A loud knock woke Astrid from deep sleep. She wasn't even sure if how did she was able to go home last night maybe because she was so tired that she didn't even squandered a single nick of time to think the whole thing that happened in the mansion.
She felt quite dizzy the moment she slowly sat on the side of her bed.
The persistent knocking annoys her!
"Sandale!!" Sigaw niya.
Binuksan niya ang pinto at bumungad sa kaniya ang mukha ni Genesis na nakasimangot na animo'y asong handang sumugod.
Mas lalo itong pumuti sa suot nitong white t-shirt na hapit na hapit sa kaniyang biceps, gray sweat shorts, at sneakers na puti.
Kumunot ang noo ni Astrid sa eskpresyon ng mukha ni Genesis na kahit siya ay nahihiwagaan sa ipinapakita nito ngayon.
"What?!" Nagtatakang tanong niya.
Genesis cocked his head like he was trying to communicate with her telepathically.
Nanlaki ang mata ni Astrid nang matandaan ang kanilang dinner kagabi in which she wasn't able to make it.
"Oh! Shit! I am really really sorry!" Ani ni Astrid akma itong yayakap kay Genesis nang pinigilan siya nito.
"Saan ka ba pumunta kagabi? I keep on calling you pero hindi ka sumasagot!" Wika ni Genesis habang nakapameywang.
"You didn't!" Kontra ni Astrid kahit hindi niya naman binuksan ang kaniyang cellphone kagabi upang icheck kung sino ang mga nag text sa kaniya.
"Yes I did!" Sagot ni Genesis, dire-diretso itong pumasok sa kaniyang kwarto at ibinagsak nito ang katawan sa sofa niya.
"Did you know na dalawa lang kami ni Levi nag dinner kagabi!" Dugtong pa nito , nagkrus ang kaniyang braso.
She heaved a deep sigh.
It was really her fault! Her deep obsession with Emilia's case is starting to blur out her relationship with her friends.
Lumapit siya kay Genesis at ginagap ang palad ng kaniyang kaibigan. "I am sorry, babawi ako sayo,"
Genesis' unexplainable facial expression slowly shifted like a cute puppy excitedly waiting for its master.
"You better be there!" Seryoso ang tinig nito habang pinipigilan nito ang pag ngiti.
She nodded. "Mabuti tumuloy pa rin kayo kahit wala ako 'no? So that means nag date pala kayo ni Levi kagabi?" Sumilay sa mukha niya ang isang mapanuksong ngiti.
"Dinner dapat pero nag mukhang date dahil dalawa lang kami!" Pag correct ni Genesis.
"Pero bagay kayo ni Levi! Change path ka na lang baka hindi ka talaga puwedeng mag girlfriend at dapat boyfriend ang sa'yo," panunukso niya.
Genesis shot a deadly glare at hindi na nito siya pinansin.
Astrid shut the door and went straight to her bed, she pounced there like she was a cougar lunging on its prey!
