DAWN
We got home and Richard looks like a kid na napagalitan he has his head down he was so guilty. But I can't blame him it was me who decided to stay as far away as possible, "Richard" i called his name when I was near the back door cause I need to finish a sculpture eh kaya back to work agad. He looked at me he was in the living room "I'll be more hands on from now on" I said and went ahead to the room.
The project I'm currently making is a make it or break it piece, I never told Richard but sinali ako ni Carl sa isang competition here in Asia and whoever winds gets a $200,000 price and a feature in one of Asia's leading art magazine. This will do me good in the future I told myself when I agreed to do it that's why Carl and I have been talking
more than usual. I remember one of our convos
How's married life?-C
Are we not going talk about the sculptire?-D (I'm trying to divert the convo kasi naman lahat nalang sila puro how's your married life, EH WALA NGANG ACTION)
Why Dawn, is it on the rocks na ba?-C (he was laughing)
No, we're just trying to settle our differences-D
Dawn, I know from the sound of your voice, you're lying-C
I am not!-D (medyo naiinis ako kasi totoo)
Pero always remember I will be waiting for you-C
Carl eto ka nanaman-D
You don't love each other Dawn, give me a chance-C
You know what we have and that's it, I wouldn't cheat on him-D
It's not cheating if you don't even feel anything for each other-C (he's being persuassive and mas madiin na tono ng bosses)
Alam mo if that's all we're going to talk about let's end this nalang-D
Osige, basta Dawn if he ever does anything to you tell me-C
I can hear the challenge from his voice and I know that he would fight Richard to the death this conversation happened after Richard got drunk. I wouldn't tell Carl, I couldn't kaya kay Tine ko lang sinabi kahit naman chikadora si gaga eh bff ko padin siya so I know she will keep it a secret.
It was already 8pm and I was getting hungry, usually by this time the maids are free to do whatever they want dahil 2 nga lang kami ni Richard sa malaking bahay na ito at madami sila ay pag ganitong oras tulog na sila. I didn't want to bother them kaya I just heated a meal sa microwave then went out to smoke. "Hmmm yosi girl ka padin" a voice said "it's a habit I don't think it will go away easily" i replied and he stood next to me and took the cigarette "ahhhh, cigarettes taste better after touching your lips" Richard said and gave it back to me.
We were looking at the pool he feels so warm beside me "masarap talaga ako" I teased "aba mukha nga" he looked at me up and down "dawn, what do you mean you will be more hands on?" Oh god I didn't think he would prod more sa sinabi ko "well" i faced him "i don't want you brandishing you mistresses sa mga tao dito, kita mo confused na sila" i took a huff from the cigarette "you were the one who said you don't want dati diba" "oo nga pero it doesn't mean na you are free to just parade your girls" at nasasaktan ako Richard kasi kasal padin tayo kahit anong mangyare
"How would I know na they're that smart" he said and took the cigarette "Don't judge a book by it's cover" i countered "well if you're going to be more hands on, how?" He was trying to intimidate me by putting his face close to me "sasamahan kita, anywhere" "hmm anywhere ha" he smiled "oh bat nakangiti ka?" "Wala lang" he said and stepped on the cigarette "huh mahaba pa yun" namghihinayang kong sabi "i heard the microwave beep" he said. We went in and I ate my dinner.
At ayun parang sa bataan lang nakatitig nanaamn saakin "ano nanaman?" I said with my brows raised "do you like me" he said, I laughed and choked "what kind of question is that?" "Well natandaan mo noon diba sabi mo for show lang to?" "Oo bakit?" I said and drank some water "can we turn it into reality?" Na ubo nanaman ako "oh parang napapadalas pag choke mo ah" he said "ikaw kasi funny" i nervously said and he winced "i'm serious" "Richard, if you want to turn it into a reality mag effort ka" I said and stood up to wash the dishes. Lumapit din siya "ako na" he said and I let him because I'm tired nadin
Sa totoo lang natatawa ako sa gusto ni Richard mangyari but it can also be a possibilty but he would have to work reeeeeaallly hard for it "what made you want to make this real?" I asked while watching him put the plate away "kasi" he stalked towards me and ayun nanamn jusko nilagay kamay sa magkabilaan ko, trapped nanaman ako
RICHARD
"Don't be scared, I'm sobber" I said kasi naka lean back siya sobra sa counter top dahil don siya umatras "i just want to" i can feel her heartbeat and I was looking at her lips the few times I've kissed it sobrang chinerish ko kaso that one night doesn't count "ano to laro?" Galit nanaman "hah hindi no" i laughed "eh bakit ka tumatawa?" I leaned closer "you have that charm against me" "charm mo mukha mo" she pushed my face away nung mas nilapit ko mukha ko sakanya.
Pumapanik na siya sa hagdan "seryoso ako" sigaw ko sakanya "we'll see" sabi niya at pumasok na sa kwarto. Bwisit to si Dawn, why does she always think that I'm not serious? i'm into her if only things didn't turn sour the night she got here eh baka buntis na ngayon to. Since sa bataan palang nagustuhan ko na siya eh kaya siguro nung gabing nalasing ako ay... hindi ko na talaga napigilan ang sarili ko kaya ganoon. I went to my room nadin to sleep but stalked Dawn's sculpting instagram kasi dito ko kang nakikita finished products niya since the buyers ship it to them immediately.
