Also, some mature content coming. Tsaka merong medical terms chuchu but please know that I am no professional and some might be false and not true to life. But anyways, hope y'all will like the next chapters! Mwah!

Prior Commitment.

Weeks go by and they are both just having the best time with each other. It was as if they've made each other's life a little lighter.

Her shift this week at the hospital has been unforgiving. Whether she was on-call, her pager rang in the middle of the night 4 of the 6 days she was working.

Therefore, her and Matthew have not seen each other recently.

Matthew had a long day at work so he decided to pick up Samantha from the hospital since he knows she rode with Jaime on the way to work yesterday.

Sam's phone beeped as she was on the way to the Attending's Lounge.

From: Matteo
Are you otw w/ Jaime? :)

To: Matteo
Not yet. Waiting because she's finishing rounds pa.
...
Got stuck in a surgery earlier.

From: Matteo
Is it okay if I just pick you up? Para diretso na din uwi ni James.

This made her smile a bit. She knows his 'damoves' so well. Smooth transition.

To: Matteo
Sure :) Will let her know.
...
Iba ka 'din, 'no?

From: Matteo
Bakit naman?

To: Matteo
Magtatanong lang kung pwede ako sunduin, you even included Jaime para smooth 'yung pagtanong. 😂

From: Matteo
Sige, you win this one. See you in 10 :)

She clicks the lock button on her phone and stows it away in her coat. Samantha walks to the lounge to get her stuff with a giddy smile on her face.

The car door swings open.

"Hey..." He leaves a quick buss on her cheek.

"Hi." She buckles up and he starts to drive.

"Hungry?" He asks.

"Mm.. actually. Pwede ba tayong magpatake out? We can eat at my house?"

The light turns red and he turns to her, still in her white coat. God, she's lovely.

"Wuy, ano? Sa'n tayo?"

This takes him back. "Uhm... Chinese?"

She smiles. "Let's go!"

——

They walk in her house, plastics of food in hand.

They both had a long day at work but somehow, they had the energy to still be this present with each other.

They settle in the living room. Blankets on the couch, remote on the ready.

He approaches her with plates and notices the set-up. "Uy! No work tomorrow?"
