"Matagal pa po?" I asked Kiefer, bakit ba kasi mas mabilis kumain kesa magluto? I finished six donuts in one sitting pkd ako sa sugar rush nito. Good thing I have my sprak absorber.
"Almost done babe, nakailang donuts ka na? Hindi ko sinabing ubusin mo yan ng isang upuan lang. Mamaya niyan.." He warned me, well he's too late half dozen down!
I picked up a donut, bit from it and marched my way to Kiefer who's busy cooking and nagging.
"B!" I wrapped my arm around his neck and touched his jaw, I'm right behind him. Pinakagat ko siya sa donut, mejo naguilty ako because I'm munching and happy humming over my donuts pero my baby's all sweaty cooking for me.
"Thanks babe." I wiped his lips after, may naiwan pang-chocolates laki kasi kumagat eh.
"There, all cleaned." I said and beamed at him right. My lips touched his, I could still taste the chocolate flavored donut on his lips.
"Such a tease. Upo na ka ulit, I have to finish this na. For sure gutom ka na. At tigilan na yang donuts." He told me with wide grin, kunyari di din gusto.
I walked away from him and back to my seat. I busied myself scanning Kiefer's phone. As usual I took random and silly selfies then opened his instagram. We know each other's password, may it be in insta, twitter, facebook albeit I don't really use facebook. Too much drama in there. My twitter account is also open in his phone and his to mine. Kasi we agreed we have to be transparent of each other, hindi naman invasion of privacy kasi he seldom use my accounts, or hindi ko lang alam? Kasi ako.. I bit my lower lip, guilty. Mas regular pa ang pagcheck ko ng twitter account niya, nakadefault na nga sa phone mo eh.
On daily basis I'll browse his feed, activities, etc. and so far so good. Well, not that I don' trust him we won't even be where we are right now if I don't. It's actually the idea of someone, anyone, anything that wants and can break us apart that triggers my curiosity.
Kanina lang he posted a photo of the traffic along the way.
"Babe, Kevin is teasing you nanaman." I announced, I know Kevin ilang beses ko na din siyang nameet. Talagang malakas lang mang-asar mga kaibigan ni Kiefer but I'm not offended wag lang talagang totohanin ni Kiefer mga pambibiro ng mga kaibigan niya at naku, I don't know kung saan sila pupulutin sa akin.
"What'd he say?" He asked not looking at me.
"He tagged Solenn this time, mali naman siya di ba si Marian crush mo? Or Julia pa din?" I kid. This time Kiefer glanced at me, I raised a peace sign.
"Kapag nagsimula ka ng ganyan wag kang maiinis nanaman ah." He warned me, I stuck out my tongue. Guilty, lagi kasi akong napipikon kapag nag-aasaran kami about girls kahit ako naman talaga nagiinitiate.
"Reply ka babe, tell him I'm taken." He shot back. I raised my brow.
"Sino nagmamay-ari sayo? Aba naman!!" I hissed with matching palo pa sa table para effective. Iling at tawa na lang ang sagot ni Kiefer. Told you guys, sugar rush.
"Anne Curtis babe." He answered laughing.
"Eh kung ispike ko mukha nung umaangkin sayo? Is she not aware you're Mika Reyes' property?" I added, Kiefer is laughing hysterically. Nakatayo na kasi ako my hands on my waist.
"Mika Reyes soon to be Ravena's property. Ano babe?" I felt my face heated up when e said it, nye kilig.
"Korni mo! Kakainis." I had to hid my kilig with annoyed voice, wala lang. Pakipot ng slight. He then faced me, nakita ko hinihaan niya ang burner. Kiefer put his hands on my waist and I clung onto his neck.
"Subukan mong tumingin man lang sa ibang babae, uuwi talaga ako dito para sapakin ka."
Kiefer
Mika's hyped, blame it on the donuts. Ganyan kalakas ang sapak ng baby ko, mangungunang mang-asar siya din unang mapipikon.
