It's Kim's birthday party. All of her friends were invited. Even Mika and Alyssa—the two had an unpleasant past with each other but they just couldn't decline Kim's invitation.
All night long they were drinking and talking like they didn't saw each other the few weeks before.
"Guys, remember when Alyssa confessed her feelings to Mika? Naglasing siya noon di'ba?" Kim blurted out. She's tipsy.
"Kim." Alyssa said with a warning.
"Oops, sorry." Kim just made a peace sign.
On the other hand, Mika just took another drink from her beer cup without looking at Alyssa or anyone.
Yes. Alyssa was in love with Mika and that was the reason why their friendship was ruined. That was just half a year ago.

"Aly, pwede bang ikaw na lang maghatid kay Mika? Wala na kasi akong pwede mapaki-usapan eh. Hindi niya kasi dala ang kotse niya." Cyd just had to ask.
"Okay, ikaw na bahala dyan kay Kimtot ha." Alyssa said.
Mika was clearly drunk with her head on the table. Alyssa thought she couldn't even walk properly by herself.
"Mika, let's go. Ihahatid na kita."
"No, I can manage." Mika answered sluggishly.
She tried to stand up and she almost tripped but luckily Alyssa was just behind her grabbing her arms before she plants her face on the floor.
"No, you can't." Alyssa said.
Mika couldn't argue because Alyssa was already carrying her to the latter's car. Alyssa was still capable of driving, thanks to high alcohol tolerance.
"Mika, where's your—"
She was supposed to ask Mika where her new condo is located but how could she, when Mika was sleeping on the passenger's seat.
"I'll take you with me."
Alyssa caressed Mika's face with her right hand as she was looking intently at the slumbering maiden.
"Sleep well, babe." she whispered.
Mika stirred and it made her pull away her hand. Alyssa immediately started her car engine and drove away.

Alyssa brought Mika at her condo. She didn't bother waking up Mika to ask her address. She knew Mika was a deep sleeper.
She laid down Mika on her bed. Now, she's having a problem.
I have to change Mika's clothes. Shit.
She wished she had thought things through before bringing Mika to her condo. Now, she's in trouble.
"Mika, you need to change clothes. Wake up, please." she tried to wake her up.
"Ikaw na." Mika answered sleepily.
She has no choice. No malice, she thought. So she took off Mika's shirt and immediately changed it.
Phew. That went well.
Next, taking off Mika's pants.
Fuck.
Alyssa took them off as carefully as possible, and she was so damn sure beads of sweat are forming on her forehead even if the air-condition was on.
What the hell did I get myself into?
After she took off Mika's pants, she covered her eyes with her left hand as she walked to the closet to get Mika a boxer short to wear.
"Ouch!" she hissed. She just stumbled upon her basket full of used clothes and she landed on her face.
