"Go tito bottoms up" Sandro said as he passed a whiskey to Greggy "Wag ka mag-alala tito, wala dito si tita at Celestine kaya kaming mga boys ang bahala sayo" Matt added and Greggy smiled as he smell the whiskey "parang ang tapang nito ah" Greggy said to them "sus ngayon ka pa nagreklamo" Rodrigo said
"Ehem, kung ano man yang binabalak mo, wag mo ng ituloy kung hindi sa salas ka matutulog" they heard Irene behind their backs, Greggy immediately give the glass to Rodrigo "Hon, bakit ka nandito" Greggy asked Irene as she sat next to Greggy "ask Cid, siya yung nag papunta sa amin ng anak mo" Irene said as she took the cup from Rodrigo
Irene smell the alcohol as she took a taste "paano nyo naiinom to, mapait siya na maalat na spicy din" Irene said as she cough and Greggy laughed at her while rubbing her back "kasi naman hon, mali yung pag-inom mo ganito oh" Greggy drunk the whole cup and everyone cheered "Wow" Celestine said in disbelief as she sat next to Marco "hey it's been awhile wasn't it" Marco said to Celestine
"I believe so, ikaw kamusta ka na, kayo ni Sam" Celestine awkwardly asked him "walang kami ni Sam, tita Camilla arranged her with the Ayala heir, actually Sam is my third cousin" Marco answered while drinking his whiskey "here Tin bottoms up" Marco gave Celestine a cup
"Come on. To all our good times together. Cheers." Celestine said as she raised her glass up, prompting the others to do the same.
"Cheers." The others chorused, doing as we she did and they all drank in sync. Irene's face scrunched due to the taste while Celestine is satisfied by the taste. "I think we were able to settle the matter today, right?" Greggy asked everyone.
"I hope so. But, Santiago isn't home yet. I'm not sure where he went after the camp." Sandro pointed out. "He'll be fine. Santiago used to go somewhere after every vacation we have." Ellie reassured. "I know my nephew very well. He's a self-centered, childish person. It's my fault. I didn't discipline him well. It's a miracle my baby Celestine turned out the way she is today. Anyways, don't mind him. Let's enjoy the food together." Greggy invited them all to start eating.
"I can't eat too much. I have a photoshoot coming soon." Borgy complained as he looked at all the yummy food. "Daddy, we're not pigs. We can't finish all of this." Celestine backer her cousin up. Greggy hit his daughter lightly and kicked Matthew's legs
"You eat too little. That's why you're so tall and skinny. It's abnormal. And you, My daughter, I don't care if they tell you to diet more and if they call you fat. I will not have my daughter be a walking stick." Greggy lectured.
"They're all grown up. They're not childish anymore. That's a cause for celebration. Come on. Cheers." Irene raised her glass again and everyone followed and drank. "Hon, every time you have a few drinks, you become wild and carefree." Greggy flirted. And all of them squealed "Nako baka masundan si Ferdie niyan" Imee said to them
"I can't believe that the kids who wore open-crotch pants and wet their beds have now reached the age when they're matured already. That's really amazing." Irene simply replied. "The famous Marcos cousins wore open-crotch pants and even wet their beds. I really can't imagine it." Ellie said with a laugh.
"Shut up." Vinny told her as Celestine hit her in the shoulder. "Hey, we were all kids at one point." Sandro pointed out, "tita, that's ancient history. Let's not mention that." Simon politely told her.
"Why does it matter? My baby's right. We've all been there." Imee told them and Irene hugged Celestine from the back "baby ko kaya to" Irene said as she kissed Celestine's cheeks "Where's my kisses mahal ko" Greggy said as he pouted, Irene walked towards Greggy and sat on his lap
Greggy kissed Irene neck before drinking his whiskey "lumugar kayo please lang, two children is enough three is too much" Celestine said as Imee covered her eyes while the others are cheering
"Furthermore, Simon and Vinny would bite each other's toes when they were young. They were drooling while biting each other. They kept clamoring for their pacifiers. And Matthew. When he was young, he stuck his head in the toilet when he washed his hair. It got stuck there and we couldn't get it out." Imee exposed as she laughed.
"Mom, that's enough. Why do you have to remember those things?" Matt asked her, "I didn't mention the time you guys wore my—" Imee started but was cut off when Sandro offered another toast.
"But seriously, among all of you I watched growing up, my baby Celestine was the only one who didn't give me much trouble. Aside from the time I caught her looking at an adult magazine someone stupidly left behind. And that time when—" Imee started again but this time, Celestine cut her off.
"Mama..." She whined, embarrassed.
"Wait. I want to hear about how Celestine was during her childhood." Cassy requested and they all looked at Irene, "Well, she was a quiet kid. She mostly observed her cousin and his friends. There was a time we thought she was autistic but turns out that's just the way she is, with her IQ and all. She started learning things at a quick rate and that's how we found out she was a genius." Imee narrated. Celestine happily smiled as she remembered her childhood. It felt good to talk about these things with important people. Too bad that Santiago couldn't be there with them.
"But that doesn't mean, that our perfect Celestine doesn't have a mischievous attitude when she was young" Greggy said and all of them smirked "alam nyo si tin nung bata siya, she loves bioscience, one time nasa france kami and doon sa fountain doon sa manor namin merong dead frog, she used her bare hand para kunin yung frog, she used a swiss knife para lang mabuksan yung katawan ng frog, and alam nyo nangyari, pinahid ni Celestine yung frog doon sa bagong bili ni Irene na curtain, doon niya pinunas" Greggy said to them and Celestine bowed in embarrassment
"Tapos nung nalaman ni Irene, she hides doon sa closet namin, isipin nyo habang kami naghahanap sa kanya, alam nyo ginagawa niya" Greggy said and Irene laughed "before she hides on our closet nakita namin yung banyo namin punong puno ng Nutella yung bathtub tapos yung buong katawan niya covered sa chocolates" Irene said while laughing "but instead scolding her, nako si Greggy pinagtawanan at binuhusan pa siya ng Nutell-ahh" Irene suddenly moaned as she covered her mouth
"Mommy are you ok" Celestine asked Irene worriedly "y-yes anak continue what you guys doing d-dont mind me-ah" Irene once again moaned when she felt Greggy's fingers in her inner thigh "oh ok?" Celestine unsurely said as she glance at Greggy who is smirking evilly while holding Irene's waist
"Let's leave and continue this at somewhere private" Greggy whispered as he pulled Irene towards his car, not caring about the calls, once they entered the car, Greggy kissed Irene passionately while removing her shirt "patience my love wag kang atat" Irene said while kissing him in the neck
To be continue
