I woke up with my ringing phone. Ughh. Alarm ko yun. Fuck. Ayoko pa bumangon. Ang sarap mg tulog ko eh. But then I still got up.

I opened my eyes and saw the empty space beside me.

"Markus??" I started calling him

But there was no answer...

I got my phone and turned my alarm off. As I got my phone I saw a note..

Hey love.
Didn't have the heart to wake you up. You looked like an angel sleeping. I made you waffles with srawberry syrup. Its on the table. I have a meeting at 9am. Send me a msg pag aalis ka na. Fred will send you to your office.

I got out of bed with a smile on my face. Di nako papasok ng morning. I'll visit him during lunch and bring him some lunch.

I called Ella

Yes beb? Ella asked as she answers the phone

"Be there by 2pm. Okay lang?" I asked

Okay. 3pm pa naman yung meeting niyo ni Mr. Cortezano diba? She asked

I said yes and put the phone down.

I got up and took a bath. I texted Markus and said that I was up. He just replied with an Okay.

I saw the food on the table. I ate it and went to his fidge. Ano kaya lulutuiin ko? Paella nalng. Since magilig siya sa seafood. Gumawa nalang ako ng isa pa na beef at baka mamaga ako mamaya.

After a few minutes may nag door bell. I opened the door and saw Fred.

"Hi Fred. Can we go straight to Markus' office. I'll bring him lunch. Wag mo sabihin. Para surprise" I said

He smiled and said "Sure ma'am. Upo lang ako ha?"

"Kumain ka na Fred?" I asked

"Yes. Matatapos ka na ba? 11:30 kasi matatapos meeting ni Sir." He said

"Di pa nga eh. 9:30 palang naman eh" I said. Tska magbibihis pako.

"Mga 11 na tayo umalis. Hahanapin ka ba ni Markus?" I asked.

"Hindi po. Di niya talaga ako sinama sa meeting para sayo eh. Sunduiin daw kita" he answered.

I continued cooking. Mga 10:30 narin ako natapos

"Fred. Tikman mo naman 'to. Di ko kasi pwede tikman. Allergic ako sa shrimp. Eh favorite ni Markus 'to" I said

"Sige ma'am" and got a spoon at the counter

"Nako ma'am ang sarap niyo naman pala magluto. Parehas kayo ni Sir." He said and I smiled

"Sige. Magbibihis lang ako ha?" I answered back

He smiled at me and I went to the room. Ano nanaman kaya isusuot ko?

I saw a navy blue halter dress. (See photo) yung nalang. I-messy bun ko nalang buhok ko.

When I think I looked presentable I went out.

"Nako ma'am baka hindi na makapag trabaho si sir niyan" he said

"Fred talaga. Puro ka kalokohan. Tara na nga" I got the paper bags on top of the table. Kinuha naman ni Fred yun and opened the door for me.

When we got in the car pinagbuksan ako ni Fred sa back door.

"Sa harap nako Fred. Nakakahiya naman sayo." I closed the door and opened the front door.

Fred went to the drivers seat and started the car
