"So what brings you here iho? Its a bit late."
Tanong ni mama in the middle of dinner. Nilunok muna ni Luke yung kinakain nya bago sumagot
"Magpapatulong po kasi ako kay Shantelle sa project ko."
I look at him shockly,
"Project? I never heard one before." I shrugged off.
"Uh no babe..," pinunasan nya muna ung bibig nya, "Dad asked me to make a speech regarding with the continuation of Uncle Tom's project, remember that?" napaisip naman ako.
"The one connected with the OC?" I asked.
"Yep! Samantha's dad offered a bigger money but in return, OC will be handling the whole 'thing'." He gestured while saying the thing.
"Ohh... yeah I heard that before. Sam says we'll be more busy."
I looked at mom whose eating her food, "remember when Sam came here? Thats what she told me. " I told her and she nodded her head.
"So whats the project? The speech I guess?" I asked jokingly.
"Yes and this.." he leaned over to show us a folder he was holding a while ago. He opened it and brought out an invitation card I guess.
"Please tita, your very much invited." Then he showed it to us.
"Ofcourse iho." Uminom muna si mama ng tubig bago magsalita ulit. "Im coming."
"Uhh hello? Im here.." I interupted them, "In case you didnt notice, my presence is also here." I glared at Luke as they both chuckled.
"You invited my mother not even asking of Im coming?" I raised my eyebrow,
"And your freaking invitation was specifically named for her? I cant believe you."
I ranted. He laugh and I also heard mama supressing a chuckle.
"Babe, ofcourse you dont need an invitation, because automatically you'll be there either you want it or you want it.. "
Then he laugh.
"Pssh! Ano namang susuotin ko don?" I asked.
"Tita narinig nyo po yon?" He asked mom.
"Ohmygod Luke! What have you done to my princess? Bring her back to me.."
Ok nasosobrahan na sila sa pag ka OA hindi ko na maitindihan.😏
"Ughhh!! Whats your problem guys? Im just asking." I groaned.
"Thats it babe. You are asking.. its just a new thing."
A-uhhh I get it now. Im asking what to wear and it really is a new thing, a damn new thing😏
"Hahahahaha," narinig namin si mama tumawa ng malakas, "You silly kids! I never knew what I could be, without you in my life."
I frown, seriously? nagtanong lang kaya ako.
"But seriously, aako na bahala sa isusuot mo princess. Just help Luke here with his absurd project." Then she glance at Luke, "its just a speech son, having difficulty with it?"
I continued my food while listening to them,
"Tita its just that, ...
...
...
...Ughh! I dont even know what to say in a speech. It alwaus sounds so formal to the hundreth level." He groaned,
I look at mom when I heard her laugh at him.
"Yes you milenials! Hahahahahaha," I look at her flatly, "in our time, theres no such thing as formality. Its the only way we had to communicate. Unlike this generations?" Uminom muna sya ng tubig,
"Andami nyong pagpipilian, informal, casual, even coloqial was now considered as language" mahabang sabi nya..
"Meron pa nga akong mga nakikita sa social media na jeje ba un? Chaka yung isa pa, gaylang? Gayling??"
"Hahahaha tita its Gaylingo, thats the language used by gays."
"Ahh," mama nodded. "And that jeje?"
Natatawa ako dahil parang anghirap sa kanyang mag explain,.
"Jeje is,,,"
"Jeje is just adding some coquettish term in a language, wannaBes' are commonly the one who uses it," I said as I got up from my seat.
"Mom dont forget your tea, its meat remember," sabi ko sabay turo sa ulam.
"And you.." I pointed Luke, "go to the rooftop, I'll just go get my lappy."
"Yes boss" he saluted as he ran towards the staircase..
"Childish!" I murmured.
"Ate Tess, ikaw na bahala jan ahh, iuwi mo na lang yang tirang ulam." Narinig kong sabi ni mama habang paakyat nako,
Then may naalala ako kaya napabalik ako sa kitchen. Mama is making her usual tea,,
" uhh-- ate Tess? Pwedeng paki plantsa nung PE uniform ko?" I asked in a cute tone..
"Sure Miss," she said then smiled.
"Thanks, lavyah," I said then turn around. "Love you too Mom, dont be jelly!" I shouted.. then I heard them giggled as I walk..
I went to my room and grab my laptop. I opened it to delete the search window, you know, its all about learning how to cook.
Ngayon naalala ko na andami ko palng sugat, dahil sa kanina..
I charge my phone before I got out.. nasa hagdan pa lang ako ng fourth floor, narinig ko na ung boses ni Luke na kumakanta. Mas lalo tuloy akong inantok sa boses nya..
"Ok Mister,! quit singing and start with your thing. Its getting late," I said.
Kiss me like you wanna be love,
Wanna be love,
Wanna be love...
This feels like fallin inlove,
Fallin in love..
Fallin in love..
Settle down with me,
And I'll be your safety,
Youll be my lady,.
He grabbed my left hand and placed it on his lips..
"Can I have the privilege to be your partner on that evening?" He asked then bend down his upper body,
"Hahahaha cheeziness overload," I giggled "of course my prince," then I pinch the crook on his nose.
"But before that date night, lets prepare your speech.
Make me proud huh," I pinch his cheek, before pulling a lawn chair.,
But before I can seat he pulled me close to him and reach my lips..
Song: Kiss Me by edsheeran😘
