Noah's Point of View
More.
More.
closer.
I'm leaning myself close to her as i hold her waist preventing her from falling.
"N-noah"
In just a snap, i let go off of her at napahilamos ng mukha.
"M-maybe we should rest" i said at pumasok na sa loob.
--------
"eh san ka matutulog?" tanong ni Skyler nang sinabi kong ayaw kong matulog sa Guest room at siya na lang ang patulugin ko sa kwarto ko.
"s-sa sofa na lang okay lang. Ayaw ko talaga sa guest room eh" sabi ko habang kinakamot ang batok ko.
Nahihiya man ay tumango siya at nagpaalam.
Dahan-dahan akong naglakad malapit sa pinto at pinatay ang ilaw.
"Night sky" i bid her goodbye so as she.
"night night Noah" malambing na sabi nito na nakapagpangiti sakin ng sobra.
Dahil sa sayang nararamdaman ko ay saktong pagkasara ko ng pinto ay napasandal ako dito.
Nailagay ko ang kanang kamay ko sa dibdib ko at dinama ang mabilis na tibok nito.
Abnormal na ba ako? bakit ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko?
Napailing na lang ako habang papunta sa sofa.
May unan naman dito kaya ayos na.
Nang makahiga ako ay kinuha ko sa bulsa ang cellphone ko at tinext si Audrey na mukhang nagiging maayos ang trabaho ko.
Noah: Kind of a bit easy here, i'm already taming her. Soon she'll be mine
Audrey: C'mon hurry up i'm waiting for Lincoln to approach me, also update me.
Noah: gg i will.
Bago matulog ay hininaan ko ang brightness ng cellphone ko para kung magising man ako ng madaling araw at buksan ito ay hindi ako masisilaw.
Pumapasok ang lamig ng sariwang hangin sa nakabukas na bintana na nakapagpanginig sakin.
"Why is it so cold today" i whisper to myself as i hug the pillow of the sofa.
-3:00 in the morning-
"Sky, sky" i whisper as i got up from sleeping and saw myself with a blanket.
wait what? a blanket?
how did-
I was about to stood up when i saw Skyler at the ground with a pillow.
Naglatag siya sa baba.
Her bed hair is a mess but it makes her look cute.
Maybe she did the blanket thing.
Napabugtong ako ng hininga nang makaramdam ako nang kakaibang init pero normal na sakin 'yon.
I slowly got up at dahan-dahang tumabi sakanya.
Nagulat naman ako nang bigla syang pumaharap sakin at yumakap.
My heart is beating so fast. I can even feel my pulse.
Her warm breath against my neck makes me arouse.
Napapikit naman ako nang dumapo ang mga palad niya sa dibdib ko at yumakap pa ng mas mahigpit.
"fight it Noah fight it" i whisper to myself as i brush Skyler's hair.
I getting hard, fuck this sh*t.
"hmmm" she moaned that made my eyes dilated.
Salute, salute!
Fuck fuck fuck.
Dahan-dahan kong binaba ang ulo niya sa unan at dali-daling umalis sa pagkakahiga at tumakbo sa banyo.
Ang aga-aga!
"Arghh!" i groan and do the job.
I started stroking as i fantasize skyler on top of me, riding me.
"Fuck!" i groaned.
Fuck skyler i want you now.
Hindi mo alam kung anong pagtitimpi ang ginagawa ko.
My hand goes up and down as i felt a familiar tingling sensation that's starts building up in me.
A loud moan escaped my mouth as i burst it out.
Napapikit ako sa sarap.
High as fuck again.
After that i washed my hands with hand soap and took a shower.

Skyler's Point of View
-Midnight-
"l-lincoln" i whisper as i woke up from my dream.
Humahangos na napabalikwas ako sa kama at sinilip si Noah sa labas.
He's sleeping at the couch.
I walked towards him, i felt a bit guilt when i saw him trembling.
Pumasok ako sa kwarto niya at naghanap pa ng ibang kumot.
Nang makahanap ako ay kinumutan ko siya.
My eyes dilated when i heard him whisper my name.
"S-skyler" he whisper as i fix his blanket.
Napailing naman ako at bumalik sa kwarto para kumuha ng panlatag, kumot at unan.
Yep, i'm planning to sleep on the floor.
Nang makakuha ako ay nilatag ko na at humiga.
"night Noah" i said as i close my eyes.
-5:30 in the morning-
I stretched my arms as i feel the ray of the sunshine in my face.
I felt the softness of the bed, bed?
I opened my eyes and saw myself laying in the bed.
Am i still dreaming?
Suddenly Noah got out of the bathroom, i'm shocked as i saw him wipe his hair using another towel.
He's topless.
