Taming Mr. Player (Completed)

"Mija! How's Costa Rica?" Mom asked as I reached our house.

"It was awesome, mom. Ang daming bago. Pero all in all, maganda pa din sya. Mas nag-improve pa sya. And I used Mushy again." I excitedly told mom about everything I did there.

"Oh, I think you have company." Ooops! I forgot that I am still with Jon. I pulled Jon beside me and introduced him to my mom.

"Mom, do still remember when we're still in Costa Rica, there were four of us. Me, Allan, Johnny and---"

"Jon. Oh my God! Jon, mijo. Is that you?" Mom almost cried. Her hands were on her mouth and her her eyes widened. I pushed Jon para puntahan si mom.

"H-hi Tia." Jon said tapos niyakap sya ni mom na umiiyak na talaga. (Mjia - daughter, mijo - son, tio/tia - uncle/auntie)

"Oh my God! I can't believe it. You're here. It's been a long time. Kamusta ka na, mijo? What happened to your hair? Bakit naging blonde yan? Ba---"

"Mom. Sheez. Calm down. Isa-isa lang sa pagtatanong. Wag mo tarantahin si Jon." I interupted. Kasi talagang parang ang happy happy ni mom to see him again.

"Sorry, naexcite lang ako talaga. I didn't see this young man for years and years." She said while she's examining each and every features of Jon.

"Tara na nga muna. Mamaya na kayo magkamustahan. I'll go to my room muna. Jon, you can use the guest room. Mom, iaakyat muna namin yung gamit namin. He'll be staying here with us temporarily. Okay lang naman po diba?" Kung kanina hanggang tenga lang yung smile ni mom, ngayon hanggang batok na nya. Kung posible man yun.

"Oo naman. I'm sure, Anton will be so glad to have you, Jon. Sige na, madali kayo ng pag-akyat ng gamit at ipapahanda ko na ang merienda nyo." Nagsmile si Jon kay mom tapos nagpunta na sa kitchen.

"Tara na?" Tumango sya kaya umakyat na kami. I showed him the way to his room. "If you need any help, just call my room phone." I smiled and walked to my room. Wala pa kong 30 minutes na nakahiga sa kama ko, nagring yung telephone ko sa room.

"Hello?"

("Donna.") Si Jon pala.

"Oh, Jon. What's the matter?"

("Can we meet them today?")

"Sure." Then he hung up. So I continued to rest.

I was in my room for about an hour. Then my phone rang again.

"What's up, Jon? Do you need help again?" Yun yung sinabi ko upon answering the phone because I assume that it was Jon.

("Babe...") That voice. It gave me goose bumps upon hearing it.

"E-eli..."

("Babe, I'm sorry. I love you.") My heart skipped a beat. I can't utter any word. ("Please meet me today. I'll be at Allan's.")

"Donna, tia's calling you. Let's eat. Food's ready." Jon entered my room. "Sorry, I entered. You weren't opening the door. I've been knocking for----" And he saw me talking on the phone. He mouthed 'sorry' and went out.
