DULCIS

Things went good between me and Jean Tovin. Three months is really a long time. It patched destruction towards friendship. I, Darke, Jean Tovin, Huon, Umber, Goethe and Nikolina were good. Darke may not be here, but were cool. I regained our relationship again. Unluckily, he kept on telling me that I should reveal JT's identity to him and to his parents. And unluckily, he didn't come home like what he said. Three months ago, after the beach hangout, we headed to Harshbarger's Residence. Jean Tovin... introduced me to his mother. Jean Tovin's mother was likely uneasy that time. She's kinda worried and perplexed. But now, we are cool.

There is a week when I was just reading and reading. Umber influenced in reading stuffs such as novels she have on her shelves. Naging tambayan ko ang bahay nila. She had let me read Fifty Shades trilogy. She is simply exposing me to the world. She taught me how to lie to Jean Tovin, too. She had told me I shouldn't tell him I am reading that trilogy book. Back when I was reading the Darker, I'm kinikilig. Yes, they have sex but I look forward to the time of their soon-to-be-relationship. It was shocking that Mr. Grey has the weak side. I am thankful with their commitment. He wants to tie the knot between him and Anastasia. How lucky Anatasia is. We watched it too and that was the bukingan part. Jean Tovin saw us watching it. That night and the next day, he has this spine-chilling fury towards us.

Huon, on the other hand, was my four-hour-per-day tutor. He taught me College Algebra, Plane Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry, Integral Calculus, and Differential Calculus. He's so sure that I can manage other subjects so he will just teach me Maths. The Pieter told me before I can go to a university if I wanted to. I'll choose Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering that's why Huon and I are preparing. Kasisimula pa lang naman namin noong isang araw. Hoping I will cope up that easy. Frankly, my brain stimulates that easy when I see numbers.

"Kapag ikaw nag-two piece sa gabing ito, I'm gonna scold you til your heart bursts painfully on your chest."

I frowned. "Okay."

Somehow, I love him more and more each day. He's a mad hatter but I know he'll be sweeter than anybody if he cajoles me. Those are what I really want-- sweet, territorial, and doting boyfriend of course.

"Sasama ba sina Umber?"

"Alam mo, simula nang naging okay tayo kina Huon at Umber eh lagi mo nang hinahanap hanap sa akin si Umber ah? Nagseselos naman ako rito, Naked Baby," he said while enveloping me in his arms.

I laughed hard. Ang ganda ng pagkakatanong ko pero bakit ganito na ang sagot niya?

"Hello, Dulcis baby!"

"Speaking. Here comes the answer to your question, baby," he whispered on my ear.

Kumalas sa akin si Jean Tovin. Umber hugged me tightly like the usual. She never fails to amaze me with this kind of welcoming hug. She's really into me and I like that.

"Sorry we're late. Pina-prepare ko pa kasi kay Manang Les iyong pancit at salad." She explained. Nilayo niya ako sa dalawang lalaki and whispered me something, "magtwo-two piece ka ha? Para may kasama ako. For sure na papagalitan ako ni Huon kung magbibikini ako. Excuse me, maganda yata katawan ko!"

I chuckled. Of course Umber is sizzling hot!

"Dapat pati ikaw para malaglag ang panga ng boyfriend mo," she teased.

"Paano yan? Naunahan na niya ako? He told me I won't wear those tiny clothes."

"Huwag ka ngang maniwala doon. Tss... Wait nga... Kailan pala uuwi si Darke?"

At first, I'm so shocked when she asked me this. Hindi ko nga alam kung kilala niya talaga si Darke. Lagi ko namang nakakalimutan na itanong kay Jean Tovin at baka common friend nila si Darke.