Napansin naman niyang nakatitig ako kaya napaayos na ako ng upo.
"Sorry i just got a shower, did i wake you up?" he ask as he search for a shirt in his closet.
Napailing naman ako at inihilamos ang palad sa aking mukha.
I swear i was sleeping beside the sofa.
"oh don't think too much, binuhat kita papunta dito. Baka magkasakit ka sa lamig ng sahig" he said as he mess his hair and turn around.
"Hilamos ka na,after that we'll eat breakfast outside" sabi nito at lumabas na.
Naiwan sa loob ng kwarto ang amoy ng shower gel niya na ikinapikit ko.
That scent, he smells like.. l-lincoln
Napailing naman ako at pumasok na sa banyo.
I can't take a shower i don't have spare clothes.
I was about to wash my face when i heard a knock on the door.
"y-yes?" i ask.
" you can take a shower, i'll just lend you my oversize shirts and i think my sister's closet have a spare shorts and lingeries." sabi nito na ikinangiti ko.
What a caring nice man.
"And there's a towel their near the closet, i'll wait for you" He said habang narinig ko naman ang mga yabag nitong papalayo.
I guess i'll just take a shower.
--------
Napangiti naman ako nang makita ko sa salamin ang ayos ko.
Just comfy ones again.
I'm wearing Noah's oversize shirt with a printed letters saying "baby" and her sister's high waist short.
I loved it.
Napansin naman ng mata ko ang pabango na nasa gilid, i took the lid and smelled it.
Smells refreshing so i sprayed it on me.
It doesn't matter if the perfume smells like boy, as long as it stays.
Napansin ko kasi na kapag yung perfume ng mga babae ang ginamit ko hindi nagtatagal yung amoy, kapag panlalaki naman kahit isang spray lang sa leeg pang-24 hours na.
Kaya nagaaway kaming magkakapatid eh.
Ako ang nakakaubos ng pabango nila.
Napangiti naman ako nang maalala yung mga kapatid ko.
But my smile turned upside down when i remember everything.
"sky let's go" napatianod ako sa reyalidad nang marinig ang boses ni Noah na inaaya na ako.
"Be there in a sec" i said as i comb my wavy hair and smiled.

Lincoln's Point of View
Morning again, without skyler.
How strange it is to wake up with eyes searching for someone who's not even there.
Hindi nakalampas sa pandinig ko ang hiyawan ng mga kapatid ko sa labas.
Is Skyler home already?
Dahil sa tuwa na lumukob sa dibdib ko ay hindi ko na inatupag pa na ayusin ang gulo-gulong buhok ko at dali-daling tumakbo pababa ng hagdan.
And there she is..
with Noah.
Nagtangis ang bagang ko nang makita kong naka-akbay pa ito sakanya.
Nainis naman ako sa mga kapatid ko na hinahayaan lang nilang umakbay itong si Noah.
I cleared my throat to get their attention.
"So you're home" i coldly said na ikinaiwas niya ng tingin.
Hindi nakalagpas sa paningin ko ang pagdaan ng sakit sa mga mata niya.
"I want you to give me one good reason. just one reason kung bakit ka tumakas sa hospital?" i ask her as i felt a nervous filling my body.
I saw that her clothes changed that made me angry.
Please Skyler, don't tell me that you already give in yourself to someone you just met.
"A-ahh, about that. You wanna know why?" ibinalik naman niya ang tanong samin na ikinakaba ko.
Walang nagsalita at kinain ng katahimikan ang buong bahay.
"All of you, why lie to me?" she ask.
Nagulat man pero hindi ko pinahalata sakanya.
Ang lima naman ay napayuko na lang habang si Mark ay napaupo sa sofa at napasabunot sa buhok niya.
"Because your parents want to keep you safe" i said in a serious manner.
Dinaluhan siya ni Noah ng bumagsak na ang mga luha nito.
"Years passed by and then you didn't tell me? you're all lying to me all this time?!" she shouts as i looked down.
I wanted to tell you sky, i wanted so bad.
But i can't.
"what?! bakit hindi ka makapagsalita? cat got you're tongue huh??" sigaw nito na ikinapikit ko na lamang.
"You're starting to piss me off sky" i told her.
"ok fine! we lied to you this whole time! we lied that we're your brothers because your parents wanted to protect you!" sigaw ko na ikinagulat niya.
"Happy now?! konting panahon na lang naman na sky, bear with us and then we'll leave. Bear with us." i said.
Napansin kong mas lalo siyang nainis.
"And what?! para makuha niyo na yung bayad nila mama at papa?!" sigaw niya na ikinatangis ng bagang ko.
Fuck this fuck!
Bumaba ako ng hagdan at lumapit sakanya.
