It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Bravo! I’ve met one extremely attractive guy pero dahil din dito, nagiging komplikado ang buhay ko.

I succumbed to the comfort the warm water was giving me as it flowed over my naked body. It was as if it could take away all the negativities coiling up inside.

I finished taking a bath 20 minutes more than I usually do. Dumiretso ako sa walk-in closet na katabi lang ng bathroom. Syempre pink motif din ito.

“So what clothes to match up with your bitchy girlfriend I mean ex-girlfriend?” I mumbled as if Miguel was there.

Naturally, I lost the fight, kaya naman kelangan kong magbihis at pupunta daw kami sa condo ni Miguel. Iniwan ko sya dun na maglinis ng kusina. It’s the least thing he could do after messing up my Saturday.

I decided to wear a loose off shoulder long sleeve lavender top and faded blue skinny jeans. Kinuha ko yung red doll shoes ko at isinuot. Naglagay din ako ng konting pulbos at red lipstick. I may not wear make up all the time but I just couldn’t go out without accentuating my lips. Confident na akong maganda kapag ganun. Charr!!

I left the room at diretso sa sala. Nakita kong nakaupo si Miguel kung saan sya nakaupo kagabi, engaged in watching the business news ulit.

Naalala ko tuloy kung paano ako nashock kagabi…

---  FLASH BACK  ---

“What??????” Alex yelled in surprise. Of course she wasn’t going to allow him to stay, he basically was still a stranger. So she tried to drag him out of the apartment.

“No you can’t stay here! You go home!”

He was damn heavy. He wasn’t resisting but his body stayed limp adding more weight for Alex to haul.

“Siguradong nasa condo ko si Kathleen at ayaw ko muna syang makita. I don’t have any other place to go.” Of course Miguel was lying. Marami pa syang puwedeng puntahan.

“I don’t believe you! Go to Andrew’s place! Or your parents’! Just not here!” Alex was still pulling him, parang mangiyak ngiyak na ang dalaga for no matter how much strength she exerted, di man lang nya nailayo si Miguel sa upuan.

“It’s super late already. Ayokong istorbohin yung mga yun. Be reasonable Zea, only a few hours lang naman.” He had a logical point there and sounded sincere kaya naman napatigil sa paghila si Alex.

“It’s not like I have other reasons why I wanted to stay here.” Miguel added, smirking.

Alex huffed. “Gago!” She slapped his right arm. “Diyan ka sa sofa matulog. Good night!” She started to walk towards her room pero hinawakan ni Miguel ang kamay nya.

Her eyes widened. Napatawa si Miguel sa reaction ng dalaga. “I’m not gonna do anything. Relax. Kaya lang Alex… uhm… di kasi ako makakatulog sa sofa and di naman ako kasya dyan di ba.”

Pareho silang napatingin sa sofa. It was in fact very small for him.

“I wonder if you have a spare bedroom around.”

Alex thought for a moment. “Wait here.” At kumaliwa sya para puntahan ang kuwarto ni Lexy. Lumipat na si Lexy sa bahay ni Xas pero every now and then umuuwi pa rin ito dito.
