3rd Persons POV
------------------
Condo Unit
Iniuwi nina Akini at Max ang nakatulog na dalaga sa kaniyang condo. Iniwan nila ito sa kaniyang kuwarto at pumunta sila sa sala.
"What shall we do now, Max. You're being chased and we're being watched. And most probably, Ruzzel's already hunted and the hunter may be waiting for her from somewhere. Do you think we can still go there?", Akini reminded.
Tumango si Max at desidido itong gawin ang plano nila noon pa.
"But I can't trust Larrence even Elamore. But if we need them, what do you think?", Akini
Mukhang nabasa ni Max ang ibig sabihin ng nakababata niyang kapatid.
"We need Larrence personality, he can sneak in better than I do. Uncle Ramlee and Dad already studied the walls and the ceilings. There's no way I can evem passed through. His good in his camouflage but his a scaredy-cat. Geez, I can't believe his my blood relative", Max
"What about Elamore? She's very suspicious for me and I've never trust her since she went inside that clinic. Do you think she can betray his brothers wife?"
Max stays silent for a while.
"Not yet but we still need her. She accept the plan, remember,, at alam ko kung anong habol niya."Max
"Then we only need to talk to Ruzzel.", Akini.
"Tomorrow, here... What do you think?"
"Its settle then."
Moments of silent.
Tumayo si Max, at parang nag shift ang serious mode into
"Hey brother, tomorrows Saturday we can have a date", Max
"Ahh.. you and your nonsense. Ano bang pwedeng kainin diyan?"(in japanese)
Tumayo si Akini at pumunta sa fridge habang nakasunod sa kaniya si Max
"You and your language. Huwag kang mag-alala, mag-aaral ako ng Japanese(In Korean). At huwag kang pa-cool sa labas, masyado kang mapagpanggap haha.. You childish brat!", Max respond and they just laugh.
"You arrogant jerk, don't use your language on me too. Its so gay", baling naman ni Akini at pinasalo ang isang bote ng beer.
"Did she buy all this?", tanong ni Akini habang nakaharap sa 10 rowed wine rack.
"Its Uncle Ramlees.... Hindi ko nga alam kung paano nabili ni Ruzzel ang pad. She's full of mystery, what do you think?", Max
"Yeah... she's a mystery herself", Akini
"Mukhang natamaan ka sa kaniya. Tell me, do you like her?", Max
"You like her, too. Its obvious. And you're a lucky big brother to even slept with her.... But don't touch her, I mean it", Akini...
"okay? But how did you know I slept with her"
"Tss... is she possibly wearing boxers?", Akini
Natawa si Max ng maalalang inilagay niya nga kaniyang mga gamit sa kuwarto ni Ruzzel.
"Good luck bro. Hindi magpapatinag ang kuya mo.", Max said

1st Person's POV
-------------------
Naalimpungatan ako sa malakas na musika na nangagaling sa baba. Pagdilat ko'y bumangad sa akin ang pamilyar na kisame at amoy. Dumako ang tingin ko sa may lamesang malapit sa kama at nakita ang isang larawan naka-frame na alam kung nakuhanan lang namin kahapon sa resort.
Napabalikwas ako sa ala-alang yun at napalinga-linga sa paligid. Kuwarto ko ito.. Paanong?
May papalapit na yabag sa labas ng aking pintuan at pamilyar ang kanilang mga boses.
"I hope she likes the picture"
"Sadly wala si Elamore, but no worries we could make some more hence its weekends. "
Sila nga pero anong ginagawa nila ditto?
Umalis na ako sa kama at nakaramdam ako ng kunting hapdi sa braso ko. NApatingin ako ditto at wala namang sugat I tried to pinch it.
"Oww!"
...
"Well, well well. You're awake, feelin better?", Leizelle.
"Uhm yeah? Anong ginagawa niyo ditto?", tanong ko sa kanila. Sumimangot si Nicole at Arianne habang lumapit sa akin si Leizelle.
"Sorry talaga", And she pouted.
Okay?
"Sorry, we force you to come with us and ended to the party, mabuti na lang nahanap ka ni Akini. Bakit hindi mo kasi sinabi na hindi maganda ang pakiramdam mo. Look what have happened to you. You made us worried", saad ni Leizelle.
Okay... SO si Akini ang nagdala sa akin ditto...
I will thank him later.
Luminga ulit ako sa palaigid.
Where's Max?
"Uhh. Nadisturbo ka ba namin? Sorry, for the loud music. Si Max kasi nag-d dj sa baba.", Nicole said.
"Nag d- dj?"
What for.
"Ask your boyfriend. Ikaw ah, hindi mo nasabi sa amin"
"Ano?"
"No more secrets please. Remember were bestfriends but we just caught your boyfriend this morning, here?Wearing apron? Cooking soup for her sleeping beauty? Oh my gosh, you have many things to tell us", Arianne.
