Invisible String

reinier

I'm itching to get out of the lab and get my phone from my locker, well to be very honest, I'm more of itching to go home not to our house but to my girlfriend's unit.

Baka may message na rin kasi siya for me, it's not that Indiana gets pissed with slow replies, especially she knows I'm working in a laboratory. It's just me who don't want to keep her waiting.

I got used to go to her unit after my work here in the lab because we barely got a chance to see each other before going to work, so we try na at least after work we get to see each other everyday.

Sometimes I sleep there but sometimes I go home din after spending some time with her since I know she likes to embrace her lifestyle now. She's living independently, and I swear she's doing a great job. I'm proud of her.

I always do naman.

"I'll go ahead," I bid my goodbye to my workmates in the laboratory before going out. We're working at some research that's why sometimes I go home late like today since it was a legit trial and error that makes us frustrated from time to time. Sometimes parang ayaw mo na lang tigilan.

I'm in the locker area and fished for my phone immediately.

From: love love
You have your keys with you right? I'll sleep na antok na ko gosh!

I can't help but pout because she's going to sleep already but it's okay, I still want to see her. Snoring or not.

I didn't bother to reply 'cause I know she's sleeping already at this hour and she knows naman na I'm coming over like the usual.

I just went straight to her unit.

Her unit's neat and tidy. One thing about Ida is she likes organizing things, she's not a fan of disposable plastics so you can see a lot of acrylic organizers around the place, in cabinets, in drawers and even in her working table.

Whenever I come over, I can't do any household chores for her anymore because she makes sure that everything's done before she sleeps. She's always telling me she's enjoying living alone, not that she doesn't care for her family--which is by the way getting better and better than ever, she just really loves doing stuff in her own way.

It was kinda giving me a hard time asking her to live with me. It's fine though, I'm not rushing things because I'll know we'll end up living together din naman in the future. So might as well let her enjoy her life living alone muna.

I was about to heat the food she prepared for me when I saw a note that she placed on the cover.

Wake me up kapag you'll eat na, kahit na super himbing ng tulog ko, WAKE. ME. UP.

Ida started to learn how to cook before pa since she'll be living alone na nga but she ended up loving it and not just for the sake of living na lang. She loves cooking as much as she loves baking now.

I'm having a hard time working out because of that. I'm gaining a lot of weight which gives her the satisfaction because she knows I'm enjoying her food.

She doesn't even join me when working out, she just watch me like a movie with her bowl of snacks on her hand. So mean ever since.

As the highness wanted, I went to her bedroom and saw a beauty right on the bed sleeping peacefully.

How can I wake her up when she's sleeping like that?

I might just lay by her side and sleep with her, but I also wanted to eat what she prepared for me. I made sure to eat just enough earlier when we had a break at work so I can have enough space to eat the dinner she always prepare for me even though on days like this, I go home to her late.
