CARTER
“Did you check my phone?” Kinuha ko ang toothpaste at sa pagkataranta ko ay napadami ang lagay ko. Some of it fell on the sink.
“I didn’t. But your phone was right there at hindi naman ako bulag para hindi makita ang pangalan n’ya. See that missed call?” Itinuro niya ang cellphone ko sa counter.
“I don’t know why she was calling me.”
Tumaas ang isang kilay ni Chloe at saka humalukipkip. “Well, tell her to go call somewhere else if she’s getting an itch. I am not sharing you with anyone.”
Malalim na ang gabi at tulog na si Chloe pero ako ay mulat na mulat pa rin. All I wanted was a simple life with Chloe and our children. Kahit hindi pa s’ya buntis ngayon, alam kong masusundan si CJ sooner or later. Nag-ingat naman ako sa lahat ng mga babaeng dumaan sa buhay ko over the years.
