yan? Lagi ko 'yang naririnig sa 'yo pero hindi mo naman ginagawa. Stand up, Zelena, before I fuck you." Napabangon agad ako dahil sa huling sinabi niya. Tumatawa siyang tumayo at umilag nang batuhin ko siya ng unan.

"You and your mouth! You shouldn't fuck your friend, FYI!"

"Well, I can fuck a friend." Kumindat siya bago lumabas ng k'warto. Bastos talaga!

Pagkalabas ko sa shower, nakaupo na siya sa gilid ng kama, naghihintay. Nakaisip ako ng kagagahan nang lumingon siya sa akin. Lumapit ako sa kaniya at umupo sa mga hita niya, paharap sa kaniya.

"The fuck, dude? Magbihis ka muna-"

"Naka-panty ako!" Naka-panty talaga ako. I held his nape and kissed the side of his lips. He pushed me lightly and chuckled. "Let's have sex. Limang taon na akong walang dilig."

"It's not working.. Seduce me more. Hina mo naman." Mas lalo tuloy akong naging competitive dahil sa pang-aasar niya. This time, I kissed him for real! He tried to stop me but I pushed him on the bed. "I'm not doing this with you. You are my friend-"

"No sexual intercourse, just kissing. Deal? C'mon! Nagpa-practice ako para sa upcoming movie ko! May sex scene pa naman do'n. Parang gusto ko nalang mag-back out! What if mabaho hininga nung leading man ko?" Tinawanan tuloy ako ni Ethan dahil do'n. Pero hindi naman kasi malabong mangyari 'yon!

Nakaupo pa rin ako sa mga hita niya habang nakahiga siya sa kama. Umupo siya bigla at humawak sa beywang ko. Nagulat nalang ako nang halikan niya ako sa gilid ng labi ko. Asan na 'yung tapang ko kanina?!

I didn't even move! He chuckled and then bit his lip. He rolled his eyes playfully and placed me on the bed. After Xhaiven, wala na akong nakasamang ibang guy. Si Ethan lang dahil ang kulit niya!

"Are we g-gonna do that.. thing?" I asked nervously.

"You're nervous," he laughed at me. "Not gonna happen, babe. Sabi ko naman sa 'yo, we're friends. I cannot do it with you. Unless..." He smirked.

"Unless wala na talagang pumatol sa 'yo," natatawang dugtong ko. Tumawa rin naman siya at nagkibit-balikat.

Umalis na siya sa kama at pumasok sa bathroom. God, he kissed me! Tumayo na rin ako at nagbihis. Mala-late na ako sa taping! Inayos ko na rin ang mga gamit ko.

Bigla naman nag-text si Tyrell na isama ko raw si Jazean dahil umuwi mga kasambahay niya at may taping siya ngayon! E, may taping din ako! But I had no choice. Kasama ko naman si Ethan at on leave siya ngayon.

Pagkalabas ni Ethan sa bathroom ay sinabihan ko siyang susunduin namin si Jazean at isasama namin. Natuwa naman agad siya. He knew about Jazean. And he was also aware that Jazean is the daughter of Yazielle.

"Dude, may feelings ka pa ata sa bestie ko," pang-aasar ko sa kaniya habang nagmamaneho siya.

"Wala na.. It was a one-night stand. I admired her for a long time because she was a strong woman. Bro, she's my type. But I'm not gonna pursue her." He shrugged off and smiled.

Binuhat ko si Jazean at nagpaalam na kay Tyrell. Nagpaalam din si Jazean kay Ty. Napamahal na talaga siya kay Ty..

Habang nasa byahe kami ay kinulit-kulit ko si Jazean! Ang cute niya kaya! Siguro kung nabuhay 'yung anak ko, magkalaro sila ngayon ni Jazean..

"Where's mommy?" I asked, talking about Yazi.

"She's with a new tito. The new tito was nice! He gives mommy flowers everyday." Jazean was smiling while telling me that.

"What's the name of the new tito, baby?" She looked up and held her chin. She was really really cute!

"Tito Markus, tita. Hello po!" She suddenly greeted Ethan. Markus? Yazielle's ex-boyfriend?!

"Hi, pretty," Ethan greeted back.

Habang nasa taping ako ay nasa gilid 'yung dalawa. Mukhang hindi naman nahirapan si Ethan kay Jazean. Hindi naman kasi pasaway si Jazean. Siguro ay nasanay lang siya kay Tyrell. Hindi kasi mahilig si Ty na makipaglaro sa bata.

After 2 hours, nag-break time muna kami. Pumunta ako sa side nila Ethan. Naglalaro sila ni Jazean. Ethan is already 29, bakit kaya hindi pa siya mag-asawa? He can make a woman fall in love with him in just a day..

"Are you done na?" he asked me. I shook my head and smiled. "Break time?"

"Yeah.. Wait, I'll just tell my assistant to buy us food-"

"No, ako nalang. What do you want to eat?" I told him what I wanted to eat. After that, umalis siya kasama si Jazean. Mukha na silang mag-ama.

When they came back, we ate together. I took a picture of them together, while they were eating. I posted it on my insta. It wasn't new anymore. Lagi naman kaming nakikita ni Ethan na magkasama. During interviews sinasabi ko na friends lang talaga kami.

My fans started commenting on my post. Some of them would ask me about Jazean, and some would ask about Ethan. Wala naman akong nire-replyan. Not that I don't want to, but because my management told me to avoid replying to my fans.

"I'm tired na," nakangusong reklamo ko kay Ethan. He chuckled and reached for my hand. I stood up and sat on his lap. "Hindi pa 'ko niyan doctor! Pano kapag doctor na ako? Konti nalang, madadagdagan na reklamo ko. Oh right, specialization pa pala."

"Kapag doctor ka na, I'll hire you." Natawa ako sa sabi niya. Parang sigurado na siyang magiging doctor ako.

"Ahh, bakit naman? Ayaw mo bang asawa mo nalang? Bukod sa pagiging doctor, I want to be a housewife." Titig na titig siya sa akin habang dumadaldal ako.

"I'll marry you then."
