Chasing Flames

Habang nagpatahan sila sa loob ng Ancestral na bahay nila Sergio ay nakita niya itong nakatingin sa cellphone niya at parang may tinatawagan ito na tao.

"Hindi na ata to tatahan..." ani ni Venice sa sarili na nakatunganga sa labas na palakas ng palakas ang ulan at biglang bumakas ang pinto at nakita niya itong nakatingin sa kanya na pag-aalanganin.

"I think we can't drive this evening. The rain is getting heavier and it is dangerous if we drive at this moment." tumahimik nalang siya habang nag-iisip.

"What if dito nalang tayo for the mean time? I mean bukas nalang tayong umalis at dito nalang tayo mag pahinga." suhestiyon niya sa binata at bigla nalang itong ngumiti.

"Yeah sure, why not." He said and continue talking. "You should take a bath first while I'm preparing for our dinner there's a bathroom in this room and it already had everything there." He said and she just nodded in response.

"Okay! Cook something delicious ok? Mwuah!" She said sweetly and quickly run off to get a towel but before that, she stopped.

"Wait.... Wala akong dalang damit... Ano naman ang susuotin ko?" Sabi niya sa binata at bigla itong ngumisi ng nakakaloko.

"Just be naked I'm fine with it." Tinignan niya nalang ito ng masama at mukha naman niyang napansin.

"Geez babe I'm just joking.... See that cabinet over there." sabi nya na nakaturo ang mga kamay nito sa Vintage na cabinet at tumango ang dalaga at tumungin ulit sa kanya.

"There's a lot of nightdresses there... That was actually from my mom but I'm pretty sure you can borrow it." She just nodded and raise her thumbs then go to the cabinet that he was pointing and opened it.

"Woah...." that's the words that came in her mouth while seeing a lot of night dresses bras and many hot girl shit kinds of stuff.

She just grabs a satin red nightdress and goes to the bathroom and starts removing her clothes.

Venice just steps into the bathtub that is full of water. Well, Sergio came to the bathroom first so it's not a ghost who turns on and fills the bathtub. While relaxing she just hears her phone na dinala niya dito na nag-ring.

"Sino na naman kaya to?" tanong niya sa sarili at sinagot ang tawag.

"Hello?" Pangunguna niya ng komunikasyon at bigla siyang nakarinig ng isang matinik na tili.. Si Mezza to for sure.

"Bakit hindi mo sinabi sakin ha?!" Sagot niya na napaawang ng bibig niya.

"A-ang alin?"

"Na may Boyfriend kana palang gaga ka! Ikaw talaga Venice may tinatago ka talagang landi eh no? yieee." Sabi nito na nagpakunot ng ulo niya.

"Wala naman akong B-boyfriend." Paliwanag ng dalaga sa kaibigan niya.

"Gaga eh sino yung sumagot sakin nung tumawag ako sayo ha?! Ani nga pangalan nun? Siri? Safari? Soriano? Serge? Sel-" She immediately cut her words and correct her.

"It's Sergio." She said at tumili na naman ang gaga. Bakit pinakialaman ni Sergio ang cellphone niya? Or aksidente lang iyon?

"Yun! Grrrr ang gaga mo talaga may pa sabi-sabi kapa na hindi ka daw lalandi jan pero kyahhhh piste huhuhu Venice bigyan mo rin kaya ako ng lalake jan yung gwapo, mataas, matapang at mataas yu-"

"Hindi ko siya boyfriend!" Sabi niya sa kaibigan niya. It's really true! Wala talaga silang label, Pero ang sarap lagyan.

"Gaga mo talaga! kalat na kayo sa twitter sis! ayways.... I think Lezzo is getting jealous after you posted the picture that captioned 'Florence is great! Never been this happy with S'. Dapat talaga siyang mag selos! Gago kasi." Sabi nito.
