Rei’s POV

"Hmmmm..." I stretched my arms the way I used to whenever I woke up.

Slam!

I snapped awake at the sound of the door closing.

I sat up on the bed and looked around. There was no trace of the girl I had sex with last night. I stood up to check if she was in the bathroom, but she wasn't there either.

Damn!

I sat on the bed. Maybe she was the one who closed the door earlier. She must have left already. Damn it! I also forgot her name. Sammy? Dannie? Moby? Sigh...

"Ahhhh!" I groaned and lay down in frustration. Who was that woman? Suddenly, I felt something on my back. It felt like I had lain on top of something small. I reached behind me to see what it was.

What the-!

A panty?

It belonged to the woman! I stared at it as I held it. Then, memories of last night flooded back. All the fragments of our sensual interaction rushed through my mind like movie clips. That woman was on fire!

She suddenly approached me and presented motives I couldn't resist. I was just a man. I couldn't suppress my sexual urges. And she was stunning. She possessed the sweetest smile I'd ever seen and adorable doll-like eyes. Her body was irresistibly hot and sexy.

Plus, she was vocal in bed, which turned me on immensely.

Last night was unforgettable! We reached climax twice. And... I couldn't afford to make a mistake. She was a virgin!

I smiled. I felt lucky, and I didn't know why. It wasn't the first time I had de-virginized a woman. But that woman was just... different.

I smiled again at the thought.

But she had already left. I wondered if I would ever see her again. I truly hoped so.

After getting dressed, I tucked the girl's underwear into my pocket. Perhaps I would come across her. It was important to ask for her name and return what she had left behind. It was quite naughty of her to leave her garment like that.

Leaving the hotel room, I inquired with the receptionist if she had seen a woman leaving recently, but she mentioned seeing someone hastily departing earlier. Exiting the hotel, I strolled along the beach, hoping to catch sight of her.

I had one item of clothing that needed to be returned. I couldn't help but smile at the thought.

But, where could she possibly be?

Gabby’s POV

"Gab!"

I turned around when someone called my name. It was Kesha, my best friend.

I was sitting in my cubicle at our office. Yes, in the office. I was back in Manila. I left Bora immediately after what happened. Since my vacation was only for three days, I decided to head back home.

And besides, I believed in the saying, "We live in a small world." No matter how big Boracay may have seemed, there was a possibility that I would see Rei again. The man I made out with. Had sex with? Made love with?

My cheeks flushed and my body heated up at the thought.

I still couldn't believe it. God!

During my three-day vacation in Boracay, my virginity vanished like a bubble. And a stranger took it away. I didn't even know him. All I knew was his name and the fact that he was a bartender!

Am I disappointed?

Absolutely!

I had high aspirations in life. Being financially challenged and responsible for my little brother, who was my sole family, only added to the burden.

While my parents were still around, they were living their own lives and were divorced. Rather than deliberating where to fit into their plans, why not forge ahead independently, without relying on their support?

And what proved to be truly disheartening was my decision to vacation in Boracay with hopes of encountering a wealthy man.

Yes. Wealthy. But where did I find myself? With a charming and undeniably attractive bartender!

But what did I end up with? Nothing! Not only had I lost my virginity, but I had also lost my underwear!

But was I really disappointed? The guy was handsome. But he was just a bartender. He was incredibly hot, like, super hot! But he was just a bartender!

Was it wrong to dream? To pray that maybe, in Boracay, I didn't end up with a bartender but with a Billionaire or a Millionaire, perhaps?

Ugh! I don't know what to do anymore!

"How's Bora?" Kesha asked eagerly, her eyes twinkling! Shucks! What should I tell her?

"Well, I'm not a virgin anymore. And I lost my underwear." Like that? Was that what I should say? I didn't really enjoy Boracay because I was alone, right? And I couldn’t exactly say if I enjoyed Rei's company. Because... Well, I did enjoy it. But...

Damn it! Okay, fine! I enjoyed it, but it wasn't what I had anticipated when I landed in Bora.

Initially, I planned to meet a wealthy guy. Then, I wanted to hook up with one to figure out how to awaken my lustful soul--as my boss suggested. You're probably curious why I resorted to sex just to find my lustful soul.

Well, what choice did I have? If I got some, then I was not briefed on my options, and the only thing I knew was spreading my legs.

"It's fine..." That's all I told Kesha. The conversation would've dragged on if I had said more.

"It's fine?! That’s all?" she exclaimed. I instinctively covered my ears.

"Did you really have to shout?" I countered. Seriously... I wasn't deaf.

"Omg! That was Bora, Gabbriel Lane Tolentino! BORACAY!!! And you're saying, 'it's okay' as if it's no big deal!" She even mimicked my voice and how I said it as if I was disappointed.

"Well, that's all there was to it. Bora was just okay. It was still in Visayas. It hadn't moved anywhere. The sand was still white. The sea was still blue. There were plenty of people, tourists, animals, and fishes. And everything else, do you have any more questions?"

I was annoyed. I didn't know why. Was it because Kesha was so annoying or because of something else? I was just annoyed!

"Ohh, what a temper! I better leave," she huffed, then pouted and walked away from my cubicle. She's in a mood again.

"Gabby!" someone called me again. Sh*t! Are they going to ask about Boracay again? I'm not the Boracay guard, why do they keep asking?

"WHAT?!" I snapped, then quickly covered my mouth when I realized who called me. It was our EIC. She raised an eyebrow at me. I, on the other hand, looked down.

"G-Good morning, Ma'am Matias," I greeted. I was so screwed again! Our EIC were such a witch.

"I'm not deaf, so don't shout at me!" she shouted at me, drawing the attention of my officemates.

I lowered my head. "Sorry, Ma'am."

"Your sorry’s don’t mean a thing! Head to the studio; our photo shoot is piled up! Stupid!" she yelled, storming out of our office as if she were Miss Universe.

That woman was so mean! It was infuriating! If she hadn't had such a strong connection with the Big Boss, I might have slapped her with my camera! She was just a mistress, living lavishly. She might even have decided to get me fired from my job.

Damn. Let’s hope not.

"This is annoying!" I scratched my head and glanced at Kesha who rolled her eyes at me.
