Just Another Day at the Beach

Mcdo

I woke up at 6:30. My usual wake up time. I tied my hair into a high bun and put on a sweater. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. Then i opened the door to see RJ watching tv, lying down on the sofa but already fresh and ready, still in my plain tee and the shorts he wore yesterday. "Good morning, Maine!" He said walking to the kitchen. "Oh. I bought Mcdo for us. Yung Chicken Filet Ala King? Ok ba yun sayo?" He asked. I was shocked. It was really early in the morning but there was a Mcdo across the street open 24 hours. "Umalis ka?". "Yup nag jog ako mga 30 minutes kaninang umaga then i stopped by Mcdo to get breakfast.". He pulled out the chair for me to sit. "Salamat RJ, ha. At nako, pasensya na, i live by myself kaya maliit lang ang lamesa at isa lang ang upuan.". "Ok lang yun. No problem.". RJ ate standing up. "Ok naman ba tulog mo o uncomfortable yung sofa?". "Hindi! Sobrang lambot nga nung sofa eh. Masarap tulog ko. Thank you ulit.". I smiled then continued my meal. "Oo nga pala, Maine, i have to leave after this kasi may work pa sa Native's.". "Ok lang. Gusto mo samahan kita?". "Hindi na. Malayo pa biyahe. Kaya kong mag isa. Salamat."

After breakfast RJ fixed the sofa and folded the sheets neatly. "Yan lang ba susuotin mo? We can go to the mall to buy you clothes for your trip if you want. " I asked. "No its okay. Pero how about your shirt?". "Nah its fine. Keep it." I said. "Sure? I'll give it back the next time i see you nalang.". "Okaayy." I said. Then he was off.

I decided to call Janeeva again.

"Hello? Nasa work ka ba?"

"Yup pero ok lang. not really doing anything at the moment."

"Okay so umalis na si RJ papuntang Batangas ulit."

"Bat di mo sinamahan? Naka tunganga ka lang naman dyan sa bahay eh. You should actually get a job na, Maine. I'm telling you."

"I offered to go with him pero tinanggihan lang ako. Ok lang, para wala na syang pro problemahin habang nasa work sya. I'll think about the job part though. Wala namang magandang jobs here that i want eh. Puro puno naman o not hiring yung mga gusto ko."

"Ano ka ba! Alam ko na! Mag apply ka kaya sa restaurant ni RJ! That way, makakapag bonding kayo kapag free time nyo."

"I have to talk about having a job in Batangas with my parents first. San ako titira? Ang layo layo eh. But i don't mind."

"Okay. Basta todo suporta ako sayo, Meng. Sige na. Babye!"

"Byeee."
