White Lies

Safe Word

Nakakaloka! Kaya pala nakatambay sa labas ng kwarto mo si Rona. May ganitong ganap. "

Aga removed his arm and scooted away from Lea.

"Vice, uso kumatok." Lea said as she sat up straight on her bed.

"Bakit? Uso din naman mag-lock Madam. Kakarating ko pa lang binubwisit nyo na ako agad."

Vice went further in the room to drop the food he brought also for Lea.

Aga mouthed 'I am sorry' to her and she shook her head in assurance that its all fine.

"May food ba kayo? Empanada lang dala ko, ang bagal naman kasi ni Dawn, siya tong may dala ng dinner eh." Vice asked.

"May sushi diyan baka gusto mo, tirahan mo lang si Rona, hindi pa kumakain yun." Aga offered.

"Kain kayo oh, empanada gusto nyo? Ags?" Aga shooked his head. "Ikaw Lei?"

Lea nodded as Vice handed her a piece.

She took a bite and surprisingly she loved it. She nudged Aga by her knee and offered him the empanada for a taste. Again.

So he leaned in and took everything in his mouth.

Lea giggled and slapped him in the shoulders.

"Akala ko ba ayaw mo?"

"Nagbago na isip ko." he chuckled.

Little did they know Vice was watching them like a hawk from afar.

"Hindi ko alam kasama na pala pati virus sa sharing of assets. Ikaw ang may sakit Lea di ba, bakit kailangan sinusubuan si Aga, injured siya? Injured? Ilipat mo na kaya sa kanya yang swero mo."

Lea just rolled her eyes.

"Hindi niya na daw kasi maubos, kaya binigay sa akin. Kinain ko na lang kesa masayang."

"Ano ka aso, taga kain ng tira? Gigil nyo ko ha." Vice retorted back.

"Ang dry ha, wala ka bang dalang panulak Vice." asked Aga.

"Dry ba Ags? Lubricant gusto mo." Vice offered.

"Vice! Ano ka ba." Lea butted in.

"Eeeeeeh! Wala nga. Nakalimutan ko. Wait message ko si Dawn para magdala."

Vice took out his phone and texted Dawn.

"Okay lang Vice, meron vendo diyan eh, wait bili ako. Ano gusto nyo iced coffee?"

Vice gave a thumbs up trying to chew on mouthful of sushi he just put on his mouth.

"I can't bawal pa sa akin muna coffee. Mag juice lang ako, I think I have there sa ref."

Aga leaned in and looked her in the eye.

"Sigurado ka, baka may gusto ka pang iba?" Aga asked.

Lea shook her head and smiled.

He looked down on her lips and back to her eyes again.

She lifted a hand and playfully pinched his nose.

Got it. he thought.

--

"... Thank you sa dinner Dawn. Nabusog ako."

Aga looked at Lea busy talking to Rona for last minute instructions.

Rona looked back to him and nodded.

"Okay ka na? Sige lets go. We'll go ahead na." Aga stood up ang gave Dawn and Vice a hug.

"Ayaw mo magjoin sa overnight namin?" Vice teased him.

"Maaga pa shooting ko bukas."

"Aga, si Rona ha." said Lea.

"Oo. Akong bahala sa PA mo i-door to door ko yan."

"You better be. She's more like a sister to me."

Aga walked over to Lea on the bed and gave her a hug and dropped a kiss on top of her head.

"Gusto mo hatid ko pa hanggang kwarto eh." he snickered and Lea pinched his nose for the second time today.

--

"Ang cute nito no, lakas maka-teenager." said Vice giggling.

Dawn and Vice settled themselves on the inflated airbed they brought beside Lea's bed.

"So... Nasabi mo na sa kanya yung totoo?" Dawn asked Lea.

"Sana... Kaya lang-"

"Hindi niya nasabi dahil nadapa yung bibig niya sa bibig ni Aga..." Vice concluded.

Dawn's eyes went big from what she just heard.

"It was him who kissed me okay?" Lea interjected.

"Yung tataa? Memetey?" Vice inquisitively asked.

"W- uhhh! Maybe?! I don't know Vice. It happened so fast. Dumating ka na kasi."

"And I am only hearing this now because...?!" Dawn said.

"Dawn naman. You can't expect me to make kwento in front of the guy. Besides, stop embarassing Aga nga. Minsan wala rin kayong filter, lalo ka na Vice."

Vice points a finger at himself, trying to be innocent on Lea's accusation.

"Ano ka ba Lea, parang ibang tao naman si Aga. Hindi yun pikon tulad mo. Tsaka alam ng buong mundo na may HD siya sayo. Hindi na bago yan."

"HD?"

"Hidden Desire! Kaloka. Ang slow ata natin today Lei."

"Ang alam kong HD, High Definition, so I was confused. Sorry naman."

"Teka maiba ako, kanina pa talaga ako nahihiwagaan, anong meron sa pag-pisil sa ilong ni Aga?" Vice asked.

"Oh yeah. You did it too during your concert, remember?" said Dawn.

Anong secret code yun ha Lea? paki-share eeee!" Vice asked.

"Kaya nga secret eh." Lea deadpanned.

Vice cheeky grin disappeared.

"Ano Lei mamili ka, sasabihin mo or magstay ka pa ng isang linggo dito sa hospital?" Vice threatens.

Lea smiled and shook her head.

"Stop." Lea replied.

"Eh pilayan kaya kita diyan? Gusto mo?"

"No, no, wait. I mean, it means STOP. The nose pinching thing, like how Agnes does it to Jerry. Its STOP. As in red light stop."

"Di ko gets why need?" Dawn inquired.

"Its something me and Aga agreed on since we will be doing something for the fans. He told me I can signal him in case it is too much for me. Well it was my idea, I chose that instead." Lea explained.

"Ohhhh.. para sa mata ng fans naglalambingan pa rin kayo kahit na may conflict na pala. Mahusay. Oh-ehhh ano naman ang safe word nyo?" Vice asked.

Lea threw a tissue box at Vice as he cracks up.

"Vice kanina ka pa ha! Hindi pa ko tapos sayo sa lubricant comment mo kay Aga." Lea said scornfully.

"Lubricant?" Dawn was appalled. "Umabot kayo sa ganun?! Sa ospital pa talaga ha, Lei?!"

"Oh my God!" Lea was stunned.

She can't believe Dawn totally bought that dirty joke.
