"You'll still be beautiful."
"A TO MARS? A to Jupiter?"
"Sorry Em, I spaced out. What're we talking about?" She rolled her eyes. Rolling her eyes I think is her fave, she does that every time we talk.
"About Mom and Dad! They want us to visit them next week with our boys." I took a slice of pizza "Okay. Next week."
We're at our favorite restaurant waiting for our boys. They have a photoshoot but they said that they'll hurry. I'm with my sister Emmie, we're twins but we're not very much alike. Fraternal twins.
"Hi ladies." I heard Caiden's voice at my back. He rushed to Emmie to give her a hug but Emmie pushed his face away. Zeirre kissed me at my left cheeks. I scooted to the right to let Zeirre sit. "What took you guys so long?" I asked. "Traffic. Sorry." Zeirre answered.
8 years na kami ni Zeirre since 4th year highschool. And Caiden and Emmie naman is 6 years.
Nagtagal pa kami do'n at napagisipan ng sa bahay na lang muna kami, na ipinatayo para sa amin ni Emmie ni Mommy at Daddy, magstay. We watched action, horror and comedy movies―since the four of us doesn't like romance that much. The boys decided to go home at 7 pm. "Uwi ba talaga?" Emmie asked the both of them. "Babe, maga-Alvess nga kami eh." Sabi naman ni Caiden at napahawak sa batok. "Okay, 'wag kayong magpapakalasing dalawa. Be careful na lang and text me okay? I'll kill you if you don't." Then again, rolled her eyes. Zeirre looked at me and I nodded. He smiled and kissed me.
"Em, taas lang ako. I'll arrange my books and clothes lang."
"Okay. I'll call you when dinner is ready."
I FINISHED arranging my books and clothes na lang ang natitira. Emmie called me that dinner is ready. Bukas ko na lang aayusin ang mga damit ko. I'm lazy af
AFTER DINNER, naghugas na akong pinggan then again tumaas na, 'di ko pa natatapos ang librong binabasa ko kahapon lang. Hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog na pala ako. Naramdaman kong nagvibibrate ang phone ko kaya sinagot ko ito.
"Hello? He-hello? Abri? Aray tangina, Zeirre umayos ka pucha."
"Wh-What?! Wh-who's that? Wait, is that my girlfriend?! Dude that's mine! You already have yours!―Abri?! Oh goodness! Can you come over? Help me with this fatass, we're still in Alvess."
"Hi sweetheart, honey, love, babe, mommy, daddy― Oh for pete's sake Zeirre shut the f―" I didn't let Caiden finish his cussing and quickly hanged up. I went downstairs to see Emmie watching tv. The moment she noticed my presence, she looked at me with confusion in her eyes. "Lady Abrielle, where the hell are you going? It's 11 pm!"
"I'm. . . Going to pick up Zeirre in Alvess? I know you won't let me but you also know that I'm going there even with or without your permission, aight?" I crossed my arms
"What the―" She stood up and tied her hair to a bun. "Are the two of them drunk?" I didn't answer. "I'm really going to kill that guy."
"Seriously Emmie, if you're going with me, you need to hurry." And rolled my eyes. "Okay, I'm ready. Let's go."
Emmie opened the passenger's seat and I opened the driver's seat and started my car. When we arrived. We saw Caiden with Zeirre, drunk Zeirre, outside Alvess. Emmie rushed outside and gave Caiden a punch on his arms. "What was that for?!" Emmie didn't answer, crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "Hi my gem! I missed you so damn much!" Zeirre was about to hug me when I stepped backwards. He smells like alcohol, gaano ba karami nainom niya? "Nice, dude, is air your new bae?"
Tumulong na lang si Caiden sa paglagay kay Zeirre sa car ko, while Emmie said na magpapahatid na lang daw siya kay Caiden pauwi. Ang loka sabi pa para daw may time kami maglovey dovey. Papunta kami ngayon sa condo ni Zeirre. Buti na lang at may control pa naman siya sa paglalakad niya at konting alalay na lang ang tulong. Nakarating kami sa unit niya at inihiga na agad siya sa kama.
I was about to get out of his room when he called my name. "A? Love?" Nilingon ko siya at nakitang nakahawak sa sentido niya. "Yes? Do you need anything?" Iling lamang ang isinagot niya. "Water?" Tumango siya "I'll get you water." Nangingiti kong sabi. Papasok na sana ako ng shower room ng narinig kong nagcreak ang bed. "Love, Glass of water." Napa 'o' na lamang ang bibig ko. Sayang. Kumuha ako ng tubig at gamot na rin. Ininom naman niya ito.
He closed his eyes and I sat beside him. I'll never get tired of looking at his perfectly carved face. "Love, the room's moving."
"It's because you're drunk."
"No. It's because Caiden put something on my drink."
"Don't worry, Emmie will kill him." I laughed, my ever supportive sister. "'Wag, wala na akong kasama uminom!" He laughed.
"Love?"
"Yes?"
"Reserve your 'yes' when I propose to you." He chuckled.
"Baliw."
"Love?"
"Hmm?"
"Lay beside me." Sinunod ko ang gusto niya at humiga sa tabi niya.
"You're so perfect. I'm lucky that you're mine. 91225 Abri." He pinched both of my cheeks.
"Bolero talaga, umamin na kasing lasing ka."
"Yes, I'm drunk. And you're beautiful. And tomorrow morning, I'll be sober but you'll still be beautiful." He smiled.
8 years. Quite a long way. In those 8 years, we survived every challenges given to us. I remember when we were close to breaking up because of one of my barkadas, yes he knew my bestfriends and friends, and here's that one guy that he says is eye-ing on me and it turned out that that guy is one of my close friends! I said that I knew him and he wouldn't do that. Because of that, our fight lasted for two weeks. I told everything to my bestfriend and asked her if he's seriously eye-ing on me and she says that she caught him one time staring at me when we went out to go to the beach. I felt guilty and sorry because what Zeirre said is true.
He went to my house and said he's sorry and hugged me. I noticed his eyebags and messy hair. He said that he didn't get much sleep because of our fight and couldn't believe that it lasted for two weeks. I said my sorry and showered him with kisses just to make it up to him.
Girls and boys, learn to trust your partners. Not too much, you know what they say if you trust too much. It kills.
Whatever that will come our way, we'll learn to overcome it, together. Relationship doesn't and will not work out if only one makes a move. That's why it's called RELATIONship. From the word on it itself. And remember, only the serious, ready to face everything, ready to love, and ready to be hurt people gets into a relationship. I'm not that showy type of person, but God knows that I love deeply.
I'm a lady wishing for a happily ever after with my man.
I'm Abriella, signing off :)
