Get You | Ricci Rivero COMPLETED

Oh, who would've thought I'd get you

I woke up with 2 messages on my phone.

Steph Santos

FUCK FUCK I AM IN SO MUCH TROUBLE

CAN WE MEET LIKE BEFORE OR AFTER YOUR CLASS

LIKE IM SERIOUSLY PANICKING RIGHT NOW, MARQUIS

HELP ME!!!

I almost got nervous with Steph's texts when I realized na nagpapanic siguro siya dahil nasa tamang ulirat na siya at na-realize niya na nagkasala siya technically kay Kib. I sighed. Mahaba habang araw na naman 'to.

Ricci Rivero

Hi good morning! How was your sleep?

Rise and grind, princess!

Sorry di kita masamahan after class, we have training till 9pm 😰

I smiled at his thoughtful texts. This is his 2nd day of panliligaw and so far, so good. When I got back from the condo, I can't stop the damn smile on my face. Napansin din ni Dylan at Yaya Lucy ang pagka-good mood ko dahil nanlibre pa ako ng pizza pagdating sa bahay.

"Uyyy si Ate... for the first time nang-libre ka ata? Is it because of Kuya Ricci?" Dylan asked me as we took a bite of the New York pizza I got for him, Yaya Lucy, our two drivers and three other helpers in the house at our veranda.

I rolled my eyes and made a face. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ang pikon pikon ko na tao.

"Uyyy may boyfriend na si Ma'am..." one of our helpers also teased me and I just gave them a smile. These kind of these things make me happy. I know na sa lahat sa aming pamilya ako lang and si Dylan ang nakakasalamuha at nakakabiruan nila ng ganito and it makes me feel satisfied knowing that they trust me enough to be themselves.

"Wala pa akong boyfriend no. Na-miss ko lang talaga tumambay sa bahay ng ganito! Miss ko na kayong lahat," I told them, laughing. It's true. Parang mas naging pamilya ko na sila kesa sa mga magulang ko.

"Nagdrama pa ang alaga ko! Basta Margarita ha, pag may boyfriend ka na, siguraduhin mong mabait yan. Yung ipagmamalaki ka at ipaglalaban ka sa Daddy mo. Alam mo naman yan..." Yaya Lucy butted in and I can see that she's happy I'm spending time with them because the crinkles in her old face are glowing.

"Hoy si Yaya humuhugot oh! Baka may lovelife ka na ulit ha? Ipakilala na yan!" I teased as I grab my chicken Alfredo on the table at nagtawanan rin ang iba.

"Napaka-maloko mo talaga, Margarita. Manang mana ka talaga sa tatay mo noon..." she recollected her thoughts and napatigil kaming dalawa ni Dylan. It's weird to hear that considering we never seen our dad laugh, happy or plain satisfied since Mom was gone...

But Dylan snorted as if asiwang asiwa siya sa pagaalala ni Yaya kay Daddy.

"Dad funny? Not in a million years."

After Ricci & I's conversation outside our house, agad naman kaming nagka-text at nagusap about random things. First time namin magkatext talaga ng sunud-sunod. Dati, isang tanong isang sagot lang. Ngayon kahit anong makita namin, we tend to share it to each other. Ang saya lang dahil alam mong kahit ano ka-random pa yan, alam mong may taong makikinig sa'yo. Nakakamiss din. Mico & I used to be like this back when we were just friends. Speaking of Mico, I've never heard of him after that incident. What gives?

I got up and prepared my day for school. It's just Monday and I know marami pa akong dapat bunuin just to get through the day. My schedule for Monday is jampacked – almost 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM straight ako, with an hour of break during lunch time but that's it. Steph keeps on bombarding me with calls and texts and told her we'll meet at her condo at 8:00pm para private.
