By Your Side

Chapter 11

Irene

Today is June 9 so tonight is our flight to Paris! I'm really excited of course cause my bright star will be with me!

"Greggy, wake up. I'm hungry na" I said, softly while tapping his back.

"Hmmm, una kana" He murmured. "Ihh, I don't want. Kapag hindi ka tumayo dyan, papatigilin kita sa panliligaw, sige ka." I teased him.

He immediately stood up and gave me smile.

"Goodmorning, my love! I'll wash and brush my teeth lang" His energy make me...woah!

I nodded, chuckling. I also prepare his clothes. "Love I need clothes" malambing niyang sabi, sabi na eh.

"Here, bilis na ha. I'm really hungry na." I uttered so he gave me another smile.

I sit down on the edge of my bed and wait for him.

"Let's go, love." He said so I stood up. He intertwined his hands on mine.

"Goodmorning, love. I love you so much" He whispered and kissed my forehead.

Pwede bang sa lips naman?

"Goodmorning too, my star!" I smiled at him. "Walang kiss?" He asked so I looked at him.

I pulled him to a tight hug. "Hug nalang" I giggled.

"Sa susunod na yung kiss, kapag tayo na." I added, he chuckled.

"Wala kaming balak hintayin matapos ang kaharutan niyo!" Ate shouted.

"Umagang-umaga, bumubulyaw ka nanaman." I replied with no emotions.

I sat down and Greggy sat down beside me. Mommy looked at me so I smiled at her.

"Irene, ngayon ang alis niyo diba?" Kuya asked.

"Yes, kuya." I answered and take a bite of bacon.

"What time, Irene?" Mommy asked. "10pm po. So Ate are your belongings ready na?"

"Nah, not yet." She replied. It's still 8am so it's okay.

"Nagpaalam ka ba kay CJ?" Greggy asked her.

"Oo, pumayag naman." I nodded.

"Love, it's hot." Greggy whispered. I rubbed his back and it's wet.

I stood up, "Excuse us." I said and pulled Greggy.

"Always bring handkerchief, 'kay? Magpunas ka palagi. You're pawisin pala." I said.

"Yes, ma." He chuckled so I looked at him. "You're teasing me, aren't you?"

"No." He answered. I continue walking, not minding him.

"Will you still wear t-shirt or a sando na?" I asked him.

"Can I wear sando, love?" He asked. "Yeah better, para hindi na ganun kainit." I responsed and gave him his sando.

"Isa pang likot mo, para kang bata!" I hissed when he still swaying his hips.

"Don't you want it?" He asked and hugged me. "Para kang tanga" I laughed, so he pouted.

I smiled at him. I get the powder in my table. "Will I still put that in my back? I'm not a baby anymore"

Siraulo, kanina nagpapa-baby tapos ngayon ayaw magpalagay ng powder sa likod.

"Yes, I need to put some of this in your back. Sige na."

Hinubad niya naman ang damit niya kaya pagtapos ko punasan ng tissue yung likod niya, nilagyan ko na ng powder.

"Wear your sando na." I said at humarap naman siya sakin.
