Author's POV:
It’s Saturday today. Matyagang inaantay ni Lia si Kendra at Gab dahil nga naka-schedule sila to hang out. Hindi na nag-paalam si Lia kay Ethan sa lakad niya ngayong araw since sa naa-alala niya pumayag naman ito nung time na humihingi ng permiso si Kendra na isama siya.
Maaga naman kasing umalis sa bahay nila si Ethan dahil sa importanteng lakad nito kasama si Harold at Edward, maliban sa usual morning greetings nila ay hindi na ito inabala pa ni Lia.
“Lia!” She turned around from where the voice is coming from.
“Kuya Gab!” Bati ni Lia kay Gab nang makita niya ito 'di kalayuan. Then, she shortly waved her hand from the excitement of meeting him after quite a while. Tumakbo si Lia palapit kay Gab.
“Lia don’t run.” Sigaw ni Gab, but the happiness upon meeting her is visible on his face.

Ang sarap nito.” Saad ni Kendra na kain lang ng kain. I am happy that she is enjotying but what I saw earlier bothers me. “Hey! Dahan dahan baka mabulunan ka. Don’t worry we’ll buy everything you want from here.” Saad naman ni Kuya Gab sa kanya. “Ikaw Lia don’t you like to eat? You want me to buy you something?” Tanong ni Kuya Gab. “Oh! No don’t bother Kuya Gab.” I took a bite with the tempura on a stick that I’m currently holding. Hindi parin maalis yung tingin ko kay Kendra I know she’s hurt with what she witnessed earlier but she’s not saying anything nor shows that she’s angry with Fernan. Natatakot lang ako na kahit sa tingin ko mabait si Fernan but what if she’s in a toxic relationship with him. I can’t af

Why won’t we try it today? Hmmm? Love?” His words made me shivers.“Well I remember I did told you that -- but – “ I stuttered.“You look so tense. We did it once already.” Nabingi yata ako saglit sa sinabi niya. I was about to say something but I got shocked when he pulled me up a bit making me tiptoed. He kissed me. His left hand pulled my nape more asking me a reponse. I arched my arms at the back of his neck as I am kissing him back, our kiss got more and more intense each second. After some time, we pulled from the kiss to breath some air.“Why are you punishing me it wasn’t even my fault that you gave permission for me to hang out
continuation... Lia's POV: Nakauwi ako after an hour of being with Kendra, I placed the sleeping Onion on his bed basket carefully. Nakita ko si Ethan na mahimbing ng natutulog sa kama ko. I decided to took a half bath to freshen’ up myself. After kong gawin yung night routine ko tumabi na ako kay Ethan. Before I close my eyes, napatitig ako sa kanya. Aside from admiring his perfect feature looking so fine while in a deep sleep, naisip ko yung napag-usapan namin ni Kendra kanina. “Baka hindi ko rin kayanin kung darating ang araw na magbago ang lahat sa atin.” Saad ko as I hug my left arm on his waist at sumubsob ako sa dibdib niya. It isn’t always happy in a relationship and yes kung si Kendra natatakot sa mga nangyayari sa kanila ni Fernan ganoon rin ako. I am afraid if something will happen that the two of us can’t handle. “Hmmm..” Ethan hummed as he felt my

I can look for it.” Bati at saad ng staff ng pharmacy.“No need I’m not looking for any meds.” He said sabay ngiti sa staff, infairness kinilig si ate pero nagulat naman sila pareho nang may padabog na pumasok sa loob ng pharmacy.Sakto rin na kakapulot lang ni Lio sa bibilhin niya na nasa gilid lang ng counter, hawak hawak na niya ito habang nakatingin sa kakapasok pa lang na babae na nakasimangot at padabog na naglalakad malapit sa kinaroroonan niya.“Haiishh!” Lio uttered while changing his gaze from Hannah (who just went in) to the staff (who is looking at Hannah too). “I’ll take this.” Lio casually said that made the staff look back at him and smile maliciously.“Strawberry flavor is nice but how about trying it with

This time napansin na siya ni Lio na hawak na ni Hannah ang bagay na binili niya kanina.“Put it back on the dashboard, don’t try to open it.” Lio simply said as he focus his gaze back on the road.“Why?” Hannah asked, she got curious. Ganyan naman kasi tayo kapag sinabihan tayong HUWAG or DON’T mamatay tayo sa gigil.“Just don’t.” Naiiritang saad ni Lio, he don't want to answer her.Hindi naman nagpatinag si Hann

I thought its okay and you understand him.” Lia s
