Chapter 54: NOPI Chapter 52: Sleep over
NOPI Chapter 52
Sephine's POV
"Sleep over?" tanong ko habang tinignan ang barkada
Nasa parking lot na kami ng mansion nila Charles and well.. nagkaroon kami ng meeting. Hahaha. Nakakapagtaka nga dahil hindi sila napagod after ng lahat ng nangyari kanina, ako nga na nakaupo lang at nanood sakanila eh gusto nang matulog sa sobrang pagod.
"Yup, let's take advantage of this very rare chance now. The pre-finals are coming so sure na sure ako na mahirap nang magkita kita tayo't magsasama sama ulit" sagot ni Violet kaya naman napatingin ako kina Venus na tumango tango din
"Back to reality na tayo bukas. Since the party is over now, let's proceed to our own plans and because it's already quite late, let's have a sleepover" dagdag naman ni Ed kaya naman tinignan ko na si Charles na tumingin din sa akin
Ngumiti na siya saka ako hinawakan sa kamay.
"It's already 9 in the evening. I don't think it's still suitable to make a ruckus in Ed's hotel. How about we head to my penthouse?" tanong ni Charles dahilan kung bakit napatingin sakanya ang iba
"Penthouse?" sabay sabay nilang tanong
Nag-smirk naman si Charles saka inilabas ang kwintas niyang may susi at isang square na black card na pendant.
"Dad's gift," pagkasabi niya non ay nagsigawan na ang lahat at nagsisakayan na sa mga sasakyan nila
The penthouse is just 20 minutes away from the Royal Academy. Charles' father especially chose this for his own convenience.
Pumasok sila sa penthouse at dumiretso sa 10th floor na kung saan matatagpuan ang 5 bedroom penthouse ni Charles. From the private lobby, they walked into a foyer with white marble floors na katulad din sa marbled floors ni Charles sa kwarto niya sa Begley State.
Inikot ko ang paningin ko sa buong penthouse. It had a state of the art kitchen with whitewashed cabinets. There's also this gigantic 18-foot floor to ceiling glass windows in the living room making enabling us to see the beautiful view outside.
Sa sala namay may tatlong sofa na nakapalibot sa isang three feet na lamesa. Sa wall naman na kaharap nito ay isang 20-40 inched TV. Of course, there's also a hanging chandelier and dim lights featured in it.
Ang unang kwarto ay isang maliit na library na mukhang study room ata ni Charles.
Ang second room naman ay ang music room na karugtong lang ng unang kwarto along with five instruments in it - violin, guitar, piano, drums and bass guitar.
Ang third room nama'y ang master bedroom. May walk-in closet ito at master bathroom with big black and white theme vanity complete with a tub and a stand-in shower.
At ang pinakamagandang feature ng penthouse ni Charles ay ang roof top na exclusive lang para sakanya. A one of a kind 25-foot long private pool with a luxurious view of the city.
Nagtaka nga ako kung bakit kompleto na ang lahat ng mga gagamitin namin. From clothes, bathroom necessities, and even food.
Magtatanong pa sana ako pero nang makita ko palang si Charles na may kausap na clerk sa pinto ay hindi na ako nagtaka pa.
Hays. Rich kids.
After eating, we all went to the music room and did some karaoke - singing and dancing mixed altogether. It's unbelievable. Everyone had good voices and what's also shocking is that everyone could dance. If we're not the most awesome squad ever then what are we? Hahaha.
After ng karaoke ay naglaro kami. Board games, street games, and also card games. It's ridiculously fun and jolly.
After naman naming naglaro ay kumain ulit kami. It felt like we were gluttons or something.
After eating and fixing the kitchen, we all went up to the rooftop and played at the pool. As usual ay hindi ako naligo at as usual ay sinamahan lang ako ni Charles habang pinapanood namin ang barkada na masayang nagbabasaan sa pool.
Of course, sa lahat ng nangyari ngayong araw, after magpaalam ang both sides ng girls and boys ay tumungo na kami sa mga kwarto namin.
Sa masters bedroom kami pina-stay ni Charles habang ang boys naman ay sa guest room. Apparently, although the masters bedroom's king sized bed can fit five people at the very least, the guest room has a bed that can be stretched out to have three more.
Pagkahiga ko sa kama ay hindi ako nakatulog kaagad kaya naman tinext ko na si Charles to ask if he's already asleep.
[From Charles: Not yet. Want to watch a movie?] tanong niya kaya naman sinilip ko ang mga pinsan ko
Pagkakita ko palang sa mga sleeping positions nila ay nagpigil na akong tumawa at dahan dahan nang bumangon at nagreply na kay Charles.
[To Charles: Okay]
[From Charles: Meet me in the living room]
Pagkabangon ko ay sumuot na ako ng jacket saka kumuha ng unan at lumabas na ng kwarto.
Pagkadating ko sa sala ay nagulat ako dahil nandun na si Charles at nakaprepare na siya ng snacks and drinks together with some pillows and a blanket.
"Psychic ka ba?" tanong ko dahilan kung bakit siya natawa at pinat na ang katabi niyang upuan kaya naman tumabi na ako sakanya
Charles turned the lights down and put in a movie that I think he also prepared in advance.

Author's POV
Sephine's eyes were starting to drop by the time the movie finished, but she insisted on watching something else afterwards. She didn't want to waste the chance of being with Charles.
Bihira daw na magkaroon ng ganitong pagkakataon na magkakasama sama sila, tama ang sinabi nila. Although she was nervous and anxious about what had transpired earlier - the encounter with Charles' mom, after some happy moments and conversations with her friends, she then forgot all about it.
At dahil nga nagpumilit pa si Sephine na manood, sumunod kaagad si Charles. Within fifteen minutes they had both drifted off to sleep. With Sephine nuzzled against Charles' chest, and his arms wrapped tightly around her, they both had a long and comfortable night's sleep.
