Warning

"Hindi nga ako kako lasing! Haha! Ops, ang ganda mo talaga ngayon friend! This is the best party I eveeer had!" Lasing na aniya ni Yelien.

She's drunk by a glass of champagne!

"Tapos nakakakilig pa kayo ni Flame! Ang ganda nang song niyo! See you remember me standing in a nice dress starring in the sunset babe~ "

Maingat siyang inihiga ni Liam sa kaniyang kama habang si Flame naman ay nakasandal lamang sa pintuan. Lumapit ako sa kinaroroonan niya habang ang dalawang kamay ay nasa aking likuran. Pilit ko mang pinapakita sa kanila na ayos lamang ang lahat ay hindi pa rin nawawala sa isipan ko ang masakit na sinapit nila Grayeh at Enso. Mayroong parte sa pagkatao ko na may kasalanan din ako at may dahilan din ang pagkawala nila. At ang huling sinabi ni Black Lord... hindi iyon nawawala sa aking isipan.

Her daughter, he says.

"Hey, stop thinking about it." Kalmado ang boses nito nang magkalapit kami. Kinuha niya ang dalawang kamay ko mula sa likod at hinawakan iyon.

"Hindi naman siguro nila malalaman ang nangyari hindi ba? That they are..."Napayuko ako hindi kayang sabihin ang mga dapat na salita.

"Look at me, dearest. Hmm? Look at me..." His gentle voice... calm my thoughts somehow. "It is not your fault. Do not put blame in yourself, it is not healthy. Sometimes we need to let go some people around us because it was there choices. The path they wanted to take, we never know the flow of time and life. Come here."

He open his arms widely for a hug, "I'm always here for you."

I hugged him back. "I know and I'm always grateful for that." Tumingala ako sa kaniya, sa wakas ay nasilayan ko ang kaniyang maamong mukha, matangos na ilong, mapupulang labi at itim na itim na kulay na mga mata.

But above all, his hair is my favorite.

"I will always like that." I pouted my lips to point his red hair.

"Then how about this?" He planted a smack kiss in my lips! My heart almost jump out from my body because of shock, loud beatings of fluttery and emotions.

"Flame!" Hinampas ko ang kaniyang dibdib. "Nandito si Liam..." Sabi ko.

"Liam is not here anymore... so shall I continue?"

In middle of hesitation, I give in. I love how his soft lips touches mine. It was addicting, a total drug I could use for the rest of my life. Forget the rules, forget the schools, forget everything and fuck them all.

"We should not do this here..." He whispers softly in my ears. It send shivers in my skin, his voice... damn.

"Where, then?"

"In the garden, everyone is sleeping right now, exhausted in ball shits..." He glances at me then smile.

He's such a fox! A slay one.

"Your thoughts can slay too... damn, woman. You are making me crazy right now."

I wrapped my hands around his neck and claim a kiss, it was short but I can feel the softness of it. I can feel his hand in my waist slightly making some movements that can surely send some heat all over my body. I let go from the kiss...

"What... dear, it was---"

"Let's do it in the garden..." I breath. 

He smile sweetly, "Oh, yes."

Ilang sandali pa ay binuhat niya ako, natawa ako dahil doon. Habang naglalakad sa tahimik na hallway ay tanging sa kaniya lamang ako nakatingin. Doon ko pa lamang napagtanto na gusto ko siya at parehas kami nang nararamdaman. What he loses will be my loss too, because we tied as one before we're born. This red haired man made me believe in love... that my parents taught me to do.
