Start from the beginning

JERIC: Gusto mong maligo? You can use the shower.

WENSH: I want to pero wala akong extrang damit.

JERIC: Papahiramin na lang kita.

I hesitated for a second pero naisip ko: ngayon pa ba ko magiging choosy? Eh ang baho ko na.

JERIC: May mouthwash din ako. You should use it.

Naka-smirk pa. Bwisit 'to. -_____-

After taking a shower, sobrang nakakastress kasi kailangan kong maglakad nang nakatowel lang. Ilang beses din akong nagpabukas-sarado bukas-sarado ng pinto dahil katapat lang ng kitchen ang CR.

JERIC: You can go out.

WENSH: Don't look!

JERIC: Sus. Parang hindi ko na yan nakita dati. (smirks)

WENSH: Jeric, seryoso ako! (glares at Jeric)

JERIC: So am I! (chuckles)

WENSH: Manyak!

JERIC: You were a willing participant then.

WENSH: Jusko, Jeric! Shut up!

JERIC: Okay, okay. Hindi naman ako titingin. Nagluluto ako.

WENSH: Siguraduhin mo lang. Sasapakin talaga kita.

JERIC: Wearing just that?

WENSH: Tigilan mo nga ko sa kamanyakan mo.

JERIC: Psssh. Bilisan mo na dyan. Malapit nang maluto 'tong breakfast.

Dali-dali akong naglakad papunta sa kwarto nya. Nagbihis ako into one of his shirts. I wore an old UST shirt of his at nanghiram din ako ng boxer shorts. Syempre yung underwear, nadryer ko naman agad. Pagtingin ko sa mirror, natawa ako kasi mukha akong jologs. Kulang na lang ng rubber shoes.

*TOK TOK TOK!*

JERIC: Kelan ka pa matatapos dyan?

WENSH: Tapos na. (binuksan ang pinto)

JERIC: (smirking)

WENSH: Anong nginingisi-ngisi mo dyan, gums?

JERIC: Wala. (chuckles)

WENSH: Psssh. Hindi pa tayo truce ha. Wag kang feeling dyan. Hindi porke -

JERIC: Oo na, oo na. Can we, at least, eat in peace?

WENSH: Fine.

JERIC: So where do you want to eat?

WENSH: Sa sala.

JERIC: Sige, dun ka na. Ako na magdadala ng pagkain.

What he's doing for me right now: it's strange yet familiar. I can't help but smile.

Pumunta ako sa living room and sat on the sofa. Binuksan ko yung tv at nanood ng balita.

WENSH: Baha na naman pala kagabi.

JERIC: Every time na may bagyo, bumabaha dito. Hindi ka na nasanay.

WENSH: Isa't kalahating taon din kaya na snow yung kalaban ko, hindi baha.

JERIC: Ah ... oo nga pala. How does it feel?

WENSH: Cold? (chuckles)

JERIC: (laughs) Obviously.
