Prisoner Of My Own Pains Glow Up Series 1
[Good afternoon, Green Bread food delivery, what's your order?]
"Ah, yes, can I please order a Overload Pizza. Then two spaghetti with chicken please." I replied crossing my fingers.
I'm not really used to this. Ordering a delivery food. But I've done this before, but I'm with my friends so they help me recite the order. Yes, recite, like what I said, I suck at social activities. So even talking in the phone is making me nervous and uncomfortable.
So Ali And Lory would write down our orders then hand it to me. They know I suck at phone call but they always say that my accent is great and both of them are scared as well.
[So it's one Overlaod Pizza, and two spaghetti with chicken. Is that all maam?]
I gulp bitting my nails not knowing what to say next.
That's all right? Siguro naman ay mabubusog na sila doon. I know the spaghetti is already enough but I want them to be full and not just survive another meal.
"Yes, that's all." I replied
[Can I have the address ma'am.?]
I pick up the small paper which contains's Jiro's address.
"Brgy. Poblacion, ****** street. Ilalim ng tulay. The delivery is for Jiro Oliver Engrasio. And I'll pay via Gcash." I replied, I heard the staff 'hmm' making me less tensed.
Then I remember, what if Jiro and his lola doesn't accept it thinking they still need to pay for it. I need to ask to give them a note.
"Uhm.. can you write this down then give this to Jiro?" I nervously asked crossing my fingers hoping it can be possible.
[Sure maam.] I took a deep breath and nod.
"Please write this down. 'Jiro, it's me Laura. Accept this food for you and your lola. You don't have to pay me. I just want you two to have something to eat.'
did you get it right?" I asked still fingers crossed hoping it sounds write.
Hoping it doesn't sounds like a crazy girlfriend.
But I'm not his girlfriend! Why do I even thought about that?!
[Yes maam, nai-sulat ko po. Don't worry po, makakarating po ito. Thank you for ordering in Green Bread Pizza.]
I smiled and ended the call. I sigh and go to my Gcash paying what I've ordered.
I just hope Jiro accept it. I know he's a bit shy but I really hope he will accept it. I don't want them to eat leftovers. It might be dirty and dangerous. That's more something to think kapag nagka-sakit sila.
This is the thing I can do to help them both.
I was deep in my thoughts holding my phone with my right hand when it suddenly vibrates. My brows and looked at it to see a notification from the Group Chat.
From Alipangot Ang Bagong Haliparot🧚♀️🧜♀️🧚♀️:
@Lauriat Kassandra, mag download ka kaya ng chess game app sa phone mo. Para at least kapag nasa bahay ka. Makapag practice ka pa rin.
I scrunch my nose about Ali's idea. Why did I registered sa Chess again? I don't even play and like it. But something's telling me to join.
From Gwen ver.2.0:
Oo nga Laura, pwede naman 'yon. Matututo ka rin doon.
From •Avery not Every•:
Or you can buy a small chess board. Mayaman ka naman. Kahit malaki na rin bilhin mo.
From Alipangot Ang Bagong Haliparot🧚♀️🧜♀️🧚♀️:
Oo nga, mas okay yung actual. Pero kung ayaw mo, do my suggestion.
I sigh bitting my lower lip a little. Thinking if I should just buy it or download an app. Both is a good suggestion. If I download an app, it'll be super handy. The app is in my phone and my phone is always with me.
But if I buy an actual one. I think I'll be more familiar with the rules and other stuffs about chess.
From Lauriat Kassandra:
I think I'll do both. I'll download then bukas, since it's Friday naman. After School bibili nalang ako.
I hit send and wait for them to reply. I tap my finger nails on my screen while waiting.
When my phone beeped I immediately looked who replied.
From Alipangot Ang Bagong Haliparot🧚♀️🧜♀️🧚♀️:
Ay wow! Okay lang naman, sana all mayaman.
From •Avery Not Every•:
Oo nga! Libre naman dyan!
I chuckled at their response. I started typing asking them if pwede ba nila akong samahan na bumili.
From Lauriat Kassandra:
Sige, lero samahan niyo ako bukas bumili.
From •Avery Not Every•:
Ay, hindi ako pwede. May pupuntahan kami ni Mommy.
From Alipangot Ang Bagong Haliparot🧚♀️🧜♀️🧚♀️:
Practice ng pakening band.
From Emory The Emo Queen 👸 👑🙌:
Hindi ako pwede, kasama ko tatay ko
pag-uwi bukas.
From Gwen ver.2.0:
n4kU bH!33, m4Y pUPunt4hAn k4m1 n1 M4d3r bUka$.
I chuckled while reading Gwen's reply. It's so hard to read. But I can still understand it. Gwen already sent plenty of this kind of messages here in group chat so we're kinda used to it.
