I was alone thinking I was just fine
I wasn't looking for anyone to be mine
I thought love was just a fabrication
A train that wouldn't stop at my station
Home, alone, that was my consignment
Solitary confinement
So when we met I was skirting around...

They agreed to hide their relationship as per Lea's request though he hesitated at first. She shuns herself from any rumors that might spread. Though Emma and Jason could feel something is off, Lea assures to deny anything from anyone. Aga never missed a day without sending her messages and finds time to see her. As days pass by, she feels hesitation growing upon her. He's kind, gentleman, caring though annoying at times; she loves every bit of 'him'. But he knows nothing about her past and that triggers her conscience. It's wrong for letting herself fall that easily despite the heartaches she had but heart can't be taught. The more she stops herself from falling, the more she loses control. His affection enlivens every bit of her, he makes her feel special. Every kiss, every touch, every moment and every him, all of it makes her feel brand new. But she knows for a fact that eventually he'd know the truth. Letting herself fall even deeper may ruin herself entirely, she's afraid to get used to his attention and be left again alone and lonely. It's the first week of second sem. She pushed open her door and stepped out from her car when a man has just arrived as well.

She throws herself at his warm hug. It's Stephen, her co-teacher and closest man. "Hey, dude! How are you?"
"I'm fine, Lei. Kumusta?"
"Eto. The same old me. Wow. It's been four? Five months?", she pulls away.
"Oo nga eh. Sa faculty na tayo magkwentuhan. Balita ko iba na ang may ari ng school ah", he slid his arm at her back as they paced the entrance.
"Yeah. You'll meet him later. May meeting tayo eh. Atsaka ...", she's cut off upon seeing her man's look at them. "G-Good morning, Sir". She greeted him then quickly moved a bit upon seeing his eyes bore into them but he seems not hearing anything.
"Did we hire new teacher, Ms. Monteiro?", he asks the education coordinator next to him.
"Ah, Sir. Hindi po siya new teacher. He's Mr. Stephen Perez. On leave po kase siya for the entire first sem", she explains.
"Is that so?", he shifts his gaze to Lea. "How about you, Ms. Salazar? I assumed you were given class schedule na". He glanced at his watch, "but you seem late"
"Sorry, Sir. Natraffic lang po sa daan", she can feel the heating emotion when these two men exchange threatening look in front of her. Ms. Eunice noticed it and that pushes Lea to quench the heat.
"Ahm, sige po, Sir. We'll go ahead", she grabs Stephen's arm and deserted Aga's sight. She didn't bother to glance at him because his stare says it all.
"Ang yabang ata nong bagong owner. Iba makatitig eh", Stephen complains upon reaching the stares, far enough from the austere school director.
