Jackie's POV

Sakto pagkaalis ni Ate Cath, umalis na rin kami ni Andrea at dumeretso na sa LoveK.

Pagkapasok namin sa building, we went sa office ko, nagprepare na kami for the photoshoot.

Andrea: Babe! Anong mas maganda dito sa dalawang ito?
Me: I think, the left one looks gorgeous.
Andrea: You think? But babe, I don't think it fits me.
Me: You should try it first. Look if you don't like that clothing, we can look for another piece of clothing sa wardrobe.
Andrea: Okay Babe! I trust you naman!

After few hours, our photoshoot is done. Okay na lahat mg mga kailangan sa collab namin ni Andrea. Sample na lang ng make-up amg kulang.

It's already 5:30pm and medyo pagod na ko, I was yawning mula sa studio hanggang dito sa office ko. Ilang araw na rin akong walang maayos na tulog. Few minutes after, Andrea knock to my office.

Andrea: Babe! Andyan ka pa?!
Me: Yes! Yes! Wait!

I opened the door, and Andrea is standing there while crossing her arms.

Andrea: Why took you so long?
Me: Sorry! I'm so sleepy eh.
Andrea: Obviously! You're yawning.
Me: May gagawin pa ba tayo?
Andrea: Mukhang waley na Babe.
Me: Can we go home?
Andrea: Sige na. Ready ko lamg yung car.
Me: Okay.

Andrea's POV

I was outside of LoveK, waiting for Jackie. Jackie get into my car. Then I started the engine and go. I looked at Jackie, who is sleeping at the moment, nako napagod talaga ang laloves ko. Char!

Few minutes after, andito na kami sa condo building namin. I help Jackie to go to her unit. She's very tired, even tulog pa rin sya na makarating kami dito sa unit.

I decided na dito na lang sa unit nya matulog, mamaya magising pa sya diba. I change my clothes then dito ako sa couch nya matutulog. Sakto rest day na rin naman namin bukas.

3:00am, nagising ako dahil parang may dumaan sa harap ko, pagmulat ko ng mata ko, wala si Jackie sa bed nya, siguro nag-cr sya kaya agad akong pumunta sa cr, para tignan sya.

Me: Babe!! Are you here?
Jackie: Yes! And wait ba't andito ka pa? Ba't di ka pa umuuwi?
Me: Binabantayan kita, 'cause you are so tired.
Jackie: Hindi naman kailangan eh. Naabala pa tuloy kita.
Me: Babe! It's nothing!
Jackie: Okay! Sabi mo eh.
Me: Let's go sleep na Babe.
Jackie: Sige. Dito ka na sa bed ko matulog since we're both girl haha.

So Jackie and I slept together on a same bed, bakit babae naman kami parehas, unless iba yung iniisip nyo. Char. Anyways, it's 3:30am lang kasi so natulog ulit kami.

------ Next Morning ------

It is 9:15am when I woke up sa unit ni Jackie. I noticed wala sya sa room nya, so I assume na nasa living room sya or nasa kitchen. I go up and look for her, and tama nga ako, nasa kitchen nga sya, cooking our breakfast, so I hugged her at the back.

Me: What are you cooking?
Jackie: You're favorite, tapsilog hehe.
Me: Babe! You're so sweet!
Jackie: By the way, you want to go with me?
Me: Where?
Jackie: My Ate Catherine's house. You know catching up. And my ates want to meet you.
Me: Really? Okay, if that's what you want babe.
Jackie: Okay, you get ready after we eat.
Me: Sure, babe.

After we eat, we get ready and we went to Ate Catherine's house. It tooks 1 hour to arrive since medyo malayo yung bahay ni Ate. We arrive there at the right time.

* door knocks *
* door opens *

Carmela: Bunso!! You came!! Ates look who's here!!
Them: Bunso!!
Jackie: Hi Ates!!!
Catherine: Where's your friend?
Jackie: Here ate, this is Andrea, Andrea this is my ates, Ate Cath, Ate Mela, Ate Mina, Ate Aiko and my Ate Gia.
Me: Hi po ates!!
Them: Hello Andrea!!
Catherine: Pasok kayo, Jackie, Andrea.
Jackie: Sige Ate, tara Drea
Me: After you.

So pumasok na kami ni Jackie sa bahay mi Ate Catherine. Umupo muna ako sa living room ni Ate, while Jackie gets me a water.

Jackie: Drea, here's your water.
Me: Thanks babe!

Ay nadulas!!! Hahaha! Di pa pala nila alam na babe amg tawag ko sa bunso nila. Nagpaalam muna ako para mag-cr.

* whispers *

Giannelli: Jackie, did she just call you babe?
Jackie: Yes ate, but~
Them: What?!?!?!
Jackie: Easy ates! But we're best friends okay and she's my business partner. I got used to it na lang when she always called me babe.
Them: Okay!!! Defensive yarn??

I saw Jackie gave them a dagger look. Patay! Ayan na ang dragon, aapoy na. Hahaha.

So andito ako sa cr amd rinig ko pinag-uusapan nila, ang cute ng reaction ng mga ate ni Jackie.

Few minutes later, lumabas na rin ako ng cr. Tumabi ako kay Jackie at nakipagkwentuhan sa kanya at sa mga ate nya.

Carmela: Andrea, ask ko lang, kailan ka nakabalik ng Pilipinas?
Giannelli: Ano to Mela, hot seat lang hahaha.
Me: Last week lang ate. Request ni Daddy kasi eh.
Giannelli: Or baka may ibang rason pa?
Carmela: So sino satin ang nanghohot seat!
Jackie: Ate Gia!!! Ano to hot seat?!?!
Me: No babe! It's okay. Aside from my dad, I have work to do here sa Pilipinas.
Giannelli: Okay!

So andito kami ni Jackie sa guest room, nagkwekwentuhan lang kami dito. Sabi kasi ni Ate Cath na dito na lang kami matutulog medyo gabi na rin kasi, past 10pm na. Grabe magkita-kita sina Jackie at ang mga ate nya, walang bukas kung magchikahan, namiss ko tuloy mga kapatid ko na nasa Manila, dun kasi sila nag-wowork.

Jackie: Lalim naman nyan.
Me: Ay kabayo! Babe! Bakit ba lagi mo akong ginugulat?!
Jackie: Pano kasi, lagi kang tulala. Is there bothering you?
Me: No, nothing!
Jackie: Andrea, I know when you're lying
Me: Fine! I'll tell you, I just miss my siblings.
Jackie: Sorry for that. No worries, what if you call them?
Me: Um, good idea! Thanks babe!

So tinawagan ko na nga ang mga kapatid ko.

*On the phone; video call*
Me: Hello! Mau!
Maureen: Ate Andeng!
Me: Kamusta ka na? Sina Katrina, Gwen at Regina?
Maureen: Andito sila ate!
Gwen: Hi ate!
