"Kumusta nga pala ang boss mo?" tanong ni Summer na siyang bumulaga at gumulat sa sistema ni Osiris.
"Okay naman," sagot ni Osiris at hindi na itinuloy pa.Hindi na niya sinabi pa sa dalaga ang mga nasa isip niya kanina. Nagpatuloy ang mga araw na pareho silang naging busy. Ihahatid ni Osiris si Summer sa shooting kapag umaga at susunduin niya kapag gabi. Ilang linggo na rin ang nakalilipas.Weekend ngayon, tinawagan ni Osiris si Summer. Nalaman niyang walang shooting ngayon kaya naman nagpasya silang lumabas. Tinapos muna nila lahat ng kanya-kanyang ginagawa at nang matapos ay nagkita na sila.Inabot na sila ng hapon sa paggala hanggang sa makarating na sila sa dagat. Bitbit ang mga alak at pagkain na napagkasunduan nilang bilhin. Pinapanood nila ang sunset habang nagkukwentuhan at nag-iinuman."Mula nang natanggap ka sa lead role na 'yan, ha, sobrang busy mo na. And paganda ka lalo nang paganda," saad ni Osiris."Oo, masyadong busy. Ikaw rin naman, e! Ano ba pinagkakaabalahan mo? Driver ka pa rin saka tagaluto ni Mr. Cesar?" tugon naman ni Summer.Hindi kumibo si Osiris sa halip ay nanahimik lang."Kailan ilalabas ang series mo?" tanong ni Osiris."Matagal pa, siguro after nitong Christmas. January or February gano'n, 'di ko sure.""I'll wait for it.""Papanoorin mo?""Why not?""Tsk, aasarin mo lang. Pipicturean mo mga pangit na anggulo saka mo ko pagtatawanan.""How did you know?""See!""Just kidding, ha ha ha! I'll support you of course, because I like you.""Okay?""I like you Summer. Gusto kita.""Lasing ka na ba?"Hindi nagsalita si Osiris, ngumiti ito at sinira ang maliit na distansiya nila sa isa't isa. Ang mga sumunod na nangyari ay naging mabilis at mapusok naman ang kanilang mga sariling kaagad na nagpadala sa bugso ng emosyon at kalamnan."Osiris, you're my first," ani Summer matapos ang kanilang nakahihingal na halik sa isa't isa."I like you, Summer." Halos pabulong na sambit ni Osiris.Nagpatuloy sila sa agos ng kanilang mga nag-aalab na damdamin na gaya ng alon sa dagat, isa lang ang patutunguhan at doon na nga sila nauwi.Right after they've had sex, Osiris fall into sleep and the last thing he said was: "I will court you Summer until you gave me your sweetest 'yes'".Naisuot na ulit ni Summer ang kanyang undies at bra. Ilang minuto na ring bagsak sa nilatag nilang sapin sa buhangin si Osiris."Okay ka sana, Osiris kaso... parehas lang tayong mahirap, kumakayod para sa kaniya-kaniyang pangangailangan. Driver ka lang at utusan samantalang ako, gustong yumaman. Alam ko ikaw rin, hindi ko pa kayang mag-commit sa love. Uunahin ko muna ang sarili ko." Iniwanan ni Summer si Osiris matapos sabihin ang mga salitang iyon. Naiwan ang binata na nagpapanggap lang na tulog, katabi ang mga bote ng alak. Narinig niya ang lahat. Malinaw.KUNG SUNSET ANG PINAPANOOD nila kahapon, at ang moonlight ang huling nasilayan bago pumikit ang mga mata— ngayon naman ay ginising sila ng maliwanag na sunrise.Kaagad na bumangon si Osiris nang maramdaman niyang humahalik na sa kanyang paa ang alon ng dagat. Hinanap niya si Summer at natagpuan niya itong natutulog sa loob ng kotse."Summer, you have 13 missed calls from your director," said Osiris in his deep calm voice.Nang maproseso iyon ni Summer ay nagulantang ang kanyang mundo. "Oh my gosh! Late na ako sa shooting! Hinahanap na ako, may director's call today. I need to be there.""Sige, ihahatid na kita."Hinatid ni Osiris sa shooting place si Summer at ngayon naman ay pauwi na nang bahay ang binata para maligo. Nang makauwi ay nakatanggap siya ng message mula kay Summer: "Mabuti na lang hindi ako pinagalitan ni direk, haha! Thank you sa paghatid."Napangiti naman si Osiris. Ang hindi alam ni Summer ay tinext ni Osiris ang direktor at sinabing magkasama sila ng dalaga kaya naman hindi ito napagalitan.Dalawang linggo na rin ang nakaraan at itinuloy ni Osiris ang panliligaw kay Summer. Sa pangungulit ay pumayag na rin ang dalaga at hayaan ang binata na gawin nito ang lahat para lamang makamit ang matamis niyang oo— bulaklak, chocolate, travel, eating at the fancy restaurants, etc. Lahat ginagawa ni Osiris para sa dalaga, lahat ng makakaya niya.NAGING MABILIS ANG TAKBO NG ORAS para kay Osiris at nagulat na lang siya at 5 PM na. It's time to go.Gustuhin man niyang masundo kaagad si Summer kaso rush hour na naman kaya wala siyang magagawa kundi pahupain ang traffic.Nakarating siya after one hour sa set kaso wala na siyang naabutan. Mabuti na lang at tinawagan niya ang director."Nasa'n si Summer? Lumipat ba kayo ng shooting place?" tanong ni Osiris."Ay, hindi po. Sir Osiris maaga po kaming natapos. Si Summer nagpaalam sa'kin, birthday raw ng friend niya," sagot ng direktor na nasa kabilang linya ng telepono."Alam mo ba kung saan 'yon?""Yes, sir Osiris. Pina-pasend ko sa'kin mga location ng mga artists ko para alam ko if nakauwi na siya. Wait forward ko sa 'yo yung location