Imee Marcos' POV

We stayed overnight at Pagudpud, we'll be staying here for the day - just to take a breather and bond with family before the grand celebration. We'll then head back to Batac after dinner.

Nagising ako 30 minutes before six, I then just made my own coffee and decided to sit on the sofa on the patio, so I can enjoy my coffee with the ocean, kasi lahat ng tao dito tulog or sabog pa from last night. Who wouldn't, they had drinks until 1-2 a.m.??

Suddenly Rodrigo came out of the house - yes dito din siya natulog.

"Good morning.." he greets.

"Ang aga mo yata nagising?" I ask.

"Ang sakit ng ulo ko!" he complained.

"Yan kase, inom pa, Rodrigo!"

"Sorry, sila Bongbong kasi.." he said.

"Sila Bongbong kasi.." I mockingly repeat.

"How many bottles did you guys drink last night?"

"Two.." he replied, I raised my eyebrow, knowing very well na hindi lang dalawang bote natapos nila kagabi.

"Six.." he said, and bowed his head.

"Yan napapala mo!" I raised my voice at hinampas siya.

"Agang-aga, nanghahampas ka na naman.." he said as he laid his head on my lap.

"Ginagawa mo?" I ask and raised my eyebrows.

"Matutulog ulit.." he replied. T*ngina toh.

"Tumayo ka, Rodrigo. Tayo!! Wag mo akong gawing unan.." I complained.

"Fine, dito nalang.." he said, sat down and leaned his head to my shoulder.

Magre-reklamo na sana ako pero naalala ko na dapat pala akong bumili ng pagkain na maluluto mamaya, pero tinatamad ako magdrive.

"Okay.." I said and leaned my head to his.

Bigla niya lang tinaas ulo niya at tumingin saakin, at tiningnan ako na parang may malaking kasalanan.

"Bilis mag-iba ang mood ah?" he asked.

"Ayaw mo? Edi wag." I replied, at nagtatampuhan. Lol.

"May kailangan ka?" he asked and inakbayan ako.

"Wala.." I coldly replied.

"Come on na.." he said.

"Pa-drive Rod.." I replied and smiled.

"Sabi ko na nga ba!" he then chuckled.

"Saan mo naman gusto pumunta?" he asked.

"Sa market.."

"Okay!"

"Mamaya na, inaantok ka pa yata eh.." I said.

"Ay sus, maliit na bagay.. Tara na.." he replied and pinatayo na ako sa sofa.

We just changed clothes at tumungo na sa palengke.

Market

"Magandang umaga Gov! Bagong bodyguard mo?" one of the fish vendor asked, I looked at Rod at kinunutan niya ako ng mukha. HAHAHA tinawag

"Ah- haha.. Oo, bagong recruit!" I replied and laughed as I chose fish na maluluto namin.

"Gwapo ah.." she added, I just looked back up and towards Rod, and he gave me an intensely annoying smile.

"900 po lahat, Gov.." the vendor said at binigay sa akin ang plastic,  binayaran naman ito ni Rodrigo bago ako makakuha ng pera sa wallet ko.

"Akin na po, ma'am.." he said at kinuha ang plastic ng isda before we continued mag-libot sa palengke.
