Respect
"Open this for me please," I said as I hand the in can mushroom to Darko.
Nakauwi na kami at naghahanda na ako para mamayang supper with mom. Nasabi ko na rin kay Darko at nung una ay parang hindi siya natuwa.
"My mom is coming later tonight by dinner. I want you to be there, is it okay?" I said when we got here in the apartment and I am arranging the groceries we bought earlier.
His mood shifted from playful to serious. His face were dark. Mali ba iyon? I don't know. Maybe he's not ready to meet my parents? But if he's really serious with getting me back, then meeting my mom is not a problem.
"Of course, Heaven. If that's what you want then that's what I want too," he said and I smiled.
"Here," he gve me back the canned mushroom and it is now opened.
"Thank you," I said and continue cooking my sauce for carbonara.
He opened more canned mushroom and he sliced it too. Hindi kasi naka slice ang nabili namin kaya medyo nagdoble tuloy ang trabaho.
I am wearing my pink apron and he's wearing my other apron that is color blue. He look hot while wearing those small apron of mine. I smiled and looked back again to my sauce.
I cooked other meals that I know my mom would love to eat and prepared my specialty when I was a kid that she loved for appetizer. I cooked a lot and I think we already used the quarter of what we bought earlier.
Hindi ko pa rin siya nababayaran dahil nagawa niyang ipilit sa akin kanina na sagot niya na daw iyon. Like a birthday gift or something. October pa lang naman at medyo matagal pa ang birthday ko pero tinanggap ko na.
"Pass me the pepper please..." I said and he passed it on real quick and I was about to say the salt and he's already handing it to me.
That was impressive. We finished cooking just before my mom came. I prepared the table and placed three plates with proper arrangements of utensils. My mom loves perfect things and I guess that's one of the reason on why she wanted me to be one.
I wore a simple black silk dress to impress my mom. I know I don't need to do this but it's like what I'm used to. Nasanay na ako na laging i-please si mom at mukhang hindi na mawawala iyon. Well, whatever.
I heard the door bell and I was right. It is my mother with her sophisticated look and black Hermés bag.
"How are you, hon?" Aniya at bumeso sa akin matapos palibutan ng mata ang aking buong anyo.
"I'm doing okay, mom. Come in," I answered and went to the kitchen.
Darko is still taking a bath earlier and I think he will be done by now. Handa na ang pagkain at nakapagsandok na rin ako lahat lahat. Palingon ko kay mom ay tinitingnan niya pa ang buo kong apartamento at para siyang hindi natutuwa. Lagi namang ganyan si mom.
Pinaupo ko na siya sa upuan sa diner at saktong pagupo niya ay lumabas ng kuwarto ko si Darko na nagpupunas ng buhok. Naka white polo shirt siya at black slacks. I told him it's okay to not be so formal but he insisted so I guess it's alright.
Lumapit ako sa kaniya at ako na ang nagpunas ng buhok niya dahil napatigil siya nang makita kung sino ang nandoon. Kinakabahan ba siya o ano? He looks angry to me.
"Bakit hindi ka nagpatuyo ng buhok, tumutulo sa damit mo," bulong ko at napunta sa akin ang tingin niya.
He smirked and held my waist. I was so shock when he kissed me right in front of my mother. I heard my mom cleared her throat after a minute of Darko kissing me passionately.
