Kakagising lang nya. He stretched his body across the bed and was momentarily stunned when his hand felt the presence of a skin that wasn't his own. He flicked strands of his hair that blocked his eyes to get a better view and there, barely two feet away from him, was a human figure disguised as a huge lump under the sheets.
Napabalikwas sya at napatingin ulit sa katabi sa kama. The figure stirred a little bit but didn't wake up. He stared at 'it' for a long time. 'It' moved again, this time, a more deliberate one, causing the sheets to fall down to the waist, affording him a good view of the smooth, supple nubile body that he had greedily kissed and caressed through the night, making him remember his own nakedness.
Holy shit.
Agad-agad syang tumayo, hinanap ang damit na nakakalat lang pala sa sahig at dali-daling nagbihis. He looked around the unfamiliar place at sandaling natulala.
Everything that happened was real and yet to him, it felt like a distant dream from eons back. The taste and feel of skin against skin, the momentum, the heat, the pleasure...they were all there, all real. It was a spontaneous greedy collision of lust- the need, the hunger to satisfy his flesh.
But as he stood by the door to leave, he knew right at that moment that he was not saying a gentlemanly goodbye to the unknown flesh that fed him a kind of ecstasy, for he knew that as much as his body had been satiated, his soul was still famished.

Julie stirred on her bed and suddenly got up when she felt the heat of the sun against her skin. Agad-agad syang bumangon at tiningnan ang cellphone.
Nang makita ang oras ay dali-daling nagpunta sa banyo.
She stared at her reflection for a very long time and smiled. It had been a beautiful evening. She still remembers seeing him from across the unfamiliar café.
Baka nga sinusundan mo talaga ako, Magalona.
She blushed at the thought. Feeling nya kasi, iba ang nangyari kagabi. They were both in a place unfamiliar to them pero andun pa rin sila. Pinagtagpo ng pagkakataon.
She smiled once more and then stepped into the shower.
.....
Maganda ang gising mo ano?
Huh?
Tumawa ng mahina si Rocco. At alam nyang napapansin nito ang kakaibang mood nya.
Ok ka lang, Moe? You look dazed.
He shook his head.
This is nothing.
If it bothers you, then it's something. Ganti naman ng kaibigan.
Until now, hindi pa rin sya makapaniwala sa nangyari kagabi. Hindi nya inakalang magagawa nya ang ganung bagay. He's not really 'that' conservative but what happened last night was something new to him.
Roc...
O ano? Sabihin mo na.
He let out a soft sigh.
I...I...had sex with a girl last night. There, he said it. Finally. Nararamdaman nyang puputok sya kung di nya sasabihin ang bagay na yun. Yes. He's secretive but there are things that he felt he just had to let out.
Tumawa ang kaibigan. Malakas.
Oh c'mon, Moe. What are you, a virgin? We both know you aren't. Haha. Big deal. Hahaha. Sambit nito in between laughs sabay high five sa kanya. Bigla naman itong huminto sa pagtawa nang makita ang seryosong mukha nya.
What? May sasabihin ka pa? Tanong nito sa kanya.
He heaved a sigh, this time deeper.
Hindi ko sya kilala, Roc. It was a one-night-stand. My first.
