KHIANA's POV"KHIANA... I WANT YOU."And I know to myself that I want him to. That he is the one I desire right now. Mahigpit na yumakap ako sa kanya. Siya naman ay bahagyang nag-bend ang likod upang mahalik-halikan niya ang aking balikat.Bumulong siya sa akin na nagbigay ng isang milyong boltahe sa katawan ko."Do you want me to, Khiana?" he asked me under his breath.I gulped hard to remove the slump on my throat. "R-Ryker...""Hmm?"I looked him straight in the eyes. "I-I want you too. You are what my heart desires right now."After saying those words, Ryker pulled me closer to him. We went inside my room without breaking our kiss.Ryker and I were making passionate kisses now in the bed as we interlaced our bodies and kissed and stroked one another. Due to the fact that this was my very first sexual experience, I was both anxious and aroused. I couldn't remember a time when I felt so alive, wanted, or desired.Kahit kailan ay hindi ako nakaramdam ng ganito kay Levi. Sa relasyon n
KHIANA's POV"ZARIA?"She smiled. "Yes! It's me, Zaria!""Zaria Javier?" I asked while my eyes widened.She nodded. "Yes, Khiana!"Bahagya akong nagulat sa natuklasan ko. Malaki ang pinagbago ni Zaria sa physical attributes niya. Maganda na siya noon, pero mas lalo pa siyang gumanda. Zaria is a 5 '9 morena. Iyong mga mata niya talaga ang hindi ko malimutan dahil lagi siyang napagkakamalan na foreigner dahil dito. Mahaba na ang buhok niya ngayon, noong college kami ay hanggang balikat niya lang ang buhok niya at mas wavy na rin ang buhok niya ngayon. Sobrang laki ng pinagbago niya, in a good way. Tingin ko ay kahit sinong lalaki ay mabibighani si ganda ni Zaria.I hugged her tight and gave her a warm smile after. "Grabe ang glow up mo, Zaria! Halos hindi kita nakilala. You're so pretty!" I said, complimenting her.She smiled and I can see that she became a bit shy by my praise. "You're flattering me too much! It's been a long time, Khiana!""Yeah, it's been a long time."Zaria is also
ZARIA's POVI WANT TO BE ACCEPTED FOR WHO I AM.During our time together in college, Zavier, who is my cousin, introduced me to Khiana. Because Zavier and Khiana were enrolled in the same class, it was convenient for all of us to spend time together. When we initially started hanging out together, I didn't pay much attention to her.However, as time went on, I began to understand that I had emotions for her. When I initially started getting to know her, I attempted to brush off these sentiments, believing they were nothing more than a passing infatuation, but the more I got to know her, the more I fell in love with her.Yes, I loved Khiana.Not just a friend but romantically.Gustong-gusto ko siya pero hindi ko alam kung paano ko nga ba sasabihin sa kanya ang nararamdaman ko. Hindi ko alam kung paano ba ako magiging honest sa kanya sa nararamdaman ko."Zaria, tara kain tayo sa Popeyes. Sama ka ba?" malambing na tanong ni Khiana sa akin."Syempre naman."I really cherished every moment
ZARIA's POV7 P.M.Kanina pa ako kinakabahan. Naisip ko na ito na ang chance para masabi ko kay Khiana ang totoong nararamdaman ko sa kanya na matagal ko ng itinatago. I'm here at Primo Bar since 6pm to wait for her. I'm excited and anxious at the same time.Panay ang tingin ko sa pintuan para tingnan ang mga pumapasok sa tao. Pagkalipas ng limang minuto ay nakita ko ang pamilyar na lalaki na naglalakad papunta sa gawin ko. My forehead creased, I don't know what he's doing here. Why is he in front of me? What does he need?"Ryker? What are you doing here?" I asked.Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit si Ryker ang nasa harapan ko ngayon himbis na si Khiana.My heart was thumping frantically in my chest as I stood up. Hindi ko man lang naisip na pwedeng hindi si Khiana ang kausap ko sa telepono kung hindi si Ryker."Nasaan si Khiana?" tanong ko."She's not coming," he said in his deep voice. "Because it was me who texted you, not her."Biglang nagsink-in agad sa utak ko ang sinabi niya. I
