Chapter 2: Getting to know him better

[Mish POV]

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm, and I’m a house of cards… You’re the kind of reckless that should send me running but, I kind a know that I won’t get far

“Hello” as I answered my phone without looking on the screen to see who’s calling in this freaking morning

“Good morning. Is it okay if I’ll pick you up by 10 am?” someone’s on the other line said. Kumunot-noo naman ako. Sino ba ‘to? So I decide to look on the screen. Ah, Alexander De Guzman, that guy! May usapan nga pala kami.

“yeah sure. Bye” then I ended the call immediately, inaantok pa ko eh. I hugged my pillow again, ang sarap matulog grabe. I smiled, while my eyes are still close and hugging my pillow tighter.

“Ano ba!” I groaned when I heard again my phone ring. I grabbed my phone on the bed side table and answered it sounded irritable.

And you stood there infront of me just, close enough to touch

“Hello!” then I heard someone laugh on the other line.

“Mainit ata ulo mo bunso” at parang nagising ang buong diwa ka at napabalikwas ako. Tinignan ko yung screen ng phone ko at si kuya dion nga. One of my kuya in chikboys.

“hey kuya, bakit?” tanong ko ulit

“may itatanong kasi ako eh” parang nahihiya yung boses niya na nag-aalangan. Naisip ko baka dahil sa naging tono ko, kaya naman inayos ko ang tono ng pananalita ko.

“ano yun?” mahinahong tanong ko

“uhm, ano kasi. Ah… eh…” ano ba naman ‘tong si kuya dion, magrerecite ba siya ng vowels? Alam ko na yun eh!

“ah?” panggagaya ko sakanya

“ay wag na lang pala. sorry sa abala” sabay baba ng phone. The heck! Problema nun? Natanong ko nalang as I put the phone on my bed side table again and grabbed the alarm clock na di ko naman ginamit today dahil walang pasok. 8:26 AM na pala, susunduin pa ko ni xander. Maliligo na ko. and went straight to my own bathroom.

Almost 10 AM na ng makababa ako mula sa kwarto ko. Matagal talaga ko mag-ayos kasi nagblow dry pa ko ng buhok eh. I just wear a faded jeans, sky blue V-neck shirt, and beige dollshoes. I matched it with my blue headband and a Black sling bag where I put my phone, wallet, perfume, powder and lipgloss. Yan lang ang dala ko pag umaalis.

“good morning lola” I greeted her and give a peck on her  left cheek when I go down to eat my breakfast.

“good morning din hija. May lakad ka di ba?” tanong ni lola.

“Opo, Susunduin niya po ako, so ipapakilala ko na din siya sa’yo para alam niyo po kung sinong ipapa-hunting niyo pag hindi ako naka-uwi” natatawang biro ko at ganun din naman si lola.

“Kumain ka na nga apo, Dalaga ka na talaga” lapit sa’kin ni lola at sinuklay ang buhok ko gamit ang mga daliri niya.

“baby niyo pa din po ako” paglalambing ko sakanya at niyakap siya habang nakaupo ako at nakatayo siya sa tabi ko. after I ate, lumapit sa’min yung isa sa mga maid ni Lola. Si manang nena.
