When Playboy Meets The Odd

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

MONSERRAT

After all the begging, Sage allowed me to prove myself  by cleaning the living room. Inumpisahan kong ayusin at isninalansang ang mga kahon.

She watched me arranged the boxes in the corner so I can start vacuuming the floor. Pumunta siya sa kitchen at saka naupo sa may counter. I saw her grabbed some chips.

Tss. What a princess!

I picked up the things on the floor. Parang lahat ata ito tinapon niya sa mukha ko ha. I put the things on the coffee table and moved it at the corner.

I started turning on the vaccum. The floor is so dusty. Halos mangitim na sa alikabok.

I took a glance at Sage who's now reading while munching some chips. Sarap ng buhay ah!

"So you like reading?" Tanong ko para naman hindi ako mabored. I continue what I'm doing while waiting for her answer. It took her some seconds to speak.

"Obviously." She said while looking straight into her book.

I continue vaccuming the floor. Tinaas ko rin ang maruming carpet so I could clean what's under it.

"Nagbreakfast ka na ba?" Tanong ko nang maalalang ang aga ko nga pala pumunta dito. Since she's still wearing her pajama, I supposed she just woke up.

She didn't reply. Nilingon ko siya at patuloy lang siya sa pagbabasa. The book is covering her face. "You shouldn't eat chips if you're still not eating breakfast." Suway ko sa kanya. She didn't even stopped munching.

Nang matapos ang pagvavacuum sa ilalim ng carpet, ang ibabaw naman ng carpet ang vinaccuum ko. Sweats starts dripping onto my body. Dahil nakapolo pa ay mas lalo tuloy akong nainitan. I started stripping my polo. Nang matanggal ko ito at naka-plain white shirt na lang ay ninamnam ko ang lamig ang aircon. It feels so refreshing!

I put my polo on the sofa. "Hey, hey!" Napalingon ako sa nagsalita. "What do you think you're doing?" She finally speak.

"Cleaning?" Taka kong tanong.

"Don't put your things on my things!" Aniya. She pointed out my polo. "Take that away." Utos niya.

Kinuha ko naman ito. "Where will I put it then?" I asked.

"Kahit saan! Huwag lang sa ibabaw ng furnitures ko." Aniya. Kumunot ang noo ko. Saan ko ito ilalagay?

I suddenly thought for the shoe rack. Pumunta ako doon at ipinatong ang polo ko sa ibabaw ng sapatos ko.

"Where, did you put that thing?" Anito na para bang diring diri sa damit ko.

"On the shoe rack." Sabi ko. Aasta pa sana ito pero inunahan ko na. "On the top of my shoe. Happy?" I asked.

She didn't say anything but only gave me a glare. Pinagpatuloy ko naman ang ginagawa hanggang sa malinis ko na ng tuluyan ang buong salas.

Even with doubts, I still want to mop the floor, but I think it might be better if I should also mop the floor to the kitchen and other area.

I started vacuuming the floor in the kitchen. Sage took a glance at what I'm doing.

"Why are you vacuuming the kitchen floor? Sa salas ka lang di ba?" Aniya. "You're flexing yourself too much, just stick to the plan! If you think I will be impressed by that, then you're wrong!" Suplada niyang banggit.

Bumuntong hininga ako. "I want to mop the floor, okay? If I shall mop the floor on the living room then I should also mop the kitchen's floor and other areas. Hindi paisa-isa." I explained. "Don't worry, I will just stick to the living room after I cleaned the floor. Wala akong papakialaman sa kitchen o sa kahit anong sulok pa ng bahay mo." Sabi ko pa.
