Sabay kaming umahon ng tab at tinuyo ang aming mga sarili kalaunan. We lay on my bed and stare at each other for a while. Until he started caressing my hair which makes me fall asleep.

The next morning was a bit strange. Madalas kong mahuli ang tingin ni Kelsy at Zach sa akin. I just ignore them and think that they aren't suspecting me.

Nauna ko ng pinauwi si Kaizer that morning. I texted him because I can really sense that Kelsy and Zach are doubting.

"Who brought me to bed last night?" mayamaya ay tanong ni Zach sa amin.

We're at the table and having our breakfast. It's past eight in the morning at himalang maaga silang nagising kahit na lasing sila kagabi.

"Sila Neil at Kaizer." Ate Meaghan answered him.

"Why? Don't you remember what happened last night? You're truly drunk." Kelsy said as she poured her glass of milk that she gets from the ref.

Zach ate his bacon before he spoke. "I remember...some."

I turned in Zandra's way when I heard her cleared her throat. I gasped and didn't gaze at Kaizer that is now giving me a stare.

Please tell me that he only remembers what happened at the upper deck and not what happened in the room. He didn't hear us. I'm sure of that. He's sleeping.

"What you remember?" Ezi asked habang umiinom ng kape dahil sa sakit ng ulo.

"Hmm... Let me think about it." Zach looked at me. Nanigas naman ako sa kinauupuan ko.

"I was leaning on Neil. And Kaizer helped him to put me on towards the bed and..."

"And?" Lucien and Kelsy asked in unison.

I swallowed hard. I felt the lamp that stock my throat as my throat dried.

My lips parted when Zach's brow shot up while his glaring at me. "I... think that's it. Nakatulog na nga siguro ako."

After that conversation, I texted Kaizer to go home at mauna na siya kila Kelsy. Iba ang pakiramdam ko dahil may kutob akong nagsususpetya sila.

But the days and weeks passed until it became months ay naramdaman kong nawala na ang kutob kong iyon. Mabilis na lumipas ang mga araw. But we are still together. No one knows about us. Zandra and the three men that we fully trusted are still helping us to keep what we have us our darkest secret.

We graduated from our Senior High School and we have a small celebration at the club. Ngayong summer ay napagdesisyonan naming ipagpatuloy ang plano sana naming puntahan last year na hindi natuloy.

We're now going to Palawan and everyone is excited about this trip. Naghahanda na sila at paalis na rin kami mamaya. We have our flight and it's only me and my cousins travel. Hindi kasama sila Mom at Dad pati na rin si Russco.

"Neil, akin na yung luggage natin," Kaizer said as he glided it outside my room.

Some Kaizer's clothes were on my luggage, it's just his extra's. We share the spaces para hindi na rin daw ako mahirapan magbuhat kahit na kaya ko rin naman dahil siya ang magdadala. He only bring his duffle bag that good for traveling. We went downstairs at sinalubong sila Mom, Dad at Russco.

Nasa living room din sila Kelsy at ang iba pa na naghihitay sa akin para makaalis na patungong airport dahil ako ang huli nilang sinundo.

"Ingat kayo sa biyahe, anak." Mom kissed my cheek and I smiled at her. Ganon din kay Russco na malungkot na nakatingin sa amin ngayon.
