"WHAT DO you want to eat?"

I just shrugged at Kuya Baker, "Anything edible," sabi ko nang medyo natatawa. Kuya just rolled his eyes at me, and I stuck my tongue out.

Hindi naman kasi ako marunong mag luto basta kinakain ko lahat nang niluluto ni Mom. Hindi rin ako mapili sa pagkain. I can eat almost everything. Besides, palaging nasa labas din ako kaya madalas sa resto or fast food ako kumakain. I'm fit, but I don't really care what I eat. I'm also lucky to have a fast metabolism. Si Kuya Baker naman mukhang madalas sa labas lang din kumakain kasi walang masyadong laman 'yung pantry and cupboards niya. Puro bread, yogurt and beer lang ang meron siya.

"Padeliver nalang tayo?" Kuya suggested, and I nodded.

"Jollibee!" I exclaimed. "Chicken with burger steak and a cheeseburger and large pineapple juice please,"

"Okay," Kuya replied, at siya na ang um-order ng food namin.

It's Friday, and Kuya went home early from work. Nagtataka nga ako e dahil madalas late na siya kung umuwi. Si Arlo naman madalas pa rin akong samahan sa pag-gagala sa Manila pa-minsan minsan pag hindi siya nag-oovertime sa work.

I grabbed my phone while waiting for our food to arrive. Nasa sala kami ni Kuya and he's watching NBA again while I'm sitting beside him and fidgeting at my phone.

Nakita kong may text galing kay Cash. I bit the inside of my cheeks to stop myself from smiling while reading his text message.

From: Cash

When can I see you?

I quickly glanced at Kuya to make sure na hindi siya nakatingin sa'kin dahil hindi ko talaga mapigilan hindi mapangiti.

I replied to Cash.

To: Cash

Are you really that eager to see me again?

I hit the send button and shoved my phone in my pocket.

Simula nang makausap ko si Cash last week halos araw-araw kaming magka-text simula non pero hindi pa kami nagkikita ulit. I don't know. He really wanted to see me. He's been bugging me to meet with him at his place or mine – but I know we can't meet up here sa condo ni Kuya. Baka palayasin ako nito bigla!

I want to tease him more bago ako makipag kita sakaniya. I want him to crave for me more. I want to torture him before we do some actions.

I know I'm probably not the only woman he could have in bed, but I want to add some spice before we do it again. And this time, gusto ko sa maayos na lugar naman at hindi sa sasakyan niya! Hindi naman ako pang-sasakyan lang. Kahit na booty call lang 'to, deserve ko rin naman sa decent place, no!

A moment later, our food arrived, kaya we started eating. I felt my phone vibrating in my back pocket, pero hindi ko muna agad sinagot.

Nagtataka nga ako kasi Friday ngayon at sabi niya sa'kin when we set our rules back in LA na he's not available every Friday. Weird.
