Next To Me

10. RJ's balcony

Maine woke up feeling fully enegized. She stretched her arm and yawned too big, then a smile forming on her face as she remembered the events yesterday.

RJ took care of me. Andito sya kahapon. He even fed me.. And also, he wiped... He wiped my face! That sent blood rushing to her cheeks. And my arms.. Yeah, hanggang arms nga lang pala. She thought somewhat disappointed. Huy! Umayos ka nga. Kung anu-anong kaharutan iniisip mo! Nakahassle ka na nga sa tao e. Haaay, RJ. Thank God for you, you saved me once again. Hmm.. Pagluto ko kaya sya ng breakfast? makabawi man lang. Gising na kaya sya?

She stood up and went to the balcony to check on her neighbor's.
Her neck is craning as she tried to look at RJ's sliding door.

Wait, di ko makita.. Lipat na nga ako! Ano ba to?  Ang hirap naman umakyat.. She moved up on the ledge and leaped on his balcony floor. She stick her face on the glass door and put her hands on both sides of her face to get a better view inside.

"Huy! Ano'ng ginagawa mo d'yan?!"

"Ahhh!"

Maine stumbled backwards because of too much shock. RJ's face suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Hahahahahahaha!!! Nakakatawa yung itsura mo! Hahahahaha!" he couldn't contain his laughter as he opened the door. He was even clutching on his stomach.

"Nakakainis ka! Nakakainis ka!" She said furiously while hitting RJ's arms after she got back up on her feet. RJ candidly defending himself but still laughing.

"Hahaha! Ano ba kasing ginagawa mo dyan?" He said, trying to catch his breath from too much laughing.

"Hay naku! Wala! Uuwi na nga ako. Bwisit!" She said as she faced her balcony and started to pull her legs up on the ledge.
RJ then pulled her arm trying to stop her.

"Huy huy, Teka lang. Di mo pa sinasagot yung tanong ko."

"Bitiwan mo ko! Babalik na ko!" Maine pulled her arm back and tried to step up on the ledge.
RJ yanked her more pulling her towards him but they just both ended up on the floor.

"Ow!!!" It was RJ. Maine landed on top of him as RJ hit the floor with his bottom.

"Argh! Ang sakit!" RJ wincing on the pain. He held on her tighter, his arms landed her waist.

"Huy, okay ka lang? Saan masakit?" She got too concerned that she didn't notice his arms. RJ was trying to hide his smile when he noticed what he was doing too.

"Ah..? Masakit... Masakit yung pwet ko!" He poutedHe loosened his grip. Baka makahalata pa to. He thought.

"Hala! Sorry na. Ikaw naman kasi ang kulit mo e." Maine stood up and held RJ's arms trying to help him up. "O, tayo ka na jan." RJ looked up at her straight in the eye and instead of standing up, he yanked her down causing Maine to fall on him once again.

"Argh! Gago ka talaga!" Maine is glaring at RJ now as she tries to stand up.

"Hahahaha! Gumaganti lang." He said with a smirk on his face while still seated on the floor.

"Hey, good to know you're fine na!" He called on her as she went back to her room.

RJ stood up hunched and massaging his bottom as he entered his room. It looks like he won't make it to work today.
