Somehow Last Wednesday

LVI

INT. BEDROOM - MORNING

6:11 a.m.

Klein took in a deep breath, biting his lower lip to prevent himself from reacting too much, afraid that she might feel him on her abdomen.

Because in truth, that was such a turn on (for him). He knew she has that side of her, head on and head strong. But he nearly forgot it especially with how comfortable she was around him. And to be honest, with her sounding driven and in-charge, it was rather . . . something else.

KLEIN
Attorney . . .

ANDY
Hmm?

KLEIN
Kung hindi mo pala ako kailangan, bakit ako nandito ngayon?

Andy smiled.

ANDY
Good point, engineer.

KLEIN
Talaga? Good point? Wala kang pang counter?

ANDY
No. Because it's true. And we're not in court bakit need ko ng pang counter? It's true I needed some company kaya I asked you to stay over kasi it feels lonely na ako lang mag-isa dito sa bahay. And I don't really mind if other people can prove me wrong. It doesn't take anything away from me, and I don't mind if it also adds up to my learning. Basta hindi sa court and debate. Kasi hindi talaga ako magpapatalo doon.

ANDY
But don't get that wrong din. Kasi I can also ask Liz and Kat to stay over. So somehow, still the same. Not really that different with my friends.

Klein grinned, dipping down a kiss at the tip of her nose.

KLEIN
Okay.

ANDY
What's that for?

KLEIN
Good morning kiss.

ANDY
Okay.

KLEIN
Binibigyan ka rin ba ng gano'n ng mga kaibigan mo?

Her eyes squinted.

ANDY
I know what you're doing, ha.

KLEIN
Tara, bangon na tayo. May isa pa.

ANDY
Ano?

KLEIN
Workout. Pang ambag ko. Kailangan healthy living ka. Marami ka pang magiging client, attorney. Dapat healthy ka. Tapos umabot ka hanggang 100.

ANDY
Do we really have to? I'm too lazy to move. And 100?

KLEIN
Oo. You have to. Bumangon na tayo. Mas matanda ka pa naman sa 'kin, baka mauna kang makipag-meet up kay San Pedro.

ANDY
What are you saying?

KLEIN
Pang longer life, kaya halika na.

Wala pa ata akong five minutes kanina sa elliptical, hingal na hingal na agad ako and he's lifting weights so effortlessly behind me?

Okay kita ko lang kasi kanina sa mirror sa harap ko but his biceps and his tattoos talaga 😭

Ina-ask niya pa ako kanina if pwede ko siya i-spot, I don't even know what that is

Alalay pala yun if ever di niya kaya yung weights pero mukha namang not to heavy kasi ang effortless niya talaga buhatin pero nung triny ko I feel like a vein was about to pop out on my head kasi ang bigat 😭

INT. GYM - MORNING

6:37 a.m.

KLEIN
Attorney, maliligo ka na?

ANDY
Yup.

KLEIN
Cold shower, ha? 'Wag ka na mag-heater.

ANDY
Yup. Ang init din, pinagpawisan ako so I want cold shower.

KLEIN
Tara sabay.

ANDY
WHAT?

KLEIN
Hehe. Joke lang.
