Mabilis akong hinila ng antok kagabi at pag gising ko ay 5:30am palang. Hinanap agad ng mata ko si Ricci pero wala na siya sa couch. Lumabas ako to search for him at naabutan ko siyang topless sa kusina at may apron na suot. Magulong buhok at mapupungay na mata.
"Goodmorning." Napapaos na boses nito.
"Morning." Medyo tulala pa din ako. It's so unfair he look so fresh even in the morning. Na conscious tuloy ako sa sarili kaya pasimple akong nag ayos ng buhok.
"Where is ate Lina? Why are you cooking?" Tanong ko.
"I always cook for breakfast so.." Mayabang itong bumaling saakin. Nag taas ako ng kilay.
Lumapit ako sakanya at tinitignan ang niluluto, it's Bacon. The usual food for breakfast. He's done with the sausages and eggs so I helped to prepare it on table.
"Do you always wake up early?" He asked after he placed the cooked bacon on plate.
"Yeah." I said.
"Hmm but I'm always the first one to say goodmorning in texts..." Ngumuso sya at nag isip.
What? I'm not usually the first one who text goodmornings okay? I'm not used to it.
"I don't want to be so clingy like you." Ngumisi ako at dumeretso sa microwave para ilagay ang left over foods kagabi.
I felt him behind me kaya marahan akong lumingon. Seryoso syang nakatingin saakin. I bit my lower lip to stop from smiling. Napatingin sya doon. He moved closer.
"I'm not clingy." He said. Napaatras ako ng lumapit pa ulit sya pero naramdaman ko na ang counter sa aking likod.
"You are, especially to other girls." Umirap ako. Let's try him, I crossed my arms but he took another step and we're inch closer to each other. Sa gulat ko ay napahawak ako sa dibdib nya. Napatingin siya doon kaya tinulak ko itong tinulak.
Mabilis akong lumayo at kumuha nalang ng milk sa ref. Naupo ako sa may counter bar at naramdaman kong sumunod ulit siya sakin.
"I don't have any other girl. Ikaw lang." He's serious now. I'm trying so hard not to laugh at it.
"I don't believe you. And you know what? I don't like clingy and possessive boys." I looked at him straight in the eyes to make him believe that. He swallowed hard.
Nawala din agad ang usapan namin ng lumabas ng kwarto si ate Lina.
"Nako ma'am pasensya na po tinanghali ako ng gising. Ako na po mag aayos dyan." Sabi nito ng matapos ang ininit sa microwave.
"Okay lang ate and pls don't call me mam" I smiled.
"Okay po." She said and laughed a bit.
Nagising din agad sila kuya Riain at kumain na kami. Medyo tumagal ang kain namin dahil sa kwentuhan at tawanan.
It's Saturday and I have a plan to go to the gym kaya nag bihis ako ng gym clothes ko at lumabas ng kwarto. Si Ricci at kuya Riain ang naabutan kong nag uusap sa living room.
"Are you going to the gym na? You didn't inform me." Sabi ni kuya Riain at umirap ito.
For the past weeks nakasanayan na namin mag gym ni kuya magkasama every weekend.
"Sorry. I'll wait for you." I said.
"I'm going too." Ricci said.
"Do you have your clothes?" I asked.
"I have them in my car." He smirked. Tumango ako.
I waited them for like 10 minutes and they're done. Pero bago kami umalis ay nag paalam na din sila Tita at Kuya Nathan saamin. We waved our goodbye to them as we exit the elevator when we reached the floor where the gym is.
