Ms. Tea and Me (Completed)

Shes just a girl

"Alden, gising ka na?" Maine was still clutching my shirt, snuggled in my chest, as usual.

"Hindi pa!"

"Magsimba tayo."

"Maine..."

"Last week hindi na tayo nakasimba. Baka magalit na si God."

"Sige. Pero patulugin mo pa ko."

"Alden..."

"Maine... Please..."

"Sige na nga. Tulog pa tayo."

"Salamat."

"Yung premyo mo dati alam mo ba kung ano yun?"

"Meng..."

"Parang gusto ko ng sabihin sayo kung ano yun."

"Meng, mamya na lang please?"

"While you were sleeping..."

"Wrong timing ka naman eh."

"I kissed you in the lips."

I made a summersault. Did she just said what I think she said?!

"Oh! Akala ko tutulog ka pa?"

"Maine, if youre just saying that to wake me up! I swear to God!"

"Tara na magsimba. Dun ka na mangako." And she stood up, walked straight to the bathroom leaving me with mouth wide open.

"Meng! Gigibain ko tong pinto dito pag di mo ko sinagot!"

"Oo na!"

"... Wait ano?!" Does she know what shes doing to my hormones?! It is biological reaction to every man to have boner when they wake up. But I highly doubt, what Im having now is anything biological.

"Maine!" Im knocking continuously on the bathroom door.

"Alden! Do something productive and make some tea for me!"

"Wala akong balak umalis dito hanggat di mo sinasagot tanong ko."

"Isa!"

Did she just started counting on me again like a child when theyre not following their parents?

"Dalawa! Pag ako natapos maligo dito at wala akong mainit na tea lagot ka sa akin! Dalawat kalahati!"

"Fine!" And then I stomped my way out of the bedroom.

She took her sweet time taking a bath. Its for the better because if she did came out a minute earlier I dont think I can control my hormones.

Im already drinking my coffee while waiting for her. She look stunning with on her jeans and white shirt.

"Bilisan mo na at baka malate tayo sa Mass."

I took the last gulp from my coffee and went straight in the bathroom. I needed that cold shower anyway.

She looked peaceful inside the church. We were seated in front (less distraction according to Maine) and listening the homily.

When the time to pray the Our Father, she took my hands and closed her eyes singing.

After we took the communion she was praying intently. I couldnt help but feel proud of her. After all the bad cards she was dealt with, she kept her faith.
