Morning sunshine🌞
Morning muscle boy
The entire house was up early this morning
What for?
Because we were going to pick up a VIP today?
Oh, you have guests?
Yep, a VVIP. A woman.
Woman?
By the name of Ms Jessica Marie Gerona Robredo
I think you're still half awake
I think I'll be fully awake once I see you
I'm not dealing with this at 8am in the morning
Love you and see you later, Ms VIP <3
Aika chuckled as she walked down the steps. Nat being cheesy was something she both hated and loved.
"Tsk, tsk...what happened to not using your phone while walking?" Tricia was at the bottom of the steps, rolling her eyes.
"Stop teasing your ate, Trish...she hasn't seen Nat in like 5 days." VP Leni laughed as she brought out two cups of coffee for her and Aika.
"Good morning, mama. And thank you for the coffee." Aika gave her mama a hug.
"Has it been 5 days already?" Tricia gasped, realising that it was the longest time Nat and Aika had been 'apart' since they started dating.
"Unfortunately yes..." Aika and Nat both had to travel out of the city for work one after another. Although they had been texting and calling, it just wasn't the same.
"Are you staying over tonight?" VP Leni asked as she bit into her bread.
"Yeah, we don't really need you to." Tricia chimed in while taking a long sip of her coffee.
"Why are you two trying to chase me out of the house?" Aika crossed her arms.
"We're not. You were going to anyways, right?" Tricia shrugged her shoulders.
"Mama, Patty is bullying me!" Aika joked as she sat down with her coffee.
"I won't be back for dinner tonight so both of you can go settle yourselves. I have a meeting with my staff." VP Leni laughed as she caught her older daughters nudging each other playfully.
"Don't you have plans with Stephen too? Weren't you talking about that new Italian restaurant yesterday?" Aika asked Tricia.
"Yep! In fact, Stephen just texted that he managed to book a table tonight, can't wait! What are you two doing with my cutie tonight?" Tricia showed Aika pictures from Instagram.
"Nat says it's a secret so I actually don't know...Even Jamie doesn't want to tell me!" Jamie would usually spoil Nat's plans but this time, the girl's lips were sealed.
"Guess you'll find out tonight I guess. I've got to go, see you tomorrow and say hi to my cutie pie for me!" Tricia gave her mama a kiss before she left.

"Hello? Is this Ms Robredo?" Aika heard a vaguely familiar voice through the phone.
"Yes, may I ask who am I speaking to?" Aika couldn't place her finger on the owner of the voice.
"Great! I'm Ms Nicole, Jamie's kindergarten teacher?" Aika instantly placed a face to the name.
