After a while, she raised her head, blew her nose with her handkerchief and looked at him. He wiped a drop of tear upon her lip. “What happened?”“It’s because of me…it’s my fault, I killed an innocent child Mars.”“What are you talking about?”She retold Chelsea’s accusations and it angered him.“Nothing happened that night, I just let him kiss me to show him I don’t feel anything anymore, to have a closure, for him to leave me alone.”“Hey, hey, listen to me,” gently palming her cheeks with both hands. “It’s not your fault, it was an accident.”“I know, yet I’m so afraid…what if karma befell me. I know I shouldn’t because God won’t be that cruel pero kasalanan pa rin ‘yun. She lost her child because of me, because I let Ash kissed me that night. I have the choice to stop it but I didn’t–““And what are you afraid of? That someday it will also happen to you?” Napansin niyang natigilan ito. “We all have our sins Trish and what you think you’ve done is not even your fault at all.
Be Officially Mine I. The Shocking Kiss
“Kuya, ano ba! ba’t ba gustung-gusto mong makipaglaro sa batang yan?” himutok ng batang si Trisha sa kanyang kuya na magiliw na nakikipaglaro sa kapitbahay nila nang masilayan niya ang mga ito sa harapan ng kanilang mansyon. Tumayo ang mga ito at nagtawanan. “Gummy, ang bata-bata pa natin, para ka ng matandang dalaga kung magtatalak,” tugon ng siyam na taong gulang na si Marsden. Dalawang taon ang tanda niya kay Trisha samantalang ang kapatid nitong si Marco ay isang taon ang tanda sa kanya. “Will you stop calling me that gummy, gummy…I hate it and I super duper hate you!” pairap na saad ni Trisha kay Marsden. “Patawarin mo na siya Trish, kawawa naman mag-isa lang siya sa bahay nila ngayon. Halika sali ka na lang sa’min,” paanyaya ni Marco sa kapatid habang hawak-hawak ang remote control niyang sasakyan. “Ayoko…ayoko, ayoko, AYOKO! Hmph! Mas gusto ko pang kalaro si Rapun
Be Officially Mine II. The Realization
Finally, nakarating na rin si Marsden ng Pilipinas. How he missed this place, his home. Nang palabas na siya ng airport at hinahanap ang phone number ng personal secretary niya sa Engineering and Construction Company na kanyang pagmamay-ari ay may nabunggo siyang babae and rashly held her from falling face down to the floor. Beautiful was not enough to describe her but gorgeous was most fitting. He met more beautiful women and dated a lot of them yet there’s one thing that he can’t take his eyes of. It’s her eyes. Napakaitim nito laying under long and gracious lashes, with full sexy lips and a cute little pointed nose. He wanted to feel that seductive lips inviting him for a taste. Then suddenly, he realized that the woman was flirting with him and swiftly pulled his head lower for a kiss just like how he wanted to do a moment ago. She tasted sweet and he wanted more, squeezing her body towards him and intensified the kiss but the woman stopped and blushed like an innocent gi

D’Trios “Pare, I can’t still believe it! Andito ka ngayon sa Pilipinas at nakikipag-inuman sa amin,” turan ng kaibigan niyang si Drazen. Nasa counter sila ng bar na binuo nilang tatlo noong nasa college pa sila. “Imagine that! Noong huli kitang makita para bang kahit magunaw ang mundo hinding-hindi ka na babalik dito,” patuksong turan naman ni Dave. Siniko siya ni Drazen sa tagiliran and they both uncomfortably looked at their friend. “Stop that look! It’s fine, it’s been five years already and I’ve moved on.” Nginitian niya ang mga ito to wash out the awkwardness. “And besides, we’ve already talked about it last year when you visited in the US, forgiven and forgotten. No need to think of the past. Hindi ba kayo masayang andito na ulit ako? Huh!” he smirked. “Dadami nanaman ang tao dito sa bar especially women…sexy and beauteous women,” sabay lingon sa naggagandahan at nagseseksihang mga babae sa gitn

Napakalamig ng panahon, napakasarap matulog lalo na kung ang kumot mo ay napakabango, smooth na, makapal pa. Ngunit iba ang pakiramdam ni Trisha nang imulat niya ang kanyang mga mata. Umiikot ang paningin at tila ba may maliliit na dwendeng pumupukpok sa kanyang ulo. Dim ang light na nanggagaling sa lamp shade kaya naman hindi niya gaanong makita ang paligid. Nakaramdam siya ng ginaw ngunit nang hilahin niya ang kumot tila ba may nakadagan ditong nagpapabigat. Bigla siyang natigilan, bumalik sa kanya ang mga pangyayari kahapon. Nasaktan siya sa pagtatraydor ng pinsan at ng kanyang nobyo. Gusto niyang makalimot kaya naman pumunta siya sa isang bar at naparami ang inom. Ngunit hanggang d’on lang ang clear na naaalala niya. Lumalala lamang ang sakit ng kanyang ulo sa pagpipilit na maalala ito. Her heart suddenly beats fast, her headache is getting worse. Oh my God! Ganito ang mga nangyayari sa pelikula, malalasing ang babae at magkakaron ng one night stand! Naalarma niyang bul