"Subukan mong tumingin man lang sa ibang babae, uuwi talaga ako dito para sapakin ka." She said lips puckered. I chuckled at my jealous fiancé, naalala ko when she stake claim on me one time sa isang bar. Mejo scary.
...
We were invited by my friend on a high-end bar in Makati, my plus one right beside me. Buti na lang hindi siya busy and she said she'll come with me. I grabbed her by the waist closer to me.
"You good?" I put her infront of me. I had to speak close to her ears for her to hear me, my hands still on her waist guiding her to the table reserved for us. My friends already waiting for us.
"Yeah. San ba sila Arron?" I heard her shout back, hindi pa ko nakakasagot when someone pulled my arm causing us to stop. I was take aback too when that someone kissed me on the cheek.
"I'm glad to see you here!!" Trixie, squealed. I've known her because she's friends with Trinca and we see each other kapag nagpaparty kami noon.
"Uh.. Hey." I felt Mika tensed, I squeezed her hand for reassurance, we'll never know what this girl could pull off and what my girl could.
"Ever since you and T broke up you never showed up on any parties." Oh this girl is trashed, I could smell alcohol from her. Well the party is already in full swing, I bet she's really drunk right now.
"Oh! You're with this tomb-girl. Oops, sorry slipped my mouth." Pardon my lack of vocabulary right now but I'm gonna use the B word on her, she's sounding so bitchy. Trixie even giggled as if Mika's something to be laughed at. Hey no one messes with my baby and gets away with it.
"Tri-" Mika cuts me off. "Are you done now? Because his friends are waiting for us." Mika said, tone subtle.
"Is she refraining you from coming to parties like this? Takot ba? Baka matauhan ka?" Trixie laughed again, this girl don't know when to stop. I can't take it that she's insulting Mika, sa harap ko pa. I glanced at Mika and to my surprise she's grinning.
"Baby you didn't tell me your a puppy." She said to me smiling then back to Trixie who looked so pissed because she can't seem to irritate Mika. Bae's not giving away anything.
"Hey, Tina.." "It's Trixie!" The latter corrected but my girl just shrugged.
"Whatever. Well, let me get this straight to that pretty empty head of yours that this guy right here..." Mika's furious but still so composed, she lifted our intertwined hands. I felt so mighty, knowing my lady's proud to have me.
"...Is solely, mine. And just like volleyball, when I say mine, mine. Or do you like me to show you how I do facial and block those who stand in my way?" She said with too much fierceness, kung ako si Trixie I'd save my arse and walk away, and she did after a hmp and rolling of eyes.
Now that's my girl.

Mika
The best feeling in the world. Having your man laying, head on your lap as the two of you watch this movie you both don't seem to get tired of.
Serendipity.
We've watched this too many times together pero kapag wala kaming magawa it'll still be our choice. On my hand is a plate of baked mac he did earlier, I'm feeding us.
"Mamimiss mo ko?" I leaned down on him, locking his stare on me.
"Hindi." He answered. Lumaki agad ang butas ng ilong ko when I heard him.
"Ikamamatay ko." He said again, which caused my raising irritation submerged and gone in thin air.
"Oh, kumain ka ng madami. Tigilan mo na yang paggi-gym mo di ka na huggable." I said grinning while feeding him a spoonful of baked mac.
"Di mo na ko love ihug?" Kiefer pouted his thick lips it's so funny.
"Tinawanan pa ko." He even rolled his eyes in me because I won't stop giggling.
"I'm sorry b, can't help it. Fierce ng lips mo eh." Sabi ko habang iniipit ang bibig niya at pinanggigigilan.
"B! B! Wait naman-ouch!" He protested, when I finally let go of his lips he covered it with his hands.
"Grabe ka sakin Babe." Kiefer complained, wawa naman. Mamimiss ko talaga itong lalaking ito. Paano na lang kapag nagkaroon ako ng midnight cravings? Or biglang gusto kong magjoy ride to Tagaytay for starbucks? Kapag I'm having sugar rush at laughing trip ako? Who'll nag about my eating too much shrimps? Or kapag I'm on my time of the month? Who'll bring me my honey tea? Wala na nga si Mama dun wala pa siya. I frown.
