Imee Marcos' POV

I'm just here at the headquarters, with Bonget, Liza and the rest of the family, we just watched his filing of COC online, since the alliance haven't been official yet, and.. we've kept our relationship as private we could.

Di naman pwedeng nakabuntot lang ako dun, since its broadcasted on national tv pa. You know na, mga chismosa! So yes, here I am just waiting for Rodrigo to arrive.

We've also prepared late lunch here in the headquarters, since magt-two na ng hapon.

"Hi mom!" Eloise greeted as she walked towards me with Vinny. Nasa sixth floor, the private part of the headquarters, lang sila nagta-tambay with their cousins magdamag.

"Buti naman at bumaba ka na, Francheska Eloise.." pataray kong sabi.

"Papasok na daw kasi sila sa valet sabi ni Tito Rod.." she replied.

Within ten minutes they entered the hall, so I walked up towards Rodrigo and congratulated him.

"Well done, palangga.." I whispered as we beso'd.

"Ano ba.. Andami pang di aware dito, kinikilig ako... Bawi mamayang gabi?" pabiro niyang sagot.

"Tse! Kain na tayo.." I invite, as he ran his gaze all over me.

"Landi mo-" I complain, as he rested his arms on my waist.

"Look, Tito Rod! I got someone to print campaign tshirts for you all!" Eloise exclaimed and showed us tshirts.

"Di ko nalang nilagay yung mga mukha niyo, it bothers me kasi!" she said and laughed.

"Wow naman, ang ganda! This one ipa-frame ko to! Thank you, El!" he thanked and hugged Eloise.

"Anything you need, Mr. President! Pero kain muna ako, di ako nagfu-function pag gutom!" she teasingly said before she walked out.

We just laughed before getting ourselves food, and spent the whole afternoon chitchatting.

A few hours later..

It was time to announce his official affiliations with Bongbong, they've set up the filming room while we waited.

"Kinakabahan ako.." said Rodrigo.

"Bakit?"

"Last time akong nag-video filming, nag-retitre ako sa politika, tas ngayon, tatakbo naman. Ano sabihin ng mga tao, wala akong panindigan?" he said.

"Medyo.." I teased, he just looked at me.

"Ano ba! May nakita kang mali, gusto mo ayusin. Kaya ka tumakbo. Period." pagbabawi ko naman. He just smiled before sumalang sa pagfilm, while I just sat on the corner.

"Iba talaga pag alagang Marcos!" Bong Go, teased as he called both me and Rodrigo's attention after the filming. He was late.

"Langhiya ka, Bong!" ani ko at sinapak siya.

"Nanakit.." he uttered.

"Diba! Based on my own experiences talaga.." Rodrigo replied, if ipag-ugbok ko mga ulo niyo, mga langya!

Eloise suddenly excused herself and approached me. "Mommy, can I join nila Kuya Vinny?" Eloise asked.

"We still have dinner, saan ba kayo?" tanong ko naman.

"Magb-bar!" pagsasatsat ni Michael.

"Hala! Excuse me! Just say na na i-inggit ka lang! Because you have a little baby Mia at home, you have curfew, and Ate Cara is gonna kill you if you take the night out!" pamaldita namang sagot ni Eloise. Eto talaga.

"We're not going to a bar ma, we'll just get dinner and mago-overnight lang ako sa kanila ni Tito Bonget.." she explained.

"Okay, but be home ha.." I said, she just agreed and umalis na sila.

We had dinner, with the tira-tirang pagkain from lunch and had wine before we went home. We arrived home at atleast 9:30 p.m., to a silent and dark house. No one's here.

"Tayo lang dito, hmm?" Rodrigo uttered and held my waist from the back.

"Hindi! Manonood tayo ng tv, wag kang ano, Rodrigo!" I firmly said and stood my ground.

I sat down on the couch, so did Rodrigo. I took the remote, and browsed through Netflix.

"Romance?" I ask.

"Action.." he insisted.

"Romance."

"Action."

"Sige na nga-"

"And I remembered it... all too well!!" a familiar voice sang.

ELOISE?!

"Darling! Akala ko ba mags-sleepover ka kay- Tito Bonget??" I asked as she went to the kitchen to get water.

"Wala akong damit pantulog, kaya bukas nalang daw!" she replied.

"Enjoy kayong dalawa ah.." she teased.

"Gusto mo makithirdwheel?!" I tease.

"Only if its either Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Jen Aniston, or.. Angelina Jolie!" she replied as she sat down on the couch, in between me and Rod.

[Imee] "I agree.."

We then watched Angelina Jolie's, Wanted. Eloise and Rodrigo cooked popcorn and fries, while I prepared mango shakes. Gabing gabi kumakain parin!

Philippine Daily Inquirer, 2015

They are close friends, Sen. Bongbong mentioned, parang since the 80s pa!

Friends with benefits ba? 😉

tessierodriguez
They're probably in a private relationship. Imee was seen in Davao a couple times, Mayor Duterte in Ilocos aswell. Good for them!