niya.""Salamat," ani Osiris at nakahinga ng maluwag sapagkat hindi na siya manghuhula kung saan pupuntahan ang dalaga.He ended the call. Inisip ni Osiris na birthdayan ang pinuntahan ni Summer at kung kanina pa natapos ang set malamang ay lasing na ang babae kung nag-iinuman man. He need to take her home just for her to be safe.Menos cinco para alas otso nang makarating si Osiris sa lokasyong binigay ng direktor ni Summer. Isa itong magandang bahay, hindi nalalayo sa ganda ng bahay ni Mr. Cesar mukhang mamahalin at mayaman ang may-ari.Maya-maya ay nakita niyang may lumabas na lalaki mula sa gate. Kasunod ng lalaking iyon ay si Summer. Bumaba sa sasakyan si Osiris nang makita ang dalaga. He was holding the flowers for her."Bakit ka pa sumunod? Sabi ko naman sa'yo, kukunin ko lang yung gift ko sa'yo. Nakalimutan ko kasi sa sasakyan." Nakangiti siya at masayang sinasambit ang mga salitang iyon kay Summer."Bakit hindi mo pa pinasok sa loob 'yan?" ngising sambit ni Summer."E, balak kong mag-roadtrip tayo mamaya! Wait," sagot muli nito at binuksan ang pinto ng sasakyan para kunin ang regalo para kay Summer."Wow! Nakabalot pa talaga," ngiting sambit ni Summer."Tara na sa loob," saad naman ng binata at hinatak ang dalaga papasok sa bahay.Sinundan ni Osiris ang dalawa. Naiwang bukas ang gate kaya naman malaya siyang nakapasok sa loob ng bahay ng lalaking iyon.Dinala siya ng mga paa niya sa malawak na garden. Napakalakas ng party music sa loob ng bahay ngunit wala nang mas lalakas pa sa kabog ng kanyang puso ngayon."Wow, ang ganda, Legacy!" ani Summer nang mabuksan na ang kahon."I know you love jewelries," said the guy that is now holding the necklace to fit it to Summer's neck."Hindi naman, but if it's from you, I'll surely love it." Hinawakan niya ang pendant na heart at makikita kung gaano siya kasaya."Ano ka? You told me that you love jewelries when we were kids!" Kiniliti ni Legacy si Summer hanggang sa tumatawa na sila pareho."I can't remember it, Legacy." Hiningal bahagya si Summer dahilan para maramdaman ng binata ang mainit na hininga ng dalaga sa kanyang leeg.No one knows that would be the beginning of something."Are you still single?" asked Legacy."What?" asked Summer."Don't tell me you forgot also our deal?" Legacy made an inched closer towards Summer."What deal?" asked Summer, she smiles, already knows what it is, just playing innocent.Legacy started explaining, "Here, in this place, 10 years ago, we made a promise before I go to study in Singapore.""Crazy!" Summer laughed, "Of course, I will never forget that!""So, are you still a virgin?" asked the man, brushing her hair."Yea, how about you?" Summer almost whispered."Hell, yeah!" Legacy whispered it to Summer's ears."Did you just reserved it for me?" asked Summer, looking straight in the eyes of the guy."Kinda..." Legacy sighed in full horniness."Legacy, do you have a girlfriend?" Summer's turned on.He touched her waist, "If I f*ck you now, you will be my first.""I am true to my words, Legacy." Summer is now ready anytime, "My feelings when we were kids did not change. I am willing to do my promise."Nagsimulang maghalikan ang dalawa na kahit sinuman ay walang makapipigil. Kanilang susundin ang pangako sa isa't isa na kapag tungtong nila sa edad na 18 at parehas silang virgin, at the same time, single, they will be each other's first experience in sex.Osiris just walked away with his broken heart, hearing Summer's moans, not noticing the bouquet of flowers meant for Summer fell down the ground.Summer lied.She really lied.If that lie would make her and his childhood best friend, Legacy will make their desire possible then she's willing to give up everything......even this poor kind-hearted guy named Osiris that she just dumped.THE DAY BEFORE Christmas had finally arrived, and the house buzzed with the promise of festive celebrations. Summer and Osiris had been looking forward to this day, eager to transform their home into a Christmas wonderland that would dazzle their friends and family.As the morning sunlight streamed through the windows, Summer and Osiris donned their holiday spirits, quite literally. Summer wore a cozy red sweater adorned with a jolly snowman, while Osiris opted for a green one with a mischievous-looking reindeer. They both chuckled at their choice of attire, acknowledging that they had fully embraced the Christmas spirit.The first order of business was to retrieve the boxes of Christmas decorations from the attic. The stairs creaked softly as they ascended, and the air was filled with the scent of aged wood and anticipation. The attic was a treasure trove of holiday memories, filled with boxes of ornaments, twinkling lights, and garlands of every shade and texture.With a sense of re
