Stay Awake
(Dreams Only Last For The Night)

Freya Sahara dela Merced Wilson

'Hi! This is Colleen. I'm currently out of the office and can be reached by waiting until I get back. Please leave a message after the beep.'

"Damn you, bitch." I hissed before I hit the voicemail button.

Malakas na ibinagsak ko ang phone sa table while massaging my scalp in frustration.

"Why are you calling Ate Colleen?"

"Isa ka pa!"

She quickly recoiled back when I lashed out at her.

"I was trying to call Colleen because you are not listening to me! I told you that we should go see a doctor but you refused. My God, Odin! Your nose was fucking bloody and all you have to say to me after what happened kanina na okay ka lang? Are you serious?"

I gritted my teeth while huffing in front of her. Inis na inabot ko naman ang mukha niya at inusisa ito ng mabilisan.

"Are you okay? Wala bang masakit sa katawan mo? C'mon! Tell me. Baby, please? I'm really worried." I said almost pleading.

"Ladies. Uh, I need to take your orders now." I glared at the waiter who was standing beside our table.

Is he blind? Can't he see that we have some important matters to discuss right now?

"Excuse you! We are having a private conversation. Can you fucking leave? And wait!"

I then give him my full attention.

"I'm sorry? Am I hallucinating or did you just give me an order?"

I glared at him.

Agad na namutla siya at halos matanggal ang ulo niya sa kakailing. This Catatonic bimbo dare to order me around?

"Sahara."

Odin softly holds my hand at the top of the table before she gave me a tight smile, showing her dimples at both sides of her cheeks making my frustration disappear in an instant.

"I got this."

She then looks at the waiter who was about to run away for his life and quickly assures him that everything will be alright. She then swiftly orders our food in a very formal tone na agad na isinulat ng waiter sa notebook niya with his hands trembling in fear.