“So, how’s ‘the thing’ huh?!” kinikilig na tanong ng ka-officemate ni Trisha, even quoting with her hands when she mentioned ‘the thing’. Nasa cafeteria silang dalawa situated at the ground floor. It’s been a week since the incident at hindi pa sila nagkikita ni Drake dahil nasa Conference ito. He didn’t even contacted her nor she did to him. It just like both of them were avoiding the issue. Natigilan siya kahit alam niyang itatanong ito ni Abby sa kanya. “Ano bang pinagsasabi mo?” Pilit siyang ngumiti para hindi nito mahalata that there’s something wrong. “Ano ka ba! It’s your Third Anniversary, don’t tell me nothing happened?” pangungulit nito. Actually, something happened. “I’m not ready yet!” pagsisinunghaling niya dito. “Hay naku! Alam mo ba kung gaano kagwapo ‘yang boyfriend mong ‘yan? Everyone wants to do him, except me of course, and that’s because you’re my frie
Be Officially Mine VI. Gummy Friendship
Kakalipat pa lamang nila Marsden sa BLUE STREET Subdivision nang makilala niya ang dalawang batang magiliw na naglalaro sa maliit na park inside the Exclusive Subdivision. Palaging wala ang mama niya dahil palagi itong nasa business trip kaya naman sa parke siya lumalage pagdating niya galing sa eskwela. Maraming gustong makipagkaibigan sa kanya lalo na ang mga batang babae dahil na rin sa looks niya. Pero dahil sanay siyang mag-isa, walang kapatid o matalik na kaibigan hindi niya alam kung paano ewe-welcome ang mga ito kaya naman palagi siyang mag-isang naglalaro ng skateboard sa sementadong daanan within the park. “Kuya naman eh, ang daya daya mo, enemy na tayo,” sabay kabit ng matabang batang babae ng little finger nito sa batang lalaking nakaupo sa damuhan. “Sige na nga, o ikaw nanaman,” binigay nito ang brick game sa kapatid. “Kainis naman oh!” with pouty lips the girl was annoyed nang h
Be Officially Mine VII. The Scandal
Marsden was busy reading through the reports for the new expansion in Mindanao when his bestfriend and company lawyer entered his office. Kakabalik lang nito from Davao. Napangiti siya when he saw his annoyed face. “You should get over it man.” Napaupo ito sa harapan ng malaki niyang table. “Erase that smile bro, I haven’t forgiven you yet.” “Come on Max, it’s been a week since I got home and let me reminds you you’re out of town if you forgot.” “You should have called me or even just a text from you would suffice. Learning from someone that your bestfriend finally came back without even telling you hurts bro.” Para itong batang nagmamaktol but he can’t blame him, afterall he is like a brother he never had. Every year Max would tell Marsden to visit the Philippines even for just a while so they could party together and be wasted together just like the old days but he always reasoned that their branch in New

Be Officially Mine LVII. Inescapable Guilt
It’s been a week since Trisha heard Chelsea’s reason for hating her and no matter how much she tried to be optimistic and stop herself from feeling guilty, she can’t. Because she was there, and Ash did kissed her and she let him, to show him that she’s not affected anymore, there’s no spark, that things have changed for months of being apart after she transferred to a public school. And also to close their relationship properly, to say goodbye, so Ash would stop those childish acts that forced her to come to him. Chloe was in Davao with her boss and Marsden was in Bacolod to close a big deal. She missed him so badly especially now that she’s feeling down. They talked over the phone yet being together physically is different. She can’t eat properly, she can’t even sleep for fearing of the nightmare that came to her that night after she and Chelsea talked. She woke up crying, feeling the pain of losing someone, her heart cried and ache for someone. Her baby, her own baby. Most
Be Officially Mine LVI. Hatred Justified?
Weeks passed and Marsden and Trisha enjoyed every moment spent with each other. They read books together, do joggings together at the park Marsden usually do joggings. Marsden stayed with her in her apartment, together they went to the office and when Marsden needed to extend his time at work, he always asked Gareth, one of his trusted employees to drive her home using Marsden’s car.Trisha knew her friends noticed the change in their relationship but she always denies it. They both agreed to keep it secret and asked Chloe and Rudy to do the same. In the eyes of the others who knew them both they were just friends. Wala rin namang malaking pagbabago dahil sanay narin ang mga kaibigan na palagi siyang hinahatid at sinusundo ni Marsden pero siguro dahil na rin sa effort nitong mahatid siya araw-araw, at sa mga chocolates na dumarating, pati na rin sa mga pagkain kapag nag-oovertime sila kaya naman minsan iba ang ngiti ni Jay sa kanya.Everyday, waking up with Marsden was like livin

