“I’m here because aunt Amanda told me that there’s no one who’ll help you prepare yourself for tomorrow so I’m here.” Phoebe explained for Yulo keeps asking her.

“What?! I thought send someone to—wait don’t tell me it’s you that she’s talking about?!” He was so stunned upon his realization. Phoebe just nodded to confirm his inference, then stood up and went to his kitchen. Her mother taught her how to do household chores that’s why what she’ll do today is just a piece of cake. Phoebe know every details in Yulo’s condo for she always visit him here for the past years.

“Have you eaten already?” She asked him when she felt that he’s following her. She opened the refrigerator and saw that it was full with different vegetables and meat.

“Looks like not yet, just sit first as I cook for you okay?” Phoebe answered her own question because it seems that Yulo has no plan to talk to her he’s just looking at her with moue. She turned her back at him and looked at the fridge again to get chicken and other needed iingredient. She will cook tinola for him.

Phoebe started peeling and slicing the ingredients, when everything is ready she started cooking and after just a few minutes she’s done. She place the plates and cutleries on the table so that they could eat already, for she’s starving also since she didn’t ate dinner earlier at their house.

She was comfortably sitting on the dining when Yulo stood up, she thought he’ll left her there but she was wrong for he just went to the refrigerator and get the pitcher of juice. She smiled a bit then started putting rice on Yulo’s plate, and tinola in his bowl. After that they ate together peacefully. She’s about to wash the dishes when Yulo insisted that he’ll do it so she just agree for she does not want them to argue.

“It’s getting late you can go home now.” He said later on, which made Phoebe rolled her eyes. Yulo is really allergic to her presence.

“I’m staying here, I still need to iron your clothes and cook your breakfast.” She said as she shrugged her shoulders.

“You don’t have to.” He answered

“But I want to, and besides you have a guest room here so it’s just alright if I sleep here, I also brought clothes for me so no worries.” She said then walked out of the kitchen and didn’t wait anymore for Yulo's response.

She went straight to the guest room of this unit holding her bag pack where her necessities are. She went inside it’s bathroom and started cleaning her body with the warm water coming from the shower. After that she laid on the bed and closed her eyes but she’s not getting sleepy even an hour has passed already. So she decided to stood up and try to drink milk hoping that it would help her sleep.

It was already dark on the receiving area as well as the balcony, seems like Yulo is asleep already. She walked straight to the kitchen and looked for milk that luckily has in the refrigerator. She filled her glass and put it inside the microwave and preheated it. After that she drank it all and went out of the kitchen and was planning to go back to the guest room. But she stopped when she saw that there’s someone sitting on the sofa, she can’t see it clear for its dark. But when the man faced her she was relieved to saw that it was only Yulo.

“Why are you still awake?” they asked each other the same time. She scratched her nape and answered him.

“I can’t sleep that’s why I got myself milk, how about you? “ she said

“I was thinking about something. But I guess I have to sleep now, my meeting tomorrow is quite early.” He said then stood up and went inside his room while Phoebe stare a few seconds on his room's door before she decided to sleep already too.
