Thalia
I yawned as I wake up and get up from my bed, after the party kasi di na ko kay Sienna dumeretso since malapit lang condo ko near her din naman at hindi ko siya mahagilap kagabi. Ang huling naalala kong nakita siya is kasama niya si Dave, alam ko ng may something yung dalawang yun unang tingin ko pa lang.
I cooked my breakfast and look at the clock inside my condo, 10:35Am na pala kaya nag gayak ako and wore my usual gym clothes. I have my membership sa Anytime Fitness and as a dancer I need to be physically fit pa rin and at the same time Architecture student ako so need ko talaga. I checked my phone if may malapit ba kong deadline, yung VT lang nalalamit na deadline ko and since patapos na rin naman kaya I can manage that some other time.
As I'm done preparing, I already left my condo and go to gym. The guards greeted me and I greet them back, kilala na rin ako dito since almost every other day nandito ko or if maraming plates talaga I go here once lang in a week.
"Hi, Lia!" I saw my former coach approached me, I waved back.
"Hi, coach!"
I'm busy doing sit ups for my third set ng bigla akong may mahagip na kakapasok lang ng gym. It's no other than Russ. I looked away ng maglibot ang mata nito na para bang hindi ko siya nakita at nagpatuloy sa ginagawa. I'm wearing earpods if ever man na kausapin niya ko I won't hear him. I take a deep breathe and inhaled some air after I finished, I looked at my watch kung anong oras na din.
6:00pm
It's time, I need to go back to Sienna's condo to get my things because at 8pm I'll be submitting my initial plans to my professor.
"So, you go to gym" Nagulat ako ng biglang may magsalita sa harap ko ng pagdilat ng mata ko.
"Yeah, and I never knew you go here or are you stalking me?" I jokingly said that made him smirk.
"I used to go here everyday in the morning but suddenly due to hang over I need to go in the evening session" Nagkibit balikat ako at naglakad papuntang shower room pero dinaanan ko muna yung gamit ko sa locker.
"You said last night-"
"Last night was fun but that's all" I quickly cut him off
"I'm not yet done talking yet you conclude things" He said and lean from the locker.
"And Mr. Imperial for your information, please I don't want to talk about it na lang"
"Okay, let's forget it pero I want you to hang out with me. A coffee will do" I sighed at mukhang di siya titigil sa pangungulit.
"Fine. Tomorrow after my class" I finally agreed and I saw him smiled. Oh that shit kind of fucking smile! I hate it to the point I want to see it everyday.
"Okay! That's settled then, So can I get your schedule para alam ko kung anong araw or date ako mag aaya" Don ako napalingon.
"What did you say? mag aaya? why? did I agree to meet you again after tomorrow?" He lean closer to me and hold my chin kaya kinabahan ako.
"Hindi, pero hindi ko rin hinihingi permission mo because I'll be at your door knocking" He pinched slightly my chin and get out from my sight.

I was doing my final touches to my plates here in the class before I finally submit my plates. "Ms. Fontanilla, would you present your work in front?"
Tumayo ako at tumungo na sa harapan ng room. I heavily sighed before start talking.
"Dear everyone, May I introduce you to Paradiso. The word paradiso comes from the word Paradise, which was the concept of my work inspired from paradise for also known as the beautiful island here in Ilocos Region. This House is located at Bangui, Ilocos Norte and the main concept was the wave that touches the sand" And I continue explaining then afterwards they all clapped. I did very well! My work has been chosen to be once of the works that will be exhibited in our upcoming event.
After the class I immediately checked my phone if there's any pending activities I need to do before I go home.
VT - 05-30
Interiors- 06-03
I sighed and turned off my phone since I'm done with VT and my Design. I'll just go and do pamper day. My hair is too long, should I cut it short and do some hair color? Ah no. I'll just go home and do that some other day. I change my mind, I just want to sleep all day.
"Thali!" Napakunot noo ako ng may tumawag sakin habang palabas ako ng campus. Nilingon ko ito at nakita kong si Vance, my blockmate sa Design class.
"Yes?" I asked ng harapin ko ito at kita ko pa siyang hinihingal. He showed me my plates, that's our midterm plate!
"Our professor just give it back nung nakaalis ka na and kinuha ko na sabi ko habulin kita and give it to you" He explained and I smiled.
"Grabe naman hinabol mo pa ko pero thank you" He smiled and napakamot sa batok. He's cute lalo na yung dimple nito pag ngumingiti.
"Ah eh..."
"may sasabihin ka pa ba?" Alanganin kong tanong at tinignan niyang nakakunot ang noo.
"If it's okay kung ayain sana kita mag dinner and hatid na rin kita sa condo mo since it's past 9:00pm na" Nahihiyang tanong niya kaya natawa ko, this is the first time na nakita ko siyang ganto. Mostly kasi pag nasa room kami he's quiet and para bang hindi mo maatim na kausapin dahil sa nakakatakot din nitong mukha.
"Libre mo ba?" I jokingly said na ikinatango nito kaya kiming ngumiti ako at tatango na sana ng may umakbay sakin.
"Babe, what took you so long?" He whispered before kissing my head. Nanlaki mata ko at nilingon ito.
"What the fuck?" Galit na turan ko at siniko ito. Russ just glared at me. Yes, It's Russ. Nakalimutan kong FEU din nga pala to.
"Thali, your boyfriend?"
"No!"
"Yes"
Pumiglas ako kay Russ at hinarap si Vance.
"Vance, I'm sorry next time na lang siguro. He's not my boyfriend and kaibigan ko lang ha, thank you again for giving my plates" I tapped his shoulders and hinarap si Russ tyaka hinila paalis don.
"What was that, huh? Russell?" He clenched his jaw and look at me intently.
"I told you earlier that we'll be having coffee date, do you?" He asked me.
"Yes! and pumayag ako pero sinabi mo bukas!" Inis na pahayag ko at sinamaan siya ng tingin.
"Oh sorry, but I changed my mind I want a dinner tonight and coffee date tomorrow. That's final" Tyaka niya ko hinila kaya nagpumiglas ako hanggang marating namin ang parking kung nasaan ang kotse niya. Andito sa tapat ng FEU gym nakapark and medyo madilim na dito sa lugar na to dahil konti na lang mga taong nandito.
"Let go of me, Russ!"
He didn't listen instead he opened his car and put me inside. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako at hindi na lang pumalag ng isinarado niya ang pinto dahil mukhang di rin naman ako papakinggan nito.
He get inside and turned on the engine. He looked at me and sighed. "Put on your seatbelts"
I didn't listen and ignore him. Bahala ka sa buhay mo!
He impatiently get the seatbelt from my direction, napapikit ako ng maramdaman ko ang hininga niya sa pisngi ko. Nagsitaasan tuloy balahibo ko ng dumaplis pa ang daliri niya sa braso ko kaya napapikit pa lalo ako ng mariin.
"You're so beautiful even when you're mad" He whispered kaya napadilat ako na sana di ko na lang ginawa dahil sobrang lapit ng mukha niya sa mukha ko.
"Layo" I leaned back and closed my eyes again while I turned my head in another direction. I felt his finger holds my chin and suddenly I felt his lips on mine kaya napadilat ako at nakita kong nakapikit siya.
Sinubukan ko siyang ilayo at pigilan ngunit kinagat niya ang pang ibabang labi ko at nanghingi ng permiso upang diinan pa ang halik niya sakin.
After kissing me, He pulled back and smiled. "I already got my dessert"
