Stacie's POV
Nagising ako dahil sa naramdaman akong gumagalaw sa tabi ko.
"Sorry, did I wake you?" Nakasandal ang katawan niya headboard nang kama habang my suot na salamin, while her hand is holding a book. God she looks so hot.
"I know I'm gorgeous Stacie, stop stating the obvious" nagulat naman ako sa sinabi, how long was I staring at her. I just composed myself
"Ang kapal ah. What time is it? Can't sleep?" Umiling lang ito and checked her phone
" it's 3 am, you should sleep more, you look like a zombie with those black thing below your eyes" sinamaan ko naman ito nang tingin and aga aga nang iinis.
" ikaw? Kanina ka pa gising or did you even sleep?" Napaiwas na lang siya nang tingin. I think i already know the answer. I took the book from her hand. Sinandal ko din ang sarili ko sa headboard and looked at her.
"Can you tell me more about yourself?" Medyo nagulat naman siya sa bigla kong tanong
"What do you want to know?"
Agad naman ako napaisip nang itatanong
"Like, what's your favourite food to eat?" She smile at me cockily and bit her lip. Mali ata tanong ko. Agad naman ako umiwas nang tingin. She saw my reaction and laughed. I don't know but I can stay here and watch her laugh all day. Iba na talaga tama mo Stacie
"I'm just teasing you." i just rolled my eyes at her.
"Hmmm.. i don't really have a specific favourite, but i like spicy food. I really enjoy Thai and Korean food" nag isip naman akong nang susunod na tanong
"What's your sign?"
"Libra. My birthday is October 20"
"How about you, Stacie?" Balik niyang tanong
" Aries, my birthday is March 31st."
"Oh, i would've guessed you we're a Leo, with how assertive you are." She said while smiling
"Do you have any other questions?"
"What was your first and last relationship like?" Medyo awkward naman siyang napatingin
"My first relationship was..hmmm..Let's say messy?" Sabay niya tawa
"I was 17, and she was 16. I met her at a family party, since her parents and mine are friends. I don't know what really happened, i just remembered that I was a..let's say, not so good teenager or daughter that time, i was drinking beer on the beach side when she approached me. We were talking, and then I just found myself kissing her. Her name was Elise. We tried to see each other as often as we could, but since we go to a different school, it's hard. I always make time to go to her and text as often as I could but the problem is If there's a day that I'm not able to call or text, she's already thinking bad or became paranoid that I was cheating. It really didn't work out. I see her occasionally, through a business party, our family are still friends. "
"Hmm.. how about your last?"
"That's a long story, and i don't want to ruin or taint this night."
"That bad?" I asked
"Let's say it's not good. She was or is..has a lot of demons.. I mean, we all have, but hers is different. It took me a long time to realise everything." Nakita ko naman ang pagdaan nang lungkot sa mga mata niya. Napaisip na baka mahal niya pa ito at hindi ko maiwasan na makaramdam nang sakit habang iniisip yun.
"Stacie? Do you still have anything that you liked to know?"
"May mga kapatid ka ba?" Sunod na tanong ko
"Yes. Just one" tipid niyang sagot
"Is she older or younger than you?"
"She's 2 years older"
"Are you two close?" I saw her jaw clenched for a second
"We used to" and there's a brief silence at naramdaman ko naman na ayaw niyang pag usapan. Napabuntong hininga siya at nagsalita
"We used to be so closed that she's not just my sister but also my best friend, but everything changed when she went to the States and worked at my mom's company there. She became so focused on being the person that our mother want her to be. Whereas I reached the point where I stopped giving a sh*t what she thinks of me. I haven't seen them for almost 3 years." I can see anger in her eyes and sadness and then a few more seconds of silence
"How about you, do you have siblings?"
"Yes, my little sister. Actually, not little anymore since she's getting married. " nakita ko naman ang gulat niya.
"Wait, how old is she?"
"She's 23, we have 3 years age gap."
"Wow! That's young to get married. " medyo nag agree naman ako dun.
"My sister and her soon to be husband is so sure about each other already. I know how happy and satisfied she is."
"You mentioned that you haven't seen your sister and your mother for 3 years?"
"Yes, the last time I spoke to my mother when she assumed that I needed a job and told me to call my sister to ask her. Since mom and dad got separated, things went sideways. Me and my dad are really close. My mother is someone that you don't want to mess with.. she's from a.. let's say a too privileged or prestigious family, even my dad who is already a successful businessman and has his own company it's still not enough compare to what she have"nakita ko naman ang pagdaan nang galit sa mga mata niya
"Let's talk about it next time Stacie, you sleep i know you're tired." agad naman siyang tumayo at lumabas nang kwarto. I shouldn't have asked her. I went outside after a few minutes to check on her. I saw her standing ang drinking sa terrace. I think I hit a nerve by asking about her sister and mother. I'll leave her for tonight to make her calm. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako at bumalik sa kwarto. I hope she's okay, i want to ask her what we are or what am I to her. I heavy sighed. "Maybe not today." I said to myself. I felt the bed moved, pero hindi ko na binuksan ang mga mata ko, I just felt her beside me, and without a second thought, I faced and hugged her until I drifted to sleep.
