We all went to the storage room to pick up our supplies and I was pleased to see a hand of bananas, a bottle of peanut butter and two loaves of sliced bread on the counter.
But much to my dismay, they decided to have scrambled eggs for breakfast. I volunteered to cook breakfast just so I could sneak some ingredients for the promised sandwich.
It didn't take long for us to prepare the table as everyone was fast on their seats.
There was just one teeny tiny thing that I forgot to prepare, I had underestimated how others would look through this 'exclusivity' that I was giving to Franki as all eyes peered at the 'peculiar' sandwich on Franki's plate.
What? Did they expect me to make one for each of them?
"Bakit ako, walang ganon?" Sky had dared to finally point out as he pouted at me. Gago ang oily ng nguso nya and I had to grind my teeth so I could stop myself from fake gagging.
"Meron pa namang bananas tsaka bread sa shelf, pwede ka pang gumawa ng sayo if you want." I deadpanned as I placed some scrambled eggs on Franki's plate.
"Thanks, Diana." Franki smiled at me, she started devouring her food without a care to her surroundings. And obviously, Franki had no idea what was being discussed right now. I bet she was too hungry to even butt in and I couldn't help but smile, my unbothered queen was such a cutie.
"Diana?" kalabit nanaman sakin ni Sky.
"Ano?" I replied, my interest to answer whatever question he'd ask was nowhere to be found.
"Kako bakit si Franki lang yung ginawan mo ng sandwich?" He comically said. Parang tanga.
I knew he was only doing this for our entertainment but was he for real? I wasn't even a bit entertained, I was more annoyed. Like could he just thank me for cooking the damn breakfast for all of us? Nagmumuka pa kong nanlalamang ng supplies sa mga tirada nya.
I felt everyone's eyes on me, including Franki who was probably just curious over her name being mentioned, "What did he say?" I heard Franki asked.
I was quick to face Franki, "He was asking me why didn't I make him a sandwich..." I told her with my softest voice before facing Sky, "...Franki has lent me a shoulder earlier so as a token of gratitude, I made a sandwich for her."
I clarified to him, I didn't even have to.
"Awww. That's so cute." Franki cooed and just like that, my mood went bright again.
Everyone seemed to understand it as they nodded and moved on-- except Sky who kept on acting like a child sulking over the table. If he was doing this just so the editor could make a drama out of this then I had to roll my eyes at his fuckery.
The breakfast went on with everyone either sharing their stories or throwing some nonsense remarks. I, on the other hand, tuned out their voices as I figured out how would I steer us clear of the tragedy ahead of us.
Kung hindi kami makakasama ni Franki sa last eight housemates then we wouldn't have to be there sa mall show na yon, right?
But Franki couldn't see me yet as her lover. I was just a mere housemate for her at this moment so kapag ako ang na-unang ma-evict sa aming dalawa, baka basta nalang sya i-loveteam or worse ma-fall pa sa isa sa boys dito. I can't let that happen.
What if I nominate her nalang sa nomination night tapos mag voluntary exit ako the next day? Right! then I'd try to win her heart in the outside world--- in the real world.
Maybe by this, we wouldn't be obliged to keep our relationship hidden just because of a love team.
