How to be a Filipino l.h

sleep hatin' early

rule no. 5

the sun goes down, need to slow down. by the way, i'm a fan of cuddly bears!

7:00 pm

after the damned dinner, my other relatives had gone to their respective houses.

now, what am i gonna do? uh... yeah, i'll be sleeping now.

" okay, luke you may sleep on the sofa. bim, sleep to your room" dad ordered

"but-"

" i know what are you gonna say. no, luke is a boy. you can't sleep beside him. god knows what you'll do to him"

i have no win here so yeah...

i went to get a blanket and 2 pillows hoping this could help him to be comfy.

"sorry luke, there's no other room to sleep in eh... sorry. i'm sorry. no, you sleep in my room i'll sleep here"

" no, this is what your dad told. i don't want you to get in trouble just for you letting me in your room" luke said. i don't know why i blushed but what he said makes my insides explode.

"alright. just knock on my door if you needed something"

i went to my room and changed to my pajamas and tried to sleep.

sinubukan

this is my first time that i cannot sleep. insomia isn't my problem.

12:00 m.n

god forbid me for doing this.

i opened the door seeing poor luke who cannot sleep, mosquitos biting his precious skin.

"luke!" i whispered-shouted not wanting my parents to wake up who's just in the other room beside mine.

he snapped unto my direction

"oh? mikey, why are you awake yet?" he questioned. him saying my name makes me go nuts.

"perhaps the same reason why you're awake now" i answered

"uh.. the mosquitos are making my life a living hell"

i laughed at what he said. well, he has a point. why are those insects still existing?

"come on sleep in my room"

"but-"

"luke... we're okay as long as we haven't been caught" smirking i opened the door.

"did you just quoted our song?"

"yes i did"

we laid beside each other on the bed as i felt luke hugging me, spooning you called it.

"luke-"

"this serves as thank you" kissing my forehead

thank god i'm 5 foot tall and thank mary for keeping me calm.
