Sweet Cherries

Chapter 14 ⚠️🌸

Tomorrow morning

Micah POV

I woke up early at 2:30 a.m. while Alia and the others were still sleeping. I got up to take a shower because I still had to pick up the van at my house.

I was about to get up when Alia suddenly moved, so I pretended to be asleep again. I opened my eyes slightly to check if Alia was awake.

When I checked, she was still asleep. "Whew, that was close," I said to myself, as I slowly got up from the bed.

I decided not to take Alia with me to pick up the van so she could get some more sleep. Once I got up, I headed straight to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.

I finished taking a shower and changing clothes. I checked on Alia and saw that she was still asleep, so I carefully opened the door to avoid waking them up, and gently closed it as well.

I was surprised to see Gavi in the living room awake and playing games on her phone, "uy ginulat mo'ko, gising kana pala" I said.
"uhm 'di ako makatulog ng maayos eh, saan ka pala punta?" she said.

"ah kukunin ko yung van, sama ka?" i asked her, "sige, wait papalit lang ako damit" she replied and went to the bathroom to change her clothes, later on she came out.

"tara na bro" she said. We left Alia’s condo and were walking down the hallway when she asked me, "kala ko ba sasama sa'yo si Alia?" she asked, "ah, I didn't wake her up, ansarap ng tulog niya eh" I replied.

"ah ganon ba, baka magtampo sa'yo yun bro" she said. "hindi 'yan, tara na nga bilisan na natin" I said.

Alia POV

I woke up because of Marian's loud alarm. "ang ingay naman n'yan" I said. "Wake up, Ate Alia. It’s already 3:30; we’re leaving around 4:00," Marian said. "Oh, right," I replied and immediately got up.

I noticed that Micah was not beside me, so I asked them, "Where is Micah?" Clinton replied, "baka kinuha n'ya na yung van."

"sabi ko sasama ako sakan'ya" I said, "magtampo ka ate alia" Marian said, "eto naman si uyab sulsol din eh" clinton added.

"magtatampo talaga ako sakan'ya" I said irritably, "tama'yan ate alia, kung gawin din sa'kin ni Clinton 'yan magtampo rin ako eh" Marian said, "magkakaibigan nga kayo " Clinton said.

We just changed clothes and left the room. Stef and Shanian were already awake, but Jaron was still asleep. "Hey Jaron, wake up," Clinton called to her. "Five more minutes, please. I'm still sleepy," Jaron groggily replied.

"sige matulog kalang d'yan, iiwan ka nalang namin" Steffi said. Agad naman bumangon si jaron, "sinong iiwan?" jaron asked while raising her eyebrows.

"babangon din pala ang dami pang arte" Steffi said and rolled her eyes to jaron, "eto ang aga-aga ang sungit hays" jaron said while shaking her head.

"mag coffee nalang tayo and bread" I said and they nodded. Marian and I made coffee for everyone. After a while, Micah and Gavi arrived.

"hii guys good morning, ready naba kayo?" Gavi said, "yup, coffee muna kayo ni Micah" Clinton replied. Micah approached me, "hi baby good morning" she said and kissed me on the cheeks.

I ignored her and continued drinking my coffee. "Hey baby, did you sleep well?" she asked again. Still, I didn't acknowledge her. "That's it, bro. I told you Alia would be upset with you," Gavi said, tapping Micah's shoulder.
