Aryn's POV

Alam mo yung pakiramdam na nangingitim yung gilid ng mga mata mo, tapos malaki yung eye bags.

Nagmumukha akong Zombie ngayon habang kumakain dito sa may Lobby ng hotel.

Paano ba naman kasi ako makakatulog pagkatapos nun?

"Good morning." Para akong binuhusan ng sobrang lamig na tubig nang madinig ko ang boses na iyon. Yung boses na parang laging bume-bedroom voice.

Para akong na stiff neck at hindi makalingon sa kanya.

"You okay?" Saka siya naupo sa harap ko at sinabayan niya pa iyon ng killer smile niya.

Loko to! Ngiti ngiti ka jan. Hindi lang malambot labi mo'y matagal ko nang kiniskis sa pader.

"What happened to you? You looked so stress? Kinulang ka ba sa tulog?" Gusto ko siyang hampasin pero mas gusto ko siya halikan.. huwahhh!! Aryn naman eh!

"Ah... w--ala... N--ag...." shocks nauutal ako. Ituwid mo nga dila mo Aryn.!

"You don't look fine. Are you sick?" Halla! Baka makahalata siya.

"Hindi.. Ano.. Nag COC kasi ako kagabi.. Kaloko kasi nung kalaban ko! Nakakaloka! Hating gabi na nang a-attack pa!" Ayan with action na ginawa ko para naman mukhang makatotohanan.

"Why are you so addict with COC?" Saka siya sumubo ng french toast.

"You are so addict coz you kissed me." Pabulong kong sabi.

"What? Who kissed who?" Shocks! Narinig niya.

"Ha? M--ay sinabi ba akong kiss? Wala k--aya?" Ayan at todo deny nanaman ako. Nakakaloka.

"Then why are you blushing?" Hayan nanamam siya at ini-interogate ako.

"Ha? H--indi.. A--no.. Sobrang lamig kasi kaya nag ba-blush ako." Napaka sinungaling mo talaga Aryn kahit kailan.

"I see. Let's eat." Whew! Mabuti naman at tumigil na siya katatanong.

Nakakaloka! Hindi ko matagalan to! Mamamatay ako ng maaga pag nagpatuloy pa ito. Aryn! Do something!

Maya-maya'y biglang nag ring yung phone niya.

"Excuse me." Alam mo yung feeling na parang sobrang special nung tumawag dahil kakaiba yung smile niya eh. May pinanghuhugutan eh.

Hindi pa man ako naka tango'y tumayo na siya tsaka naglakad palayo, kaya naman ang matipunong likod na niya lamang ang natatanaw ko sa mga sandaling ito.

Hayyy nako Aryn..
"Ikain mo nalang yan." sabi ko na lamang sa sarili ko.

Elle's POV

"Hmmm." I moaned as he plant small kisses on my neck. Is this his way of waking me up?

"Wake up sleepyhead.." he gave me a peck kiss on my lips.

"Hmm.. Sleepy head huh." Then I raised my eyebrows. Paano ba naman kasi ako makakatulog ng maaga kagabi kung hirit ng hirit tong lalaking to. Nakakaloka!

"Baby.. He's been calling me last night." Oh! Agad kong dinampot yung phone ko sa ibabaw ng side table.

"Shit!" I immidiately dialled his number.

Tatlong ring then he answered the phone.

"Hello babe.." i tried to keep my voice calm kahit na medyo kinakabahan na ako.

"You're not answering my calls last night. Pareho kayo ni Thunder." There's a little doubt in his voice.

"Sorry Babe I'm a bit busy last night." Sh*t! We're both busy last night. Me and Thunder. I said at the back of my head.

"Sana nagtext ka manlang or you return the call." I know he's sad. I can hear it.

"I'm sorry Babe. I'll make it up to you." My conscience is killing me right at this very moment.

"It's ok Babe. Wag mo nalang uulitin okay?" Ohhh! I'm really doomed!

"Yes Babe.. I'll call you later nalang ha. I'll be late for my duty. Love you." Then I ended up the call without him answering.

"Yes Babe.. You'll be late for your duty..... to me.." Thunder seductively run the tip of his fingers to my bare shoulders.

"It hurts like hell Babe.." then he whispered those words to my ears that brings thousand shivers to my spine.

"I'm sorry Babe." I kissed him passionately in his lips.

I love Yrjo but not more than I love Thunder.

Thunder is one of my 'circle of friends' back then.

Thunder is my first love, but unexpected things happened.

My mother was in a great debt with someone and we can't pay it. If we can't pay, then my mother will die. So I worked while studying.
Thunder and I were both studying. Thunder can't help me so he introduced me to Yrjo which came from one of the richest family in US. He used to sell high breed racing cars and its parts.

Thunder told me about their riches so we planned something.

"Make him fall for you Elle. That's the only way."

That was Thunder's exact words.

So I did.
I made him fall for me then I used to pay half of the debt without Yrjo knowing it.

Yes I now I used him, but before you judge me.

Imagine you are in my place and you don't have a choice but to gamble your own happiness just to save your mother's life.

"I hate myself for introducing you to him Babe." Thunder said in crack voice.

"If only I have money back then. Maybe we are happy right now." He hugged me very tight and buried his face in my shoulder.

"If only I worked really hard." He's crying. I can feel his tears rushing.

"Shhhh. Babe. We'll get through this.." i turn around to face him.
Then I cupped his face.

"We'll get through this Okay? Me and you.... Together." Then I hugged him tight.

I love him and I hate seeing him like this. He did everything he can just to protect me.

He's there in the worst day of my life.

With him beside me, I could never ask for more.

He teach me how to be contented.

"I'll find a way Babe.. I promise." He looked at me with his puzzled look.

"I'll make everything right after this Babe." Then I kissed him passionately in his lips.

"I Love you Babe..... I love you My Thunder.."

"I love you More Babe..
Unto the boundaries of forever. I'll always be here for you." Then he claimed me once more.
