"A-Ahmmm, I-I just want to say sorry last Friday..", titig nito sakin, matangkad ito sakin ng isang dangkal kaya nakatingala ako sa kanya. Ang pungay ng mga mata nya na parang inaantok lage.
"It's okay. If it weren't for you baka nagahasa na ko nang wala sa oras. And-", 'What are you saying. Nagahasa Karin naman nung siya yung kasama mo. Nakatitig lang ito sakin at ngumiti.
"S-sorry.."
"It's fine, it's just sex.", umiwas ako ng tingin. Feeling ko kita niya ang pamumula ng mga pisngi ko.
"Is that all it was?" kita ko ang hinanakit sa mga mata niya.
"Yeah, no big deal." I said looking at my hand that she's still holding.
"But it's a big deal for me." nakatitig ito sa aking na nais makita ang magiging reaksyon ko.
"Forget it." pag iwas ko rito at tumalikod ako patungo sa kwarto. I entered the room when I noticed na nasundan na pala nya ako sa loob. Sa pagkagulat ko dito ay napaatras naman ako at napahawak sa bandang puso ko, "G-god, ginulat mo ko!"
She smirked and said, "Are you a coffee lover? Masyado ka magugulatin." humakbang pa ito palapit sa akin habang ang mga kamay ay nasa bulsa na jeans nito.
Umiwas akong muli tsaka itinaboy ito,
"Get out! You're invading my privacy, Rielle." paatras kong sabi sa kanya.
She stopped and nagtaas ang kaliwang kilay nito, "Oh come on, Lexa... Invading privacy or ensuring unforgettable memories? I remember a time when this room's a lot more welcoming. Don't worry, I won't spill the secrets of that legendary Friday!", binasa pa nito ang pang ibabang labi nito ng dila nito na wari mo'y nang-aakit. Kahit di nito aminin ay may epekto ang nainom nitong alak sa bar kaya ito ganito. Kaunti daw ang nainom. Tse. 'But damn! why is she so sexy!'
"Fine! What is it that you want from me?!" pag-iwas ko ng tingin, it feels like I'm gonna melt the way she looks at me.
"What if I don't want to forget?", she steps closer...
