Happier ~ A MayWard Story

Happier~ Chapter 2

She stepped outside on the patio and stared at the night sky.. she closed her eyes and dreamed of her tomorrow..
————
"May" I turned around and snapped out of my thoughts..

"O. Marco!" I walked over to him

"Not excited to see me?!" He pouted

"Pfftttt!!" I rolled my eyes.

"Are you still mad? I said I'm sorry already" he frowned..

"Hindi ah.. I'm just tired" I faked a yawn "see?"

"Yehyeh"

"bakit ka nandito? Its late na you should be at home resting.."

"Sorry mom, I was busy with things" he held in his laughter as I smacked him in the arm..

"Mom ka dyan! I'm just worried that's all.. it's dangerous here at night you know! Who knows what could've happened to you.."

"Sorry.. I didn't mean to worry you.. I won't do it again, promise.." he placed his hand on his chest which made me laugh..

"Yeye.. just sleep here for the night, I'll give you some spare clothes and you can sleep on the sofa" I offered..

I walked inside and searched through the drawers for spare clothes..

"Here" I chucked a loose t shirt and baggy shorts..

"Always prepared" he answered..

"I ALWAYS come prepared" I made a cheeky smile and walked towards the bed..

"You can change in the bathroom.." I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes..

Hoooo ang sarap!! Finally get to rest my eyes for once!!

Later I heard a door open and feet heading towards the sofa..

"Night"

"Goodnight"

I decided to fall asleep as I was too tired to open my eyes..

"Marco gising na!!" Maymay threw a pillow at the sleeping man..

"Aray!" He moaned as he spun left to right, holding his head..

"Come onnnn!! I cooked breakfast for you, I have somewhere to be so just find it on the counter" I explained and slung my bag around my shoulders and stood up straight..

"Where you going?" He asked..

"Just to meet an old friend"

After saying goodbye I walked through the door and headed towards the meeting place..
——

"EMMM!!" I heard a loud high pitched squeal coming from behind me..

"JAYYYY!!" I turned around and was greeted immediately by an embrace..

"Em I missed you" she smiled

"Me too J" we linked arms like the young kids we were in school and walked towards her apartment, as we catched up on what happened the lost years..

"So M, How are things?" She took a sip of her coffee..

"Good. I'm doing things. Things are good"

"What do you mean good? I want to know everything!! Everything that has happened since—" she paused..

"Edward" I sighed..

"Er yea, if you don't mind M"
"It's okay if you don't wanna talk about it, but I'm always here to listen"..

"It's fine.. that was what? THREE years ago?! I'm fine now, everything's fine" I emphasized the last word..
