My phone rang. I almost dropped it when I saw it was Julianne calling.

"Hoy bading. Buti gising kana."

"Yeah. Watsap?" I looked at the clock it's 9AM.

"I'm coming over. May time ako ngayon eh. Kaka-drop ko lang sa kids sa pre school. Malapit na ko."

"Ah okay sige. Akyat ka nalang." I surveyed my room. It's a total mess. Bakit ba kasi ang laki na ng room ko saan saan pa namin ginawa.

I started picking up the clothes on the floor. Fixed the day bed and arranged the pillows and stuffed toys that were on it. I was fixing my bed when Julianne knocked.

"Hey, here's your macchiato." I grabbed the venti and took a sip. Ahh coffee.

"Thanks girl. I haven't bathed so, if u wanna watch something you know what to do." Umupo siya sa day bed.

"OMG, is this a condom packet?" throwing the blue foil at me. It fell to the floor. I bit my upper lip.

"Ay crap. Ano yea it is. Maliligo muna ako."

Tumakbo ako papunta ng banyo. Dala ang cellphone ko.

 I ran water into the tub. Called Zeke. After 6 rings he picked up.

"Oh, miss me already?" bedroom voice.

Tingling sensation. Holyshilfjiejsh.

"Sira. Julianne is here. She saw the condom foil. Hindi mo pala tinapon sa trash. Grrrr!"

"Oh shit. Umm... Your call kung kanino mo sasabhin but I don't kiss and tell. I wont tell."

"The problem is if Julianne finds out she WILL tell Jordan."

I know my friend and she tells her husband EVERYTHING; well, not the juicy details but basically the jist and THIS is one detail she might not be able to keep from Jordan.

"Sorry to put you in this position. Shet Freyja... position... I'm UP!" I knew what he meant. Perv!

"Hoy go back to sleep or take a bath. Good day!" I ended the call.

I immediately got a text message from him. "I'm thinking of you right know while..." that got me all heated up too. Oh god naiimagine ko what he's doing right now...

Oh shit andyan nga pala si Julianne. I soaked myself in the bath and washed up quick. I got out in my bathrobe and went to the bedroom.

"So, who was it?" tanong agad ni Julianne.

"Wala. Old foil na yun." While brushing my hair.

"Sinong niloko mo? Wala kang boylet the past months. At hindi ka nagdadala ng lalaki dito sa bahay ninyo. Sino nga? Andito si Tyler?"

"Kadiri ka ha. You know I don't give pity fcks."

"Sino nga yun?"

"Wala, some random guy. One time lang yun. I don't even know him well." Totoo naman.

"Fine fine. How was it?" jusko nanghingi pa ng details.

"It was... really good." Naisip ko tuloy kagabi. Erase, erase! Change topic!! Saan ba tayo pupunta? Bakit ka nandito?"

"Well, pwde tayo mag-mall o puntahan natin si Nadine sa office nila. Oo nga pala,  sumama daw si Zeke sa Manaoag? That guy doesn't even go to church tapos sumama sa Manaoag? So early pa naman yun alis ninyo diba?"

Crappity crap crap! KALABASA!

"Ah oo." Less talk, less mistakes. Suklay suklay pa, Zelene.

"Eh sabi niya, eh what time na daw yun nakauwi... tulog na tulog nga daw ngayon... TEKA LANG... ZELEEEEENE!!!..." nabingi ata ako. Patili niyang sinabi ang pangalan ko. Ilan octaves ata yun.
