Breakfast
It was an awfully awkward moment for the both of us. Si Tito Eduardo lang siguro ang natuwa sa kung anong sitwasyon ang mayroon kami. Holy shit? He saw us. There's no point in keeping all these to ourselves now.
"Hey..." Ani Kevin at hinawakan ang akin kamay. "Are you okay?"
"Uhm.. Yeah. Okay lang."
"Why do you look like you're constipated or something?" Aniya at humulagpos ang halakhak na tingin ko ay kanina pa niya pinipigilan. Ngumisi ako at hinampas siya sa braso. "It's not funny!"
"What's not funny? Your face is funny!"
Kinurot ko si Kevin dahil ang lakas ng tawa niya. Baka mamaya ay akalain ng mga employees niya nababaliw na ang boss nila. "Quiet ka nga! Ang ingay mo!"
Hinila ako ni Kevin palapit sa kanya at ipinaikot ang isang braso sa aking bewang. "Now, there's no reason why we should keep this thing between you and me.." He declared then pecked me on the lips.
"I love you, Kate. I'll be damned if I don't let the whole world know."
Nakahawaka sa kamay ko si Kevin ng lumabas kami ng kanyang opisina. I tried talking him out of it. It's not that I don't want other people to know, ayaw ko lang ng PDA and that's exactly what Kevin wants.
"Ooooooh." They all awed. For a moment I thought we were some kind of Koreanovela everyone anticipated. I tried to free my hand kasi nahihiya ako! Ayaw ko ng mga PDA na ganyan! But Kevin being the stubborn guy that he is, didn't let my hand go. Ipinasok niya sa bulsa ng kanyang coat.
"Kevin, yung kamay ko!" I said in gritted teeth. "Why are you whispering? Aniya na natatawa.
"This is not funny! Nahihiya ako!"
"Why are you embarrassed?" Aniya na natatawa parin. "They have eyes so they can see and I'm sure as hell they have instincts, too." Aniya na ikinatawa ng lahat.
"Tagal na namin hinihintay 'to, Sir Kevin!" Ani Trystane at nakipag-high five sa mga kasamahan niya. "This calls for a celebration!" Sigawan ang lahat, senyales na nag-a-agree ang lahat sa suhestiyon ni Trystane.
"I don't see why not." Ani Kevin sa isang matigas na Ingles at nagyayang kumain sa labas.
Everyone cheered, sang, drank and drank some more. Mukhang gustong malasing ng lahat ngayon. Aside from the fact that it's Friday payday, ay libre ito ni Kevin kaya masaya ang lahat dahil hindi mababawasan ang sweldo pero nakapag-night out sila.
Maging ako ay tipsy na, Myrcella and Margaery didn't let me off the hook. Inabutan agad ako ng dalawa ng isang shot ng Patron pagka-serve pa lamang ng drinks sa aminng table.
"Can you hear it?" Sigaw ni Myrcella. "Because I can! Wedding bells!" Aniya dahilan kung bakit nagsigawan ang lahat. Hinampas ko ang braso ni Myrcella at hinila siya. Paakyat na kasi siya ng table para doon mag-sayaw.