"Don't be sad baby, mabilis lang yung one month. Before we know it andito ka na ulit sa tabi ko." He assured me, kanina I put down my almost empty bowl of baked mac so I could wrap my arms around his head and embrace it close to my chest. Tinignan ko siya, he's positive so dapat ako din. Aside Mom and Dad, si Kiefer lang ang kayang makapagkeep up sa mood swings ko.
"Ilang araw na lang.." I hate to be reminded that two days from now the team will be flying to Japan for some serious training tapos pagbalik dito sa Manila few days break and diretso sa Thailand for the tournament. Sad story.
"We'll make the most out of it baby, like we always do." He sat up to level me and kissed my forehead.
Kiefer
Right after movie session tumayo si Mika to wash the dishes, hindi ako makapalag kasi usapan na namin noon na I'll cook she'll wash. Kahit ayaw ko talo naman ako kay commander.
"Kief, bakit meron ka pa ditong bill of condo dues? Didn't I reminded you like last week to settle this?" Mika shouted, naglalaro ako ng NBA when she stepped out of the kitchen. My fiancé a sight to behold, her maintained pixie cut hair in a messy style while wearing my shirt and her work out nike shorts and she's on bare foot. One of my most favorite part of Mika's body, her feet. Dainty toe nails, one of my weaknesses.
I'm definitely fighting all my urges to grab and nuzzle her.
"Kiefer, don't give me that look." Mika's serious tone poked me. I touched my nape as I give her my most gorgeous smile.
"Not gonna work Idol." She rolled her eyes on me, tumayo agad ako to hug her.
"Bae, it slipped my mind. Alam mo naman sobrang dami kong commitments lately." Mika shook her head.
"Okay, I understand. Pero I'm not gonna let you get away with this, akala mo hindi ko alam na you're actually asking Dani to pay your bills?" Eyebrows raised, she smirks. Ano pa nga bang aasahan ko kanila Dani? Eh ang loyalty ng mga yun nakay Mika.
Nginitian ko na lang siya although I know I'll have to do more than that to convince her and change the topic. Honestly, I don't find it nosy for Mika to scold me about this small things. She's my game changer at parang hindi ata ako mabubwisit man lang kahit i-nag niya pa ako all day.
Mika
He stayed true to his words, like always. Mom and Dad sent me off to the airport, today's my flight and Kiefer won't be able to see me off kasi may practice siya. It's not fine but I'll get by, sulit naman namin yung last two days ko. We didn't ate out like we always do, we stayed at their house, mine or his condo lang doing our random stuff. Morning palang he'll pick me up, drive thru lang for breakfast tapos we'll go jogging and brisk walking na. And in the afternoon the last two days he cooked lunch, tuwang tuwa sila Dani and teased him domesticated na ikinatuwa naman niya. Then we'll pick movies we want to watch, or I'll sit between his legs, arms wrapped around me, his chin on the curve of my neck while he's playing NBA. And since we're notoriously known as the Selfie King and Queen we took too many silly photos together, on my phone, on his, with Dani's instax na naubos na namin yung film but I promised I'll buy her some purdy films when I go to Japan. It was fun, always so happy and memorable because I'm with him.
Now it makes me sad again knowing we'll be away for quite sometime.
"Hoy Ye, di pa tayo nakakaalis busangot ka na." Sita ni Kim. I heaved.
"Ay, ang lalim ng hugot nun oh." Ara added, both of them bullying me.
"Ewan sa inyo, inaantok na ko. Di pa ba boarding?" I turned to my wrist watch for time check. 30 more minutes before boarding, inaantok na ko.
Nilingon ko yung dalawa ayun at parehas ng busy smiling at their phones, earplugs on.
"Tsk. Makapang-asar akala mo sila hindi oh." I blurted out. Facetime pa more, I heard both of them laughing. Daya, yung dapat ka-facetime ko busy shooting and dribbling balls.
