A/N: Hi!
In reading this part 2, I ask patience. Kasi aside sa mahaba 'to, like 28K words 'tong part na 'to, I also ask patience as you go through the whole story.
May you take your time as how Alyssa and Den took theirs... :)
It was fun writing this one. Sobrang fulfilling niya for me.
And, no, hindi 'to angst. Hahahaha.
Anyway, here you go.

Three knocks on the door when Den rushes towards it to see if si Alyssa na 'yung dumating, and she's not wrong.
"What the fuck is that?" Those words came out from Den's mouth involuntarily nang makita 'yung suot ni Ly for halloween.
Nakarinig siya ng tawa from behind and sure siyang si Ella 'yun.
"What? Cute kaya," Alyssa answered and walked past Den.
"Ly, hindi kiddie party 'to, why are you wearing a unicorn onesie!" reklamo ni Den.
"Besh, grabe ka, cute nga e! Odd one out," Ella defended Ly and nagpasalamat naman sa kanya si Alyssa.
"I told her na something like a vampire or anything for adults," Den answered back.
"She's not Ly if she won't do that," natatawang sabi ni Kiwi.
Den's portraying Cruella de Vil, si Ella naman ay Harley Quinn while Kiwi's a sexy vampire. Alyssa's wearing a pink unicorn onesie.
"Ly, picture kayo ni Den!" Ella said and ni-ready yung film cam niya. Ayaw pa sana ni Den pero pinilit siya ni Ly at inakbayan ito. Si Ella ang nakaisip na mag-mini halloween party silang apat. At first ayaw ni Den na pumayag but eventually, with the help of Ly's persuasion abilities, pumayag din ito. Only for Ly to go against the theme.
"Badtrip ka talaga," Den said as she sat beside Ly sa may kitchen bar, "bakit 'yan sinuot mo?"
"Wag ka na ngang masama ang loob dyan, aminin mo, I look cute," said Ly at ngitian si Den.
Nag-iwas ng tingin si Den and nodded.
"See, papayag din pala," Ly said, "you look good in your costume, by the way. Totoong nagpa-bleach ka???" Alyssa asked as she touched half of Den's hair na blonde.
"Stupid, syempre hindi, washable yan."
"Oh, but bagay sayo blonde," Ly commented.
"Buti nakapunta ka?" Den asked.
"Syempre. I feel guilty na for ditching you guys pag nag-aaya kayo, baka itakwil mo na ko pag hindi pa ko pumunta dito."
"I was about to na nga," Den jokes.
Ly pouted, "super daming ginagawa and deadlines. If I only know this was what awaits me e sana pala di na ko lumipat ng trabaho," reklamo ni Ly.
Den chuckled and stroked Ly's back, "kaya mo 'yan. 'Pag hindi e alam mo namang isang floor lang ang agwat natin."
"Hindi pa nga ako nakakabawi sayo for that night."
"Hindi naman kita sinisingil Ly," Den said.
"Kahit na. I still owe you one. You literally saved my life that night."
Napangiti naman si Den upon remembering.
It was a month after Alyssa started in her new work. They barely talked in that time kasi busy sila pareho nor see each other, kahit pa isang floor lang ang pagitan nila. One night, Alyssa came rushing in sa unit ni Den, it was almost midnight na.
