Chapter 18 | I Want To Stay

Pauline Cynthia Zunino's Point of View

"What the hell, Warner? Ang aga-aga ha nang-iinis ka!" I shouted at him when he pulled the sheets away from me before turning the volume of the alarm up, making it echo throughout the room.

Buti na lang naka-pajama ako at shirt 'pag natutulog dito. I usually wore shorts at house but I figured it would be awkward so I started wearing pjs.

I heard him chuckled, parang bigla tuloy nawala ang galit ko. "You're shouting at your boss?" Pang-aasar niya.

Nevermind, whatever, I'm annoyed again! It's only five in the morning! Seven pa ang start ng office hours ko at sigurado akong wala pa siyang trabaho na ganito kaaga!

Ugh, nangaasar lang ata 'to!

Nakasimangot akong bumangon, tinitignan siya ng masama. "Ready yourself in thirty minutes, let's meet downstairs," nakangisi niyang sabi.

"Saan tayo pupunta?" I asked, scrubbing my eyes.

"We'll work-out."

I groaned and let myself fall to the bed again. "Good luck on working-out, Warner," I lazily drawled as I pull the sheets up and cover myself again.

Ang lamig-lamig pa naman, masarap matulog tapos mangiistorbo siya... Gaaaah! Sasaksakin ko na talaga ang lalaking 'to.

"I'll teach you self-defense, come on." Hinila na naman niya ang sheets, hahablutin ko sana kaso ay natapon na niya 'yon sa dulo ng room.

Now, his arms are crossed while smiling at me playfully, waiting for my next move.

"I know how to protect myself." I groaned, not standing up.

"I'll be meeting you downstairs in thirty minutes; if you're not up we'll be staying here for another week."

"Blackmailer!" Sigaw ko nang narinig ang pagsara ng pinto, kahit malayo ay narinig ko ang mababa at malakas niyang pagtawa.

I did not have a choice to stay in bed. Bumangon na ako at nagsimula nang mag-toothbrush at maligo. Warner's bathroom is huge, pakiramdam ko ay ganito kalaki ang kwarto ko sa bahay, pwede pa ata maglagay ng kama dito pero maluwag pa din.

After bathing, I opened my phone to check if there were any messages.

Alam kong merong message sila Cyran kaya hindi ko binuksan kahapon. I was kind of scared and embarrassed on what they heard! Narinig nila na sinabihan ko si Warner magsuot ng shirt; my friends are not idiot, panigurado alam na nila ang nangyari.

Hera:

You saw him... naked? Pau you're not our baby anymore!

Sara:

I NEED DETAILS! Is he bulky? What what what? MESSAGE ME ASAP!

Cyran:

I'm not going to ask anything, just don't do anything rash and stupid. Message me if anything bad happens. Also, I will literally kill that guy if he does anything to you.

Xaver:

I shit you not, Pauline Cynthia Zunino, if something happens, I will drag you back in Bleanriths. Marriage before baby carriage, baby Pau, remember that.

Nag-init ang pisngi ko habang binabasa isa-isa ang message nilang apat. I feel like my whole face is getting hot the more I read! Buti na lang ay understanding si Cyran, I know he worries too much about me kaya ay siya ang una kong nireplyan.
