"Ayanna, there you are. Tapos ka na pala magluto. You didn't even call us. May ginawa ka bang importante?" Boses agad ni ate Aliana ang sumalubong sa akin sa hapag kainan. I helped her put on rice on the plates.
"Sorry, Ate. May nireplyan lang akong nagiinquire sa akin." I lied. Tumango naman siya at nagpatuloy sa ginagawa.
Damn! I hate lying to my sister. Ayoko naman magtago ng secrets sa kanya. Mapagkakatiwalaan siya and She'd never tell anyone about my secrets. She's like a bestfriend to me.
While eating nagkwentuhan naman kaming magkakapatid.
"Ate Aliana, will you design my gown for my birthday party?" Aria asked while munching her food.
"Ofcourse, Aria. Anything for you. What color do you want your gown to be?"
"Pink! I want to be Princess Aurora!" She said with enthusiasm.
Ate Aliana smiled and nodded. I knew that was a fake smile. I know my sister very well and alam ko kung nasasaktan ba sila or okay lang.
Once we're done with breakfast, ate Aliana volunteered to wash the dishes. Wala naman na akong palag doon sa gusto niya. Agad akong dumiretso sa kwarto ko para puntahan si Gab at nilock ang pinto.
Nadatnan kong si Gab nakahiga pa rin sa kama — still naked, habang nagtetext sa kanyang cellphone. He diverted his eyes on me at tsaka lang siya tumigil.

He smiled and patted the space beside him. Sumunod ako at humiga sa tabi niya. His arms automatically encircled around me as he pulled me closer to him.
"Sorry if natagalan ako. Napakwento kasi sila Ate eh."
He brushed my hair using his fingers and he kissed my forehead. "It's alright. I could wait all day." He said.
"What do you want to do?" I asked. Baka kasi mayamot siya dito. I can't even escort him outside because my sisters are here!
"Cuddle with you sounds nice." He whispered as he hugged me tightly. Oh Lord, sana lagi po ganito ang umaga ko.
Lying beside Gabriel feels like heaven. All I can think about is my future with him in it. Ngunt alam ko naman sa sarili ko na hindi yun pwede. My brother would never let his friends get to me except Gab because he trusts him so much. If he finds out about us, he'll go furious. May bro code sila na 'never date anyone's sister' kapag nasira yon ay masisira rin ang pagkakaibigan nila.
Hindi ko alam kung anong relasyon 'tong pinasok naming dalawa, all I know is I'm happy being with him at iyon ang mahalaga.
