"Huy, RJ. Last day na ngayon, magpaka-saya ka naman!" Jerald said. RJ was just watching his phone the whole day, for the past four days, waiting for Thea to message him.
"Oo nga, RJ. Bilis na! Napaka-KJ naman ng..." Kristoffer was interrupted. RJ stood up and left the group. He went inside his room then went out a couple of minutes later...
"Akala ko iniwan mo na kami." Jak said.
"Thea's not answering. And I'm guessing she won't be anwering until tommorrow. And I'm enough of waiting." He said as he took the beer Jerald gave.
"Yan! Yan ang pare ko! Inom lang." he said.
They continued singing and drinking. Valeen, Joyce, Barbie and I just played with our phones. We didn't want to be drunk, no one will take care of the boys if we get drunk.
*******
10 beers... and 10 songs later...
"Babe, tama na... Lasing na lasing ka na o!" Valeen said. The boys were drunk, very drunk.
Barbie took Jak to her room to take care of him, and Val had to take care of Je. They went back to the room, and I was left with Joyce and Kristoffer.
"Meng, mauna na ako ah? Ikaw na bahala kay RJ. Goodnight!" She said as she took Kristoffer to his room. I sighed then woke up RJ.
"Hoy, gising." I said as I tried to wake him up.
"Hmmm... five more minutes, babe..." he whispered.
"Anong babe? Umayos ka nga, RJ! Pag-nalaman to ni Thea, lagot ka." I warned him. I waited for his anwer, but he snored in return. I rolled my eyes at him. I helped him stand up then placed his arm around my shoulder. We walked towards his room. I was about to leave him when I tucked him to bed, but his phone rang and Thea was calling. I answered it.
"Hello? Thea?"
"Nicomaine? Bakit na-sayo yung cellphone ni RJ? Id he there with you?"
"Ummm... Oo. Naglasing kasi sila. Eh naiwan ni RJ yung phone nya dito."
"Ganun ba? Favor naman, Maine o... Can you not leave RJ? I'm worried that someone might come to his room anytime and do something to him."
"Ummm... Sige, sige."
"Thank you, Maine! You're the best! I'll go na, ingat ka dyan!"
She hanged up.
"Ano bang gagawin ko dito? Kung hindi ko lang talaga best friend si Thea, malamang pinalandi na kita sa ibang babae." I whispered.
"Babe, I love you. Don't leave me please..." he said then held my hand. I rolled my eyes then decided to stay. A few seconds later, he pulled me closer then kissed me. My eyes grew bigger. H I pushed him, and he fell asleep.
"Ako ata malilintik dito." I whispered.
*******
"Hey. You're awake." I said. He seemed suprise to find me inside his room. He quickly sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Why are you inside my room? What did you do to me?! You do know that Thea's going to get mad at you." He exclaimed.
"Wow. Kapal din ng mukha mo eh. Pagkatapos mo kong halikan at tawagin na 'Babe', ikaw ang magtataka kung bakit ako nandito? Wag kang mag-alala, hinintay lang kita magising para maka-alis na ko." I told him.
"I kissed you?! Oh my God... I'm sorry, Nicomaine. Hindi ko sinasadya." He explained.
"Yeah, I know. Just behave for my best friend, kahit na hindi nya deserve yun..." I whispered.
"What? Hindi nya deserve ang trust ko? What are you murmuring there?" He asked.
"Wala. Sabi ko alis na ko." I told him and quickly left his room.
*******
"Jak, what made you change your mind about Tiana?" I asked.
"RJ, Tiana cheated on me. I gave her everything, but she repayed me by cheating. And besides, I'm happy with Barbie by my side." He explained as he kissed Barbara's forehead.
"Kaya swerte mo sakin." Barbie said.
"Grabe sya. Ang harot mo din, Barbs eh. Akalain mo, nakahanap ka ng lalaking pogi, musculado, at mabait." I said.
"May sinasabi ka?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Huh? Ako? Wala! Sabi ko, matutulog na lang ako at ang ingay nyong dalawa." I reasoned.
"Ano nga pala ginawa nyo ni Nicomaine kagabi?" She asked.
"Ni Nicomaine? Anong pinagsasabi mo? Hinatid nya lang ako sa kwarto." I said.
"Hinatid? The next day na nga nakarating si Nicomaine sa kwarto nya." She said.
"Fine. Pinabantay lang ako ni Thea sakanya. Yun lang, wala ng iba." I said.
"Ahh... Sure ka walang nangyare? Narinig ko syang sumisigaw kagabi eh." She said.
"Shh! Quiet ka na lang. Lasing ako nun, kaya hindi ko maalala yung mga nangyare." I said. A couple of minutes later, the plane flew away.
*******
"How's the team building, babe?" Thea asked. They were on their way home and RJ drove.
"It was fun. Cool. And very educational. I learned alot, like how it became popular, who lived here, and many more actually. How bout' you?" He asked.
"Ummm... Actually, babe..."
"Is there something wrong?" He worriedly asked.
"Babe... I'm pregnant!" She announced.
"Really? You are?" He assured.
"Yes. You're going to be a daddy!" She continued.
"Thank you, God. I love you so much, babe, and I'm ready to take care of our baby with you." He said.
"Me too. I love you, RJ." She said as she kissed him on the lips.
*******
"Hello? Nicomaine?"
"Thea, are you okay?"
"I already told RJ that I am pregnant. But he still doesn't know that he's not the father."
"Thea... You should tell him. He might get mad at you for lying at him."
"Yes. But I'm scared that he might found out that I cheated on him."
"That's the same, Thea. Sigh... Just follow your heart."
"Okay. Thanks!"
********
"Babe, who was that?" RJ asked.
"Oh. It was Nicomaine. Just asking for advice." She reasond.
"Advice? Advice on what?" He continued.
"Ummm... On... how to design the baby's room, on names and yeah." She lied.
"Shouldn't you discuss it with me? I'm the father, right?" He asked.
"Of course! Of course you are! But I'm tired... Goodnight, babe!" She quickly went to their bedroom then slept.
