#NY10 Chapter 10

"What?" I asked when I answered the phone.

"Good morning, doc," Eli's voice said. I creased my forehead as I looked at the phone and saw that it was only 7am. I thought someone from the hospital was calling me... "Kaka-gising mo lang, no?"

"Yes..." I replied as I tried to sit down.

He chuckled from the other line. "Akala ko kailangang maaga ngayon sa apartment mo kasi maaga iyong delivery nung mga gamit?"

"Oh."

"Nalimutan mo?"

"Yes... Oh, my god. Where are you?"

"Papunta pa lang. Naisip ko na baka nalimutan mo nga kasi ano'ng oras ka na naka-uwi kagabi," he said. I felt my face heating up when I remembered why we stayed up late. I was feeling bummed because of Ramona. I hated how her words made me feel sad. So what if I was older than Eli? I don't remember getting the same reaction when some middle-aged guy would date a young woman. I hated how some women bring other women down.

But Eli... He wouldn't let me go home with a frown on my face. He kept on trying to make me laugh and then... some other things. Eli spent a couple of hours making me feel good.

God. His car needed to be deep cleaned. Because of all the things we do in his backseat.

"I'll just take a quick bath and then I'll meet you there?"

"Roger. Bilhan na kita ng breakfast. Sabay na lang tayo?"

"Yes, please."

"Okay. See you later, doc."

I smiled. "See you later, teacher."

I took a quick bath because I didn't want Eli to wait for me. He's always waiting for me when he picks me up from work because a lot of times, some emergency would come up and I couldn't just leave. I knew Eli understood that and he's always bringing exam papers so that he'd have something to do. But still. If there's a chance, I'd rather he not wait for me.

I wore a black biker shorts, white loose crop top, and white walking sandals. I quickly grabbed my bag after I made sure that the receipts were there.

"Mommy, where are you going?" Sammie asked when she saw me about to go downstairs.

"To our apartment," I replied. "The furniture will arrive today."

"Oh. When are you leaving?" she asked, sounding a bit sad.

"Next week..." I said. "Why? Do you not want to leave?"

She shook her head. "I'll miss lola..."

I sat down so we're face to face. "We can still visit lolo and lola, you know?" I said. "It's like with Daddy... If you want to sleep here, you can sleep here."

"If I sleep here, you'll be alone in the apartment."

"It's okay. I'm an adult."

Her eyes widened a little. "Because you have your adult already, mommy!" I sighed. She really wouldn't stop calling Eli as my adult.

"Kelsey, where are you going?" Mom asked when I passed by them.

"Apartment," I replied. "Furniture's arriving this morning."

"Need help?" Dad asked.

I smiled and shook my head. "No, I can handle," I replied as I kissed his cheek.
