INT. LIVING ROOM - EVENING

11:04 p.m.

Robin
Love, may notif ka.

Mikey
Anong sabi?

Robin
Si Celeste.
Hindi ko kita ano sinabi niya.
Naka-lock 'tong phone mo.

Mikey
Unlock mo.
092124.

Robin
Seryoso ka ba?

Mikey
Yup.
Unlock mo.

Robin
Okay . . .

Mikey
What did she say?

Robin
Nagulat siya nag-reply ka.
Thank you daw saka see you.

Mikey
Okay.
Don't reply.
Hayaan mo na.
Okay na 'yong reply mo sa kanya kanina.

Robin
Sige.

Mikey
I have a shoot tomorrow.
With Kachi.

Robin
Bakit mo 'ko sinasabihan?

Mikey
So you know—

Robin
I mean, bakit mo 'ko sinasabihan e kasama din ako bukas sa pictorial ninyo? Nasa production team ako ng project n'yo, love. Nakalimutan mo na agad?

Mikey
Oh . . . oo nga.
It slipped my mind.

Robin
Pagod ka na talaga.

Robin tapped the cushion beside her.

Robin
Upo ka na rin dito, tabi ka sa 'kin. Masiyado mo naman kasing sinisipagan d'yan, balak mo bang pakinangin 'tong sahig ko?

Mikey
Ikaw kasi.

Robin
O? Ako na naman?

Mikey
I told you earlier na mag-sleepover ka na.

Robin
E, ayaw ko.

Mikey
Why?

Robin
Si Ate Gigi kasi.

Mikey sat down beside her.

Mikey
Bakit?

Robin
Sabi niya kanina alam na niya gagawin kaya pinilit ko umuwi.

Mikey
Huh?

Robin
Wala!

Mikey
So umuwi ka just to prove her wrong?

Robin
Oo.

Mikey frowned.

Robin
'Wag ka na sumimangot.
Ikaw na lang mag-sleepover dito. Bukas ka na mag-drive ulit. Pagod ka na, e.

Mikey
Tapos sabay tayo papunta sa studio?

Her eyes widened.

Robin
Ha?

Mikey
I'm going to sleepover tapos same naman tayong nasa pictorial bukas, right? Edi sabay na tayo papunta sa studio.

Robin
Sure? Isasabay mo talaga ako?
Paano kung may makakita—

Mikey
Love?

Robin
Paano kung may makakita nga sa 'tin? Baka simpleng pagbaba ko pa lang sa sasakyan mo—

Mikey
So?

Robin
Sure ka?

Mikey
Never ka bang sinabay ni Kieth before? I feel like you're talking based on your experience before.

Robin was stumped.

Mikey
Tama ba ako?

Robin
. . .

Mikey
Sabay tayo tomorrow.
I don't mind if may makakita sa 'tin. That's the least of my concern. Mas practical din kung sabay na tayo.

Robin
Okay.
Basta ano, sure ka d'yan.

Mikey
Of course.

Robin
. . .

Mikey
Are you hungry?
Hindi ka pa kumakain ng dinner, 'di ba?

Robin
Sorry.

Mikey
Hmm?
What for?

Robin
Basta sorry.

Mikey smiled, placing an arm around her shoulder.

Mikey
It's okay, love.
Baka naging default mo lang din.
Pa-deliver na lang tayo ng food mo.
Do you want pizza?

Robin
Oo. 'Yong spinach dip na flavor.
Tapos fries.

He smiled, dipping a kiss on her hair.

Mikey
Okay.
