"Nico! Let me go!" I shouted still struggling to escape from his embrace.
"Maaga pa, matulog ka muna d'yan," saad niya.
"6 AM na! We're going to be late!" I said. Looking at the clock besides the bed, hands over his hard chest. And then I looked at him in the eyes, feeling the fan overhead as it whirl around.
"It's Sunday," he answered.
Blinking, still confused on what's happening. I grunt as he crawled his right hand up to my head and he patted me. I glanced at his brown eyes that shines beautifully as he get sunkissed by the sunlight. He was gently rubbing my head when a thought suddenly came into my mind. "What happened last night?" I sighed.
I looked around as Nico was still hugging me and still sleeping. The things in this room were familiar. I rubbed my eyes and looked around until I realize na nasa sarili kong kwarto pala kami. I can't deny, his hugs were so comfortable yet so warm. Like it feels like something to me that i can not explain. Nico is still sleeping while i felt his warm embrace around my body. He crawled back his hands on my waist. Pinching it gently.
He was so handsome.
I got startled when i heard a knock on the door of my room. I flicked my head over the door and to Nico again. A sigh escaped my mouth when Nico opened one eye on me and to the door grunting. He was forcing his heavy eye lids to open. Blankets still tugged at my chest. He raised his hands to rub his eyes, giving me a way to escape his embrace.
Madali-madali akong tumayo mula sa pagyakap ni Nico. The blankets swung around as I escaped from him. He let out a sigh and pouted like a little kid.
He looked like so much from that kid in my childhood days.
"Anak, almusal na tayo," Mom's voice said with a nice tone. I flicked my head on the source of the sound. Head scratching as I flicked back my head to Nico.
"Opo ma, susunod nalang po ako," I answered, giving Nico a questioning gaze.
"Bakit ka nandito?" I asked him. Tumayo siya mula sa kanyang hinihigaan, he just shrugged and walked towards me. I gave him a questioning gaze as he reached for my forearm and walked outside of my room as I throw the blanket on the bed.
"Almusal na daw tayo," nakangiting saad niya habang lumalakad papuntang kusina.
Parang kabisado niya 'tong bahay ah. I smiled back at him as we headed inside the kitchen. As we reached the kitchen, nakita ko si mama at si papa na naghahanda ng almusal sa lamesa. My Mom flicked his head and let out a nice grin while looking at me, and my dad did the same too.
Nico offered me a seat besides him while smiling at me. I sat down at the seat that Nico offered me, holding the plate as I put some rice in it. I glanced at Nico when he took the spoon out of my hand to get some rice too. Nico just smiled at me and then there was silence. The only noise that can we hear is the fan whirling around at us.
"Alam mo ba anak kagabi, lasing na lasing ka," Mom's said, breaking the silence as I flicked my head towards her, shocked.
"Galing mo ngang sumayaw kagabi eh," Nico said while popping the spoon into his mouth full of rice and smirked. I quickly turned my head towards Nico and covered my face with my hands sheepishly.
"A-ano bang n-nangyari kagabi?" tanong ko habang tinatakpan ang aking mukha mula sa kahihiyan. The three of them just laughed watching me covering my face.
I still can't remember anything that happened last night. The only thing that I can remember is Colin pouring some Alcoholic drink in my cup. Sunod non, wala na akong naalala. Lagot talaga sakin yon si Colin. "Ughh..." I groaned as the three of them still eating.
"Mabuti nga dahil dinala ka ni Nico dito sa bahay," saad ni papa.
"Nako, napakabait talaga ni Nico. At gwapo pa ha," dagdag ni mama. Ikinangiti naman ito ni Nico habang siya'y kumakain. I turned my head towards Nico, I just glanced at his side view while popping some spoonfull of food into my mouth.
Yeah, he's very handsome.
...
Kakatapos lang namin kumain. Sinabi ko sa mama ko na ako na ang magliligpit ng pinagkainan at maghuhugas nito. Nico was casually helping me putting the dishes into the sink when my mom and dad walked in the living room leaving me and Nico alone in the kitchen. I felt his gazes towards me as I walked in front of the sink and started washing the dishes.
I noticed Nico leaning besides me, watching me as I do the dishes. I felt goosebumps when his gaze caught up into me. I was brushing the plate that I used when suddenly I felt large hands crawling up my shoulder.

"Ano ba talaga nangyari kagabi?" I asked him. He was just glancing at me while I did the dishes.
"You were very drunk last night," He answered.
I flicked my head back from where I was doing, sighing. "You were dancing like crazy, nagdadancefloor ka nga kagabi eh," he added.
"Lasing ako non okay?" pagrarason ko, he just laughed and leaned closer to me. His breath was tingling my neck, he shifted his body on my back and whispered something.
"Ang cute mo nga eh," he said. Burying his face on my neck, his hands on the sides of my waist. I can feel his breath on my neck. "Baka makita tayo nila mama!" saad ko sa mahinang tono.
He keeps burying his face on my neck until I feel a soft lips kissing on the edge of my neck. He crawled his hands unto my head. His kisses were going upwards. His right hands pinched on my waist as his lips reached on mine.
His lips were soft.
I stopped on my tracks as he bit my lower lip, still kissing. His lips tasted salty because of what we ate earlier. Pero bakit sumusunod ako sa bawat galaw niya? I can't stop myself. The kiss was getting rough as he hugged me closer. Nakaramdam ako ng malaking bagay sa aking pang-upo habang hinahalikan niya ako.
I let go of his lips out of mine, realizing I need to finish the dishes. Baka mapunta nanaman to sa kung ano. I bit my lower lip as I continued washing the dishes.
"Nico stop, baka makita tayo nila mama." I said, biting my lower lip.
"Fine." he said, letting go of the embrace he was doing to me. I flicked my head towards him as he pouted while arms crossed into his chest.
"Um, Nico sino yung babaeng kasama mo p-palagi?" I stammered, realizing what I just asked. I covered my mouth with my wet hands sheepishly.
"Fuck, Devin what are you doing?!" I asked myself. I flicked my head away from him as I closed my eyes getting embarrased of what I had just asked.
"Oh, she's Allysa." he answered.
I turned my head towards him with a questioning look on my face.
"She's one of my... You know, uh..." He said. Face palming and he sighed. "You know what? Forget it, I'll make it up to you," he added.
"Yeah, yeah..." I sighed.
"Bakit nagseselos kaba?" saad niya na may halong pangaasar. I just grunted at his question while I glared at him. He just grinned at me sheepishly.
Eto talagang lalakeng to, hay nako... I sighed.
...
It's Monday, which means I got to get ready for my class. Ibang-iba si Nico ngayon kaysa dati. Dati binubully niya lang ako, pero bakit ngayon ambait niya na sa'kin? It feels weird.
Yesterday, my mom kept complimenting him, like he was so like an angel, kung gaano siya kabait at kung gaano siya kagwapo.
I sighed as I was getting ready for my school. Waving my goodbyes from my mom, I head out of the house. Walking with my head facing down towards the bus station, and then I saw an image waving at me. It was Luna, I walked towards her. I guess, sabay nanaman kami.
"Hey Devin!" she greeted me. I just smiled at her while heading inside of the bus.
