Thirty Days To Forever

8 - The New Morning

Rhian

I heard a gentle knock again. Thinking that it was Pia coming back ay sinabi ko ng pumasok. I was surprised to see Glaiza coming in, nakabihis na siya. Ripped jeans and Red Tshirt with panda bear paw that was printed on the front of her shirt. Panda lover ata tong babaeng to, sabi ko sa isip ko. She's all smile and the visible dimple that never failed to attract me.

"Gising ka na pala, almusal na tayo?" she said. Akala ko umalis na siya, hindi ko maintindihan ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Gusto kong tumalon sa tuwa pero masyadong obvious, she might think I'm totally into her. Hindi ba Rhi? tanong ng utak ko. "Mukhang tulog pa ang utak mo ah. Ok lang matulog ka pa, hintayin kitang tuluyang magising." sabi niya at napangiti ako.

"Are you sure, you'll wait for me?" I asked with a smirk.

"Oo naman." she plainly answered with crossed arms. So I laid back in bed pulled the sheets to cover me with just my head visible to her. "Matutulog ka pa talaga?" she said and slowly walked towards the end of the bed.

"You said, you'll wait for me." balik kong sabi. Just then she slowly got up in bed with her knees and her hands crawling over me. Surprised of what she's doing that I can't react, too focused on her face that's slowly getting closer to me. She's practically on top of me though our bodies are not touching, her hands and knees on my sides. Mas lalo akong napahiga sa kama at mahigpit ang kapit sa kumot ko. Our faces are so closed until I felt her getting more closer.

"Glai." bulong ko na when our faces are just inches away. Then I saw her smile and got closer to me, I closed my eyes because I'm not prepared for this. Just then I felt a warm lips on my forehead.

"Sige matulog ka pa, babantayan kita." she whispered as she slowly pulled away and flashed her smile that swooned me again. Matagal kaming nagkatitigan when we heard the door opened at pareho kaming napatingin sa taong nagbukas ng pinto. Si Pia na kita ang gulat sa nakita niyang tanawin. Speaking of awkward, biglang napatalon si Glaiza pababa ng kama at kitang kita ang pamumula niya na umabot hanggang ilong at tenga. Haha, I so love seeing her blushed or should I say embarrassed at this moment.

"I...I'm sorry Rhi, I was hoping na ready ka na kaya hintayin na lang sana kita for our breakfast." basag ni Pia sa awkward moment.

"It's ok P. Ahm by the way I want you to meet Glaiza Galura, friend of mine and Glaiza I want you to meet Ms. Pia, assistant and number one supporter ko." pakilala ko sa kanila sa isa't isa. Si Glaiza parang biglang umurong ang dila na nagtaas lang ng kamay at nag wave habang ang isa ay humawi sa buhok niya at inipit sa tenga niya. Pa cute lang.

"Hi, Glaiza. It's nice to finally meet you." sabay kaway ni Pia at lalong namula ang pisngi ni Glaiza na tuluyan ng natameme sa sunod na sinabi ni Pia." Tama nga si Rhi hindi lang ang lugar ang maganda pati ang mga taga rito." And she winked at me.

"Sunod na lang kami, P." nasabi ko na lang at nagpaalam na muli si Pia. Pagsara ng pinto binalingan ko naman si Glaiza na hindi pa rin ata nakakarecover sa nangyari. "Hey, are you embarrassed because of what she saw or what she said?." biro ko kay Glaiza pertaining to our position earlier at natawa ako. She didn't say a word but instead sat down beside the bed and looked at me smiling.

"Masaya na akong makita kang masaya sa umaga dahil sa akin." and it was my turn to turn red kaya napatakip ako ng kumot. Naramdaman ko siyang tumayo, inalis ko ang talukbong ko at nakita ko siyang umupo sa couch habang kumuha ng magazine at nag umpisa ng magbasa. I slowly got up. "Hindi ka na matutulog?" tanong niya sabay tayo. Umiling lang ako.

"Nawala ng antok ko." sagot ko at napatango lang siya.

"O sige hintayin na lang kita sa labas para makapag almusal na tayo." balik niya. "Anong oras pala kayo uuwi?" dugtong niyang tanong.
