"Rienne, are you still working while we're on our way to the Solaire? Puwede naman 'yan sa susunod na dalawang linggo."

Agad ko naman inirapan si Claire bago isuot ang aking air pods para magpatugtog. I was doing my final workload para wala na talaga akong iisipin sa mga susunod na linggo. I really want to enjoy the weekend.

At sobrang exciting noong itinerary namin sa hotel. We booked a sky studio room which costed so much pero wala namang pake si Claire dahil marami silang pera noong fiance niya. Ang alam ko nga mayroon pa kaming private bar.

Pero wala akong plano magwalwal ngayon. Sana hindi lang ako lasingin nang mga kaibigan ko.

After finishing what I was doing on my iPad, agad ko pinikit ang aking mga mata para umidlip and when I opened my eyes again, we were already outside the hotel entrance. Mia and Jaidene were already outside taking pictures, while Alliyah and Glen were stretching.

I took my bag and went outside to get my small luggage.

We checked in and the bellboy took our things to take it up to our suite. Akala ko ay didiretso na agad kami roon sa suite pero sabi ni Claire sa private bar muna kami pumunta.

When we arrived, we were surprised with confetti and champagne that was sprayed on us which definitely ruined our outfits and makeup looks but it was totally worth it.

"Wow, there are dicks on the walls," Jaidene pointed at the dildoughs that were on the walls. We all laughed before exploring the private bar.

"Girls, let's take pictures!" Pag aya ni Glen kaya agad naman namin inayos ang mga sarili bago ngumiti sa hawak niyang cellphone.

After that, we opened the welcome bags the hotel gave us. It had some snacks as well as some toiletries that we sure are going to take home because it looks expensive.

After naman namin doon, napagdesisyonan na naming umakyat sa hotel room. When we saw the hotel room, we marked our beds by putting our bags on it. We specifically requested for four queen sized beds para tabi tabi na lang kami.

"What the fuck? We're actually going to wear lingerie?" I asked while holding the white lingerie that barely covers anything.

"Of course! We have to take lovely pictures and make memories, Rienne," Claire told me and I just sighed before placing the lingerie on my bed.

We decided to just chill sa hotel room dahil bukas pa kami magiikot at gagastos sa Solaire. Maraming luxury brands dito and a casino. Meila said she wants to try there.

Nag aya sila uminom but Claire and Meila declined because they said their head was already hurting. Pati rin kanina tinanggihan nila 'yong champagne e.

After we all took a shower, nakatulog kami at nagising para kumain ng almusal sa breakfast buffet.

We all decided to wear our swimsuits to get ready for the pool. Kumain muna kami ng french toast sticks. We finished eating and went straight to our private pool that Claire rented for three hours so that we don't have other people hanging out around us while taking more pictures.

Black and white ang suot naming mga bikini. Hindi naman ako masyado nag swimming, except when we actually needed to take pool pics. Tumambay lang ako sa sunlounger habang pinapanood sila mag saya sa tubig.

"What does it feel like that you're getting married in three days?" I asked Claire and she smiled before she answered.

Umupo siya nang maayos at kinuha ang aking kamay, "I'm scared, nervous. What if I trip down the aisle, what if I choke while reading my vow? What if it's all a disaster?"

I chuckled, "I'm sure you'll be fine, Claire. Kaya mo 'yan, ikaw pa ba! Nandoon lang ako sa gilid so if you ever feel nervous just look at me, hmm?" I said softly to her. Bigla naman niya ako niyakap bago bumalik sa kaniyang upuan.

Bumalik na kami sa hotel room para magpalit ng damit before going to the area where there are a lot of expensive brands na alam kong mabubutas ang bulsa ko kapag bumili ako roon. 

"Rienne! Look at this Chanel purse. It looks so pretty you should definitely buy it."

Putangina naman, kasasabi ko lang na mabubutas bulsa ko e.

"How much is it?" I asked Alliyah.

"It's cheap for its price. Five hundred thousand pesos," she answered at halos madura ko 'yong bubble gum na nginunguya ko.

"Putangina ang mahal," bulong ko sa sarili ko.

"My treat! You deserve this, Rienne," Jaidene told me and I politely declined because that's too much! "No, I insist. Come on, get the bag."

Ang ending binili niya pa rin iyon para sa akin kahit nakakahiya. Pagkatapos no'n ay kumain kami ng early dinner before going back to the hotel room.

We wore our lingerie and took pictures. I decided to post my pics on my IG feed. Agad naman nag comment at heart ang mga admins ko. They were always the ones that are really updated sa buhay ko para ma-i-update rin nila ang mga fans ko agad kung ano na nangyayari sa buhay ko.

I was about to put down my phone because they all started talking about their future when they all decided to settle down when my phone vibrated.

R.Kai: kumusta ka? how is your day going?

I smiled. Kahit determinado akong hindi na siya balikan, hindi ko maitatangging napapangiti niya pa rin ako sa mga simple niyang ginagawa.

He knows that no one bothers to ask me how my day went. If it's going badly, I'd have no one to talk to about it. I just have to suck it up and sulk in a corner. Kapag naman masaya ako, gano'n pa rin ang nangyayari. I just bottle up every emotion and wait for me to burst.

Buti na lang nandiyan si Kaito. Masaya ako sa ginagawa niya. But I still need to restrain myself. Para hindi siya umasa sa akin nang sobra.

