Chapter 8 - Low-key TanPat

At night, Patricia was at her bedroom, the lights were off except for the light of her phone, which was illuminating her face as she facetimes Tanya. It was a peaceful setting and there was a sense of comfortability in the atmosphere. The conversation between the two of them seemed to be very intimate and personal, like they were sharing a special moment. 

The lamp at Patricia's desk shines brightly, illuminating the space with a soft and serene light. The lamp was positioned near a desk with several notebooks and a laptop on top of it. There are also various art supplies including a pencil case, with an easel for holding up paintings, a sketchpad, a collection of small knickknacks, and some photos of Patricia's family and friends. The desk also has a few books and magazines near it. The entire area seems to be a makeshift art area that is organized and clean in its own charming way.

Patricia's room is a cozy and inviting space that she has arranged according to her own tastes. It mixes modern and traditional elements in the furniture and decorations, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The bed is placed in a corner with curtains on both sides to allow natural light to come in while retaining a spacious feeling. The desk and chair have space for an easel and other artistic materials, as well as space for books and souvenirs. The walls are filled with artwork and shelves that hold books and souvenirs, creating a relaxing and creative atmosphere.

Tanya on the other hand was sitting in a wheelchair, eating her dinner, at her dining table as she was talking to Patricia. Her tone was casual and she seemed to be in a good mood.

"Is your homework done?" she said to Patricia.

Patricia said to Tanya "Look, Tanya! I just can't do any homework right now, okay? My mind is so overwhelmed right now; I just can't focus. I have so many responsibilities at the student council, and it's causing me unnecessary stress. My brain just can't cope with all these responsibilities, so just give me a little bit of space and let me handle this in my own time."

Tanya replied, "Did you just enter the SGV so you could get excused from class? I told you it would be stressful; you didn't listen to me!" Patricia tells Tanya that her father wants her to become a lawyer at a great university. She says her dad believes her intelligence, beauty, and power, makes her a great leader. She says that her father thinks she could be a good lawyer and she needs to start learning how leadership flow.

Patricia says to Tanya with a tone of stress and determination, "My dad thinks I have real potential to do great things, and he wants me to take advantage of it. He thinks I can excel at anything I put my mind to, and he wants me to use my brains, charm, and influence to be a leader in my own right. He wants me to make something of my life, and I have to admit, it's pretty inspiring. He really believes in me, and I need to get my butt in gear to make him proud!"

Tanya seems concerned for Patricia and her stress. Her tone is firm but caring as she states her warnings.

Tanya says, "Patricia, you're stressing yourself! The justice system is so messed up, I can't even get used to it myself, but I have to suck it up." She says, "You're playing a dangerous game here ether Russian roulette or an Uno card here, once you add reversed card it will backfire on you or put a tall upon you, get it?" 

Tanya continued with a sarcastic tone, saying "Plus you're not good at compromising, you know what? you don't even have time management, after all, we are both strong independent women, but you might forget that you are not single! I'm your girlfriend~ I'm here! I'm not a roach! I didn't know when was the last time both of us date since pandemic!" 

Patricia sigh as she realized that she had been very busy these days doing every single problem she has independently that she depends on herself and forgotten that she's not single anymore and she had a girlfriend, she realized that there's no man in an island therefore she has to accept that she's working with her lover now, and her problems was hers swell. 

Patricia says' "Tanya… Tanya… listen, I know we haven't and both of us are busy but-"

Patricia stops and her eye frowned as she was stunned to see her lover eating chocolate alone, she says' "Is that chocolate? You're eating chocolate alone my love? You know you're not supposed to eat chocolate without me right?" 

Tanya replied, "I knew you don't want it, so I'll just eat it alone, I also knew that you loved me because you want to flex me" Patricia was shocked at Tanya's reason behind eating alone, she felt guilty to the point that she can't compose herself and felt flabbergasted. 

Patricia says, "Oh…I forgot it's valentine's day… my goodness Tanya! I forgot… I'll make it up right now! I'll call the driver to get into your house dress up alright?" 

Tanya replies back, "Don't bother it, you know what I want Patricia" Patricia's eyes frowned in confusion until she realized what Tanya wants this valentine's day, she sighs and put her phone beside her bed with the video call open and watches Tanya wheels and sets up her phone on her bed as well before sleeping with Patricia until their phone got low bat and the call ended itself. 

The video call starts with the view of their back as they sleep or they sleep with their faces at the camera; not caring how ugly they sleep.

Tanya woke up in the middle of the night it's 5:30 AM, she saw her phone with low battery; so she immediately grabs her charger to charge her phone and was being impatient to see Patricia on the video call as her morning call.

Tanya calls Patricia again, "Trish! You didn't sleep don't you?" Patricia rubs her eyes and looked at Tanya with a frizzy hair but for Tanya she's cute.

Patricia replies' "Yes I didn't sleep why? Is being a night owl and oversleeping a thing?" Tanya shakes her head but she smiles to see Patricia in her just woke up phase. 

Tanya says' "Trish? Ummmmm…. I have something to apologize for I hope it's not a big deal though…" Patricia then starts getting curious as she was still in her woken up state and trying to understand what Tanya tries to convey.

"What was it your trying to apologize for hmmm?" Tanya replies' "I didn't story you at my Facebook for valentine's day is that fine?" 

Patricia sigh, "Oh come on, who even cares about Valentine's Day? So what if you didn't share a story of me on Facebook? Let's just keep our profile lowkey, all right? We're the cool IT couple, but let's just keep our relationship low-key and not cause a fuss about it. I don't need the attention on social media unless it's in person, and I'm fine being the cool, private couple that no one knows we exist until they see us together in person again."
