"sige, salamat ty." sabi ko, tyler nodded at inilagay na sa trunk yung gamit ni xavier.

"be a good boy for daddy okay?" bilin ko kay xavier, he nodded but tumitingin siya sa taas,

"tito javi and I will miss you so much baby." sabi ko, he smiled when he heard javi's name.

"message mama when you get tgere okay, you have imessage baby." bilin ko muli, tumango si xavier at sumakay na, tyler hugged me.

"ingat ty, please drive safely." sabi ko, tyler nodded bago pumasok sa sasakyan at nagdrive paalis.

"good morning iha, you and mara cooked breakfast daw?" bungad sa akin ni tita anna pagpasok ko, tumango ako at ngumiti.

"pasensiya na po, napakelaman ko pa po yung kitchen niyo" sabi ko, biting my lip.

"iha, okay lang yun, mara enjoyed and you make my javier happy, I hope maayos niyo yung nangyari kagabi." tita anna said placing a hand on my arm.

"sana po tita, if javi's willing." sabi ko, tita anna nodded and smiled at me.

"ate, ang sarap ng pancakes mo!" jaime said when I entered the kitchen, tito bert smiled at me.

"mara cooked that, si mara rin dapat icompliment mo!" sabi ko, mara smiled and blushed.

"you helped your ate xavie cook?" tito bert asked mara, mara nodded while I helped jaime pour some chocolate syrup.

"yes, I woke up early po tapos ate xavie was cooking na, so I asked if I could help, then she tought me how to cook pancakes and then next time naman we'll bake" mara said, I laughed as I put pancakes into a plate, a few pieces of bacon and egg.

"dalhin ko lang po kay javi" sabi ko, grabbing a tray and two drinks, orange juice and milk.

Pag akyat ko, nakaupo na si javi sa kama niya, his feet on the floor and his head in his arms.

"avi, kain na." I said in a low voice, para hindi siya magulat, kasi for sure masakit pa ulo niya.

"avi, what happened? Did you cry?" javi asked, I smiled, halatang halata siguro na mugto yung mata ko.

"nothing, just eat avi, kukuha lang ako ng gamot for your headache" sabi ko, javi nodded, pumunta ako sa walk in closet niya papuntabsa cr to go to the medicine cabinet, I tiptoed to reach the medkit, medyo mataas kasi.

Javi hugged me from behind, kissing the back of my neck.

"I'm sorry avi." bulong ni javi, I closed my eyes, hinigpitan niya ang yakap niya sa akin.

"you look beautiful wearing my shirt avi, you're the most beautiful woman I ever laid my eyes on" he whispered, kissing my neck. I tilted my head, humarap ako at hinalikan siya, my hand on his hair.

"grow out your hair javier joaquin, I want it long." I whispered then I kissed his neck,

"yes avi, for you." sagot niya, carrying me and placing me on the sink.

"akin ka lang javier." sabi ko while he was sucking my neck. Javi nodded,

"yours, only yours." he responded as his hands roamed my body, and his lips on mine. "I don't care einica, just please, take me back" I closed my eyes kasi naririnig ko sa utak ko yung sinabi niya kagabi. Javi deepened the kiss and I let him, until one thing led to another.

"see? Wala na sakit ng ulo ko" he said as he helped me go down, giving me his shirt and my shorts. I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"but are you really okay?" javi asked, hinawakan niya ang bewang ko, isinandal ko ang ulo ko sa dibdib niya.

"yes, maliligo lang ako avi, kain ka na." sabi ko, he nodded, kissed my forehead and closed the door of the cr.

I hope that the sound of the water is drowning the sound of my tears. Hindi ko alam but when he told me na sa akin lang siya, what he said to einica replayed, and the look of him begging einica to take him back keeps on replaying in my mind. Hindi naman cheating yun eh, wala naman nangyari sakanila, einica wanted to talk if javi was single but javi insisted and failed to mention na we have been dating for six months.

"kahit masakit." I said to myself as I think about what I said to mara, kahit masakit.