Fleu_: i'm doing fine. thanks for asking

R.Kai: no, i mean tell me about your day. what happened, what made you smile. everything.

Fleu_: have you not seen any of my IG stories? i'm sure you'll see there what happened sa araw ko ngayon.

R.Kai: i did not. ayoko makita.

Kumunot naman noo ko. Nananadya ba 'to? Nawala tuloy 'yong good mood ko!

R.Kai: don't get mad, rienne. i could imagine your face frowning right now hahahahaha

R.Kai: i purposely didn't view your stories because i want you to be the one to tell me about your day.

Okay... Akala ko tinatarantado niya na ako e.

Fleu_: puwede ba akong tumawag? tinatamad na kasi ako mag type.

It was taking him too long to reply. Ano na kaya ang nangyari roon? Weird. Wait, ano naman kung hindi siya mabilis mag reply? I don't have the right to demand for his time. Fuck, Fleurienne, use your mind!

Akala ko hindi na siya magrereply o papayag kaya nag type na ako ng NVM pero agad dinelete noong lumabas ang kaniyang message.

R.Kai: yeah, sure. always.

Hindi pa nagriring ay sinagot na niya agad ang tawag kaya tumayo ako sa akin inuupuan at lumabas sa may balcony. Wala na akong paki kung may makakita sa aking ganito ang suot ko. My fans already saw me wearing this so who else will give a fuck?

[Hey. Good evening, Rienne.] Bati nito sa akin so I smiled before also greeting him a good evening. [So, anong nangyari sa araw mo? What made you smile today?]

I bit my lip to stop myself from smiling. Ikaw... Pinangiti mo 'ko ngayon.

"So, we ate breakfast before going to the pool. Private iyon, walang tao kaya I was confident with the bikini I was wearing," paninimula ko sa aking kuwento. Na-realize ko lang bigla na masyadong energetic ang approach ko ngayon kay Kaito pero wala na akong magagawa.

Kailangan ko ilabas lahat ng nararamdaman ko ngayon e. He's my best shot right now.

[Did you put on your sunscreen? I remember how you used to tell me that you value your skin more than me,] I heard him laugh kaya natawa rin ako.

"Opo. I didn't forget, and yes, I still galue my skin more than you," I answered.

[Ouch,] he exaggerated.

"Do you want to see the bikini I wore earlier? I can send you a picture." I asked.

[Let me see!] He said excitedly, and my heart was happy because I am talking to him like how we used to. After I sent him the photo, agad siyang nag-seen. [You look breathtaking... And very very h-hot.] He even stuttered.

"Alam ko naman 'yon, Kai. Ano ka ba!" I joked. After that, tinuloy ko ang pagkuwento sa mga nangyari sa araw ko hanggang sa mapadpad kami sa ngayon.

"Now, I am wearing a white lingerie, waiting for my girls to call me because Claire will be opening our gifts to her tonight. Oh and I also posted my lingerie picture sa feed ko kasi why not?"

[Ano 'yon? You said you were wearing lingerie?] Hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya sa akin. [At pinost mo rin?]

Tumango naman ako as if he'd see, "Oo. Do you want to see rin ba?" I asked. Hindi naman siya sumagot. I thought we lost connection but when I checked the call was still on going. "Hello? Narinig mo ba ako?"

[Huh? Ano ulit iyon? Paki ulit nga.]

"Do you want to see me wearing my lingerie? I'll open my camera," I repeated.

[S-sure,] he hesitated.

I opened my camera and placed my phone down on the table so that he could see my whole body. I'm sure he was mesmerized by my physique, and probably has eyes full of lust. I'm sure this would be torture for him.

After a few minutes, nagsalita na siya. [Fuck, Rienne. You don't know what you're doing to me...]

"Then let me know," I answered boldly.

He said something but I didn't hear it because someone interrupted us. "Rienne, let's go. You can talk to your man later, Claire's about to open the gifts," tawag sa akin ni Mia so I sighed before standing up.

"Kaito, I have to go. I'll text you na lang later." I ended the call and went straight inside where the girls are now sitting on the floor in a circle.

I told Claire to open my present last. Tatlong regalo ang bubuksan niya. Ang isa ay may laman na damit at makeup, 'yong isa naman ay puno ng gamit na makakatulong sa kanila ng mapapang-asawa niya na magkaroon ng masayang sex life, and the last one is the one I filled with baby diapers, clothes, and things. It'd be just a joke to tease her that she can get pregnant any time soon now.

I saw her reaction when she opened the first box, she was smiling widely at me and all I could do was just return the smile to her. Natawa naman siya noong binuksan niya ang pangalawa. At noong pang huli na ay naging seryoso siya.

"You knew?" She asked softly and I was so confused dahil hindi ko siya naintindihan.

"What are you saying, Claire?"

"You knew that I'm pregnant?" Tanong nito at agad ako umiling.

"What? No! I just bought that as a joke to tell you that you can get pregnant any time soon!" I shouted and it took me a few more seconds to process what she said. "You're pregnant?!" I asked. Ngumiti naman siya sa akin at nakita kong pinipigilan na niyang umiyak.

"Yes," she cried kaya lahat naman kami ay nagsi-iyakan.

"Guys, I'm also pregnant."

Agad naman kami lumingon kay Glen before hugging her. Lahat naman kami ay nagcelebrate noong gabing iyon.

We were so happy for them!

"Cheers to Claire and Glen! To the babies, see you in nine months!"

I can't wait to also experience this.
