She was really surprised CJ is still at their house. She can still imagine how her heart broke for the nth time when she stalks Jusmaine's instagram acount just to find out she was in New York Fashion Week. Sa madaling salita, she was CJ's past time, a rebound. Someone to entertain himself because the bitch of a supermodel is out of town.
She heard the knews that she's back in the country and now working for this month's issue of some fashion magazine. Hell, Jusmaine is living her life and she's still a sore loser.
Alas sais na noon ng umaga. She decided to join Van for a run. Napilit na rin siya nito matapos siyang asarin na may kaunting bilbil na daw siya. She'd been stress eating lately and she's really gaining weight. Noong isang araw lang nag hoard siya ng peach mango pie sa Jollibee pagkatapos ay apple pie sa McDo. Nagwowork out naman siya noon but she's more of a cross-fit girl. She barely do cardio and she absolutely hates running.
She wore a nike yoga pants and a long sleeve pull over. Kumuha siya ng tubig mula sa ref bago isinalin iyon sa baso at ininom. CJ on the other hand was doing something with his laptop.
"Going somewhere?" He asked as he scan her from head to foot.
"Run." Tipid na sagot niya.
"With Van?" The bitter tone reached her ears and she could see the sad glimmer in his eyes.
"Yeah." Tipid na sagot niya.
"Mag-ingat ka." Iyon lang at bumalik na ito sa ginagawa.
She felt confused even more. Ever since they got back from Tagaytay, ganoon na si CJ. He's really making it up to her. Noong isang gabi sinubukan nitong magluto. The food isn't good but at least it's edible. Ito rin ang nagpa laundry ng mga damit and he really make sure to help with the chores. He didn't even insist to make love to her because she's sure she won't comfortable. Mukha namang nararamdaman ni CJ iyon at naiintindihan nito. It's been going on for the past two weeks. Wala si Jusmaine kaya hindi siya nagtataka roon, pero ngayon? Why is he still staying with her?
She run a few laps. Mabilis pa rin siyang hingalin. Van run around the tower's premises but she decided to run just around the pool.
"Hindi matatanggal ang bilbil mo riyan, ang liit niyan." Van run in reverse. Nakaharap ito sa kanya habang tumatakbo patalikod. The guy loves running and she also learned he have joined a marathon before.
"Mind your own business, asshole!" Inirapan niya ito. The smug look in his face makes her wanna smash his face. She finds him really annoying lately to the point that sometimes she's rejecting his invitations. She hates the slurping sound he makes while slurping the noodles that she cooked and she have no idea why. Okay lang naman sa kaniya iyon noon.
Humalkhak ito ng tawa bago tumakbo na palayo sa kanya. After an hour they decided to call it a day.
"Van, tara sa Jollibee." Laglag ang panga ni Van ng marinig siya.
"Right after the laps that we--I mean I run? Are you kidding me, woman?" Hinampas niya ito sa balikat.
"I'm hungry. I haven't eat breakfast yet."
"Eating after workout will make you gonna gain weight." He said with an unbelievable look on his face.
"I technically just walked. You can't call my phase running." Hinatak niya na ito papunta sa Jollibee sa baba lang ng building. May convenience store din doon, café at milktea house.
As usual she ordered peach mango pie and nothing more, she's really addicted to that these past few days. Van grabbed a coffee and they are good to go. Ihinatid siya nito sa pinto ng unit niya bago ito umakyat sa pent house.