RYKER's POVI AM SO DAMN IRRITATED!I could see from Khiana's eyes that she's sad that her old friend was leaving. Hindi naman niya kailangan sa buhay niya ang babaeng 'yon dahil nandito naman na ako. She's just a hindrance to the both of us.I need to calm down. I am being needy.Yes, I wanted Khiana all for myself.No one can look at her. No one can touch her. Just me."She's mine..." I said under my breath.I bit my lower lip. Maybe my celibacy was the reason I suddenly became obsessed with Khiana. I haven't touched a woman for a long time, and when we had sex, it felt so amazing that I lost my shit. She made me forget my name.Mabilis ako na nag-type sa cellphone ko ng message. I won't be meeting her tonight.To: KhianaI am quite busy...I won't be able to see you tonight.Wala pang isang minuto ay nag-reply na siya sa akin.From: KhianaOkay! Take care!But I lied. Hindi totoong busy ako. I just wanted to be alone and try something new again. Gusto ko lang muna mapag-isa at masi
RYKER's POV"WHY THE HELL HE'S HERE?Nakaupo siya sa sofa sa living room ng hotel suite ko. He's leaning on my couch and relaxing as if he's very comfortable. As if it's his place. Binato ko siya nang masamang tingin.After Khiana and I made love, agad na nagpaalam ako na babalik sa suite ko. Then, this is what's waiting for me? I don't want to see his face or hear his voice. Alam ko na hindi na naman siya titigil sa pangangaral niya sa akin. T'saka baka pinadala pa siya ng pamilya ko para sirain na naman ang kasiyahan ko. I am so fucking tired."To talk to you, obviously.""What do you want, River?"He's River Villanueva, my best friend. We're the same age, and just like me he's a business owner. He's more serious than me, and I can say... more boring. But to be fair, madalas si River ang taga-linis ng kalat ko. He doesn't support my bad decisions, pero kapag ginawa ko na ay wala naman siyang magawa. Tinutulungan niya pa rin naman ako.I remember one time na siya ang nagbail-out sa a
KHIANA's POV"I'M KHIANA'S EX-BOYFRIEND."I didn't expect him to be here. He's the last person I can think of that will go to this place. Ano pa ba ang gusto niya? When he cheated on me, natapos na ang relasyon naming dalawa. Wala ng kailangan pang balikan."I don't care who the fuck are you! Fucking stay away from her!" Ryker shouted at him.Akmang susugurin pa siya ni Ryker pero mabilis ko 'tong pinigilan. This will do no good. Lalo na at nasa harapan pa kami ng hotel at maraming tao ang pwede makakita sa amin at sa nangyayari at nakakahiya 'yon.Nakita kung tumayo si Levi. "I don't also give a fuck if who you are," maangas na sabi nito. "I am here for Khiana. I'm going to talk to her. Who are you anyway?""Fuck you!" sigaw ni Ryker."Her rebound? Her new boytoy?" Levi smirked.Dahil sa sinabi niya ay nakatikim tuloy siya ng sapak mula kay Ryker. Tingin ko ay kaunti na lang at mababasag na ang mukha ni Levi sa bigat ng kamay nito. But it seemed like it didn't affect on him. He is st
KHIANA's POVI AWOKE TO THE SENSATION OF RYKER'S ARMS being wrapped around me, as well as the sense of the warm rays of sunshine that were coming in through the window. The events of the previous evening had been amazing, and as I grew closer to him in my sleep, I couldn't help but smile. Hindi ko alam kung may makakapantay ba sa nagMy joy, however, did not last for very long...The sudden ringing of my phone jarred me out of my state of pleasure. I stifled a moan since I didn't want to answer the question and spoil the mood. But I couldn't ignore the voice in my head telling me to look into it. Agad ng tiningnan ko ang caller ID, it was Eliz.Napakunot ang noo ko. Eliz is my close friend kaya alam ko na hindi 'to morning person. Bakit niya ako tatawagan ng ganito ka aga?For some reason, I felt nervous. I even hesitated to took the call. Before giving a response, there was a little pause during which my heart pounded rapidly in my chest."Hello?" I spoke out, scarcely raising my voic
