Sybiel Lopez Cruise*

"Beep beep what'sup cheapens! "  my alarm keeps beeping.

I should be at the office by 8:30 am yet here I am asking for more sleep. I drink too much last night and I couldn't remember what happened at the bar near Bf.

"Kring kring kring" i slowly open my eyes when it's already my phone ringing.

"Señorita!!! Comò estas??" It's my cousin Barbie Lopez who is calling.

"Halo guapa! Estoy bien!! Why'd you call barb? "
I asked her while my eyes trying to get back to sleep.

"I'm coming over!! Mañana!!!" She said and now I'm fully wide awake.

"What did you just say barb??" I ask again.

" I said I'm coming over in Manila cuz"

"No you can't Barbie.. I'm too occupied right now! I miss you Barb but...

"That was great! See you tomorrow Sybiel!! "

Well right now I have nothing to do with it I love my cousin so much she's a sister to me when my mother died in Spain her family look after for me and my brother Raldo.

Btw before my story or our story get going I'd like to meet you myself, yes myself and the rest of it when you get going through this book.

I love coffee so much that I spend my entire time sitting on the coffee shop near the window. I'm an accountant and they call me boss Biel in the office but my friends call me boss Say and that was never funny to me. Sybiel Lopez Cruise but you can call me Byel. I spent my entire life in Spain and here I am back to my mom's lovely country Philippines.

I love it here the people are so nice and my brother Rald is having a career here as an actor  because of his good looks. We been in the Ph since I started to have my college degree in Accountancy and I just passed the board exam. Well that takes a lot of hardwork since I'm a student athlete from prestigious Catholic school here in Manila. I play as a varsity basketball for our school but that doesn't make me famous it was being related to a celebrity brother but then I wanted to live lowkey as possible. I'm working in my Dad's construction firm as their accountant. It took much of my time these days because we are taking too many clients so far and I'm glad that I have my bestfriend Diana Louise Mackey. 

Speaking of her she's on the phone..

"Heeey sizt!"

"Hoy boss Say asan kana? " she ask.

"Sizt I'm still at my bed"

"But why?.. I told you not to drink last night".

"Sorry, I was. Look it's been five years since my mom died I just can't..." wanna bet a good cry later.

"Byel! Sizt! Galit na galit yung dad mo about sa nangyari to our last client." She said.

"Okay okay! I know it was my fault I'll hang up see you on the coffee shop."

I took a shower and started to cry I remember again what happened to my mom when she dies.   My dad has another woman in Spain  and when my mom knew about it she can't carry her self but she's more becoming a depressed alcoholic everyday. I spend my time in Barbs together with our other friend Franki they always comfort me when i keep running away from my parents problem.

I'm wearing a khaki pant suit  with plain tshirts on inside of khaki notched collar blazer plus a white shoes. I'm so thirsty of a cafè americano because my hangover is really heavy. I wear brown sunglasses to cover my eyes cause it sucks when I cry too much.

I parked from the outside of my favorite coffee shop here in Molito and I just saw someone my brother's girlfriend.

"Hey hey heyy!!! Rena!!!!" I shouted!

"Woah! Byel! Sorry I didn't get noticed you there "
So she's Macarena Achaga, famous Vlogger and celebrity. Rena and Rald is been in a relationship for almost a year and we almost mingled a couple of times and I can say that she is more closer to me than my brother it's because Rald is doing a lot of travel for his career and I am left with her girlfriend. She's beautiful especially when she smile but naah she's always a sister for me.

"What happened last night? Did you have a chance to talk to my stupid brother?" We ordered a coffee and started to talk about last night. I also ordered for my kiwi friend Dianna who is a little bit late for 10 am but here shes goes looking hot and sexy with eyeglasses.

"So magkasama pala kayo last night? " D ask.

"Yeah, nagpasama ako dito sa kapatid ng bugok kong boyfriend para ihunting yung kuya nya who haven't talk to me for a weeks already. " Rena said.

"Eh sabi po kasi Kuya ko he will be at that bar with his colleagues" i answered

"But it ends up this lil bitch drunk last night na kelangan ko pa ihatid sa bahay nila at d ko nakita yung kuya nya" rena added.

