Rising before the sun does...
SHE: Good morning! Have to go to the office early today. I'll talk to you later.
But he's been awake an hour earlier.
SHE: It's way too cold at this time of the day. Cold should be spent in bed dreaming or doing something...but not in a trike which somehow approximates the windchill factor that we only hear about on the Today Show.
Yea, she can be a talker this early.
SHE: Stop working muna.
She says this when she catches him in the middle of something called work.
SHE: By the way, did you ever get around to wearing underpants before you slept?
To be embarassed this early is actually not, only if the question comes from her. He replied, "Nope."
SHE: I am way too early. Or late. I don't know which. The person who waits in the same corner isn't here yet.
But he knows that she's not late. He knows that this early, she can be a worrier. But yes, she's late in a different way. She comes in too late in his life. But he doesn't want to spoil the morning with that quip.
SHE: Bus here. What do you mean I'm late with you. If I'm late, does that mean we've successfully made a baby?
He almost chokes on his own. So he asks what the bus looks like.
SHE: Like a tas trans bus. On the left side - that's where I sit - there's a space for 3 and on the right there's a space for 2. The door's in the middle part though. The bus coordinator is a lesbian but super nice and looks like a real boy. The driver is Mang Jo. We need to buy shuttle tickets from the office. Otherwise the other bus coordinator - a real gurl - gets mad. Hey! Aren't you proud? I'm able to make kwento without brushing you off!
She has a point.
HE: Bus coordinator. Now that's a new job I'm not familiar with.
SHE: Oh they're like konduktor? They make peoplesign the logbook and collect the tickets. Everytime I ride the bus I save at least 10 bucks and I also don't have to walk anymore since it parks infront of the office. Uhm babe? May I kiss your chin and rub my cheek against the stubble? Mmmm...
HE: In the bus?
SHE: Oh no. In the back seat of your car. Or front seat. I want you to...
HE: I should shave pero tinatamad pa ko.
SHE: I like the stubble. Gives it texture. And there's beard burn after kissing hard. It's like you know that something has happened. Don't you agree?
HE: Kiss me more then.
SHE: Oh you bet I will. Every inch of your face. Jaw line. I like kissing that. And your chin. I'll let you kiss me too. I can't think of what I'd want you to do! I just want you all over me. I don't care what you're touching or kissing or whatever. I just want some part of you touching some part of me every second.
Damn.
HE: You're gonna start something when you talk like that.
SHE: You find something wrong with that?
HE: It's absolutely naughty.
SHE: You know I could be just that. Naughty.
For the second time he chokes. It's major coronary if she says more to make him remember good stuff.
Too early to turn red. Or code blue.
Too early to grab some afternoon delight... Newton didn't say catching an apple could be this pleasing.

kids should know that...
Plato can be said to have believed that humans learn entirely through recollection. He thought that humans already possessed knowledge, and that they only had to be led to discover what they already knew. In the Meno, Plato used the character of Socrates to ask a slave boy questions in an excellent demonstration of the Socratic method until the slave boy came to understand a square root without Socrates providing him with any information.
