"Eyh.. we-we-wait." Fille stopped her Dennise from speaking. "You're telling me that Alyssa is finally back. Are you sure of what you're telling me now?"

"Uhmmm... yes and no?" Dennise answered.

"But you said you were a bit drunk. And........... something intimate happened between you two?!" Fille could not keep the shock anymore.

"Ugh." Dennise stood up from the couch and went to her table to get something. She then went back into the couch and showed it to Fille. "This is my evidence Fille. I'm sure of it. It was her."

Fille took the black nike cap that Dennise was showing to her, still shocked.

"Seriously Dennise?! Goodness. Pano kung hindi pala yon si Alyssa? Pano kung isang stranger lang yon na napadpad sa rental house ninyo kagabi? God Dennise, how can you be so sure that that was Alyssa? You clearly told me that you didn't get a clear sight of her face! Or worst case scenario, lalaki pala yon na masamang tao who took advantage of your drunkness! You were drunk and she or he was wearing this cap which was covering her or his face! You're the one who's giving me a heart attack Dennise!" Fille said without pausing, worry was all over her face.

Right when Fille stormed inside Den's office, she asked about what happened and the latter told her about what really happened the previous night. According to Dennise, this is what happened...

(Flash back here)

Dennise heard a loud knock on the front door, a bit drunk upon the wine she drank while waiting for her friend, Fille. She dragged herself into the foyer of the house while bringing the candle in her right hand as a torch.

DENNISE'S POV

My head is a bit unstable right now, damn. And by unstable, I mean I'm a bit drunk. The heavy rain is still pouring down and I think Fille just arrived so here I am dragging myself to open the door for my late dear friend.

I held the door knob and twisted it to open the door. As I swung it open, my sight fell into the figure in front of me.

"Oh gosh Fille basang-basa k-," I stopped. My brows creased as I focused my sight.

Wait. Hindi 'to si Fille. I thought.

For a moment, time stopped ticking and my world stopped as well.

It's like the alcohol in my body just evaporated away but the presence of this person right in front of me is making me high and drunk at the same time.

Why is my heart beating so fast?

I swallowed.

In front of me is a tall figure, clearly soaked from the heavy rain outside. It's long wet hair, dangling down its shoulders, which gave me the idea that this figure in front of me is a woman. She's wearing a plain black cap, covering half of her face for her head is a bit bowed.

Those feelings that I felt before, that I am longing for a long time now, awakened inside me. And it hit me, hard.

It feels like a de ja vu. Is she back? Is this tall soaked figure, Alyssa? This feeling that I am felling right now is just like the feeling when I first met Alyssa. But it's something deeper now and vast...
