"What now?"

Hindi kinikibuan ni Sandra si Trenton habang nagle-late night grocery sila sa Walmart. She continued snubbing him from the house until they reached the grocery store.

"Okay, ano na naman ang ginawa ko ngayon?"

"Kumuha ka ng isang kilong blueberry sa lane 10." She nonchalantly ordered.

"Wait, is this about your Alcide friend?" He playfully remarked, "You know, I do admire his tactful-"

"You disgraced him."

"D-Disgraced?" He surprisingly answered, "I don't know what you're talking about Sweep."

"Cut the ditches Trent. I know you so well to be naive with your antics.", turning the cart to the next lane. "Why do you have to be so rude with him?"

"W-What?" Trying to hide his laughter over the matter, "Come on Sweep, I was just being friendly."

"Friendly na walang preno yung bibig mo sa kakakilatis sa kanya kanina."

"Hay nako." Catching up with her and encircling his arms around her neck. "Masyado bang bothered ang kaibigan mo that he accidentally wet his pants?"

She removed his arms around her, sloughing it off her shoulders. "Not funny."

"Bakit ka ba napipikon? You know I was just kidding-"

"Could you please not do that again? You just embarrassed me for your info."

"By means of what, being straightforward? God Sweep, that's just how I talk. You know that."

"Then it's not always the same with other people. Take that into consideration before you spit out anything."

"Let it go, sweep. I don't wanna start a fight right now." He uttered, exhaling deeply. "And besides, let's not ruin our date night."

"Because you want something that's why."

"Huh?" Feigning surprise.

"Do you really want me to kick you in the gut?" Arching her brow.

"Ha-ha-ha. Pikon."

"You forgot something."

"Ano na naman Sweep, sensitivity?"

"Hindi. Yung isang kilong blueberry na kanina ko pa sinasabi sayo." Answering it with such pride.

"Right." Winking at her and proceeding to lane 10 to get some of those little berries. "I'll see you at the counter honey."

Sarap sapakin talaga.

Sleepover at Chloe's flat.

"It's always a tradition for the Juniors to take care of the Winter party, you know." Pagpapaalala ni Hallie sa mga kaibigan. "So what do you think of the theme?"

Every December ay nag-oorganize ang mga Third year students ng isang event for the Seniors in celebration of their last year in College. The lower levels ay tumutulong rin when it comes to the props and other amenities needed for they know, they'll experience this when they become Seniors themselves. They also want it to be worth remembering and treasuring.

"Winter wonderland is perfect." Pagsang-ayon naman ni Chloe.

"A fuckfest indeed!" Wesley mused.

Hallie made a disguted look. "For God's sake Wes!"

"I believe you've got a month to prepare for the party and we've got loads of projects and exams running in our lists, but if we help each other for the preparation, I think you're going to make it. I'll call out some friends from the batch to help you guys out." Chloe offered.

"Thanks Chloe, that's a huge relief." Tugon ni Hallie. "I was thinking of the theme itself, kaso hindi ko naman alam kung magugustuhan ng mga seniors ang ipe-prepare namin.

"My batch will enjoy what's in store, don't get pressured." She smiled.

"How's your date night Onetta?" Serenity asked Sandra.

"Actually, it's a business date. We met a client from his firm." Sagot naman nito.

"Pakikamot naman ng likod ko Wes, di ko maabot." Pakiusap ni Serenity habang tinatapat ang kanyang likod sa binata. She removed her shirt and bra to make her skin allergy 'breathe.'

"Herpes na yan." Her gay friend chuckled.

"Just scratch my back bitchface."

"Hey loony, i just realized you got the smallest tits among us." Pangangasar ni Wesley.

"Can you just shut up and do the deed?M" She snapped. "That's it?? Nothing more?" Turning towards Sandra.

"Well, there is. Trenton asked me to tell you guys that we'll be staying in his client's lake house on my birthday."

"Ang sweet naman niya!" Chloe and Hallie chorused.

"Kasama kami??!! Seriously??!!" Tanong ni Serenity na walang tigil pa rin sa pagkakamot ng kanyang likod.

"Yes, it's a weekend celebration. Tayo na ang bahala sa lahat." She answered.

"Hindi ba kami manggugulo sa inyo ni Trenton?" Tanong ni Hallie.

"Actually, he'll be away that time so solo natin ang lugar."

"He's traveling a lot, don't you get suspicious at all? I mean, we can't deny that women drool over your husband including Wes."

Wesley gestured a dirty finger on Chloe and she chuckled.

"Does it bother you? He's a man and you know, they're weak when left astray in the wild roses in the garden." Pag-uusisa ni Chloe.

"Bahala siya."

"Sounds like you don't care at all huh??" Serenity arching a brow.

Oh yes, asawa nga pala kami.

"I mean, I trust him! I do get suspicious, but I don't put it all in my head. For some reasons, I am confident that he's all mine."

HE'S ALL MINE??!!! Seriously.

"And he won't be around in your birthday." Chloe added.

"Hindi lang siya ang pinakasalan ko, pati trabaho niya. I have to love everything about him because he's my husband. That's it." She smiled.

"Look at you, you're all grown up woman. That confidence is fierce." Hallie sighed.

"Creeps me out." Wesley eerily commented.

Yeah, me too.
