"You're always have ways to keep me into you." Ito ang mga salitang nagpabilis ng tibok ng puso ni Lorie. Bukod sa sitwasyon niya ngayon kung saan nasa isang madilim na sulok sila at napakalapit ng mukha nito sa kanya. Vodka, yan ang naaamoy ni Lorie sa hininga ni Torres na may halong mint na syang nagpabango nito.

"T-Torres." she murmured.

"Don't impress yourself, Lorie. Because I might..." Lorie bite her lips, Isang nagfufrustrate na Torres ang nasa harapan niya ngayon and she only thinks one reason- siya. Pero bakit?

Mula sa pag-iisip ay nagulat nalang siya ng bigla siyang halikan ni Torres, isang mabilis na halik sa labi.

"The next time I caught you biting your lips, I might bite it for you." then Torres leaved him dumbfounded.

Napahawak nalang si Lorie sa labi niya matapos siyang iwan ni Torres, ramdam na ramdam niya ang jungle sa kanyang tiyan kasabay nito ang mabilis na pagtibok at nagwawala niyang puso. How she supposed to handle his feeling? Only Torres can do this to her. And her first kiss... first memorable kiss from Torres.

Nasa loob ng library si Lorie at kanina pa naka tingin sa laptop niya si Lorie, she can't absorb anything. Ni hindi rin niya maumpisahan ang SOP ng thesis nila. Ugh! Torres' kiss. Buong weekend siya di pinatulog nito and until now ay di pa rin maalis sa isipan niya ang bawat detalye ng gabing iyon.

Hindi na niya napigilang mapasabunot sa sarili. She needs no distraction, but Torres, indeed, is a distraction.

Napaangat siya ng tingin ng marinig ang mahinang pagtawa ng nasa harapan niya, si Kael. Kanina pa siya nito tinitignan, dreamily looking at her while biting his pen. So priceless! But Kael can't help it, Lorie is a beauty, she's naturally beautiful. Paano pa kaya kung naayusan ito?

"Tawa ka dyan? Tapos na ba yung Significance na pinagagawa ko sayo?"

Kael smirk at mayabang na itinulak ang laptop niya palapit kay Lorie. " I even did the Research design, Ma'am."

Lorie sighed. Buti naman at nagawa na rin ito ng kapartner niya, dahil sa suwisyo niya ngayon, sigurado siya di niya matatapos ang thesis nila. Drn first part of thesis, 3 weeks na nilang ginagawa ito. How she wished she's as brainy as Audrey and Charly.

"Ya know what, Lorie babes, I think you need some cup of tea. Laki na ng eye-bags mo oh! Natutulog ka pa ba?" Kael gently caress Lorie's face. She's soft, inside and out. Fragile, na kahit siya ay ayaw niyang madampian ng ano man sakit.

He immediately remove her hand from her face. He felt electricity and he knows it's right.

"Malaki na ba?" She pouted which he find it cute.

"Ehem... akin na nga yang laptop at ako na rin gagawa ng SOP para makapag-tea house na tayo."

While Kael is typing, Lorie take a nap. Buti nalang at nasa may pinakadulong pwesto sila ni Lorie so she can't be seen by the librarian. But after a while, Lorie's awake and stare at the abandoned room where she saw Torres and Shane kissing. Habang nakadukmo, hindi maiwasang kumirot ang puso ni Lorie habang nakatingin sa kwartong iyon, at the same time she felt conscientious. 'How can Torres and Shame do dirty things behind Kael's back?'

On the other side, Kael stop typing and stares at Lorie na nakadukmo at inaakalang niya natutulog pa rin. He stares at her like he is looking at her bride while walking in the aisle. Bride... Shane will be his bride as soon as they finished their degree. He was born to be his groom and its an unbreakable rule.

"If I met you first you, Lorie. I'm willing to break the rule." he uttered.
