Ang tagal kong nakatitig sa comment niya. Sinapo ko yung dibdib ko nung tumibok ito ng napakalakas. I blinked twice when his comment disappeared. Ilang ulit ko pa itong rinefresh pero wala na talaga.

Akala ko ligtas na ako sa mga pang aasar ng mga kaibigan ko pero nagulat nalang ako nung nag send si Ayna ng screenshot nun. They started talking about it.

Ayna: Wala! Bby pala e hahahaha

Gail: Hindi to magrereply, patay na siguro sa kilig hahaha

Kevin: Jusko may endearment na pala eh! Traydor! Hindi nagsasabi

Lysa: Alive ka pa ba girl?

Krissa: Hinga ng malalim sis!

Kahit isa sakanila hindi ko rineplyan. Mag iingay lang sila at baka mas lalo nila akong asarin. Pinatong ko yung phone ko sa tiyan ko habang tahimik na nakatingin sa kisame ko. I startled when my phone started ringing. Agad akong napaupo nung makita ko ang pangalan ng caller. Pinaypayan ko ang sarili bago tumikhim at sinagot yun.

"Hello?" I relaxed myself so that I won't stutter.

[Hey] he huskily greeted. Lumunok ako. Naimagine ko siya sa ibabaw ng kama niya. I bit my lower lip when we're left with no topic. Parehas kaming tahimik at tanging paghinga lang namin ang naririnig.

[Can't sleep, how about you?] his phone voice sounds so sweet and hot!

"I.. uh can't too"

[Vc?] oh my god!

"Yeah sure," I ended the call and logged into my messenger.

Ilang segundo lang ang hinintay ko para dumating yung tawag niya. Pinag ring ko pa yun ng ilang beses para hindi halatang hinihintay ko ang tawag niya. Agad na bumungad saakin ang nakahigang Theron. He's half naked. Magulo yung buhok niya at may mapupungay na mata.

Nanatili kaming nakatitig sa screen ng mga phone namin. I bit the inside of my cheek when I realized how awkward I was to him. It's just a comment but my heart's beating so fast.

"Uhm.."

"[Okay na yang ulo mo?]" he asked concerned.

"Oo, thank you"

"[Do you feel awkward? About uh.. that comment?]" finally he asked!

I looked away while thinking of what I'm gonna say. Awkward nga ako pero isang parte saakin ang nagsasabing okay lang. He can even call me whatever he wants!

"Kunti lang but it's okay"

Binalik ko ang tingin ko sa screen. He's just staring at me with a small smile on his face.

"[Bby,]" pota, nahulog yung puso ko!

"Stop it!" I tried to hide my face in my pillow.

He's just laughing hard at my reaction. Paulit ulit niya pang binanggit yun hanggang sa makatulog ako. I slept with my phone on. Pagkagising ko tuloy low bat na yung phone ko. Chinarge ko muna ito bago naisipang bumaba para kumain ng almusal. Madami pa naman akong time.

Mom is busy preparing our breakfast. Wala pa sila Dad at yung kambal. I watched her do her thing. What I love about my mother is that she's still preparing our meal even if we already have maids. She once told me that family should be like that. Kung kaya pa naman niya bakit hindi niya gawin diba?

"Good morning,"

"Hi, anak. You're up early!" she said grinning.

"And you're early teasing me," I rolled my eyes.
