Be Mine

10

Lianna was awaken by the sound of her doorbell's non-stop buzzing, thinking it was an emergency, she rushed to the front door while tying the robe around her. "Coming!", she yells and combed her hair with her fingers. She opened the door and all she heard next was the voice of her friends.

"Hay, finally! Binuksan din!", says an impatient Bianca
"Liaaaaaa!", her friend Ella screams.

"Ella! Oh my gosh!" and welcomes her with a tight hug.

Bianca just found herself giggling at her friends who haven't seen each other for months, "Pwedeng papasukin mo na kami, girl?", she demands.

She opened the door widely and her bestfriends went straight inside the unit. She saw them putting some paperbags on the table, which she assumes are food. She's watching them move around and realized what she looks like so early in the morning.

"Wait lang. Akala ko ba brunch? Bakit ang aga niyo? Atsaka bakit dito? Sabi ni Bianca sa cafe tayo kasi gusto ni Ella ng carbonara. Plus bakit - "

Before she can even continue, Bianca cuts her off, "Hoy, Lianna! Okay ka lang ba?"

"Ha?", was all she could say.

Ella goes near her while giggling, "Hay nako, Lia. Ganito na lang. You go inside the bathroom, take a shower and then come back. Kami na bahala dito. Sige na..", as she gets pushed towards her room. Still confused, she follows what they said and went in. She checked her phone before heading inside the bathroom.

10 missed calls and all are from Bianca. 15 messages still from Bianca and one from Gary. She didn't care about the ones from her friend and clicked on Gary's.

"Hi, Hon. I won't be able to see you today. Please take care. Call you later."

She sighs but expected this to happen especially when he said that his Dad is home. She knows that he will be stressed with work and would probably go home to the mansion instead of the condo. She replied with,"Okay. I understand. I will wait for your call. I love you." , and puts down her phone to head to the bathroom. She checked the time and saw that it was almost 11am. She really did overslept, maybe because she was really tired the day before. She heads to the shower and in ten minutes, she was already in a white shirt and shorts and had applied a few skin care products to complete her routine. She went out of her room seeing Bianca and Ella has fixed the table.

"Dinala niyo ba yung buong cafe dito?", she asks the girls.

"Ito kasing si Ella eh, in-order lahat.", as Bianca puts the carbonara on a bigger plate.

"Sorry, Lia, I just really missed your food!", Ella gave her cute pout.

"At itong babaeng ito, ang yaman yaman pero hindi nagbayad! Charge ko daw sayo, teh!", Bianca spills to Lianna.

Lianna giggles, "It's fine, Bianca. Minsan lang naman ito umuwi.", and gives Ella a side hug. She really missed her.

"Thanks, Babe! Kaya favorite kita eh.", replies Ella.

"Wow! Nakakahiya naman doon sa nagpasundo sa akin kaninang alas-otso para lang pumunta dito. Ginawa akong driver!"

Lianna looks at her friends. She missed this noisy banter between them.

"Alam mo, Bianca.. ang dami mong complaints pagkatapos mong i-arbor yung Louis Vuitton ko na purse."

"Okay fine. Saan ka pa ba magpapahatid? Marami akong time today."

She giggles and decided to butt in before anything gets personal, "Hay nako, tama na nga yan! Para maniwala ako, kumain na tayo. Nagugutom na rin ako."
