MY EX-BOYFRIEND WANTS ME BACK

CHAPTER 9

**ZOE**

Sunday Morning

Andito ako kila Marlee ngayon. Last Friday night ng napagtripan naming mag sleep over sa kanila. It has become the habit of both of us to sleep either on Marlee's or my house during weekends.

Pero for the past few months lagi kung pinipilit si Marlee na sa bahay na lang namin kami matulog. And thank God lagi din siyang pumapayag.

Pero nung Friday na gabi sinabi niyang sa bahay naman daw nila kami magstay since wala daw ang Kuya Carter niya doon at late na daw makakauwi sila Tito since may business meeting pa daw ito. Kaya daw solong solo namin ang bahay nila. We can do and stay stupid for as long as we can since kaming dalawa lang ni Marlee ang nandoon.

We stayed up all night drinking beers and watching chick flick movies. It was already three in the morning when we finally decided to go to bed, and by that time namumugto na ang mga mata namin sa kakaiyak sabayan pa ng epekto ng alcohol.

Let me clarify a thing : We are not alcoholics. Though we doesn't only drink on special occassion,but we never let ourselves get to drunk specially when we are at a bar or clubs. Hindi kami yung tipo ng tao na magpapakalasing at halos gumulong na papauwi at wala ng matandaan kinabukasan. We only drink for fun at hindi para magpakamatay or what. Wala din akong balak na mabuntis agad. I love my life to be a mother this early.

It's already 11am ng magising kami kinabukasan.Then we spend the rest of the day shopping a couple of designer clothes.

Then on Saturday night we have another round of chick flick movies and beer.

Ganyan ang buhay namin ni Marlee pag kaming dalawa lang ang magkasama. Nagagawa namin lahat ng gusto namin. Young,wild and free.

Minsan kasama sa mga kalokohan namin sina Sab, Trina, Lucas at iba pa naming mga kaibigan. Pero minsan lang yun. As in sobrang minsan. Mas nag-eenjoy kasi kami ni Marlee pag kaming dalawa lang ang magkasama.

At ngayong araw na 'to balak naming magpaganda - I mean "mas magpaganda". Our today's destination? Spa at salon. We're planning to have some sort of a makeover from head to toe.

"Anong uunahin natin?" tanong ko habang gumugulong-gulong sa kama.

"Pa-massage muna tayo, then pa-spa. Last stop na natin yung salon."

"Copy.Haha"

We we're interrupted by a knock outside Marlee's door.

"Marlee..Zoe" si Tita Veronica

"Yes mommy?" sabi ni Marlee sabay tayo para pagbuksan ng pinto si Tita.

"Marlee magbihis ka na. Pupuntahan natin ang Kuya mo.  We need to know if he's still breathing. Baka masyado niya ng inaabuso ang pagiging independent niya."

Natawa kami ni Marlee. I really like Tita Veronica. She's so cool and 'kalog' . She thinks and acts not just as an adult but as a teenager as well. Kaya nga sobrang close nilang magMommy dahil sobrang kasundo ni Marlee si Tita sa lahat ng kaartehan niya lalong lalo sa pagshopping.

Tita Veronica is a well known fashion designer. At sobrang namana ito ni Marlee kaya naman she is now one of those trendsetter lalong lalo na sa Brightside. At ako naman nahawa na lang din kay Marlee pagdating sa mga ganyang bagay. I mean fashion is my thing and I love to dress up since I was a kid pero lumala lang yun simula ng naging close kami ni Marlee.

So anyways, mukhang hindi matutuloy ang aming "beauty day" ngayon 'cause they have other plans. I wasn't hindi expecting this sudden change of plan pero hindi naman ako nagalit kasi kailangan din nilang puntahan si Carter.
