"Sabi ko naman sayo mom, I'm okay lang dito sa bahay ko." I stood at the kitchen as my hand was on the counter

I was cooking breakfast for me and Mr. picky here

"sure kaba anak? you know me and your fathe-"

"Opo ma, kaya kona to...I'll call you when I can't okay?" Naka ngiti kong sabi at nilapag na nga ang requested omelette ni Mr. picky

"who was that?" tanong nya habang kumakain

"mama ko, obvious ba?" I answered as I sat down on the chair across him

"hm?"

"ay oo pala di ka nag tatagalog" I clicked my tongue "I said it was my mom"

He made an 'O' expression with his eyebrow raised as he nodded, tumingin sya sakin at mukhang may itatanong

"Speak." demand ko

"What were they asking? or...were they worried..? did they ask you about me?"

pinang sasabi ng gagong to?

"What are you talking about? they told me that they would buy me a penthouse but I declined. I don't wanna waste money plus it's comfortable here" I explained as he nodded

"why? why'd you ask?"

"uhh...umm...how do I explain this..." ibinaba nya ng dahan dahan ang kutsara bago ako tignan

"dali!" sigaw ko sabay tingin sa wrist watch ko, letche malalate na ako

"Your father and my father used to go to the same school. They know each other really, REALLY well"

"oh tapos?"

"I just... thought they would..."

"Your family's business is none of my family's business." I said with an straight face, as he awkwardly looked away

"alis na ako, I have work" I then took my bag and opened the front door

"Wait!" I turned around

"ano nanaman?" I asked annoyingly, alam ko di nya yun naintindihan pero his eyes tells me otherwise

"I...I'm sorry for bothering you, please let me stay for a few more weeks" Aniya

"mm-kay" I walked out

"AYSHHHH!" I walked in the building pissed

"hoy bat parang pikon ka?" Denise said at sinabayan ako sa elevator

"obvious ba?" Galit Kong sabi at pinindot floor ko, nang biglang pumasok si Al

"Hi June" he smiled at tumabi sakin Kasama ang assistant nya

Ngumiti naman ako at napansin na pumunta sa likod ko si denise

"Ano meron?" Tanong ko

"Hi! june~" I heard a flirty voice spoke up at napa lingon ako

I looked at him up and down as he entered the elevator, black curly hair who looked like it was badly bleached, 90's outfit, bad expression, and brown eyes, taga pilipinas to, baliw nga lang

"how'd you know my name?" tanong ko dito

"Hala don't judge me!~ I'm John Watersons, call me jenny" I raised my eyebrow sa sinabi nya
