"Oh anak, saan ka ba galing? Crey's here for like five hours already." Mom said pagkapasok ko sa bahay. Humalik ako sa pisngi nila ni Dad.
"I attended church and spent a day with my friends." Tumango tango naman sila. "Where is she, Mom? My phone was turned off that's why," Sinadya ko naman talagang patayin dahil time ko yon with Cohen.
"Crey's in your room. Puntahan mo na. Gisingin mo na rin para makakain na kayo ng dinner." Tumango nalang ako kay Mommy atsaka pinuntahan si Crey sa kwarto ko.
Pagbukas ko ng room ko, Crey's rubbing her eyes. Napatingin siya sakin atsaka ngumiti. Nakaupo siya sa edge ng bed ko. She spread her arms, wanting a hug. Lumunok ako atsaka ngumiti papalapit sa kanya.
"Where have you been, babe?" She still sound sleepy.
"I had a day with some friends. Sorry kung hindi ko nasabi sa'yo, sinundo kasi nila 'ko kanina and they didn't allow na mag phone kami lahat..." Damn, Monique. You're getting good at lying!
"Okay. I understand. I missed you, babe..." She hug me tightly. I awkwardly patted her head.
"I...I missed you, too..."
"Can we go to the wedding expo tomorrow? I cleared my schedule for it..." She said softly. Damn, Creighton Ramirez! You're making me feel fucking guilty!
"Okay," Pumayag ako dahil ayokong masaktan nanaman siya kung tumanggi pa 'ko. I always declined when she's requesting na pumunta kami sa mga wedding expo's. "Two days yon right?" She happily nodded.
"Thank you, babe! I love you!"
"N-no worries, b-babe. I-I love you, too."
Pinauna ko na siyang bumaba dahil magbibihis pa 'ko. I texted Cohen na nandito si Crey. Kaming dalawa nalang ni Crey ang kumain dahil kanina pa daw kumain sila Mommy. Kumain na rin ako pero sinabayan ko nalang ulit si Crey. Ayoko lang na magtanong pa siya.
"Babe, I remember, I can't call you last night? Nag inom kasi kami kagabi nila Allen and dapat magpapaalam ako sa'yo. I texted you nalang." She's talking about her cousin. Lumunok ako.
"I was talking to some investors last night kaya busy," A particular investor, actually. "Oh, cousin bonding?" Uminom ako ng tubig. She puffed her cheeks tsaka tumango. Cute. I really find her adorable when she's doing things that she's not aware na she looks cute.
"Not really bonding. Iniwan na si Lex ni Janna and nagyaya siya na uminom. You know, broken hearted." Nag iwas ako ng tingin sa kanya.
Ang dami ng tumatakbong pangyayari sa utak ko na pwedeng mangyari sa mga susunod sa araw pero ayoko siyang isipin! Like what if sa kanya mangyari yon? Damn it!
"Uh, why did Janna left Lex?" I asked.
"Lex cheated. Janna saw her hitting on a girl in a bar kaya ayun, the end." She said.
I don't know what comes to my mind, but I found myself asking her. "What if you saw me kissing someone? What will you do?"
She creased her forehead. Ngumuso siya kaya hindi na 'ko kinabahan. Damn, ayoko siyang makita na galit. Hindi ko kaya.
"Then I'm gonna punch that someone. But please, Mon, don't do that. I don't know what I can do if I saw someone kissing your lips. That's mine only, babe. You're mine."
I'm not yours...
Ngumiti nalang ako kahit hindi naman ako masaya. Before kapag sinasabi niya yung mga ganyang bagay, natutuwa talaga 'ko. Pero ngayon...I have Cohen? Hindi ko na alam. Namimiss ko lang si Cohen.
