And I didn't get the chance to ask a question until the game ended.
"Good morning." Groggy na bati ko sa mga ito.
"Morning," Gising narin si Jazmin na seryoso ang mukha.
"Morning---- Yawa! Kasakit sa akong ulo!" Bumangon si Jana pero agad itong napahawak sa ulo.
Kanya-kanya kaming pumasok ng cr para maghilamos at magtoothbrush.
"Hey," tawag ni Jaz kay Jana na di pa bumaba ng kama. "Sorry about last night. I didn't mean to invade your privacy. It's just---- you're so annoying."
"Me, too. You're just so cute when you're mad." Nakangiting sabi nito na nakahawak parin sa ulo.
Sumingkit ang mata ni Jaz pero hindi na nagsalita. I was about to say something when the door was slammed a little too harsh.
"That wasn't necessary." Mahinang reklamo ni Jaz.
"Sino yun? Hahalikan ko yun!" Inis ding sigaw ni Kendra na nakatalukbong pa sa kumot.
"sure?" Kutya ni Riv.
"Yeah, sure!" Tunog lasing na sagot ng isa.
"Jaz, oh!"
"What?" Patay-malisyang tanong nito pero di nakaligtas sakin ang pagkagulat nito ng tawagin sya ni Riv.
"Ikikiss nya daw si Gretch," nakangising sabi nito.
Napangiti din ako ng umirap ito at lumabas.
Guess I wasn't the only one.
"Nyari?" Clueless na tanong ng dalawa ng malakas kaming tumawa ni Riva.
"Get up." Binato ko ito ng unan at lumabas na din.
Naabutan ko ang dalawa sa kusina. Nagluluto si Michelle na pinanuod lang ni Gretch habang umiinom ng kape.
"Morning," bati ko particular kay Michelle. I have to forget about last night. She looks fresh kasi nakaligo na sya. Parang hindi man lang napuyat kagabi. Marami narin syang niluto and I like the way she moves expertly around the kitchen.
Lumingon sya sakin at ngumiti. "Morning. Kape, gusto mo?"
"Yes, please." Umupo ako sa kabilang stool. "Where's Jaz?" Tanong ko kay Gretch.
Tumingin lang ito sa labas bilang sagot. Sinundan ko rin ng tingin ang tiningnan nito. Jazmin is talking to someone. No other than my sister.
Lumapad ang ngiti ko at nagmamadaling lumabas.
"Ate!"
They immediately stopped talking and turned to me.
"What are you guys talking about this early?" Palipat-lipat ang tingin ko sa dalawa. They seem so serious. "Oh, why don't you join us for breakfast?" Baling ko ulit kay ate.
"May buffet sa hotel," agad tanggi nito.
"We can have anything they can offer. Masyadong crowded ang restaurant ngayon so just come with us. The girls would be happy to see you." Not giving her time to decline, I dragged her along with me.
"Let's go. Lumamig na ang kape ko." Nilingon si Jazmin dahil nakatingin lang ito samin.
"How's your sleep?" Tanong ko kay ate.
"Good. How 'bout you?" Binigyan ako nito ng side glance bago binalik ang tingin sa daan.
"I had two-hour sleep but I'm good." Sagot ko. "Di ka naman ulit ginulo ng lalakeng yun?"
"Jacob is a good guy. And no, I slept early."
" Slept early? You should've stayed at home." Natatawang sabi ko.
