By Your Side

Irene

"Hon, I'll be with Ate today ha. If you come home early, please message me so I can go home." I told, Greggy as I prepare myself.

He did not answer so I gave him a look to see what is he doing.

He's just staring at me. "Why? anything hurts?" I asked, worriedly. He then put a smile in his lips.

"None. I'm just mesmerized by your beauty." he replied, I chuckled.

"Thank you, but please do what I told you earlier." I uttered.

"No, hon. Enjoy yourself. I'll be fine here." he answered. "But, you'll be here alone." I said.

"Then? I'm not a kid anymore, hon. Okay? so just enjoy yourself, tatawagan kita 'pag mamamatay na ako dito." he answered.

I looked at him, seriously. "That's not a good joke, Greg." I said, he then hugged me backwards.

"Im sorry, not gonna do that again." he whispered as he kissed my neck. "I love you." I whispered.

"I love you more than anyone." he answered, I smiled.

"I'll go take a bath. Please do bring extra shirts and towel with you." I told him, he nodded.

"Will surely do. I will leave na, hon. Take care and enjoy, love you." he then kissed my forehead and lips.

"I love you too, take care also." I said and when he went out of the room, I closed the door of the bathroom.

I just took a bath very quickly. I just wore a casual outfit.

Pagbaba ko naman, nakita ko na kaagad si Ate sa kitchen.

"Kanina ka pa?" I asked. "Hindi, kadadating ko lang." she sarcastically answered.

"Where are we going?" I asked. "Kahit saan. Saan ba gusto mo?" she asked.

"Tanong ko, tanong mo rin. Ano kaya 'yun." I replied.

"Eh malay ko ba kung saan mo gustong pumunta!" she exclaimed. "Napakaingayyy!" I uttered.

"Nang hindi naman palaging tahimik 'tong bahay niyo. Mga matatanda nalang kasi nakatira e."

"Ay wow, nahiya naman ako oo. Eh kayo ni CJ, anong tawag sa inyo?" I asked.

"Umalis na ngalang tayo, at baka mabato ko pa yung vase ko sayo." I added. We went out and the car we will be using is her car, of course.

"Bakit wala si Greggy sa bahay niyo?" she suddenly asked.

"Nag-golf. Nagpaalam ah, kasama raw si CJ." I uttered. She then looked at me.

"Sira ka ba? eh nasa bahay si CJ." she said, I frowned.

"Seryoso?" I asked, she nodded twice. I then fished out my phone and dialed his phone.

He's not answering, oh god this old man! joke.

"Eh baka may importante lang na pupuntahan." Ate reasoned out.

"If it's important then I should have an idea about it. He would tell me if there's important thing he need to attend to."

"Joke lang, kasama talaga ni Greggy si CJ. Kaya hayaan mo na yun." she replied and grab my phone away.

"Nakakainis ka!" I hissed, she laughed.

When we arrived, we immediately went to the Department Store.

"Irene, psst!" Ate called me. I looked at her as she showed to me a dress for the kids.