"By the way, did you choose this wall colors? Its so boyish, don't tell us you're,, you know?", Arianne said while roaming her eyes in the bedroom.
"But you have a pretty cool deck out there", sabi niya and went to the courtyard.
As we went down, wala si Akini pero nakita ko nga si Max wearing a jersey while heating up some beat and seemed to be really good at jocking. He was wearing a headphone and the1/4 space of the living room was occupied with his intstruments.
He really is cool but....
"Hindi ko pala boyfriend yan. Believe me", I said to them pero parang gusto kong ibalik ang sinabi ko.
But they don't belive me with their faces like 'oowss'.
"Babe!, im glad you're awake!", Max shouted and shut the music.
ANo!!
"Please, don't believe him. And please... stop those make faces, its really uncool", I said.
Ugh... Tiningnan nila ako na parang gulat na gulat.
Kaya inunahan ko silang bumaba sa hagdan. Dumiretso ako sa c.r and remove my facial concealment.
And it was so refresing.
I took off my clothes and took a bubble bath.
Ang sarap.
....
Iniwan ba ako ng mama kahapon o may ginawa si Akini sa kaniya?
Am I safe to still go out?
Am I enlisted on there hunted list?
Anong gagawin ko, ngayon at alam nilang isa ako sa hinahanap nila?
At si Max? May alam kaya siya?
Hindi ko na talaga alam ang gagawin, at gusto kong kausapin sina doktora at Mr.Crawl. Litong lito na ako at hindi ko alam kung saan magsisimula. Bgut they tol me not to call them.
But I guess Max could really clarify some things.
Gusto ko siyang kausapin ngayon pero nandito ang tatlo.
"oww"
I was about to crossed my arms but I suddelnly felt a sting inside in my upper arm.
I massage it carefully. The sting is not that painful pero ramdam ko ang kirot ditto.
I got off from the tub and have a hot shower.
NAkita ko ang isang blue gown na nakahanger. Medyo basa ito..
That freak. Im not going to use that.
I grab some extra clean white gown in the closet inside this bathroom at sinuot.
//knock knock//
"Hey, sneaky beast. I know you're just behind this doors. Pwede bang lumabas ka na, I really can't deal with your girlfriends. And please do shoo them ... Ah, hindi naman sa gusto kong umalis sila with their worried faces for you but... it was a must.. The others wil come any minute and we really need to talk privately. It was really important, so hurry up"
"Coming", sagot ko na lang at lumabas.
.....
"Whatt?', tanong ko sa kaniya ng nakatitig ito sa akin.
"What is really your specialty Max? Im really getting the hint deep down those emerald eyes about a perverted freak who is actually a sneaky perverted freak... Now out of my way!", I pushed him pero ayaw umalis.
Yung mga mata kasi parang tumatagos rin sa kaluluwa ko. And I don't know about his personality so I just assumed.
And we were really close, lumayo ako agad more like stepped back inside the bathroom.
"What are you staring at? Don't tell me I need to fix my clothes because my undergarment is loosen or something.."
"A.. I"
May sasabihin siya pero hindi niya naituloy.
"Ano ba? Gusto mo bang sumigaw ako? "
"I really like your first face than the second one.", saad niya.
"And you know what?... ", bigla siyang humakbang papasok sa banyo kaya't umatras ako.
"Can i?", he said like unsure of himself.
Nakunot noo lang ako at hindi ko maitatago ang kabang nararamdaman ko ngayon.
His too close. Hindi ako umatras but I did push him. Napaatras siya ng kunti.
Sisipain ko sana siya pero bigla siyang lumapit and pulled my waist and..
And..
Why?
He's kissing me right now, with his eyes closed.
I was shocked in the sudden moment and just felt his lips brushing onto mine.
My body reacts to his action and I feel our body sharing the heat. I encircle my arms on his neck at lalo niyang hinigpitan ang pagkakayakap sa akin.
I was able to go along with his kisses because of the passionate movement which is making me lost but feels so peacefully and somewhat the feeling of safeness with him holding me tightly. And before I knew it, those arms wrapped around me is like a safe haven I'll never forget.
Our lips parted but he's still holdind me. I can feel the toned muscle of this guy, it was an automatic reaction when I caressed his shoulders and traced his jawline with my fore finger.
Tumaas ang isang kamay niya sa bandang batok ko, and he play with my wet loosened hair.
And without a second thought, my lips lead me to his and shared another gentle kiss.
But then..
Inner Conflict: WHAATTT!!!!! ANONG GINAGAWA MO!!
Para akong sumabog na bombilya ng matauhan ako sa ginagawa ko. The adrenaline rush lifted the bad spirit that just possessed me to do the 'thing' and pushed Max that made him laugh.
Agad akong lumabas sa banyo at pakiramdam ko mas mainit pa ako sa lava.
