INT. BEDROOM - EVENING

10:10 p.m.

KLEIN
Mukhang papasa ka na sa bar, attorney. Ang dami mo na ring tama dito, o.

ANDY
No.

KLEIN
No? 12 na kaya tama mo.

ANDY
Over 15? Ang baba. Still not enough.

KLEIN
Bakit naman not enough? Diba pasok na sa 75% 'yon?

ANDY
Pero Mom said na dapat I make sure may extra points ako especially if malapit lang sa passing mark 'yong score ko. At least 14/15 man lang sana.

KLEIN
Okay, tama na 'to.

ANDY
No. Can we play again? Until 20 cards.

KLEIN
Hindi. Tama na. Sabi mo 'di ba thirty minutes lang? Lagpas na tayo doon. Bukas na ulit.

Andy didn't answer. She just began fixing the cards back to its box.

KLEIN
Attorney?

ANDY
What?

KLEIN
Malungkot ka ba?

ANDY
No.

KLEIN
E bakit ka nakasimangot?

ANDY
I'm just frustrated sa score ko.

KLEIN
Pasado naman?

ANDY
Not enough. Naririnig ko na naman sa isip ko 'yong mga sinabi ng mom ko. She's right naman. Dapat hindi ako kampante na pang passing mark lang score ko kasi what if mabitin ako by one percent? Edi bagsak pa rin ako no'n.

KLEIN
Halika nga dito.

Klein gently heaved her up so she could sit on his lap. Her lips were frowning and the creasing on her forehead was prominent.

He inched closer to give her a kiss in the middle of her brows.

KLEIN
Ayan, nawala na kunot sa noo mo.

ANDY
Klein—

And then a kiss at the edge of her lips

KLEIN
Para 'di ka na rin sumimangot.

Andy smiled and Klein just continued to rain little kisses all over her face for her reward.

KLEIN
Ilan na 'yon?

ANDY
Eleven.

KLEIN
Okay, last.

He closed their gap by sealing her lips.

KLEIN
Ayan, twelve na.

ANDY
Okay. Let's sleep na.

She was supposed to get off when Klein cupped her cheeks to kiss her again.

ANDY
Hmm...

KLEIN
Sorry.

ANDY
You bit me.

KLEIN
Nanggigil lang ako, sorry. Cute mo kasi. 'Wag ka na magalit. Bawi na lang ako.

ANDY
I'm not mad—