As Osiris assembled the crib, his hands moved with a tenderness that matched the anticipation in his heart. Summer watched him, her eyes filled with adoration. This was the man who would be their daughter's father, the one who would stand by her side through all the seasons of life.With the crib in place and adorned with a pink-and-white canopy, they added the finishing touches. Plush animals found their homes on shelves, soft blankets and quilts were neatly folded, and a cozy glider chair sat by the window, offering a place for late-night feedings and tender lullabies.The room was now a sanctuary of love and dreams, a place where their daughter would be cradled in the warmth of their hearts. They stood in the center of the room, hand in hand, their smiles reflecting the joy of this shared accomplishment.Summer gently rested her hand on her growing belly, feeling the subtle movements of the life within. "Our little girl is going to love this room," she said, her voice filled with w
Cameron's voice was laced with excitement as he chimed in again. "So, do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"A playful grin tugged at the corners of Summer's lips, even though her friends couldn't see it. "Ah, the million-dollar question, right? Well, we're keeping it a surprise for now. But trust me, I'll let you know as soon as we find out."Legacy's laughter echoed through the connection, a testament to the camaraderie that had been woven through the years. "We'll be waiting for that update, Sum."As the conversation flowed, Summer felt the distance between them fade. It was as if their voices were dancing on the same wavelength, a symphony of friendship that defied geographical boundaries. She could almost picture Legacy's thoughtful nod and Cameron's easy smile as they shared in her joy.In that moment, surrounded by the invisible threads of their bond, Summer knew that even though they were far apart, they were closer than ever. With Luca's progress, her pregnancy, and the storie
They move together rhythmically, their bodies slick with sweat as they both approach their climax. "Fuck," Osiris groans out loud as he feels himself getting closer and closer to the edge.Summer's eyes roll back in ecstasy as she comes undone around him, tightening around his dick so hard that it sends him over the edge too.They lay there panting for a few moments before Osiris rolls off of Summer and pulls her into his arms. "That was. amazing," she says breathlessly.Days passed by, and Osiris once again immersed himself in the intricacies of running his company. The office became a stage for his calculated movements and strategic decisions, his presence commanding the attention of his employees like a maestro leading an orchestra. The scent of freshly printed documents wafted through the air, mingling with the faint hum of computers and the soft rustling of papers as they were shuffled around.Meanwhile, at home, Summer's role had shifted from business partner to caregiver. She w
Summer and Osiris guided Luca upstairs, their presence a comforting anchor for him as he navigated the transition from the sterile hospital environment to the familiarity of his room. The staircase seemed to creak with joy beneath their steps, as if acknowledging their return. Luca's room awaited him, its door slightly ajar, as if anticipating his arrival.With a mixture of apprehension and relief, Luca settled onto his bed. The room enveloped him in its embrace, the scent of his own pillow and the softness of the sheets beneath him offering a balm for his tired soul. The afternoon sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm and gentle glow on everything it touched.As Summer and Osiris lingered in the doorway, their gazes filled with a mixture of pride and concern, they exchanged a silent understanding. Luca needed this moment, a space to process all that had transpired. Their absence was a gift, a sign of their unwavering love and trust in his strength.The room seemed to
The familiar sights greeted him—palm trees swaying in the breeze, a sky painted with hues of pink and orange as the sun began to set."Hey, welcome to Singapore," Legacy said, his voice laced with a mix of pride and nostalgia.Cameron's lips curved into a genuine smile. "Thanks, ‘Pa."As they exited the airport, the city unfolded before them. The towering skyscrapers, the bustling streets, and the vibrant cultural diversity were all part of the tapestry that made up Singapore. It was a place where the old seamlessly blended with the new, creating a unique and dynamic landscape.Cameron's thoughts swirled with a blend of emotions. Outside the airport, they hailed a car rental and were driven to their house in Singapore. After a few hours, they finally arrived at their destination. Unlocking the door, they stepped inside and turned on the lights, illuminating their new temporary home. With a sense of familiarity, they began to unload their belongings and settle in.As they sorted throu
