I woke up with a breakfast in bed and a handsome boyfriend by my side. By far the most beautiful morning I had in my entire life so far. May gamot din sa bedside for my aching body.

Handang handa ah.

Gawain niya to sa mga naging girlfriend niya noon? I didn't say it out loud because there's no point. No matter how many girlfriend he had before, as long as right now, I'm the lone woman in his life. I'm fine with it.

He's not joking when he said na it was gonna be painful. Boy, I can't even pee without wincing! No pain, no gain talaga. And I was glaring at him everytime I come out of the CR. We stayed for another couple of hours before he drove me home.

I was busy the next three days approving the work I left in Bicol. Cynthia had to go back because of her family. Pinayagan ko na at sinabing susunod din ako at kontakin ako paminsan minsan.

And after being seen in the groundbreaking and attending the gala together. As I expected it, news spread immediately. Melly and Dior is forcing me to tell them the deets pero sabi ko pag nagkita kita na kami.

Articles are published online but Brent seems unbothered. Ayos lang naman. He's single and I'm single too. Pero kahit papano I still want my privacy kaya sana ay walang media ang makialam doon.

Kaya naman heto ako ngayon at papunta sa opisina niya. Dahil ang sabi ni Mr. Mauritius ay may gusto raw siyang furnitures na under supervision ng company ni Brent. Kaya ako na ang personal na pumunta para pag-usapan iyon.

Promise. Usap lang talaga.

I knocked twice bago binuksan ang pinto. As usual, he is busy reading papers. And I can relate to him. Halos ganon din ako sa Bicol. I brought him lunch, too! At dahil alam niyang hindi ako nagtatanghalian ay nagdala na lang ako ng tinapay at inumin para hindi siya mag-isa kumain.

"Hi." bati ko. Tumayo siya at sinalubong ako ng halik. Napakapit ako saglit sa leeg niya.

"Wag na ako magtanghalian?" pilyong tanong niya. Natawa naman ako.

"Sira ka! Opisina mo to!" hampas ko sa kaniya at ikinulong niya ang baywang ko.

"Soundproof to." he smirked.

Sumingkit ang mata ko.

"Before you start thinking anything wala akong dinadalang babae rito." depensa niya agad na tila nababasa ang akusa ko.

"Pasalamat ka alam ko kung gaano ka kapatay na patay sa akin." then I tiptoed to kiss him again.

He chuckled sexily. "Damn right, I am." bago ako pinakawalan.

We sat down on the sofa in his office. Inayos ko ang dalang tanghalian. Binili ko lang naman to dahil hindi ako marunong. Siguro ay aaralin ko sa susunod na araw o linggo. Nakakahiya na siya pa ang nagluluto para sa aming dalawa. Kahit noon pa man bago mangyari ang lahat siya ang nag aasikaso sa amin. Halos ngayon ko lang nabigyang pansin. Dahil wala pa naman akong paki dati, basta nakakatipid ako sa gastos at oras.

We talked about random things and it felt so nostalgic. This is how things are going on between us before. Except for the sex. Which by the way is awesome. But what I meant is, us, talking random things and it never gets boring. It was never boring with him. 

I talked. He listens. He'll teased me and we both ended laughing together. He also told me what he's been up to the whole time we're away from each other. 

With him, I always feel seen and heard.

I smiled at him. I know he's skipping the part about my mother. Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari pagtapos. I'm curious but I don't want to pry more.
