11:47 PM
Rile is calling you...
You answered the call.
Elli: Hey, uh...
Elli: Thank you pala.. thanks for accompanying me the whole day.
Rile: You're welcome, Estelliana.
Rile: Clearing my sched for the whole day just for you was worth it anyways. I'll never regret being with you.
Elli: And thanks for the pick up lines, too. I really appreciate them. I mean they kinda made me feel better, you know
Rile: Huwag kang mag-alala, marami pa akong baong pick up lines para sa'yo
Elli: Ako rin, madami pang baong pick up lines sa bulsa ko *yawns*
Rile: *chuckles* You should probably go to bed now, Elli. I know you're tired. You need to rest. Minsan ka lang makapagpahinga
Elli: But I'm already tucked in bed now...
Rile: Then sleep. I won't end the call unless I hear you snore.
Elli: Excuse me?! Hindi kaya ako humihilik 'pag natutulog!
Elli: Pero sigurado akong humahalik ako sa katabi kong matulog.
Rile: At sino namang katabi mo? Sinong hahalikan mo?
Elli: My favorite stuffed toy
Rile: Ang swerte naman niya kung gano'n..
Elli: Huh?
Rile: Nothing. Uh, who gave it to you?
Elli: The stuffed toy? Oh, I bought it for myself
Rile: Oh, alright.
Rile: Matulog ka na. Nandito lang ako.
Elli: But I can't sleep..
Rile: You just yawned earlier.
Elli: Yeah. I'm sleepy but I can't sleep. Gets ba?
Rile: Hmm... okay, then. Kakantahan na lang kita hanggang sa makatulog ka.
Elli: *gasps* Oh my gosh! You sing?!
Rile: A little bit..
Rile: Can we facetime instead? I wanna see you.
Elli: O-Okay...
Voice call switched to Facetime.
Rile: *smiles when he sees Elli's sleepy face* Pretty.
Elli: Bolero! *pouts*
Rile: Pero hindi ako nagbibiro. You are really pretty, Estelliana. *smiles softly*
Elli: *blushes*
Rile: What song would you want me to sing for you?
Elli: Hmm... ikaw bahala.
Rile: Hmm.. alright. Give me a sec. I'll go get my guitar. *goes away from the camera to get his guitar*
Elli: Wow... so you play other instruments too other than drums?
Rile: *picks up his phone and sets it up so Elli could see him play guitar* Yep. Father taught me a lot of things when I was young. I wanted to learn everything he learned.
Elli: You're amazing.
Rile: *laughs* Maliit na bagay lang naman 'to.
Elli: Anong maliit na bagay?! This is something worth celebrating!
Rile: Whatever you say, Elli. *starts tuning his guitar*
Rile: *looks at the camera with a cheeky grin* I know you'll love this song. *starts strumming the strings of the guitar with his long fingers*
Elli: Oh my gosh?! I do! I do love this song!
Rile: *smirks as he starts to sing* You got holes in your jeans
And few in your heart
Elli: Your voice is so good...*yawns*
Rile: You don't know what it means to me
To watch you fall apart
Elli: Nakakaantok naman boses mo *pouts her lips*
Rile: *smiles as he softly gazes at Elli* 'Cause you're broken and bruised
But I can hold you through
I'll take you in my arms tonight
Just me and you
Baby, in a heart beat
I'll take you with me
I just wanna get to know you
You're throwing me off beat
So I can't breathe
I just wanna get to show you
If we're falling apart
I will fight for your heart
I can be your shield
I'll fight on the field
Baby, when life gets colder
I'll be your soldier
Na na na na na
I'll be your soldier
Na na na na na
Rile: *stops when he noticed Elli sleeping soundly* Damn, girl. Tinulugan ako.
Rile: *bites his lower lip to prevent himself from chuckling* Sweet dreams, beautiful. Happy birthday.
Call ended.
