ALMOST everything is turning out fine. Sofia was finally able to apologize to everyone for hiding the truth about herself. She spent most of her time that evening with her family, sharing her experiences seeing that not all of it is a bad thing.

Matapos ang pag-uusap nila ni Bill ay iniiwasan na niyang lumapit o tumingin dito. She feels so uneasy whenever he's around. Mukhang hindi naman siya nag-iisa dahil pansin din niyang ilag din ang iba rito. He never even showed them his face. Isang beses pa lang nangyari iyong tinanggal nito ang suot na cloak para ipantakip sa katawan niya nang magpalit-anyo siya. They only saw a pair of golden eyes and long strands of jet black hair that was also covering his upper face.

Tanging si Zafrix lamang ang komportable rito.

"It's been a long day, we should all go to rest," suhestiyon ni Cyan habang iniipon sa isang tray ang mga tasang wala ng laman. Tapos na silang maghapunan at nagkakape na lang sa salas habang nagkukuwentuhan. Hindi nila namalayan na alas onse na palang mahigit.

"Inaantok na rin ako, good night, everyone," sabi ni Gian.

"We should probably go to sleep as well. Masyado ng late. Bukas na lang natin ituloy ang kuwentuhan," sabi ni Marcus at hinila na patayo si Crystal na siyang pumipikit na sa antok.

"Good night, ate Sofia," naghihikab na sabi ni Crystal bago sila pumanhik ni Marcus sa hagdanan.

It was when Sofia realized that she was left alone with Zafrix. Bigla siyang nakaramdam ng awkwardness.

"Matutulog na rin ako," sabi niya at tumayo mula sa kinauupuan.

"Where do you think you're going?" pigil ni Zafrix sa kaniya nang magtangka siyang tumungo sa hagdanan. She could feel his intense stare burning her skin.

"To the bedroom."

"You're going in the wrong direction."

"Pinagsasabi mo?" anas niya bago nagpatuloy sa paglalakad.

Mahigpit siya nitong hinawakan sa pulsuhan, the simple gesture made her heart beat faster. Naghatid nang kakaibang damdamin ang init ng palad nito sa kaniyang katawan.

"I told you it's the wrong way, love. And I wouldn't take no for an answer," he said huskily before pulling her close to him.

He tipped her chin up with his index finger. The feeling of his warm body is increasing her body temperature. She suddenly felt that familiar achy discomfort in her stomach as if her large and small intestines were being tied into a knot. She met his grey eyes that were smouldering with passion.

"How long are you going to try and resist me?" he asked.

"I wasn't trying to resist you---"

"Then, let's go back to our room."

Hindi na siya nakapalag pa nang hatakin na siya nito patungo sa East Wing. Patuloy naman ang nararamdaman niyang kaba. What is it that she was supposed to say? Ano nga ba ulit ang dapat na reaksiyon niya?

Nakapako lamang siya sa tabi nito habang hinihintay ang pag-akyat ng elevator. Ni hindi niya ito magawang lingunin kahit na ramdam na ramdam niya ang maiinit nitong titig.
