By Your Side

Chapter 40

Imee

CJ and I were peacefully sleeping in my bed when I heard a knocks. Hindi ko naman pinansin nung una pero mas lalong lumakas ang katok.

"Hmm, who's that, 'hal?" I heard Cj whispered, who's now buried his face in my neck while hugging me.

"I don't know.." I answered and caressed his hair. "Check ko?" he whispered. 

"No, ako na. Sleep ka nalang dyan." I answered and about to stand up when he pulled me again to him.

"Stay muna..." he whispered and tighten his hug.

As usual the clingy CJ...

"Okay, but are you not irritated, mahal?" I asked as I kissed his forehead. "Hmm, let it be. Kiss muna.." he whispered. 

I chuckled and gave him a peck in his lips. "I love you.." he uttered. "I love you too.." I answered. 

After a couple of minutes of cuddling, he let me go. At hindi pa rin tumitigil yung kumakatok.

Sino ba 'to? ka-aga aga e!

When I opened the door, I saw Irene, who's now frowning.

"Ang tagal magbukas ha!" she hissed. I glared at him. "Eh kung hindi ka pala gaga, kung ke-aga aga kung maka-katok ka, akala mo tanghaling tapat na!" I hissed.

"Bakit ba?" I asked. "Samahan mo nga ako.." bigla namang umamo ang mukha niya.

"Bakit, ano meron? sandali anong oras palang ba?!" I hissed and went inside of my room again to get my phone.

And when I checked it, my eyes grew. 3:58am palang!

"May saltik ka ba? mag-4am palang oh!" I hissed then I remembered today is Greggy's Birthday.

"Tsaka sandali, diba birthday ni Greggy ngayon? bakit ka aalis?" I asked.

"Daming tanong! Magbihis ka nalang kaya, ate?" she asked, I rolled my eyes. "Oh, maghintay ka sa baba!" I hissed and closed the door.

"Bastos ka ah! Maka-sarado ng pinto." she uttered. "Mas bastos ka, manggigising ba naman ng alas-quatro." I answered and went back to the bed.

I then hugged CJ. "Hmm?" he hummed. I kissed his forehead. "I'll leave lang ha?" I told him.

He opened his eyes and looked at me. "Why? iniwan mo na nga ako kagabi here e." he answered.

I chuckled. Masama pa rin ang loob.

"Nagpapasama si Irene e. I cannot say no naman, it's pretty early, mahal baka kung anong mangyari kay Irene kapag walang kasama." I uttered.

"Where's Greggy?" he asked. "I don't know, probably still sleeping? so sleep ka pa, it's still 4:00 in the morning, mahal." I told him.

"Okay, take care, hmm?" he asked, I smiled. "Yes, love you." I kissed his lips.

I then stood up to change my clothes.

Ano kayang nasa utak ni Irene ngayon?

Nagsuot nalang ako ng long sleeve and trouser, I'm pretty sure na malamig pa sa labas niyan.

"Mahal, alis na ako. Eat ka ng breakfast later ha?" I told him. "Hmm, yes mahal." he answered so i smiled.

Bumaba naman na ako. "Ang tagal mo, ate!" she hissed. "Aba, ako na ngalang inistorbo mo sa tulog, ikaw pa nagagalit?" I asked.

"Saan ba kasi tayo pupunta?" I asked, when she started driving.

"Hindi ko kasi alam, ibibigay kong regalo kay Greggy, ate. Kilala mo naman si Greggy.." she uttered.
