A Secret Love

Chapter 6: Girlfriends

"Ha? Are you really sure that you want me to live here with you? I mean, how can I help in the house? I.." Magsasalita pa sana si Mon pero umiling lang si Sam.

"You don't need to help or do anything. I just want to be with you." Sam assured Mon.

"Hmm.. I'll think about it." Sagot ni Mon. Tumayo ito at nagligpit ng mga pinagkainan nila. Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ni Sam. She really asked for Mon to live with her, but what kind of relationship do they really have? Sam decided to plan a surprise.

Sinundan ni Sam si Mon sa kusina at yumakap mula sa likod. Mon smiled a little.

"I'm about to finish cleaning up Sam. Do you want to continue watching the movie?"

"I'm kind of sleepy. I'll take a shower. Join me after?" Masuyong tanong ni Sam.

"Okay, wait for me then." Sagot ni Mon. Pagkatapos magligpit ay pinuntahan na niya si Sam. She found Sam already asleep. Mon quickly took a shower and laid down beside Sam.

"You're so pretty, even while asleep." Mon gave Sam a kiss in the forehead and fell asleep after.

The next morning, the sun's rays shined on Sam's face. She looked around pero hindi niya makita si Mon. Sam panicked a little, nakatulog kasi siya kakahintay kay Mon and she still haven't received her answer. Hinanap niya si Mon, paglabas pa lamang ng kwarto ay nakaamoy na siya ng masarap ng pagkain. Pumunta si Sam sa kusina at nadatnan si Mon na nagluluto ng almusal.

"Good morning Sam! How's your sleep? Let's eat, I cooked breakfast." Masiglang bati ni Mon. She served Sam with garlic fried rice, bacon and sunny-side up egg with sliced tomatoes. Umupo si Sam sa dining area.

"Good morning Mon. I thought you left me, I was waiting for you." Sam pouted a little and looked really cute. Mon pinched her cheeks.

"I won't leave you Sam." Sabi ni Mon bago sumubo ng pagkain. Huminga ng malalim si Sam.

"Iniwan kita sa kusina kagabi, ngayon nadatnan kita na nasa kusina pa din. Natulog ka ba talaga?" Nagdududang tanong nito. Natawa si Mon at hinawakan ang kamay ni Sam.

"I just wanted to make sure I can take good care of you while I'm here. Ang lalim kasi ng tulog mo e." Mon assured Sam.

Napaisip si Sam, dahil mukhang napasarap nga ang tulog niya. Dati ay nahihirapan ito laging makatulog kaya umaabot ito ng madaling araw at gising pa siya.

"Actually, I slept really well. Maybe it's because I feel safe with you." Sam said while eating. Mon felt really happy.

"Okay Sam, huwag mo na ako bolahin. I'll just go home to fix some stuff in my apartment. I'll be back soon. Okay?" Tumango si Sam kahit ayaw niyang malayo kay Mon. She was planning on surprising her anyway. She could use the extra time.

After breakfast, Mon went back to her apartment. She already talked to her landlord and advised of the movers next weekend for her things. Mon went back to Sam's house immediately since she was not responding to her messages and calls.

Pagpasok ng bahay ni Sam, puno ng tea light candles at rose petals mula sa pintuan hanggang sa hallway. Napangiti si Mon at sinundan ang mga ito hanggang sa kwarto. Pagbukas ng kwarto ay nakita ni Mon ang isang simple pero napakagandang dress with a note and a single rose.

("Mon, get ready for tonight. - Sam") Nagready si Mon at pag labas nito ay hinihintay na siya ni Sam. Sam smiled at her.

"You look beautiful Mon." Mon blushed and also smiled.

"You are more beautiful. Let's go?" Inabot ni Mon ang kamay ni Sam at pumunta na sila sa restaurant na pinareserve ni Sam. Hindi pa kailanman nakapasok sa fine dining restaurant si Mon kaya namangha siya sa lugar at sa service dito.
