Chapter Two: The show
It's still 4:30 in the morning, nandito na ko sa harap ng bahay nila Yassy. It's our routine na every Thursday, we have to jog. I just texted her saying, I'll be waiting here.
As if on cue, bumukas yung gate nila. At iniluwa nito si Tita Monet. Biro lang! Este lumabas si Tita.
"Liam why are you there? Halika, sa loob mo na antayin si Yass. 'Tong batang to, oo. Kung di pa sinabi ni Yass na nandyan ka, di ka pa papasok."
"Tita naman, okay lang naman po ako dito. Iniisip ko lang po kase, baka po natutulog pa kayo."
"Ito naman si Liam, parang others huh? Halika ka na iho. Ano gusto mo? Coffee or tea?"
"Coffee na lang ho. Tita talaga."
Maya-maya pa ay bumalik na ulit si tita. Nakapagkwentuhan na rin kami. Ngunit 'di pa bumababa si Yassy. Kakatukin na sana ni Tita pero nagpresinta na akong, ako na lang.
I was about to knock when the door immediately opened. Bumungad sakin ang napakaganda kong girlfriend, even just in her jogging attire.
"Good morning babe. Akala ko wala ka nang balak lumabas dyan eh." I gave her a peck in the forehead.
"Haha. Sorry naman. Ang hirap kaseng pumili ng isusuot eh, I'm getting chubby na babe." She pouted
"Eh di wag ka nang pumasok, mag jog ka na lang buong umaga." I teased her.
"Hmp! My boyfriend is soooo rude. Sabi ko nagiging chubby lang, ginawa mo naman akong obese nyan. At saka, iitim naman ako nun."
"Kidding aside, kahit maging 200 pounds ka man, at maging 'sing itim ng uling, it won't change the fact that I love you. Ikaw at ikaw pa rin ang nag iisang babe ko. Keep that in mind Ms. Yassy Dione. That's how much I love you."
"Aww, that's so sweet of you my Liam. Kaya mahal na mahal din kita eh."
"Kayong dalawa, magjojogging ba kayo o pupunuin niyo ng langgam 'tong bahay? Inaanay na 'ko dito oh."
"Psh, mom you're so panira ng monent huh! And what's with the bitterness?" Yassy answered her mom. Ewan ko kung ako lang ba o napansin kong nag iba yung mood ng face ni Tita.
"Anyway, babush na mom. I'll see you tonight." Nag beso sila as their way of bidding goodbye.
"Bye Tita. Pakamusta na lang po ako kay Nick pagkagising niya."

We jogged all the way from Yassy's subdivision to the city park. It's not that far anyway. So everything's fine.
Next thing we'll do is that iiukutin namin yung buong park.
"Okay 5 rounds straight babe, are you ready?" I asked her.
"5 rounds straight?! For real babe?!" Tila nagulat yata siya.
"Yes. 5 rounds straight." Pag-uulit ko.
"Dati it's only three. Are you gonna kill me sa sobrang pagod babe?"
Hinila ko siya papalapit sakin and hugged her. "Of course I'm not gonna do that babe. C'mon, para madali na tayong matapos."

Teen Fiction"I loved her. Past tense, Elle. Akala ko ba magaling ka sa English? Ni simpleng past tense lang hindi mo pa maintindihan. She was my past tense, and you are now my present tense. And I'd be more than willing for you to be my future tense. I love you...
