"Gabi," I turned my head a bit to look at my girl. "Someone emailed me..." We're here at my office. Tita Lj picked up Gav earlier in our house.
"Hmm? What is it about?" I stood up from my swivel chair. Pumunta agad ako sa tabi niya. She's sitting at the couch. I bowed down a bit.
"A well known brand wants me to be their model of the new set of lingeries that they will launch soon." She said. She's looking at me now, trying to read what's on my mind.
After I read all of it, I stood up straight, biting my inner cheek for quiet good five seconds. I sighed deeply, trying to process what should I say to her. I tilted my head and look at her.
"Do want to give it a shot?" I gulped after saying that. Her face obviously lights up. Damn it.
Okay, I know, ayoko talaga. Pero kasi after she got pregnant puro nalang pag aalaga sa anak namin ang ginawa niya. Hindi niya na enjoy ang working life niya kaya ayaw ko naman maging selfish na hadlangan siya sa gusto niyang ma aim ngayon.
She jumped to me and hug me tight. Damn, Alexandrea, hindi pa kita pinapayagan!
"Yes, baby! Thank you so much!"
Pero kasi...
Ako lang dapat nakakakita niyan...
Pinigilan ko na ang sarili kong magsalita pa. I just hugged her back and kissed her head.
"One condition,"
She moved a bit to face me. Smiling from ear to ear.
"Yes po?" She cutely asked.
"Only three people allowed on the studio when you do the photoshoot." I said with finality.
"Baby naman, hindi naman ako mag dedecide non!" She pouted. Nag iwas ako ng tingin. Shit, hindi ko yata kaya! Baka makasuntok ako! "But, okay. I'll try kung pwede ha? Just don't be mad." She cupped my face and move it so I can face her again. "You'll be there naman diba?"
"Palagi. Hindi ko hahayaan na tumagal ang tingin nila sa'yo." Bumaba ang tingin ko sa dibdib niya. "Fuck, they will see my baby moles!" At parang ayoko nanaman siyang payagan. She just laugh at me! "Don't laugh, Alexandrea. Baka buntisin kita diyan!" Mas lalo lang niya akong tinawanan.
She gave me a torrid kiss as an answer. Nakalimutan ko na tuloy kung ano yung ikinaiinis ko kanina.
"I'll just email them for confirmation." She gave me a peck on the lips this time and came back to her sit and do her thing.
Bumalik na din ako sa swivel chair ko with a big defeat on my forehead.
For the following days, I got busy managing my company. Minsan ako ang sumusundo kay Gav pero minsan pag busy ako si Haven ang sumusundo. Gav's attending Nursery School 'cause she saw kids wearing uniforms when we were at the mall. She wants to meet kids and learn in school daw kaya pinagbigyan namin ni Haven.
Today is Saturday so no office day for me. Maghapon lang kaming nag bonding ng family ko. When the night came, my parents wants Gav to have sleep over with them that's why Mom and Dad picked her up. Nandoon din daw sila Tita Lj sa bahay kaya most requested na kunin si Gav. Pumayag naman agad ang anak ko kaya wala na din kaming nagawa ng Mommy niya.
Nagkayayaan naman ng gimik with friends kaya sumama nalang kami ni Haven. We are here at the bar somewhere ni BGC. Almost three hours na din kaming nandito kaya medyo tumatama na yung alak.
Tif and my wife are dancing in the middle. As long as I can see them, I'm fine.
"Shot, erp!" Abot sakin ni Claude ng tequilla kaya shinot ko na kaagad para hindi na siya mag ingay pa. Ang daldal na kasi niya, broken yata. Pulang pula na siya kakainom pero hinahayaan lang naman siya ni Skye kaya hinahayaan ko nalang din.
