Richard woke up to brightness filtering through the window. Although the blinds were drawn, some light still filtered through the 'solid strips' of its design.
"Good morning" Maine said as she walked toward the bed.
"What time is it?" Richard replied, reaching for his phone on the night stand.
"It's...9:00am.." Maine said as she glanced at the clock on the wall.
"Shoot! I missed my flight! Why didn't you wake me?" Richard said as he quickly got up from bed.
"You had a temperature last night. You think I'd be crazy to let you work still?"
"But..."
"No buts...I talked to Sam already last night...we informed Cebu..."
"Paano yan?"
"Ano ka ba?! You're overworking yourself sick again! Come back to bed or do you want me to drag you?"
"Ooohh..."
"Don't get kinky Faulkerson...back to bed!"
"Wait!"
"What?! Ang tigas naman talaga ng ulo e...five years old ka nga!"
"...matigas nga..."
"WHAT?!"
"...well, I need to pee...don't get any ideas...besides, ikaw na rin ang nagasabing sick ako...and that means, aalagaan mo naman ako, diba?"
"Haaay...kung di lang kita mahal...."