"Yes, the hive pays us" i said and saw her being confused.
"h-hive?" she ask.
"just ask your parents after we finish the contract" i said.
Napailing siya at tumakbo sa kwarto niya.
Susundan sana siya ni Noah ng pigilan ko siya.
"Don't stop me bro, you're not even her brother" he said that left me in shock at sinundan na nito si Skyler.
Fuck!

Skyler's Point of View
I'm done, i'm leaving.
I hate this house, i hate them too!
Pati sina mama at papa nagsinungaling sakin.
How could they?!
Nang makarating ako sa kwarto ay kinuha ko yung maleta ko at nagimpake.
That's it, i'm going home in the states.
"h-hey where are you going?" tanong ni Noah na ikinalingon ko.
"i-i need you" i said na nakapagpalito sakanya.
"H-help me, i'm leaving. Help me hurry up!" napasigaw ko sakanya na nakapagpatianod at tinulungan ako.
Hinila ko ang cabinet sa ilalim ng kama ko and just got my passport.
Napaiyak ako at lumabas na ng kwarto.
"w-where are you going?" tanong ni Lincoln na hingal na hingal na.
I roam my eyes and saw a lot of vases that's broken right now.
"Im leaving" i said at hinila na si Noah.
Palabas na sana kami nang harangin kami ng lima habang si lincoln naman ay nasa likod namin at prenteng nakatayo.
""Oo kami ang proprotekta sayo at alam kong iyon na ang kinalakihan mo sa amin pero wag mo naman sana kami iwan sa ganitong paraan. Napamahal na kami sa'yo. Sa'yo lang namin ipinakita ang ganitong anggulo namin. We don't show this side, no one around us. Sana naman kahit nalaman mo na ang totoo, wag mo sana kaming iwan. Please even if you can't love me back but, im begging please don't leave us" Mahaba niyang sabi at lumuhod sa harap ko.
Tila parang sirang plaka na paulit-ulit na rumerehistro sa utak ko.
'even if you can't love me back'
Napailing na lang ako.
Ilang beses kitang minahal pabalik at ilang beses na rin akong nasaktan pabalik.
Masakit man pero kailangan ko.
"p-please" he beg.
dahil sa inis ay tumakbo akong muli sa kwarto at sumigaw.
"ahhh!" sigaw ko nang maalala ko ang lahat ng narinig ko sa sala.
hanggang sa maalala ko ang lahat ng sinabi at pamamakaawa niya.
sa dinami-rami ng lalake sa mundo bakit ikaw pa?
Bakit? bakit sa lahat ng tao bakit kayo pa?
kayo pa ang magsisinungaling saken.
why?
are you worth the risk?
because if you're worth the risk.. i'm willing to take any risk just for you..
As days passed by ang dami kong napansing pagbabago sakanila.
magugulat na lang ako na mag-aaway-away sila ng hindi ko naman alam kung ano ang dahilan.
and then this? not by eavesdropping but this is driving me crazy.
They're lying! they're all LIARS!
suddenly i felt a pain in my chest that makes my tears fell down.
Do i need to choose between stay or leave?
is there anything else i need to know more than that?
when finally everything is a mess?
this is bvllshit!
This is not right! Even if its just a white lie but still they're lying to me.
"Skyler open the door now!" i heard Mark shouting and banging the door.
Dahil sa taranta ay pinagdugtong-dugtong ko ang kumot ko at binuksan ang sliding window at ibinaba ito para magsilbing hagdanan.
Dahan-dahan akong bumaba mula dito.
Nang makababa ako ay tinext ko si Noah na palihim na umalis at kitain ako sa labas ng kotse niya.
--------
"So ano plano mo ngayon?" he ask me.
"what about your study?" he ask again but i didn't bother to answer him.
"Come with me, tutal kaibigan naman kita. Tell your grandparents that you will study in the states so that i can go with you" mahaba kong sabi na ikinagulat niya.
Napansin ko naman ang pagkagulat niya at diniretso ang kotse sa bahay niya.
Hindi man niya ko pinansin ay nakita ko siyang nagi-impake na rin.
Nang makasalubong ko siya at tumango siya at tinitigan ako ng seryoso.
"let's go" he said that made me smile but still tears raced down my cheeks.
Naramdaman ko ang yakap niya na ikinaluha ko lalo.
"t-thank you Noah, and sorry for bothering you" iyak na sabi ko.
I felt him kissed my forehead.
Suddenly my heart race as i look at him.
"As long as i'm with you. It's fine" he said at hinila ako sa kotse.
Pinaandar niya na ito as he drive to the airport.
Goodbye memories.
Right now i'll leave them here as i build a new one.
Goodbye Lincoln.
