Night Like You.

Starry Night

Cherry's POV

"HAHAHAHHAHA i know right! Gosh I wanna smack his ass so bad."
I exclaimed as we talk about Captain America.

"Calm down, Cherry."
Tian chuckled.

Kinuha na namin yung drinks at naghanap kay Eugene. We noticed him as he waved his hands. Tian and I approached him and placed our drinks on the table as we sat down.

Maya-maya, umabot na din si Tine with our burgers.

"Thanks guys."
Tian and Eugene said.

We began to eat.

"Guys, since first day of school pa at wala pang masyadong assignments, quizzes o ano, let's hangout at my rooftop after classes?"
Aya ni Tine.

I clap my hands excitedly.

"Yes yes! Let's watch the stars and talk deep shits and all!"
I exclaimed.

"I'm up for that."
"Me too."
Eugene and Tian said.

----------------------------
Time skip to dismissal

"Tara guys, let's wait for Eugene first then we'll go."
Tine said.

Tian and I nodded as we went out of the room and wait at the hallway.

Eugene waved as he approached.

"LET'S GOOOO!"
I shouted as I hang my arms around Tian and Eugene's shoulders.

Hindi naman masyado malayo ang bahay nila Tine, kaya sometimes dun ako magstandby if bored. Kaya naglakad lang kami habang nag-uusap.

"Kamusta first day of school niyo?"
Tanong ko habang nakatingin kay Tian at Eugene.

"It was splendid, indeed. Everyone was friendly, the day was productive and I got to meet you guys!"
Eugene smiled at me, then at them.

kinikilig ang palaka!

"Ako din, sana ganito hanggang sa dulo, ayoko mastress hahahaha."
Tian laughed as he ruffled my hair.

I growled at him.

"Mabuti naman at nagustohan niyo so far."
Tine said in monotone as he grabbed Tian's hand(the one ruffling my hair) and forced high-five him.

"Ah nandito na pala tayo!"
I hurriedly took my shoes off and grabbed my key as I open the door.

"Hoy babae! Parang ikaw ang may-ari ng bahay ko ah."
Tawa ni Tine. I made faces at him as I turned the lights on.

"Hala hindi pa pala tayo kumakain.."
Sabi ko habang tumunog ng tiyan ko.

"Oh.. yeah we haven't."
Eugene said softly as he went inside, followed by Tian as he closed the door.

"Sige magluto muna ako, hotties umupo muno kayo sa sofa."
Sabi ni Tine.

"Okay—"
"Hindi ka kasali Ry, tulongan mo ako rito."

okay fiiiine.

Eugene and Tian chuckled as they waved and walked their way to the sofa, turning the television on and watching spongebob. wait spongebob.

"Ano iluluto natin momsh?"
Tanong ko kay Tine as we walk to the kitchen.

"Omelet atsaka Cheesedog, paborito mo."
Sabi niya as he cooed and pinch my cheeks.

Hindi ako bata!

"Hindi ako bata Tine! And thank you uwu!"
I teasingly said.

"Gurl you did not just said that— ok kunin mo eggs at cheesedog mo sa refrigerator."
Tine said as I excitedly opened the ref.

"Ikaw magluto sa omelet Tine, di ako marunong hehe."
Hiyang sabi ko.

"Sure, ikaw lang sa cheesedog."

"Aye aye captain!"
I salute at him as I prepare for the pan, oil and turned the stove on.

Si Tine naman busy sa pagprepare sa omelet, cutting vegetables at ano pa.

Once the oil is hot, ready na akong ilagay ang cheesedog sa pan nang biglang may kamay sa waist ko.

"Mag-ingat ka magluto girl, mag-apron ka muna."
Sabi niya sabay tali sa apron sa waist ko, at nilagay ang string sa ulo ko.

"Thanks.."
Sabi ko at nilagay na ang cheesedog.

I hum habang nagluluto ako since gusto ko talaga ng music. At nang naluto na, nilagay ko ito sa plato. At dito nagtatapos ang Cooking Lessons 101 ng Tita niyong si Cherry.

Nang natapos na ako, si Tine naman ang nagluto.

Grabe may talent talaga tong babae to! Swerte ang mapapangasawa niya! O lalaki basta.

"Done!"
He said at nilagay namin ang pagkain sa lamesa.

"Gene! Tian! Kain na tayo!"
Sigaw ko sa kanila. Pinatay(rip) nila ang TV at umupo.

Katabi ko si Eugene, si Tian at Tine naman sa harap ko.

"Wow, smells good!"
Tian smiled.

Nagpray kami at kumain. Napakasharap!!

Nang natapos na kami, I stood up and voluntarily washed the dishes.

"Hey Cherry, allow me to help you."
Eugene said as he follow me to the kitchen.

"Thank you Gene."

"My pleasure."

So we began washing the dishes, ako ang naghuhugas, siya ang nagsasabon, while si Tine at Tian naghanda sa mga kuna sa rooftop para mahiga.

"And... done! Come on now, let's join them."
Eugene smiled as I nodded. I pat my wet fingers sa skirt ko, at pumunta sa taas.

Nashock ako sa nakita ko.

"TINE?!"

"AY KABAYO! ANO?"

"BAKIT WALA PANG UNAN?"

"Akala ko ba kung anong malaking problema mo bwiset ka talaga. Nandiyan ang mga unan oh, sa tabi ni Tian."
Sabay snob ni Tine.

Eugene chuckled and so we settled down, lay and get ourselves comfortable.
(arrangement)
CHERRY  | TIAN  | EUGENE  |  TINE

"Wow, napakaganda nga talaga dito, with all the stars, the soft breeze... Perfect.."
Tian smiled softly.

The rest of us hummed in agreement.

"Guys, I know ngayon lang tayo nagkakila, but I feel like I've known you guys for the longest. I'm so comfortable hanging out with you."
Tian said.

Something he said made my heart happy, and that's exactly what I feel right now.

"Yeah, me too."
Eugene agreed.

Nang biglang tumayo si Tine.

"Eugene pwede exchange tayo? Ayoko kase sa gilid eh hahahaha."
Tine said.

"Oh sure, not a problem."

Eugene just rolled over to the side, and Tine laid down between Tian and Eugene.

"Alam niyo, napakagusto ko talaga ng mga stars. Kahit na alam ko kung ano sila, para sa akin gusto kong isipin na ang mga bituin sa langit ay mga taong nagbantay sa atin at gumagabay. Na kahit wala kang kasama, alam mong nandiyan sila palagi."
Sabi ko.

"Hmmm.. Kahit na alam kong hindi ko sila maabot, napakaganda parin nila tignan. At satisfied na ako dun."

Seryosong sabi ni Tine.
