They stayed at the safehouse together with the guys. And since ilan sila at iilan lang naman ang available na kwarto, she suggested to stay with Chase in one room.

"Me and Mason can stay with him tapos kayo na lang ni Dreena sa isang kwarto." Suhestyon ni Aiden na ikina-iling niya.

"You and Mason sa isang room. Si Dreena sa isang kwarto at kami ni Chase sa kabila. Kaaalis lang naman ni Cole kanina para ihatid ang anak ni Dreena pabalik ng London so that's one more vacant room na pwede niyong gamitin." Paliwanag niya.

Mason smirked. "Mga galawan mo Cece ah. Sabi ko naman sayo kapag narito ka na sa Pilipinas, magpakadalagang pilipina ka na eh. A girl and a man can't stay in one room."

"Who says it's not possible?!" Angil niya.

"Me. Since may pagnanasa ka kay Chase, ako na mismo ang nagsasabi. Mamaya gapangin mo pa iyong tao, no."

"Shut up, Mason!" She hissed.

Mason just laughed.

"Kung sabagay, you didn't grew up here naman pala 'no? Kaya there's no point."

She rolled her eyes at him.

"Stop spouting nonesense at pahiraman mo na lang si Chase ng damit."

"Oo nga pala, sa Palawan nga pala napunta ang mga gamit niya."

"We already arranged for his things to be shipped back to Manila. Bukas na bukas sasamahan ko siyang mag-shopping sa mall para may magamit siya habang nandito kami."

"Wow.. wife material lang ang peg..."

"Do you really want me to punch you, you idiot?"

Muli, tumawa lang si Mason sa sagot niya.

Kinagabihan, doon niya nakilala si Dreena ng pormal. Pagdating nito kahapon ng safehouse ay hindi niya namalayang nakatulog pala siya kaya hindi siya nakapagpakilala dito.

Nagpasya siyang magpahangin muna sa labas. Balak sana niyang gawin iyon sa garden pero napatigil siya ng makita sa balkonahe si Dreena. She was staring at space. She looked lost actually.

With curiosity, she decided to approach her.

"Air's fresh isn't it?"

She could tell she was startled by her sudden greeting. Hindi ito agad sumagot. Napansin din niyang pinagmamasdan siya nito. Like she's assessing her or something.

Cece cleared her throat. "We haven't talked much since you arrived." She pointed out.

Bahagya itong ngumiti.

"You were rather fond of your friend Chase, all your attention was on him." Dreena said which Cece returned with a broad grin.

"Ah.. Chase.. he was such a fine man, isn't he?" She stated. Pride on her voice.

"He is.."

"Yeah. Good thing he's not as stupid as Lacon or else, I will kick his ass he wouldn't be able to sit for an entire month!"

Napamulagat ito sa sinabi niya.

"Oh, don't look so shocked darling. Let's face it. Lacon is a stupid jerk. That is what he get for being a certified manwhore instead of sticking to a girl and have a serious relationship with her. He's an insensitive jackass who doesn't understand women who are for keeps." Mahabang litanya niya.

Pasimple niyang tinitigan ito. Hinihintay kung magagalit ba ito o magwa-walk out sa sinabi niya.

Well, isn't that the same thing Cece?
