D I A N A

To say na hindi siya nahirapang bumalik sa pagtulog is an understatement. Paano mangyayari 'yun kung ang utak niya, puno ng images ng pwet ni Franki? Juicecolored. Ang sarap bigyan ng 'Best in Timing Award' tong pantog niya eh, pahamak talaga.

Ba't ka ba kasi naked, Franki? May towel naman diyan ah?

It's 3:30am, bakit kaya gising pa siya?

Just go back to sleep and pee later, Diana.

Shit, naiihi na talaga siya. Binuksan niya ng konti ang mga mata niya to check kung ano na ang ginagawa ni Franki but she isn't on her line of vision. Thank goodness.

She doesn't know if she can handle it if makita niyang topless si Franki. My gosh. Di niya ma-imagine.

Bakit ba nangyayari sa kanya 'to? Dahil ba ito sa nangyari kanina sa briefing, dahil she agreed to act straight? Ito ba ay sign na galing sa kalangitan, nire-remind ba siya ng universe na bakla siya? Tutol ba si Hayley Kiyoko sa pinasukan niya? Disappointed ba si Commander Lexa sa mga pinanggagagawa niya?

Joke, ang corny na.

Nagulat siya ng konti nang biglang gumalaw yung bed, tumabi lang pala si Franki. Nakapikit pa rin ang mga mata niya when she felt Franki's cold butt-cheeks on her right leg. Sobrang nang-init ang mukha niya now that she finally realized na naka-underwear lang ang katabi niya.

Kumalma ka, Diana, please lang.

Sana hindi marinig o maramdaman ni Franki ang lakas ng tibok ng puso niya. Mahihimatay siya for sure if mangyari 'yon. She stayed still for a few more seconds before turning her head to face Franki, to check if natutulog na siya, pero nakatalikod siya.

Is it safe now para pumunta sa banyo? Maybe. And so she did. Sa totoo lang, parang daig pa niya si Joel na nasa larong Last of Us sa stealth skills niya.

Nang pabalik na siya sa kama, nakita niya ang both right arm and leg ni Franki na naka-stretch on her side of the bed. She gently moved them to Franki's side para makahiga siya.

When she got settled, napatigil siya sa paghinga when her roommate moved closer to her side and put an arm around her stomach. Napatingin siya kay Franki, their faces merely inches from each other. Diana's gaze gravitated towards the full lips that's touching her shoulders.

The first and last time na may nangyaring ganito was on the night before the first eviction, but she was able to ignore it...because she can. Because she still had the strength to do so.

Ngayon, hindi na niya alam kung anong gagawin niya. The right thing to do is to move away from Franki but the stronger her feelings get, the harder it is to avoid her or keep her eyes off of her. Kahit ngayon, she's fighting the urge to caress her rosy cheeks.

You're taken, she reminds herself.

You're taken, you're taken, you're taken, you're...

"Good morning, Fwangkii..." she says, her voice low.

Umupo siya sa kama katabi ang natutulog pa niyang roommate. Franki groans, but greets back ardently, her voice hoarse, "Magandang umaga, Diana.."

Cute. Diana smiles, "Wakey wakey, little Franki."

"Five more minutes..." Franki responds in a tiny voice.

"You already said that 30mins ago, your time's up," Diana tells her as she gently runs her hand up and down her roommate's right arm. "Go shower na,"
