Kale's POV
Mabilis akong kumilos pagkagising ko. I promised Yvaine that I will be accompanying her to the grocery but I woke up late so I had to do my thing fast. She's already bombarding me with messages kaya mas kinailangan kong gumalaw ng mabilis. After spraying my favorite mist, I went out of my room. Nakasalubong ko pa si mom na may ibang klase na agad ang tingin saakin. She didn't say anything and she didn't look mad but I know she wants to ask something. Kahit gustuhin ko mang matanong siya ay hindi ko na nagawa dahil panigurado naghihintay na siya saakin.
True enough, Yvaine was seen standing in front of their gate. Her arms are croseed and she have this irritated expression. She raised an eyebrow when I try to catch her attention by horning. It's obviously a bad idea.
Gusto ko pa sana siyang pagbuksan pero hindi ko na nagawa dahil pumasok na siya. By maintaining her cold aura, I leaned forward to kiss her on the cheek. Nakaharap siya sa labas eh kaya hindi ko mahalikan ang labi niya.
"I'm sorry baby... late akong nagising. Akala ko na-set ko yung alarm clock ko." todo explain ako.
She heaved a sigh, "It's okay"
"Your expression doesn't say it otherwise," I responded.
She looked at me and smiled. Alam ko naman kung pinepeke niya ang pag ngiti niya. Malalaman ko kaagad pero ngayon hindi ko makitang nagsisinungaling siya.
"I said, it's fine pero hindi okay na naghintay ako" she cupped my face and gave me a smack on the lips.
"Sorry baby... hindi na mauulit" tugon ko.
She grinned, "Sagot mo groceries ko ngayon ah"
Tumango ako, "Okay baby..."
"Bilis kausap ah!" nang aasar niyang puna.
"Siyempre," I winked at her. She rolled her eyes and focused on the road.
"Nagbreakfast ka? Or gusto mong dumaan sa drive thru?"
"Yeah nag cereals lang ako, let's just eat after shopping" she mumbled.
Pinapakinggan ko lang siya habang nagmamaneho ako. She's talkative and energetic, I missed her this way. Siguro naipon niya yung mga kuwento niya sa ilang taon. I'm actually enjoying her little stories. Mas gusto ko nga yung ganito siya, madaldal, masigla at higit sa lahat ay ngumingiti.
"Do you shop alone or you have someone with you?" I suddenly asked.
"I shop alone there... I even got no friends at all. Ayos lang naman saakin since sanay akong mag-isa. Siguro naging advantage ko yung pagiging sanay kong mag-isa" she chuckled.
"Were you bored?"
"I got bored, of course! But I distracted myself with watching movies, reading our old conversations, I try to cook and bake but I always ended up not liking them"
"Bakit naman? Hindi ba sayang ang mga yun?" nanghihinayang na tugon ko.
"Pinapamigay ko sa mga homeless dun. Maayos naman ang lahat it's just that I'm very picky when it comes to my cooking"
"You're a good cook," I complimented her.
Sa totoo lang, I would pay millions just to taste her cooking. No shit included. I really mean it. She have a good expertise when it comes to cooking. Hindi ako magsasawang kumain ng luto niya.
"Thank you kahit I doubt myself,"
"I would love to taste your cooking every single day of my life," I tasted how sweet my words were. It didn't cringe me at all.
