I peeked at the only light in the midst of darkness. From the night vision of my rifle, I saw my target moved, just a few meters in my front. I grip my gun tightly, ready to shoot but my head cocked when the target fell, though I didn't even pulled the trigger of my rifle.

I looked at my side when someone tapped my shoulder. "Bagal mo!" Dellany muttered as a smirk formed in her lips.

I was about to answer her when I felt the unfamiliar movement of my heart. Frown immediately etched in my forehead as I sense a bit of familiarity in it.

I've felt this before. In that woman. Whenever that woman is near me, like how my inside's reacting right now.

"Archer!"

Nag-angat ako ng tingin mula sa pagkakadukdok sa table ng library.

The bright smile is now plastered in her face as she giggled beside me. "You know me, right?" She's hopefully nodding her head in me.

I surely know you, Priscilla Auriese Gallardo. Two years accelerated. First year college, taking Bachelor of Science in Accountancy course. Twin sister of Preston Austin Gallardo. What else, honey?

"You can call me Aurie. Pwedeng paturo?" She asked while pointing her book when I didn't answer.

I frowned as I saw the topic. She's accelerated, right? The topic she was saying is a basic one. Dapat ay alam na niya 'yon.

I stared at her eyes and immediately shook my head before turning my back on her, leaving her in that table. Dire-diretso akong lumabas ng library kasabay ng pagkalma ng aking kalooban.

The violent reaction from my insides vanished as I walked away from her. What the fuck is this? I never felt this from anyone but her. Sa dami ng babaeng nakakasama ko, sa kanya ko lang nararamdaman ang ganoon.

That kept me bothered for I don't know how long. Then Dellany came, the real Dellany, giving my insides the same reaction as that woman, Auriese.

An unexpected call from Atty. Prestin Gallardo made me realized that I am such a fool. I am a lawyer yet I am a fool for not realizing I am inlove to Aurie since back then. I'm such a fucking idiot!

"Attorney Fonacier speaking."

"This is Attorney Prestin Gallardo from Anderson Law Firm."

I frowned a bit. From Anderson? They have a firm, right? Gallardo Law Firm. "By chance, is this Attorney Preston Austin?"

"Yes, Attorney."

To received a call from a lawyer from a different firm is unusual. I shifted on my seat. "Good afternoon, Attorney. What's with the sudden call?"

"I know you're not accepting urgent cases. But can you at least see this one. My sister needs a lawyer."

I reminded myself to record the number afterwards.

Not accepting urgent cases my ass. Basta si Aurie, ayaw ko man ay wala akong magagawa. Tila may sariling isip ang aking katawan. Fuck, my insides can't say no to Aurie.

"Attorney Fonacier," I extended my hand and continued. "Your brother called me, I'm your lawyer."

I'm cursing inwardly as I felt the familiar violent reaction as she's near me. For fuck's sake, calm down, fucker!