"Btw enough of last night, boss Byel you have a meeting to our previous client who you have messed up the other time. They give us a chance to build their hotel and resort in Boracay. "

"Really?"  I didn't take what she's saying seriously and D just keep on talking and talking while me was busy watching from a far and Rena doing her IG updates.

"Pero guys favor naman can you go with me tomorrow at the airport? "  i asked them both.

"Tomorrow is sunday boss" D said.

"D?? I'm  not asking you as a coworker, I'm asking you as a friend.

"Bakit anung meron bukas? " Rena asked.

" haha my cousin Barb will be here tomorrow" i told them.

"What? Yung sikat na model sa Spain?? " tong si Rena tanong ng tanong.

"Yes po! And hindi naman sya masyadong sikat"

"And why do you need us there? In fact we don't know how to speak Spanish " Diana said.

"Need you to drive with me D and Rena I need you to entertain her"

"Wow! Byel too busy into something?? "  Rena said and roll her eyes over.

"Please please please  guys??"

"Okay pero order mo muna kami ng red velvet and blue berry cheesecake pakibayaran na din boss." D said.

Barbie Lopez*

I'm going to the Philippines tomorrow, I just book a flight and my bestfriend Franki is going with me I don't know what's on her head but I think it will be awesome to be with her and Byel. We are the three bitches here in Spain we attended  the same high school in las encinas an international school.  It's been so long but our memories keeps on our hearts. Well as Byel is being an accountant in Manila, here at Spain I'm a looser model. I took a break that's why I started to thinking up about traveling to ease my mind.

"Barb! Barb! Here we are! Where is byel? " Franki ask.

"Wait I'm going to call her" i little panicked because it was my first time to travel a long way from my parents. They agree to set me free because they see me stress to much lately.

"Byeeell!!! Donde? We been here for almost 30 mins"

"Gosh Barb we as in we?? Who is with you?? " I'm still at the skyway but were already entering terminal 3 so stay right there be there at few I have to hang up bye ".

I didn't told her abour Franki.

"Oh they were here Barb!!

"God Franki is that you?? Girl I'd miss you!!!"  Franki and Byel hugged each other and surely they've missed each other a lot.

But I was just staring at this woman Byel's accompanied with, she looks gorgeous and her eyes was smiling at me. I'm being gay again for a beautiful lady in front of me.

"Byel your car's key nahirapan ako maghanap ng mapag parkingan. "

"Oh thanks D" another beautiful lady handed Byel's the key.
"Gals meet Rena and Diana." We shake hands and awkwardly kisses cheeks at each other while Byel's introduces us. Rena was  the one who are looking at me and she's making me sweat and nervous.
"Ren and D this is my cousin Barbie Lopez and my Spanish slash Kiwi bestfriend as like you D, Franki Russell. 

"Hi Barbie! I'm a fan of yours. " wait this gorgeous girl knows me.

"Wow! I have a fan here no sé sobre eso mi hermana" I told Byel while still looking at this gorgeous girl.

"Well when Rena saw that picture of you and Rald last year in Barcelona she's been jealous and I told her that you are my cousin hermana."

"Yes I'm sorry Barb" she said and smile.

"Ahhh! Si! Tu Raldos nobia? " I ask her. Endgame she's already taken.

"Yes she is Rald's girlfriend, btw guys let's get going the traffic is really heavy downsouth. "

Dianna Louise Mackey*

"Byel your car's key nahirapan ako maghanap ng mapag parkingan. " sabay abot ng susi at tumingin sa harap.

Napakaganda ng nasa harap ko half kiwi half spanish. Jusko Lord halos mabitawan ko yung hawak konna milktea.

I feel awkward kasi si Franki nasa tabi ko I'm driving while she's on the front seat. While Barb gets asleep on Rena's shoulder. Yung boss ko naman nandun sa dulo nag sosolo slash tulog din. Kaya ako pinag drive kasi ang haba daw kasi nang pasensya ko sa traffic dito sa south.

"So what you do Diana?" Franki ask.

"Well I'm the company's executive assistant, his father's assistant actually but I'm her bestfriend that's why I'm always at her side. " i said

"Uhm so you are my bestfriend's, bestfriend ? " gusto ko tumawa.

"Yeah maybe. She's my teammates in basketball way back college." I added.

