Under the Moonlight

"I'm home" I put down my bag on the coffee table and sat on the sofa with my ragdoll cat.

"Welcome home mahal" Sabi naman ni Avey na lumabas sa kwarto niya, kakatapos lang maligo at pinapatuyo buhok niya gamit yung towel. 

She walked towards me "how was it? nabili mo pala yung donut ko?".

"It was good, oo nasa table yung donut pati kape mo" I told her while winter sat on my lap. Mainit sa pinas pero winter pinangalan ko sa pusa ko, she loves cold places which means gusto niya sa may AC pero okay lang rin naman sya sa warm na lugar pero mas gusto niya sa malamig. 

"Ano? bet mo ba?" tanong ni Avey habang kinakain niya yung donut niya.

"Bet ang alin?"

"Sino pa ba? edi si Nic!" umupo na siya sa tabi ko habang hawak niya kape at donut niya.

"One, it's not a date. Second, I've only known him a little bit." Sabi ko at hinalikan pusa ko.

"Fair enough sige, ito nalang ano itsura niya kanina?" Curious na tanong niya. I sat properly and thought a bit remembering the moment we had earlier. 

"Well, he looked great even though he was casual, he smelled good, and he had kissable lips," I unconsciously told her.

"Huy! ano daw?! Kissable lips, ikaw ah!" Gulat at pang-aasar sabi ni Avey. Halos mahampas  ko na siya sa hiya ko. I mean it's true he has kissable lips I can't deny that pero still ugh.

"I couldn't help it ang lapit kasi niya sakin kanina.." mahinang sabi ko. She continued to look at me surprised at inayos din ang upo niya. 

"Ano ba kasi nangyari kanina?? I'm all ears to listen dali!" excited na sabi niya. The whole I ended up telling her about what happened at ang reaction naman niya habang nagkwekwento ako ay parang nanonood siya ng kdrama. 

"Sana all may pa ganon, when kaya me." Sabi niya at sumandal sa sofa. Tinignan ko siya na parang may iniisip siya, she was just staring at the ceiling until she noticed me looking at her kaya ngumiti siya sakin. Something was really bothering her kaya tinanong ko siya.

"Ikaw ba? wala ka ba chika o ano?" simpleng tanong ko sakaniya, nag isip siya konti bago niya sinabi na wala.

"Avey yung totoo? parang medyo down ka lately kahit naka ngiti ka. Don't lie to me alam kita." I asked her sincerely at hinawakan kamay niya. She sighed before she held my hand as well and looked at me.
