Irene's POV

I faced the camera to my dogs and pressed the shutter button. I checked the photo and saw them peacefully sleeping. I then sent it to Greggy.

Irene:
Look, the babies miss you na daw
4:17 p.m

After sending it, I waited for his reply.

Greggy:
Cuties.
4:22 p.m

Hmm, the babies or the mommy?
4:22 p.m

I chuckled on his reply.

Irene:
The babies. 'Di kita miss 'no : P
4:22 p.m

Greggy:
You're not really good in lying my love. Don't worry, I'll come home earlier today. 😉
4:23 p.m

Yay!

I didn't bother to reply and just put my phone away and went to disturb my sleeping dogs.

Ganyan din naman sila sa'kin kapag ako ang natutulog. It's payback time.

I played them for a while but I don't think they are interested to give some time for me. Ayaw man lang akong pansinin.

"Come on Persephone, give mommy a kiss dali" I moved closer to her. "Kiss lang dali, don't be so madamot"

This corgi keeps on refusing me kanina pa. Attitude talaga itong batang 'to, kahit kailan.

"Kiss na si mommy please" para na akong ewan dito.

"Ako na lang love" I looked up when I heard a voice coming from my room's door. "Hi miss, bakit ang ganda mo?" hirit niya pa.

"Ang bilis mo namang maka-uwi. Ikaw ata ang nakakamiss sa'kin eh" I joked.

He giggled and went towards me. He kissed the top of my head before sitting right next to me. All the dogs went to him, wagging their tails and jumping on him.

Ang galing, tapos ako kanina hindi pinapansin.

"Okay, enough na" tumatawang saway niya sa lima. He even pushed them aside, "My turn everyone" he told them. He then gave me a bag.

"What's this?"

"Nag-take out ako ng sushi. 'Di ba you were craving for it yesterday?" he answered.

My smile grew bigger. "May sushi roll?" I asked and he nodded.

"Kompleto. If you can wait for me, I'll just change my clothes and sabay na tayong bumaba" he said.

"Thank you so much love! Now go, hurry up"

He laughed at me while he went to my closet. Our closet.

Hindi rin nagtagal at bumaba na kami, we ate the sushi he bought with my siblings.

Few moments later, Mommy came home, right in time for dinner.

"Mom, can I invite someone over tomorrow?" Aimee suddenly asked.

"Sinong someone yan?" It was Imee who answered.

"A friend" she answered.

"Friend? Marami kang friend Little Aimee, sino?" Imee asked again.

"Yang friend mo bang iyan, yung nagta-take ng law?" Bongbong interfered.

"Uhm..." she was hesitant to answer. "Si Mommy kasi ang kausap ko eh!" she frowned.
