Shut up, Mitch! and I covered my ears with pillow.

Leigh, malalate na ako!

And then?

Hindi ko dala yung sasakyan ko. she said, still shaking my hip.

Just book a grab.

Ikaw bayad.

Sure.

I realized what will happen to me if I'll just stay here, another boring day.

Antok man, pinilit ko nalang bumangon at sundan siya na nasa kusina, naghahanap ng pwede maluto.

Nag-grocery ako kahapon, you can cook whatever you want. sabi ko at kinuha ang phone na ngayo'y umiilaw.

FROM: Gael

Andyan si Mitch?

Kumunot ang noo ko sa text niya, hindi niya alam?

Mitch.

Yeah?

Ikaw ba naghatid sa'kin dito kagabi?

Yup. she answered.

I thought it was Gael, I remembered a man carrying me last night.

Oh---no way! I dreamed about Lyde last night pala, that was ridiculous!

I slept easily last night when we are in a club because I thought that Gael was Lyde so I felt sleepy, thought that it's his presence, tss.

Akala ko kayo ni Gael yung naghatid sa'kin?

Kinuha ko yung unan ko na mukha ni Mitch at nagselfie. I posted it on my Instagram with the caption of "your girlfriend is here, Gael"

Take a look at my new post. natatawa kong sabi kay Mitch.

She didn't respond. I think she's busy cooking.

I continue reading comments and I just can't stop laughing.

Gael commented on your post...

Jesus!🥴

Mitch, look at Gael's comment on my post! sumbong ko.

Sinilip ko ito sa kusina. Tumayo ako para tingnan ang ginagawa niya.

She's reading something. what's that?

She panicked. huh? w-wala.

Kanino yun?

Wala, nakita ko lang mukhang galing sa bag ko, nahulog. those eyes are lying.

Let me see it.

It's not important, resibo lang.

Then why don't you let me read it?

She laughed and put it on her pocket. resibo nga lang. then continue on what she's cooking.

Lumapit ako at hindi pinalampas, kinuha ko ito sa bulsa niya. I know there is really something, I can sense it.

Leigh! akin na nga! tinaas ko ito at pinanliitan siya ng mata.

I didn't read all of it but I saw who's this letter from.

Pumunta siya rito?

No!

Eh paanong andito ito? taas kilay kong tanong.
