Nikola's POV

Calling Josh.........

Why isn't he's not answering? Sigurado akong off na niya. He said he will be home by six. Pero asan na siya?

You received one text message.

FROM ANYAAAAABEBE:

Beshieee.... I'll be going there because wala akong trabaho bukas and day off ko na rin I know your sched so watch out and wait for me.

p.s. Am going to bring something. Loveyou beshieee.

Argghhh. Akala ko si Josh na, nakailang miss call na ako sakanya.

To Anyaaaaabebe:

SIGE BESHHH, PLEASE BRING FOODS NA RIN. YOU KNOW MY FAV. LOVE YOU TOO.

Matapos kong replayan si Anya ay agad akong naghanda sa pagdating niya. Not minding Josh, alam kong hindi nanaman siya sisipot kapag wala siya sa takdang oras na ibinilin niya.

Josh is too secretive about his life, hindi talaga siya nagkwekwento ako lang ata ang dada ng dada when we are together. Pagtatanungin ko siya he will barely smile and left you hanging without answers.

Lumusong na agad ako sa bath tub at pinikit ang aking mga mata.

I still remnisce on how we met each other. Nasa bar ako noon kasama mga workmates ko at dahil friday we can go anywhere dahil walang trabaho kinabukasan.

I was dancing like a wild and mad woman with crazy dance moves until a man came. With a well-built body, he slowly touches my hips and follow the same rhythm as mine. I expected him to be aggressive, yet he was silent so we danced gracefully together with the party music.

Partying is my life I can't just stay at home and sleep without it. I party all night long, not expecting the stranger I was with the other nights. He was still with his mature and intimidating aura while walking as if it tells you to back off or you'll be a dead meat if mess with him.

Hindi naman ako bato para hindi maramdaman ang ipinahihiwatig niya. Marupok ako, oo I fell for him. He was as sweet as a sugarcoated chocolate. Lagi niya akong sinusundo sa work, he also texts me often, we eat on a fancy yet classy resto, buy clothes I like and enjoy each others company.

We are living on the same roof. Yes, he lives with me sa condo ko. If your asking if V pa ba ko? Well, hindi na we do it a lot of times already.

As I was saying, Josh is secretive the only thing I know about him is his name. I never googled or search for his family background. Alam kong sa tamang panahon maipapakilala na niya ako sa pamilya niya at hindi na rin siya magsesekreto. He will tell me about his problems and solve it together.

Josh' full name is Joshua Avancena. Sa nakikita at naoobserve ko for the past years Josh is a silent deadly man. Hindi rin mahaba yung pasensya niya but when it comes to me the soft shell softens.

Napabalik ako sa realidad matapos kong marinig ang walang sawang pagdodoorbell sa unit ko. Dali-dali akong tumayo at tinakipan ng twalya ang aking katawan upang pagbuksan ang tao sa likod ng napakaingay kong doorbell.

Unti-unti kong binuksan ang pinto at napakunot ang aking kilay dahil sa babaeng nakatayo sa labas ng unit ko. Kasabay ng pagtanong ko sakanya.

Who are you?
