Nagising ako na wala na si Storm. Bumangon na ako at pumasok sa banyo. I did my morning rituals and I went out of the bathroom as soon as I finished my rituals.

Lumabas ako ng kwarto at bumaba only to see Storm sa kusina eating breakfast. Kumunot ang noo ko. Iba na ang suot niyang damit. Nagpalit na siguro.

"What are you still doing here?" I asked nang makalapit ako sa kanya. Sumandal siya sa upuan at tinignan ako.

"Good morning to you too, Sunny." sarkastiko niyang sabi at inirapan ako tapos pinagpatuloy ang pagkain.

Umupo ako sa harapan niya at kumuha ng pagkain tapos nagsimula na ako. Tahimik lang kaming kumakain. Sumusulyap ako sa kanya paminsan minsan. Kita pa din yung mga sugat niya sa mukha. Naiinis tuloy ako sa ulan na yun dahil kung hindi sa kanya, hindi sana magkakaganto si Storm. I know I am being irrational pero anong magagawa ko? Si Storm ang pinaguusapan eh.

"Papasok ka ba sa trabaho?" I asked him. Binaba nito ang baso ng tubig at tinignan ako.

"Depende." sagot niya with a shrug. Kumunot ang noo ko.

"Depende? What do yo mean?" I asked again.

"Depende kung tinatamad ako or hindi. Pero feeling ko hindi ako papasok kasi tinatamad ako so I'll be staying here." sabi niya at tumayo para ilagay ang pinagkainan niya sa lababo.

Mabilis kong inubos ang pagkain na natitira sa plato ko at sinundan siya sa salas. "Pumasok ka. CEO ka ng kumpanya niyo. Baka mapagalitan ka ng Lolo mo." I said.

Binuksan niya ang TV at tumabi naman ako sa kanya. "Hindi yan. I'll just text him." sabi nito.

"Storm." I groaned in frustration. He looked at me then looked back at the TV.

"Fine. Pero wag mo akong sisisihin kapag pinagalitan ka ng Lolo mo ha?" sabi ko at umupo sa tabi niya.

"Yes, babe." He teased. Inirapan ko siya and I grabbed the remote from him and I searched for something nice to watch.

"Yan! Dyan tayo!" I said in excitement. We settled on Star Movies dahil isang movie ni Emma Stone ang palabas.

"Friends with Benefits?" he asked. I nodded. "Why?"

"Why? Because Emma Stone. That's why." I answered. "Storm." I called him.

He looked at me and cringed when he saw my face. I was batting my eyelashes and I was pouting while I was looking at him. "Para kang may epilepsy." he said. I scowled at him.

"Heh! Can you get me something to eat?" I asked. "You have feet, Sunny. Go get it yourself." sabi nito.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Fine. Don't change the channel." I warned before standing and going to find something to eat in the kitchen.

I opened the drawer where Mom usually stocks junk food. Dad and I love junk food so much kaya Mommy has a drawer na in the kitchen. I got a bag of Lay's and another bag of Pretzels. Storm likes Pretzels kasi. I took two cans of orange juice and a two bottles of iced tea in the fridge and walked back to the salas.

"I'm back." I announced. Storm was sitting still in the sofa while watching something. Kumunot ang noo ko.

"Why did you change the channel? I told you not to." sabi ko sa kanya. Nilapag ko ang pagkain sa lamesa at umupo sa tabi niya. His breathing was ragged and he was sweating.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked him.

"Yeah." He replied breathlessly. What the heck is wrong with this guy? I looked at TV abd my eyes bulged when I saw what he was watching.
