I tried stretching my arms but I suddenly remember na wala ako sa sarili kong kwarto. I opened my eyes and felt lonely. Wala na si Radicus sa tabi ko. He's indeed a morning person. It's 8:30 in the morning.
Tumayo na ako at nagpunta sa banyo. I saw a paperbag above the sink. It has a note in it. It says this is for me. Napangiti ako nang makita ang laman nito. It's a gray peter pan collared conviction dress. My chreeks turned red when I saw some pair of undies. Geez, paano niya nalaman ang sukat ko? We didn't..we..did not...oh well. Magaling siguro siyang magtantiya?
Pagkatapos kong maligo at magbihis ay nakakita naman ako ng isang Vans paperbag. I can't believe he bought me a white vans shoes! Pupwede naman iyong suot ko kagabi? Sinuot ko na lang din. I'll pay him. This is too much.
I tried roaming around searching for him. Natigil ako nang makarinig ng tunog ng gitara. Saglit lang ito. Natapat ako sa isang bukas na kwarto. There I saw Ethan. He's sitting on the bed with a guitar beside him. May hawak itong phone. Nakatalikod ito sa akin kaya malaya kong napagmamasdan ang tinitignan nito sa cellphone. His girlfriend? But it's not Channel Grace. Ang alam ko ay iyon ang nalilink sa kanya?
I gaze away when he tried to move. I saw how his muscles flexed. Wala kasi itong damit pantaas. Looking at his back reminds me of...Radicus. My boyfriend is just so hot. I cannot even resist him.I can still feel his kisses on my neck. His arms around my waist. I fan myself.
Someone cleared throat kaya napatuwid ako ng tayo. It's Ethan!
"Hi." He greeted me full of glee. Ang gwapo lang. No doubt sikat ito. I mean he's international. He's been at the top and now I'm face to face with him.
"Ah..sorry. Naabala kita. Ano kasi, hinahanap ko si Radicus." My eyes stared down his V-line. I shook my head. I can remember Rad's.
"Nasa kusina ata si Radish. Oh. Sorry, I'll wear a shirt. Wait." He said. Hindi ko alam kung bakit hinintay ko pang matapos ito. He just grabbed a long sleeve shirt saka ako muling binalingan.
"Naliligaw kasi ako. Sorry. I didn't mean to distract you."
"You are right. Distraction ka nga." He said. Nakaramdam ako bigla ng hiya. Damn! Dapat kasi di ako pagala-gala.
"Ganda mo kasi." Dugtong nito. My lips parted. We heard someone whistled.
"Si Ethan Rios Alcantara ay malandi. Huwag tutularan." Thaddeus suddenly appeared. He's fixing his tie while eyeing Ethan.
"Oh. Says by the Business Lord." Ethan teased.
"I'm going now. Good morning Maya."Thaddeus greeted.
"G-good morning." I answered.
"Please say hi to Joey for me." Ethan said. Thaddeus glared at him. Ethan laughed.
"You got a nice pair of Vans! That's a limited white Vans. Galing kay Radish?" He asked.
"Uh..oo. I don't know what's this for." I said.
"So that explains why he called my sponsor. Ang daya. Yung sponsor ko na yon, ayaw akong bigyan ng ganyan. Then look, he got two pairs of that."
"Two pairs?"
"Ahuh. How I wish it's for me. Though I doubt it. He never been sweet to me. Rad is so cold.Password nga ng wifi di ako mabigyan. He never treated me like a brother. At yung si Thaddeus, parati nila akong dinedeny sa media. They are heartless people. Save me Maya!" He said dramatically. I giggled.
"I don't know what to say." I just say. He frowned.
"Isabay niyo nalang ako sa breakfast. Mapapatawad ko na so Radish." He said.