From Alipangot Ang Bagong Haliparot 🧚♀️🧜♀️🧚♀️:
Ano ba naman 'yang chat mo Gwen?! Piste! Ang hirap basahin!
From Gwen ver.2.0:
Hindi mo kasi alam ang salita ng J3J3. Member ako ng Club nila. Ako secretary.
I chuckle reading them bicker. Gwen is a very sarcastic and the things called 'pilosopo' person then there's Ali who take everything seriously. Well, she can take jokes. But not all, sometimes Gwen joked about something then there's Ali who didn't even laugh but she looked so confused.
Then a day after she started laughing saying that she already get what Gwen means on her joke.
From Alipangot Ang Bagong Haliparot 🧚♀️🧜♀️🧚♀️:
Piste! Buti hindi ako kasama dyan.
Then a picture suddenly a appear. My brows furrowed and I eyed the picture. It was a picture of Ali back in 4th grade. She's wearing an off shoulder then a hair clip on her hair while she's doing a finger heart sign. Tongue sticking out. Lory is the one who sent a pic.
From •Avery Not Every•:
Sure ka hindi ka kasama sa kanila?
From Alipangot Ang Bagong Haliparot 🧚♀️🧜♀️🧚♀️:
PUTRAGIS KA!SAAN MO NAKITA 'YAN?! What the fuckkkk!!! ang pangit ko!
From •Avery Not Every•:
Hehehe😈 You know me bitch. I have a lot of photos to use for black mailings.
From Gwen ver.2.0:
Tanggaris na mukha 'yan Ali! Mukha ba 'yan ng matinong tao?! Mukha kang puke dyan!
From Alipangot Ang Bagong Haliparot 🧚♀️🧜♀️🧚♀️:
Shut the fuck upppp!!! Ka bwiset ehhh!!! Noon 'yon. Maganda na ako ngayon.
Gwen ver.2.0 is now offline.
•Avery Not Every• is now offline.
From Alipangot Ang Bagong Haliparot 🧚♀️🧜♀️🧚♀️:
Pisteng mga 'yon! Bye na nga, bye Laura!
I sigh turning off my phone and putting it at my night stand. I stared at the ceiling not knowing what to do now. I stand up, putting on my slipper and was about to leave when my phone vibrates. I sigh thinking it's probably them again.
I walk towards my night stand and pick up my phone. Once I saw who texted my eyes immediately widened.
From Jiro:
Call me, now.
I go to my contacts, panicking what's with his sudden text. Why do I hear his voice right now. It sounds, mad. I mean possessive.. no wait! Those men who are in movies when they are mad ordering things like this and that.
Once I found his contact number I immediately tap on it and press call. Within the first ring he immediately picked up.
"Hey-
[Why did you do that?]
I immediately shut my mouth as he cut my greeting. I purse my lips bitting my lower lip a little.
"Uhm.. because I don't want you to eat leftovers." I replied in a sorry tone. I don't want him mad honestly. For some reasons I don't want it. Tho I honestly don't care if someone is mad at me, but him. I don't want him upset and mad and I don't know why.
I hear him sigh [Laura, it's not that I'm being rude and not thanking you for sending the food. But Laura, you're not obliged to do that. We don't mind naman if we eat leftovers. Sanay na kami dun. You don't have to waste your money for us.] he said and I nodded as if he can see me. I purse my lips and started fidgeting with my fingers.
"It's not wasting money if you're helping. I'm just helping you. Please Jiro, nust let me do this one things for you and your lola. I'm gonna send you foods for dinner and that's totally fine with me." Explained fixing my position, sitting up on comfortably cause I think this will be a long ass conversation of me convincing him that it's fine if I send them food and also him telling me I don't need to do that.
[Laura... I don't know how to pay you.] he said and I sigh rolling my eyes a bit.
"Did you receive the note?" I asked raising a brow.
I heard him hum, [Yeah I have ,and I read there I don't need to pay you. But I'll feel bad if I not pay you.] he replied and I sigh.
"Let's have a deal." I said getting done with this.
[Hmm? Okay what is this deal of yours?] he asked,
"You will let me send foods and stuffs you need. Then as your payment. You'll be a personal assistant of mine." I said sounding like a strict secretary or what. But to be honest, I'm more nervous. What if he doesn't like the deal?
And he hasn't replied yet making me more tensed.
[Hmm? Let me think about it... deal. I'll let you do things you want such us send stuffs.But not too much Laura! I'm warning you. Just enough then I'll work for you. That doesn't sound that bad. Its actually a pretty nice idea.] he replied making me relief.
I thought he doesn't like the idea then continue to reject my offers. Its better that way, I can help them then he can also help me.
Hindi ko naman siya kakawawain. Maybe ask for some few stuffs will so. And since he's a smart ass, I can ask for helps regarding sa academic.
