Payb Takes

Lego House

Hi!

This part of the story came to me as I was listening to the song by Ed Sheeran. It's really such a beautiful song but I can't relate it to current happenings in KS or the bibis so consider this as another "What If". 😊

Again, this is fiction and a product of a hyperactive imagination created for the ILUSYON world of Payb Takes RJ and Payb Takes M. Please don't make anything out of it.

Thank you.

P.S.
This is also a prelude to a story request in The Calculator. 😏

Random Day, 3:00am, M's condo:

M sits on her bed with her laptop propped infront of her, tapping her keyboard. She's been trying to write something and yet she has been infront of her computer for over 2 hours, typing and deleting and repeat.

M: *sighs, checks her phone, message from R, reads it* If you're going to be here just be here, okay?

This last fight has really taken a toll on their relationship. She has not been able to concentrate on anything, not work, not writing, not making videos, not even social media. Her family and those who care about her are starting to take notice.

She decides to browse through her social media accounts and see quotes about love and fear and making it through tough times together.

M: Timely. Wow parang lahat ng to para sa akin kahit hindi naman. *sighs, sets her phone down*

She decides to go to the kitchen and grab some snack.

M: Gutom lang to.

It's really just a half-minded thought. She knows that's not why she can't sleep or do anything else but think of him. She misses him... terribly.

It's not that they don't talk. They do. They have been in constant communication through text and call but she misses him. She misses being around him. She misses just talking to him freely without a care in the world. She misses how his hands clasps hers and make her feel like he won't ever let go. She misses how he holds her in her arms, his warm embrace, the gentle beating of his heart as she lays her head on his chest, his fresh musky scent. She misses his kisses, his soft warm lips on hers and how they make her feel loved and wanted. She misses how they were before... before they decided to take a breather two days ago.

What was it for again? She doesn't remember exactly. Did they get tired of hiding? Did they think it's not working anymore? Was it because of too much pressure from work? Was it the occasional "selosan" and "tampuhan" that weighed them down? Was it because of all her fears and insecurities? She doesn't remember. All she remembers is that things were said and they decided they needed a little time away from each other to think things through.

She is so deep in her thought that she totally forgot about the pizza she heated. It now sits on the table, cold again. She catches a glimpse of the of the time from her phone.

M: What? 5:00am? Good luck. What is sleep? May Bulaga ngayon huy... Susunduin ka na nila in 3 hours. Paano?

She stands up and about to go back to her room when her phone rings, it's RJ.
