Brianna Huangco's POV

"Oh my god. I love your taste, girl," Mystica giggled.

"Uy papy," Jaycee joined Mystica. "Ang gwaping non, bakla, ha?"

Tuloy lang kami sa pagkwentuhan at inuman until they got wasted. I had to stay sober so I could took care of them. I just send them to my room to rest there since ever since naman, eto na 'yung ginagawa namin.

As I left my room, I start cleaning up the sala and the kitchen 'cause it's a bit messy too. I finished cleaning at around 4 AM and I start feeling tired and sleepy so I rest in the sala first. I was about to sleep when I heard my phone rang. I took my phone and wallet then I went out of my condo to buy something in convenience store.

[Anna.] I heard manager called me.

"Yes, manager?" I answered as I close the door of my unit.

[Apratment 8 clothing invited us and wants to sponsor your dress for Katrina's upcomming media launch.] I heard him said as I enter the elevator and push the lobby button.

"Oh, really? Kailan daw?" I asked.

[We can go there anytime daw but let's go there by around 3 PM na lang later, ok?]

"Ok. Kailan daw pupunta sila Katrina?" I asked and suddenly remember if Katrina was invited too but I'm sure she is. It'll be unfair if she's not. It's her movie so she should be the one who wear the best dress.

[Actually about that, I wasn't sure if Katrina is. They only mentioned you. But they send it through email. No one knows kung sino pa ba mga nasendan nila ng email.] The elevator opened but I suddenly stop for a moment thinking of Katrina. I just came back to my senses when the elevator slowly closing so I immediately push the open button then I went out.

"Uhmm, Manager? Does it necessary that Apartment 8 clothing will sponsor me? I mean, can I reject their proposal? Since guest lang naman ako sa media launch," I bid.

I suddenly felt goosbumps when the cold air touches me as I went out of the building. It's kinda gloomy pa and I forgot to wear Jacket. I'm just in a white shirt and ngayon ko lang napansin na naka pajama pala ako. But it's kinda looks like a jogging pants so I just bear with it.

[You can't refuse it, Anna. At kahit pwede, hindi ako papayag. It's an opportunity and you shouldn't waste it.] I was about to talk againd but he immediately cut me off. [Sige na, at marami pa akong ginagawa. Go here before 3 PM, ok? Bye.] Then he hang up the call.

I let out of a heavy sighs first before I continue walking. I just pass one pedestrian in front of the building and I already reached the convenience store. I get some snacks and drinks then pay it at the counter. I also bought a cup noodles for myself and eat it inside the store.

I'm just eating in front of a glass wall while scrolling on my social media to do something when a man enter the store. It caught my attention since I'm a bit adjacent to the door. My eyes got wider when I saw senator enter the store. He's still in his suit but his coat was hangin on his forearm. His brows rose up and his mouth formed 'o' as he saw me too. I hugely smile as I saw him walking towards me.

"Hi, mag isa ka lang?" He asked. I moved a little then he sat besides me.

"Yeah. My friends are in my condo and they are so wasted. I just buy something here," I shared a moment.

"Hindi ka pa natutulog?" He asked a bit shocked.

"Nah, how about you? You're still in your suit when I visited you kanina. Kahapon pala since it's 4 na," I said.

"Hindi pa din. I finished some papers to attend Katrina's media launch," he said and fold his sleeves upto his elbow.

"You still have this day and tomorrow," sabi ko at inalukan sya ng kinakain ko.
