Down and down we go
And we'll torch this place we know
Before one of us takes a chance and
breaks this
I, won't be the one
No, I won't be the one.

I park my car in front of the massive building that has a spiral shape with a golden color in it.
I fix myself before going out. I gave the car key to the vallet and strided towards the entrance, where the security guard was looking at me with an awe expression.
"Good morning, Miss Dezmond."- masiglang bati nito na ginantihan ko lang ng isang tipid na ngiti.
Pagkapasok ko sa lobby ay tinanong ko muna yung babae sa front desk kung nandito ba ang girlfriend ko. Sabi nya kasalukuyan na nasa conference room daw ito at may meeting kaya naman nagpasya ako na umakyat na at duon nalang sya balak intayin sa opisina nya.
Kakauwi ko lang from states. Ako kasi ang kasama ng parents nya duon. Dapat nga sya e, pero sabi ko ako nalang dahil mas kailangan sya ng kompanya nila kesa sa akin.
Nag attend lang naman kami ng seminar. Since I'm dreaming expanding my business, Tito Alonzo told me to come with them.
Pagkapasok ko sa office nya ay tumungo kaagad ako sa couch para magpahinga. Wala pa akong maayos na tulog dahil pagbaba ng eroplano, sya kaagad ang gusto kong makita.
One week lang naman kaming naghiwalay pero hindi ko pala kaya yon. Hindi sapat sa akin ang video call lang. Gusto ko nakikita ko sya palagi.
Paranoid na kung paranoid pero ayaw ko talaga na nalalayo sa kanya. Muntik na syang mawala sa akin nuon at kapag naulit iyon ay baka mamatay na din talaga ako.
Nag inat ako ng braso at humiga nalang muna sa leather couch nya. Hindi ko namalayan na makakatulog pala ako.
Nagising lang ako dahil naramdaman ko na may humahaplos sa buhok ko. Babalikwas na sana ako kung hindi ko lang nalanghap ang mabango nyang amoy.
I'm facing her flat tummy. I don't know how I ended up lying on her lap. Maybe she came here while I was in deep sleep. That's why I didn't feel anything when she lifted my head up.
"Are you awake?"- she softly muttered, and stopped caressing my hair.
I just groan in protest and wrap my arms around her small waist. The warmth coming from her body is making me sleepy.
"C'mon wake up. Malapit na mag lunch."- imporma nya.
Binuksan ko ang isa kong mata at sinilip sya. Nakayuko sya sa akin at seryoso ang mukha.
We've been together for two years, but I still can't get enough of her beauty. The light coming from her floor-to-ceiling glass gives her an aesthetic vibe. She's a sight to behold anytime of the day.
"I missed you."- mahinang sabi ko at yumakap ulit sa kanya.
I heard her sexy giggles and I was forced to get up. I don't have a choice but to follow her. I ended up leaning back on the couch while massaging my temples, and there I felt her warm hand caress my face.
