Cheer Up, Captain

Chapter 23

It was such a good way to end and begin another day!

Finley and I slept—like sleep lang talaga. We didn't even hug or cuddle hanggang maka-tulog. I barely remembered what we were talking about when I fell asleep. Basta we were talking about something hanggang sa maka-tulog na ako.

Finley woke up earlier than me, pero nagising din ako agad when he flushed the toilet. Naka-upo na ako sa may bed and I was rubbing my eyes nung lumabas siya sa CR. And could I just say that... damn, this boy's attractive! Kahit medyo magulo pa iyong hair niya! But so unfair kasi usually puffy ang face pagka-gising, but apparently, not in Finley's case.

"What?" he asked.

I quickly shook my head. "Nothing," I replied. "So... do I get a breakfast in bed?" I asked, teasing him.

Come to think of it, never ko pa nakita magluto si Finley! His condo is complete naman sa gamit, but baka display niya lang 'yon? But for someone who eats healthily, paano 'yon? Food deliveries? Or does he have a personal chef? I mean... to be honest, it isn't far from the realm of possibility at this point. This boy has buildings.

"Sure," he said. "But it will take some time. And I have a whole day planned."

My eyes widened. "Really? Hindi 'yung last night 'yung gift mo sa 'kin?" I asked, really surprised! Kasi super okay na for me 'yung last night. It was a really nice dinner and I really love the flowers and 'yung bracelet... but most importantly, I loved that I got to spend time with him. Lagi kasi siya mag practice for basketball. I thought talaga magkasama lang kami sa unit the whole day. Like him playing his mobile games while I do my school works. That would be super okay with me already.

"You're such a jerk," sabi ko sa kanya.

I thought kung ano iyong plan na sinasabi niya! Nandito kami sa gym ngayon. He also has a private gym pala don sa may court na pinuntahan namin. So spoiled.

Finley lifted some weights habang nandon lang ako sa treadmill. After a while, na-bore na din ako kaya naglift na rin ako ng weights. We stayed there for like two hours.

"Ano'ng next? We'll join a marathon naman?" I sarcastically asked. Bakit ako nagwoworkout sa birthday ko? I should be relaxing!

Tinawanan lang ako ni Finley na akala niya cute iyong ginagawa niya. Bumalik kami sa condo. May kinuha si Finley from the back of his car na bag.

"What's that?"

"Bag."

I frowned at him. "Why are you being so annoying today?"

Tinawanan niya lang ako. "Bilis mo kasing mainis."

"Nakaka-inis ka kasi."

"How come? Sinagot ko naman 'yung tanong mo."

"Well, I have eyes. Obviously, alam ko na bag iyong hawak mo."

"So, bakit ka pa nagtanong?"

I gritted my teeth. Tinawanan lang ulit ako ni Finley.

Pagdating namin sa loob ng unit, binaba niya iyong bag niya sa may couch.

"We have lunch reservation at 11:30," sabi niya. "AM," he continued, being super annoying like iniisip niya na iaask ko if AM or PM e sinabi na nga niyang lunch. I frowned so hard at him.

"Sorry," he said, pressing his lips together pero obvious na he's having the time of his life habang iniinis niya ako. "You have two hours to get ready. That's enough? If hindi, I can call to push back the reservation."