"I see but there's no bestfriends competition here right?

" Yes" and we both laugh.

"And you know what we could be bestfriends too  given the fact that we are both Kiwi. " ayyy damn I get friendzoned agad.

I know I shouldn't be at any relationship right now but I'm having a little crush on Franki. I just recently broke up with Ashley and that didn't ended well. She choose her career over me and she said that I might be focusing on my career too so we both parted ways. Sobrang mahal ko sya at alam ni Byel yun kaya tong isa lagi din naming kasama in our 5 years of relationship. We never have a closure but we choose to focus on the what we have right now but I heard she's been dating a guy already.  I should started moving on as well and I think its already starting cause this Franki girl is already giving me some nerve.

Macarena Achaga*

While on the road I take an IG story while Barb is sleeping on my shoulders. Napakagandang anghel nya talaga if nakatulog siguro. Imagine pinagseseloshan ko to dati pero ngayon namamangha ako sa taglay nayang ganda. 

I'm more closer to Byel since naging jowa ko yung kapatid nya but I know since Rald and I was been using each other for popularity but  then things go by and I started loving him. Alam ko din naman na mahal nya ako pero this past few weeks hindi na kami nag kakausap kaya tong lasengga nyang kapatid ang lagi kong kasama.

"Hello mga kumander! Here na us sa bahay ng mga tropa ko! " ay bigla ko yata nagising si Barbie sa ginagawa kong IG story.

"Did I wake you up?? " I ask her.

"No! No!. It's okay! I'm sorry leaning on your shoulder."   She said. Mejo na nahiya din sya kasi nakatulog sya sa balikat ko.

"Okay, let's go"

"Vamos!" She said.

"Rald? " hindi ko alam nakauwi na pala yung kumag kong jowa.

"Babe, you're here. " he said and kissed me. Then I look to Barbie.

"Hey, mi hermana barb! Franki!! Enjoy your stay guys!!! " pag welcome ni Rald.

"Babe I'm sorry I just picked up some things na dadalhin sa set my PA was already here too. I'm going out of town for a couple of weeks to shoot. " he kissed me and I don't feel that he missed me.

"Babe I know that you are busy but atleast you could text or call me?? " naiinis ako sa kanya dahil parang wala lang sa kanya.

"Rena? You know that I love you right??"

"Yes but.. "

"No buts babawi ako after neto okay?"

"Sir ready na po yung sasakyan and hinihintay na po kayo ni Maam Lia sa set"  sabi ng PA ni Rald.

He left me and I look towards Barb and she smiles at me.

"Hey you shouldn't feel that way! My cousin a little bit of asshole!" She hugs me.

Franki Russell*

"Hey Diana? Can you teach me how to speak tagalog?"  She helps me with my suitcase.

"Uhm Franki take this room and D thanks for helping this naughty girl" byel said while looking at Diana' s eyes. What's up with this two?

"Well I guess some other time Franki"

"Why?" I see a sad face in her eyes.

"I guess I'm a little bit of busy right now"

"Okay, but saying no to me? You owe me a milktea"

"What?" She laughs.

"Okay, okay, I can't say no. Outside this village there's a mall will you go with me? " gosh Diana is asking me for a first date for the first hour of knowing each other.

"The weather seems hot so let's go!" We take Byel's car and go into the mall outside of the village.

On the way to the milltea shop  a guy good looking was starting to ask me a question. Dianna left me because she said she'll take a cash on the ATM.

"Ma'am working or student?"  A gug ask.

"What? I'm confused why'd you ask??"

"Mag offer po sana ako credit card ma'am no annual fee. All I need to do is get your ID and 3 months payslip " I'm still confused.

"Heeeey hey! Bro " Diana showed up like my knight and shining armor.
"Sir ahm.. hindi po sya mag aaply. Kaya ko pong tustusan pangangailangan namen araw araw"
What was Dianna telling the guy? I couldn't understand them.

"Ay sorry po maam" and the guy smile at me.

"Sige po"

"Btw bagay po kayo parehong maganda"
And Diana smiles at me.

"Diana? What did he say? "

"He told me that you are beautiful "

"That's tustusan means?" I ask her and she laughs.

"Huh?? Yes yes !! You are very tustusan" and she laughs.