[What's my schedule tho? Like, ano ba, Saturday and Sunday I need to be free for you. Or weekdays?]
My eyes widened a bit thinking about it. I forgot about that. Of course he'll ask that. He's a smart one.
"Uhm.. I'll call you when I need you. Wala kang certain schedule." I replied and I hear him hum.
[Okay, but if in a week. You haven't ask anything from me, I won't accept anything you'll
give us. Okay?] he asked and I nodded.
"Yeah.. I'm sure I'll ask for something. Specially for school works. So always be with your phone. Cause that's the only access we can have." I said and he hmm once again.
[Yes Maam!] my eyes widened with his reply. Did he just..
"What's with that call?" I asked confused.
[Shouldn't I be calling you that since you're like my boss now?] he asked and I laugh.
"What?! No! You don't have to call me that. You can still call me Laura, or Kassandra. Whatever you like to call me." I replied then I hear him chuckle.
[Baby girl?] My eyes widened. Did he just call me baby girl?!
My brows furrowed and I look at my phone confusedly, what's wrong with him!? Does he know what he means? Or is he doing that on purpose?
"W-What are you talking about?!" I said stuttering and still tensed up.
My forehead is sweating so bad right now.
What the fuck?
Then he laughed..
[Relax, I wouldn't call you that. I just heard that from my friend kanina. I actually want to ask you something..] I raised my eyebrow.
"What is it?" I asked getting curious..
I heard him clear his throat.
[Are you lost baby girl?] my eyes widened and I started coughing. Then there's Jiro who's laughing so hard in the other line while here I am struggling to breath.
"What the fuck?! Did you watched 365 Days?!" I asked when I was able to breath normally again.
[My friends were watching that this afternoon. Then they let me watch as well.] My eyes widened, so it means. He watched the mature part?! So he's not a pure one?! He watched that?!
[Wait.. are you a pure person?] he asked and my brows furrowed..
"Of course..why? Do I look like a half person and a half donkey?" I sarcastically ask and I heard him laugh.
[No, what I mean is if you're an innocent one? I'm talking all these to you then baka na curious ka sa mga sinasabi ko tapos mag search ka. Then boom, you'll lose an amount of your innocence.] he explained, I tried so hard not to laugh but fail.
"What?! Hahaha, to be honest, I'm not innocent. I read manga, Yaoi, and smut. So I'm not, and I'm a little bit of an otaku so I've watched some." I replied then I hear him hmm.
[Yaoi? So you ship boys with boys?] he asked and I suddenly realized what I've said.
"U-Uhh... yeah?" I hesitantly said. Maybe he's one of those boys who hate that kind of conversations or topic..
[Well... I don't mind. Its up to you naman.] I sigh in relief. Gladly he doesn't mind it.
I bite my lower lip thinking if he have already eaten the food.
"Uh.. hey.. you already ate?" I nervously ask. I hear him chuckle..
[Lola did, she was beyond happy when the delivery arrives. So I prepared her spaghetti and pizza. I still haven't.] He replied and my brows furrowed.
"What? Why? You don't like it ba? Next time I'll change-
[No, it's not like that. I actually love it, I saw how lola eat what you've sent and she said it taste good. But I want to talk to you first before I eat it those. And now we have a deal, I can finally eat those without worry.] he replied and I chuckle.
"Why would you be worried?" I asked confused.
[Because.. I still feel guilty and I feel bad that you send us food and I can't pay you back. But now we have a deal. I can finally sleep peacefully.] he replied and we both laugh.
[How about you? Have you eaten already?] he asked making have this weird feeling. Making me smile.
"Uhm.. not yet, the food is not yet done." I replied and I hear him hmm for the nth time.
Then suddenly he groan making me shock.
[My mind is really tired. Chess is a pretty hard game.] he said making me blink multiple times as if im registering what he just said.
"Uhm..Jiro?" I called then he hummed.
"Can I ask you a favor?" I hesitantly asked but he laughed at me.
[Its not a favor if it's really my job to help you. Now what is my first mission?] he joked and I smiled a bit.
"Busy ka ba bukas after school?" I nervously ask bitting my nails.
He didn't reply that instantly.. so I waited for few moments.
[I guess I'm not, I think our practice will be whole day but it'll end by 5pm. Why?] he asked and I swallowed the lump inside my throat.
"Can you.. can you fetch me bukas sa OLLA? Then samahan ako somewhere?" I asked starting to get sweaty on my forehead again.
[Sure..no prob.] He replied and I smiled..
"Laura! Kain na!" I heard lola shout from outside my room..
"Oh shit! I gotta go now Jiro.." I said
[Oh sure..bye] he bid a goodbye..
"Yeah.. bye, love you!"
