I woke up a bit early to study for the first test, I went on with my morning routine ate my overnight oatmeal and started studying for at least an hour, Maxine already left to jog and came back after I finished studying..
"Want some oatmeal?" I asked her
"Sure" tipid niyang sagot napatitig ako sakanya kase never pa siyang umoo sakin tuwing aalukin ko siya mag breakfast.
"Are you going to make one for me or not?" She said saka niya hinubad ang shirt niya na basang basa ng pawis, morning routine na kase niya ang mag jog before anything else.
"Yes—labas lang ako" napalunok ako nang makita ko ang abs niya, I mean I can see her body all the time—like what Jia said
"Yang si Maxy kung hindi revealing yung pj's niya bigla-bigla yan maghuhubad, the question is.. have you encountered it already? How did you react to it?" She asked me while sipping her coffee nasa coffeeshop kameng tatlo, sumama siya samin ni Maxine since their class is done for the afternoon—baka curious kung anong ginagawa namin kase halos lageng kame yung magkasama araw-araw.
"Hubadera siya kapag nasa dorm minsan di ko alam san ako titingin kase like what you've said, revealing yung pj's niya" natatawang sagot ko sinamaan naman niya ako ng tingin
"You can just look, I don't really mind" she cooly said
"Even guys? Talaga?" Si Jia na may pilyang ngiti sa labi
"Of course NO, girls can look at me but not men" sabe niya saka nagbasa ulet
Nagising ako sa realidad nang bigla siyang magsalita..
"Thanks" nag thank you lang siya saka ako nilagpasan para pumunta ng bathroom.
I prepared overnight oatmeal with berries and pistachio. nilagay ko na lahat ng usual na nilalagay ko except for walnuts allergic kase siya don.
I made her a note on the side—
"I don't know how sweet do you like your oatmeal, the honey is on the cupboard"
Paglabas niya ako naman pumasok para maligo, I played music whenever I take a shower so di ko talaga siya marinig kung kakausapin niya ako mula sa labas.
Paglabas ko nakita ko siyang kumakain sa dining table while browsing through her ipad—her usual routine every morning. I blow dried my hair, put on some light make-up and dressed up casually—yung super comfy lang? Draping cream slacks, white shirt and black oversized blazer and my low-cut air jordans. Pagkatapos kong mag ayos kakatapos lang din mag sipilyo ni Maxine.
"Sabay ka sakin?" I asked her before leaving
"Yeah, wait for me I'll put on some light make-up" sabe niya na habang nag-aayos.
"Sure I have one hour to spare pa naman" I said and sat on the couch while browsing my phone but then someone called me and it was Jeremy I put him on loud speakers kase may binabasa pa akong pdf file
"Hello Hailey, sunduin kita today? sabay tayong pumasok" he sweetly asked
"Hmm? Paalis na ako eh" walang gana kong sabe
Maxine cleared her throat a little too loud kaya napatingin ako sakanya—yan makipag laplapan ka pa.
"Nasa lobby na ako actually may dala din ako for you, snacks. Baka kase gutumin ka while studying later before the exam"
"Ah.. pwede mo naman iwan kay kuya guard yan eh nag abala ka pa"
Nakita kong tapos na si Maxine at dere-derechong lumabas.. paka maldita talaga neto, may toyo na naman kaya sinundan ko na din siya palabas.
