My eyes are still close. I felt something on my face so a grab the blanket and wrapped it around my body. Naramdaman kong may dumag-an sa dibdib ko.
"Hmm. Ano ba." I whispered. Hindi tumigil ang bagay na iyon. Inalis ko ang taklob sa mukha ko at uti-uting minulat ang mata. I saw Snow waggling her tail. She started licking my face and bark.
"Stop. Snow get off." I laughed when she licked my face again. My eyes roamed around the familiar room. Ah oo nga pala. I yawned and scratched my head. I'm at Mago's condo. Sa sobrang lakas ng ulan kagabi ay dito n'ya ako inuwi. I glanced at the wall clock and saw that it's already 10:30 in the morning.
I stretched my arms and get up. "Where's your dad?" I carried Snow and kissed her forehead. I'm wearing the shirt and boxer shorts that Mago gave last night dahil basang-basa ang damit ko. Ang tagal pa n'yang naglambing kagabi bago magpaalam na matulog sa kabilang kwarto. Gising na kaya 'yon?
I took my phone and scrolled through my dm's. Tinatamad akong lumabas. Kinalong ko si Snow para magselfie. I send it to Mago.
@itsmejessi
Mago r u awake?
He didn't reply so I assume that he's still sleeping. Tuluyan na akong bumangon at naghilamos. While tying my hair, I opened the door and walk out. Binitbit ko si Snow. Naabutan ko si Mago sa living room, nakatayo sa gilid ng couch habang hawak and remote. Akala ko tulog pa 'to? He was crossing his arms habang seryosong nakatutok sa t.v.
Marahan akong naglakad papalapit sa kanya. I slowly wrapped my small arms around his waist and hugged him tightly from behind. I sniffed. Bango! He glance at me through his shoulders when he noticed my presence.
"Morning." I sweetly whispered. My forehead creased when I saw his expression. "What's the frown for? Ang aga ha." I said. Lalo s'yang ngumuso at itinuro ang t.v kaya sumilip ako mula sa likod n'ya.
"Bryan Lim and Jessica Sotto, proudly showed their sweetness on the League: Game for a Cost last night."
"Eww what the heck?!" I hissed. "What kind of headline is that?" I frowned too when I saw the picture of me and Bryan kissing. I removed my arms from him and blinked my eyes.
"Naaasar na ako sa pagmumukha n'yan. Pag ako nabwisit ayain ko 'yan ng suntukan tignan mo." He flicked his tongue at hinawi ang manggas ng t-shirt. "Ang corny sino nagcover ng balitang 'to." He walked towards the coffee table and took is phone.
"Kilala ko pala 'yang nagrereport na 'yan." He bit his lips ang typed something. "Ipapatanggal ko s'ya sa trabaho bwiset." He dialed someone on his phone. Nakatitig s'ya sa akin habang hinihintay sagutin ang tawag.
"Hoy Tony." He said from the other line. "Hindi ka ba mahal ng nanay mo?" He puts his hand on his waist. "Anong hangal? Ikaw ang hangal siraulo. Tanggalin mo nga report mo tungkol kay Lim ha. Bobo ka nagkakalat ka ng fake news gago." Lumapit ako sa kanya para makiusyoso.
"Hindi n'ya girlfriend asa pa s'ya! Ipapatanggal kita sa trabaho mo pag hindi mo tinanggal 'yon." Mas lalo s'yang nainis. "Ang kulit mo sinabi nang hindi. Ako ang boyfriend ni Jessic-" I immediately put my hand on his mouth. I took the phone and ended the call.
"Bakit mo pinatay?" He asked. Inilapag ko ang phone n'ya sa coffee table. "Ide-deny mo ako?"
I immediately smile to console him. "Of course not. I will never." He raised his brow. I sighed. "I want a private relationship okay?" I showed him my pleading eyes. "Kapag maraming nakaka-alam gumugulo eh. Let's keep it private but let's not deny it. Please Mago?" I said. "We don't need to tell our whereabouts to other people. Let them find it themselves"
