Di na nag reply si Gail. Baka busy. Hayyy... Makapag ayos na nga. May lakad pa kami nina Drei at Ross mamaya. Pagkakakitaan daw ulit sabi ni Drei. Yun talagang taong yun o... puro raket.

After washing the plates together after breakfast, we rested at the sofa for a while.

"Babe?" Brent asked as he had his head on my lap.

"Yes?" I looked down at him stroking his soft hair.

"Where do you want to go later?" he asked looking at me straight in the eyes.

"Whatever you want... kasama kita... so it's ok..." I replied watching him.

"... ok... so... later were going out... for some movies and dinner... is that ok?" he said smiling as he held the hand that was stroking his hair.

"I already have tickets at home... brought it months in advance... magugustuhan mo yun..." he said with exciteness in his voice.

"Wow! Napagplanuhan mo talaga siya ha... sure... I would love that" I answered as I bent down to kiss him.

Being the next in line for a conglomerate has its perks. But Brent always to chose to shower me with his perks most of the time, instead of... himself. Not that nagrereklamo ako. He has always been very thoughtful and sweet to me that way. And its not that I ask him to pamper me so much. But he keeps on doing this because he is such a sweetie.

"But first I need to go home. I also promised Mama and Papa to bring them to Mama's amigas for lunch. Sa loob lang ng village pero I offered. I may pick them up after or have one of the drivers pick them up. Inform kita" Brent said as he slowly sat up beside me.

"Sure, babe. Send my regards to tita and tito, ha?" I replied looking at him before snuggling to his arms.

In an hour, Brent left already to their home in Dasma village. I, on the other hand, had time to prepare. hope there's enough time. I only had half a day to prepare. Gosh!

"But for the time being..." I walked to my bed a bit excited.

I lifted my pillow that covered my phone and slowly I took it into my hands. Then I looked at the screen, then kinilig ako. Gosh!

"Well that's alot" I excitedly said before reading the messages.

I set the phone down on the side table as I slowly slid back down on my bed hugging the blanket. Haaaaayyyyy... the cold bed and my fullness is making me super antok. Maybe about 2 hours would be ok.

"Mga... two hours lang..." I said before closing my eyes.

I was in deep sleep when my phone beeped. May text message na gumising sa akin ng konti. I slowly reached for my phone.

"I wonder why she messaged..." I said as i stretched.

Well, kailangan ko pa mag ayos ng condo. And now that I had some rest, I can do that cleaning, since I still have hours to prepare.

"What to do first?" tanong ko before answering myself.
