Miss Serial Dater Meets The Geek Next Door [COMPLETED]

Chapter 8 -

It was Saturday. I needed to finish my term papers and other assigned readings. But first things first. I looked at the clock beside my table. 6 a.m. lang. I still could do my morning run and buy my breakfast on my way back.

At the coffee shop, I bought my usual breakfast. Wait, baka gising na si Maymay. I bought her fave coffee and a clubhouse sandwich. Para marami.

I rang her doorbell and Maymay opened the door. She's still in her sleep clothes. She's cute.

"What, Edward? Ang aga-aga."

"What? No good morning kiss? I bought you breakfast." I showed her the paper bag and the coffee.

Her face lit up. She kissed my cheek, relinquished me of her breakfast and shut the door in my face.

Maymay, you're truly one of a kind!

It was 10 a.m. I already had my breakfast and booted my laptop but I couldn't get my groove on. I was not in the mood. The silence was killing me. I got used to Maymay's kakulitan as well as Pat. I decided to text Maymay.

Edward: Come here.

Maymay: Busy ako. Tinatapos ko term papers ko.

Edward: You can do it in here. 10 steps or so lang May, andito ka na.

Maymay: Ayaw. Sayang time.

Edward: I'll order whatever you want to eat.

Maymay: Be there in a minute.

Works everytime.

I heard a knock. That was fast. I opened the door and Maymay went straight to the dining room and set her things on the table.

"Okay. Saan tayo oorder."

"Take your pick. Nasa ref magnet lahat ng take-out menu."

"Gusto ko ng pizza, burger at halo-halo."

"Bakit iba iba pa?"

"Ayaw mo? Uwi na lang ako."

"Okay, okay."

"Good. Dyan ka na, tuloy ko na gagawin ko."

Natawa na lang ako. Nag-order lang ako then sat at the other end of the table. I opened my laptop and true enough, I got my momentum. We were not talking to each other. Just busy doing what we're supposed to do. I got up when the doorbell rang because the food was here. Automatically, Maymay stopped typing. Nobody gets between Maymay and her food. I let her get her food first.

"So, bakit mo ko pinapunta dito?"

Wait? Pwede ko na siya kausapin? Sagutin mo na lang ang tanong, Edward.

"Di ako maka-focus eh."

"Huh?! Weird. Baligtad ka pala. Ako kelangan ko tahimik at mag-isa."

"Wala kang nagawa since dumating ka?"

"Meron. Weird nga. Siguro dahil tahimik ka rin. Pag si Pat kasama ko, waley. Puro kwento kase."

"Speaking of Pat, asan na friend mo?"

"Nasa jowa nya."

"O-kay. Malapit ka na matapos?"

"More than half. Bakit?"

"Wala lang. Pano pag inabot ng gabi at di ka pa tapos?"

"Well, order ka ulit ng dinner."

"Grabe ka naman. Di pwedeng dutch?

"Madali naman ako kausap eh..."

"Grabe ka talaga, May."

---------------

"Huh?!"

"Just sleep, May."

"Mmmm-kay."

I was carrying Maymay to the spare bedroom. I put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Good thing I cleaned the room as well. I went back to the living room to get her phone when it rang.

"Hello?"

"Edward? Ikaw ba yan?"

"Yes. Maymay is here. Tulog na. Don't worry dun siya natutulog sa spare bedroom."

"Sus, paka-defensive mo naman. Wala naman akong sinabi eh."

"Uhm..."

"Sige, goodnight. Bye."

Huh?! That's it? No questions asked?

Buti nga walang tanong. Eh ikaw ba bakit ba ayaw mo na yatang pauwiin si Maymay? Panay pa bribe mo.

I dont know.

You better think of a reason fast. Di na part ng deal nyo yan.
