Nadine's —
After nun, medyo matagal akong nakatulala sa kisame dahil sa mga ganap ngayon, pero dahil sa sobrang pagod, di ko rin mapigilan ang antok at natulog na rin ako.

"Pssst, Nadine. Usog ng onti." Sabi ni Kath.

Nagulat ako at napaupo ako sa kama

"Kath! Anong oras na? Kakauwi mo lang?" Tanong ko

"Hindi masyado, kanina pa ako umuwi. Napalate lang ng onti dahil may dumating na kaibigan si Dj." Sagot niya

"Ahh." Yun lang nasagot ko, hindi ko nalang ikkwento ang nangyari sa amin, baka may gawin nanaman siya na nakakahiya!

"Eh kayo? How's James?" Sabi naman niya.

"Masaya nga siya, alam mo naman." Sabi ko

"Oo nga! Pero ano ginawa niyo na masaya?!" Sabi niya while quoting the masaya part.

"We grabbed coffee tas pumunta kami kung saan pwede makita ang Golden Gate up close. Yun lang." sagot ko

"Yun lang?! That was fun already? Why not try going to small parties!
You're in the city, Nadz! Live in the moment!" Sigaw ni Kath.

"Kath! I didn't come here to party. Came here to have fun lang while not going drunk." Sabi ko.

"Weh?" Sabi ni Kath.

"Nor hook up with James and expect to be that close with him!" I yelled

"Easy there, Nadz." Sabi ni Kath.

"I just wanted you guys to y'know! Get to know each other! No Malice." Dagdag niya

"No strings attached!" Sigaw niya

"No, Kath." Sagot ko.

"Date lang kayo! Para naman maging close kayo." Sabi ni Kath.

"I want him to do the first move, Kath. Mukha akong desperate for his attention." Sagot ko.

"Fine, we'll wait till tomorrow." Sabi naman ni Kath.

...

I woke up early, Si Kath gising na rin pero she was watching the television. It was a comfy weather that you could stay in bed all day pero hindi, parang excited pa nga ako gumising... di ko alam kung bakit.

"Kath, may lakad ba kayo ni Dj ngayon?" Tanong ko.

"Umm, of course pero mamaya pa ako aalis." Sagot niya.

"Ah okay, have you seen my phone?" Tanong ko.

"Did you check the side-table?" Sabi niya.

"Checked, wala doon." Sagot ko.

"Drawers? Closest? Your bag?"

[cellphone rings]

"Ha! Found it!" Sigaw ni Kath.

"Oh, it's James calling!" Dagdag niya.

"Kaaath! Akin na, sige na please!" Sigaw ko.

"Hello? James?" Kath said habang nakangiti.

"Kath! Give me the phone!" I whispered.

"Nope, this is her number. She's sleeping." Aniya.

I squinted, what could be possibly in James mind after Kath answering my phone.

"Ganon ba, we'll have breakfast in the hotel resto kasi kami ni Dj. Sama ka ba?"
