Laure Ri Daza's Point of View

"How was it? Tell me, Laure. You have to tell me." Ito agad ang naging bungad ni Mirage nang pumasok ito sa loob ng apartment ko. It's been two days since we went to the club and it's been two days since I last saw Hiro, the man I'll be hooking up with. I mean, the guy I'll be having an external relationship with. Sa tingin ko ay mas magandang pakinggan ang huling sinabi ko. If Creed have Adelaide, then I have Hiro. Fair enough, I think. Tuloy-tuloy lang sa pagpasok si Mirage sa loob at sinundan naman ito ni Cass.

"Hey, Laure. Hindi ko na mapigilan si Mirage at gusto niya malaman ang nangyari matapos mo kaming iwan sa club nung nakaraan." Cass said and entered the place. Dahan-dahan kong isinara at nilock ang pinto bago ko sila harapin.

"Hindi talaga ako makapaghintay sa sasabihin mo Laure. Pinigilan ko talaga ang sarili ko na hindi kita itext para marinig ko ang kwento mo ng personal." Saad ni Mirage. Base sa suot niya ngayon ay mukhang pagkatapos niya sa kanyang trabaho ay dito na agad siya dumiretso. Cass owns a car, Mirage probably tagged along. Bumaling ang atensyon ni Mirage kay Cassidy na ngayon ay nakaupo sa sofa habang hinihilot nito ang kanyang balikat.

"Even Cassidy can't wait for what you're going to say." Mirage looked excited. I put my hands on my waistline and looked at them.

"Mirage you just got out from work. Where are you getting all that energy from?" Sambit ko dito at umupo na rin sa sofa katabi ni Cassidy. I leaned backward and looked up at the ceiling.

"Syempre! Iba pa rin kung makakarinig ako ng chika mula sa'yo. Kaya huwag mo na kami paghintayin pa."

"If you're wondering, we didn't do it." I puff some air. We just kissed that night. Habang inaalala ko ang mga gabing iyon ay pakiramdam ko nakadikit pa rin ang labi niya sa akin. The kiss was hot that's why it lingers.Tinaasan naman niya ako ng kanyang kilay. Nagkibit balikat na lang ako dahil kung ayaw nila maniwala sa sinabi ko ay ayos lang naman sa akin.

"What? I'm not buying it. I saw him kissing you and pulled you out in the club!" Histerikal na sabi ni Mirage at kailangan ko pang humawak sa aking tenga para tingnan kung malapit na ba akong mabingi dahil sa lakas ng boses niya.

"The club's light was dim. I couldn't see his face properly. But I also saw how he pulled you out of the club, Laure." Cassidy commented softly.

"We kissed. A lot. Both of us agreed to hook up." Pagaamin ko sa kanilang dalawa. I think it's better to be honest especially now that Mirage's glare almost poked a hole on my skin. Tumili naman nang malakas si Mirage habang nakatabon sa throw pillow and mukha niya. Si Cassidy naman ay napaawang ang labi sa gulat.

"Oh my gosh, Laure. I mean wow. I don't know what to say. Alam na ba ni Creed?"

"Hindi ko pa sinasabi." I know I have to tell it to him Creed but I didn't have the timing to say it.

"Pero hindi ako naniniwala na nagkiss lang kayo, Laure."

"Maniwala ka man o hindi, Mirage. We just kissed. We decided to see each other again this weekend." There, I said it. Mukha kasing wala akong takas sa kanilang dalawa kaya naman pati ang usapan namin ni Hiro ay nasabi ko sa kanila. We exchanged phone numbers last time and so far, we already exchange text messages. Bago pa namin magawa ang bagay na 'yon ay may bigla na lang tumawag sa kanya. He told me it was important so we couldn't do what we're supposed to do. Gusto pa nga niya akong ihatid sa apartment ko pero agad akong tumanggi. I decline firmly. I think we're not close enough for him to know where I live. Mabuti na lang at napilit ko siyang ihatid na lang ako sa sakayan ng bus. He was hesitant at first but agreed when he realized that he got plans. Wait a minute, not close enough but I let him kiss me? I need to rearrange my thoughts.
