When Playboy Meets The Odd

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

MONSERRAT

"Happy Weeksary!" I greeted her as soon as I open the door of my condo. Sage's jaw dropped. She looked at me amused.

"What–" Halos hindi maipagpatuloy ni Sage ang gusto niya sabihin. I know she likes my gift.

She immediately walk towards the small rectangular aquarium. She didn't even looked at the wall. It say's 'Happy Weeksary' with glitters and stuffs.

"He's so cute!" Kaagad niyang kinuha ang isa sa mga dalawang caterpillar na nasa loob.

"How do you know that it's a 'he'?" Sage rolled her eyes.

"Just decide. He looks like a 'he', so he's a 'he'. This one is a 'she'." Aniya. I laughed at what she said. She's still weird that's why I like her more. He can make someone laugh just because of her words. She's a bunch of energy.

"You're not afraid of that?" Tanong ko. She looked at the caterpillar's face.

"Nope." She said.

"Pero sa tarantula, takot ka?" Kaagad naman itong kinilabutan.

"They're different, okay? I don't like animals with many legs." She put the caterpillar back in the aquarium. Dumako naman ang tingin ko sa dingding. I cleared my throat.

Sage looked at me so I pointed the wall. Bigla naman itong natawa. "What's that?" Tanong niya.

"You don't like it?" I asked. Binigyan niya ako ng makahulugang tingin.

"Gawa mo?" I nodded. Sinuri niya ang disenyo at napatango. "It's fine, I mean, it's cute." She said convincing myself.

Bumuntong hininga ko. Sabi ko na nga ba ayaw niya ng ganito eh.

She suddenly laughed from my reaction. "I am just joking. I love it!" Biro niya at sinalubong akong yakap. "I like everything from you. Thank you."

I smiled and hugged her tight. I kissed the top of her head. Everyday feels like heaven.

"I don't have a gift. I didn't know weeks were supposed to be celebrated in a relationship." She said and looked upon me without breaking the hug.

I kissed her nose. "It's fine. You can just make one now." Napahiwalay naman siya sa yakap nang marinig ang sinabi ko.

"What? You want me to make you a gift now? As in ngayon?" I nodded. Sage suddenly looked at me thinking. Bigla niya akong sinamaan ng tigin. "Don't tell me..."

I frowned from her reaction. What is she thinking?

"Is that the reason why we're here at 'your' condo?" She asked. She crossed her arms and gave me a meaningful look.

A sudden thought came into my mind. I laughed. "It's not like that." Pinangkitan niya ako ng mata. "Ikaw ha, ang dumi ng utak mo!" I said. Sage rolled her eyes.

"Pero pwede naman, I mean, if you like it." I said teasing her. Natigilan naman si Sage. I walk forward.

"What are you doing?" She asked suddenly confused. She took some steps behind and before I can even grabbed her hand she managed to ran.

Hinabol ko siya at kaagad ring nahuli. I grabbed her waist and pull her down the sofa.

"What are you doing?!" Reklamo niya.

I hugged her tight as we're now both lying on this sofa. I tickled her so she could face me. Nagatagumpay naman ako sa ginawa.

"Stop tickling me!" I stopped tickling her like what she said. I pulled her more closer and squeezed her in my arms. "Ouch!" I heard her said.
