"Kuntento na ba ako sa ganito? Kuntento na ba ako na mahalin lang siya ng hindi humihingi ng kapalit?" Best Friends, iyan ang status ng relasyon namin ni Heaven Alvarez. Pero talagang nakatakda ata na maging ala Friends with benefits ang buhay namin. Idagdag pa na may itinatago ako sa kaniya na alam kong sisira ng lahat ng meron kami.

Elevators. Airplanes. Palaman ng Sandwich. Yung feeling na papunta ka pa lang at excited ka pa lang sa pupuntahan mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa lang yung birthday mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa ang isa pang espesyal na araw. Yung feeling na ilang oras na lang ay pasko na. Yung feeling na tatlong araw na lang simula na ulit ng pasukan. Yung feeling na nasa gitna ka pa lang at di ka pa nakakarating. Yung feeling na malapit na pero hindi pa. Yun ang laging gusto ko. Yung nasa gitna pa lang. Yung nasa gitna ka ng dalawang bagay. Gitna ng isang building. Gitna ng langit at lupa. Gitna ng dalawang matatabang tinapay. Gitna ng byahe papuntang disneyland. Mas gusto ko yung feeling tuwing nagbabyahe kesa doon sa nakarating ka na. Mas gusto ko yung feeling na may inaantay ka kesa doon sa nandyan na. I always like the things in between. "You only like things in between, Coreen. You only like the chase... You only want me chasing after you. You don't want to decide... Pero pakiusap naman, magdesisyon ka na, kasi tao rin naman ako, nasasaktan. And you? I don't think nararamdaman mo yung sakit na nararamdaman ko... You are just too heartless."

PROLOGUE tiniis ko lahat ang sakit. Isa isang nawala sa akin ang lahat. Ang pamilya ko. Ang Ama ko. Ang pagkatao ko at higit sa lahat inagaw nya sa akin Si Lemuel. Lahat kinuha nya na sa akin. Babalik ako bitbit ang poot sa dibdib. Dahil ako na si Sera Portman MAYAMAN. Magbabalik para ipalasap sa kanila ang sakit na naramdaman ko noon. At hindi lang iyon mang aagaw din ako ng meron sya ngayon. Katulad ng pag agaw nya kay Lemuel. Aagawin ko din si Nathan Won at hindi lang yun. AAGAWIN KO ANG LAHAT NG MERON SYA! Sana subaybayan nyo po.

"Lintek! Ano ba? Sabing hindi 'to si Adam!" Naiirita niyang sagot dito. Hindi ba ito nakakaintindi? "Hindi ka nga si Adam pero kanyang cellphone ito. Where is he? I need to speak to him!" Sigaw sa kanya ng lalaki. Gagong 'to ah, sinisigawan lang ako-Wait. Tiningnan niya ang cellphone at nagulat dahil isang iPhone ang hawak niya! Shit, she was a Blackberry user! Napabalikwas siya ng bangon only to find out she was stark naked under the sheets! Oh no... Natatakot at kinakabahan siyang lumingon sa kanyang tabi. Jesus Christ! She was sure as hell will scream at the top of her lungs if she knew-"Miss? Excuse me? Is Adam there?" "Yes?" Mahinang sagot niya. Oh dear God... Please Lord. Please no! "Tell Adam to be here in less than an hour." Yun lang at binaba na nito ang tawag. The nerve. Pero ang mas kinatatakutan niya ay ang ideyang may nangyari sa kanila ni-No! NO! Dahan-dahan niyang nilingon ang natutulog na lalaki sa tabi niya only to feel the nervousness wrapping her whole system. Oh shit! It's real! I'm not dreaming! Nagmamadali siyang umalis sa kama habang tinatabon ang sarili gamit ang kumot. "Oh my God." Paulit-ulit niyang bulong sa kanyang sarili. She could not believe this actually happened! She could not believe she actually had a one night stand with... with... with... Adam.

He's my dark past, my once happy-go-lucky ex, he's my mistake, my secret, he's the heartless jerk, he's my sweetest downfall, he's the cold-hearted bastard,. And he's Miguel Angelo Tan, my boss. He gripped me by my waist. "You are mine. Mine, Rein. Mine. Understood?" malamig at mariin niyang saad. His aqua stare making my insides go wild. Wala sa loob na napatango ako. "Good." He smiled. For seconds, inakala kong may nakita akong genuine doon but before I could think twice... he kissed me. I realized, he, too, was my everything. Pero he's better without me. All Rights Reserved.

A love story between friends. Cliche? Yes, but Jeri loved him so bad that she can do anything and will do anything for her love. Unselfishly. Kahit siya na masaktan. Kahit siya na luhaan. Martir? Hardly. Nagmamahal lamang siya.
