Unrequited

Aphrodite:

pinihit ko yung knob pagkatapos ay pumasok ako nakita kong napaangat siya ng tingin and then when he saw me he mumbled "sus ikaw lng naman pala" that was offending but duh I'm Aphrodite De La Cuesta I don't back down just because of that and besides araw araw ko Ng naririnig yan kaya I'm so used to hearing it then binati mo siya "Hi baby how was your day?" sabay halik sa pisnge niya but as expected Wala siyang tugon doon so I went straight to the couch and talked to him

"you know baby my day was not so amazing just a bit when I woke up I went to get and check some things then dumiretso na ako sa shop ni Sammy then we were talking a bit then I was scolding her because she didn't eat breakfast when Lexi came then she make higa on my lap then she look so frustrated so I asked her what's goin on the she told me what it is and dahil na shock ako I forgot na she was lying on my lap pala ng bigla akong tumayo so her head bumped sa floor kawawa siya" I kept on talking and talking but ofcourse wala siyang pake but then I don't care if he's listening or not too basta I'm going to talk here pampalipas oras na din hinihintay ko lang kasing mag twelve since may sasabihin daw yung dalawang buang na yon sa akin so I kept on talking until nag twelve

"owkay baby enough of the workey workey coz it's lunch time na"I fixed his table habang nagrereklamo siya bahala siya diyan then wiped it at naglagay ng place mat then kumuha na ako ng spoon and fork niya then plate coz he doesn't like eating on styrofoams and using plastic spoon or fork so yeah and then nilagay ko sa plate niya yung kanin then I put his dessert and ulam on another plate and his drinks on his tumbler then niligpit ko yung mga basura then bumalik na ako sakanya I went to his room her sa office niya at dahil pakialamera ako kahit umaangal siya ay kumuha ako sa closet niya ng towel then inipit ko iyon sa suit niya para hindi mamantsahan then hinubad ko yung coat niya

"before you start eating you wash your eew dirty hands first baby Lou coz you've been signing papers and maraming germs kaya you go na"

"Alam ko babae kaya wag kang magmarunong"

"I'm not baby I'm just reminding you".

"whatever" sabay irap niya

"aahh anyways I'll be leaving now baby coz I have something important to attend to sorry" sabay halik ko sa pisnge at ulo niya

"bye baby eat well ubusin mo yan alam kong. gutom ka and please stop skipping breakfast ok?"syempre wlang siyang nakuhang sagot instead kinakalikot lng niya ang cellphone niya kaya nagpaalam na uli ako at lumabas

"hey Nicky darling so how was your day?"

"here stressed as hell iyan kasing pinsan ko masyadong mainit ang ulo tapos bossy pa siya then this month he already  fired 30 people, malaking problema yun lalo nag magagaling pa yung pinupull out niya"

"Hays ganyan na talaga yan he's a perfectionist masyadong obsessed sa perfection don't worry you have my number naman dba?"
