I woke up due to the persistent call in my phone, Edcharl's still deeply asleep, with half of his face buried in my shoulder and his hand wrapped around my stomach. Ilang minuto ko pa siyang tinitigan bago ko inabot ang cellphone sa aking bag. Sinagot ko ang tawag ng manager ko habang nakatitig pa rin sa kaniya.
Kahit tulog bahagya pa ring nakakunot ang kaniyang noo at nakanguso ang mapupulang labi. Magulo ang mahabang buhok na kulay brown, hindi pa rin siya nagbabago ng hair color. Although it's long been dyed, the color stayed vibrant. Bumaba lang dahil humaba na ang buhok niya.
"Leigh, good morning. Saan ka?"
"Hi, good morning. I'm on a trip. Tagaytay. Bakit?"
"Do you want to join the pageant for Miss World? You know there's an audition here tomorrow. I bet you'll like it."
Miss W
