"Hey!" Naalimpungatan ako sa mahinang pagtapik sa balikat ko at sa paghatak ng kumot.
"Ano ba!?" Iritableng inagaw ko kay Louella yung kumot ko. Inaantok pa ko e. Ang aga aga nya mambulahaw. I'm entitled for eight-hours sleep.
"Alli bear, it's already six in the morning. C'mon, wake up. I told you that we've got plans for today di ba? Bangon ka na. Nakapagluto at nakaligo na nga ako, tulog ka pa." Kulit pa nito na sige pa din yung hatak sa kumot ko. Naaamoy ko pa yung bath soap na ginamit nya. Halatang fresh at katatapos nya lang din maligo.
"How come that we've got plans together na ikaw lang ang nagplano?" inaantok na tanong ko pabalik dito. At sa sobrang inis ko dahil di ko mahatak dito yung kumot ay sya na lang mismo yung hinatak ko at saka niyakap at ginawang unan. "It's your fault that I am still sleepy. Let me sleep more."
She's so soft and warm. Not that bad. Kanya na yung kumot.
Ito naman ay tila nakaprogram na hinatak lang din ako payakap at pumulupot yung mga kamay sa bewang ko.
This feels so nice.
"C'mon, Alli bear. Ngayon na lang ako nagkaroon ng ganito kadaming oras. You should really grab the opportunity that I am not doing anything yet at the moment."
Nakapikit lang ako. I am still grabbing the moment that she's this close and giving. Can't she see that this thing that we are doing right now is also a rare chance too?
She's a big persona too. I can't even imagine na yung gaya nito ay gagawa ng mga household chores. Louella is someone who is accustomed in getting the bestest of the best because she's one of the best in her own craft. Tapos dito sa unit namin, normal na tao na lang ito. Not the well-known trickster in the business industry nor the CEO of Calvry's Group of companies. She's just Louella, Alliston Parker's girlfriend. A dutiful one, if I may add.
"Aren't you really going off to work, Pooper? Isang linggo ka ng nagkakampo dito sa bahay. Wala ka naman ibang ginagawa." pasimpleng tanong ko. Careful not to offend her.
"Nagiging pabigat na ba ko?"
Umaangat yung mukha ko para silipin yung mukha nito. Pakiramdam ko, this bitchy face right in front of me is starting to look like a devil from hell that's making me feel what heaven feels like. She's too good to be true. Too gorgeous to be real. Am I really having her?
Yeah, Jen. I am really lucky.
"No." I slightly shook my head. "Not at all. In fact, you're making my life easier and comfty mula ng lumipat ka dito. I am just worried that the sudden change in your..." Napabuntong-hininga ako. She's used into being busy. Baka kaya napakasipag nito dito sa bahay ay para hindi ito madepress dahil sa biglaang pagbabago sa way of living nito.
Saka not that I am complaining. Sino pa ba magrereklamo kung laging malinis yung unit mula ng lumipat sya? Tapos lagi pang may pagkain dahil masipag din naman pala itong magluto. At ang isa pang ikinatutuwa ko dito ay hindi ito nagrereklamo sa tambak na laundry namin.
Masyado na ngang kaclose ito nila Terry at Van. Pag umaalis na kasi sina Sammie at Leigh ng mga unit ng mga ito ay lumilipat na dito samin yung dalawa para makikain ng mga niluluto ni Pooper. At itong babaeng ito naman ay natutuwa doon sa dalawang iyon. Madalas pa nga itong makipagkwentuhan kahit wala naman kakwenta kwenta ang pinag uusapan nila.
But I don't want Louella to give up on her own dreams just because of me. She's great! It's a shame to hindrance her growth. She hasn't reached her full potential yet.
"You're just becoming a nobody, Pooper bear. Aren't you planning to do something worthwhile?"
"I am doing something worthwhile, Alli. Spending time with you is worthy of my time. Hindi ba mahalaga iyon? If plan to take our relationship seriously, everything that I am doing is a must."

ChickLit"Change your clothes." Napatingin ako sa suot ko. It's just a knee-length simple dress. Formal naman para sa meeting namin ngayon kasama ng mga investor nya. Sinundo na nya ako sa unit dahil lagi akong nalelate. "Problema mo ba? I'm decent. It's no...