When Trisha woke up the next morning, she felt like someone who had finally woken up from sleeping for years. She just lay there and closed her eyes again to thanks God for this another day. Last night she thought it would be her last or if not, Arnel would definitely left her devastated and surely ruined. She wanted to cry again, not of fear this time but thankful and relieved to have her guardian angels. “Marsden,” she whispered as his face appeared on her consciousness. She can’t stop the blush traveling over her face as she remembered something else that happened last night. Naitakip niya ang mga palad sa mukha as the events played before her eyes. Feeling giddy for the words he’d uttered and guilty, definitely guilty for sleeping on him. When finally she decided to clean up and went down to the kitchen, her stomach growled with the delicious smell coming from there. Trisha thought him gone but she heard his voice singing along with the music on his phone. Nakita niyang b
Be Officially Mine LIV. Love And Obsession
Jade was calling Arnel for the hundredth time but it’s always out of coverage. She was anxious to know what happened and even excited to hear her enemy’s downfall. A sly grin slowly appeared over her face. Finally, if Trisha get devastated and change her positivity, Jade’s beloved Ash wouldn’t like the bitch anymore, and she will have him for good. Finally! Finally! But the bastard Arnel can’t be reached and it’s disturbing her nerves. She was about to leave and go to the bar where Arnel wasn’t banned when someone knocked on her bedroom door repeatedly. Her dad is in congress and her mom visited her friends. Who could it be? “I’m coming, I’m coming,” aniyang naiinis at padabog na binuksan ang pinto. “A-Ash!” Jade was a little bit shocked to see him and a sudden burst of anxiety dwells in her rapidly beating heart. What if Ash realized what she’d done? But he looked calm, maybe he is here to ask her out. She pasted her sweetest smile. “Hey, come in.” She led him to her sof

“We should terminate the contract to avoid being caught up with his illegal deeds,” Marsden said in anger. “But sir–“ “Your department is the one whose responsibility is to check the credibility of the people we get into contract with. How come, that this problem is here now taunting our patience.” He looked at their eyes one by one. “Don’t make me caught you receiving commissions from our clientele just for their papers to pass the screening.” They just looked down and received his scolding. This is a serious matter. These men are in the company even when his grandfather was still the chairman. He trusted their loyalties but someone is surely having his loyalty bought. “Sir!” bulong ni Hans sa kanya. “Nasa office mo si Trisha at Drew.” Napangiti siya nang marinig ang pangalan ni Trisha pero nagulat siya ng marinig na kasama nito si Drew. Worriedly, he excused himself at pumunta sa kanyang opisina. He saw Drew outside of his office. He was angry and worried while Drew re

“Mag-oovertime ako ngayon, I have a deadline which I think, is impossible to meet.” Kausap ni Trisha sa cellphone si Rudy nang tumawag ito habang papasok siya ng rest room sa kanilang floor. “I already explained it to her, pero hindi siya nakikinig and after the meeting she just left. I’m so sorry Ruds, pati ikaw nadadamay sa mga kalokohan ko.” “Ano ka ba, sumabay ka na sa boyfriend mo…ako na ang bahala sa sarili ko at tsaka minsan lang nga kayo magkatime, aayaw ka pa.” After assuring him she’s okay kahit na hindi siya masusundo nito mamaya, in.off na niya ang cellphone at ibinulsa sa kanyang blazer. Habang naghuhugas ng kamay, naisip ni Trisha ang meeting kanina. Thankfully, hindi siya late dahil every detail ng meeting ay importante. To start, Chelsea was having an indefinite leave. Unfortunately, as Chelsea is leaving, the staff are required to finish monthly reports this week and other necesarry reports for their new boss. Trisha handles four large branches and it’s defin

“God! She’s killing me!” Marsden whispered to himself when he got inside his car. It’s getting harder to control himself around her. He wanted to give in, he wanted to feel her, embraced her, wrapped himself with her heat. But his mind, the one who keeps on reminding him of his promise not to let his heart rule again over his head, waking him like a drench of cold water. He snorted with the thought that she wanted to learn flirting. She’s already a killer and he’s not sure if he can survive the next time. He tried to keep it cool, everytime this crazy attraction pulls him like a magnet and every day gets harder and harder to resist. Tomorrow, he should tell Trisha to stop what she feels because he doesn’t feel the same, such a big lie. He should stop this and if being far from her is the only solution then he had no other choice. ‘*** “Teka, ang aga pa ata nangangapitbahay ka na?” aniya
Be Officially Mine L. My New Neighbor
Days passed and Trisha and Marsden renewed their friendship. Eating together at breakfast and sometimes at dinner. But one thing that change is that he never sleepover anymore. Even when the rain never stop pouring, he always had reasons to go. Sometimes it makes Trisha laugh to think he was afraid that she would lose into temptation and ravish him at night. But then, reality also makes her sad that even though their friendship was returned, he was still careful and maybe just trying to spare her feelings…he might not have directly told her to stop but she felt how much he avoided her failed flirtations. It was not easy really, because Trisha don’t know how to flirt. With her previous relationships, she wasn’t actually into flirting, was not motivated or doesn’t have the chance or maybe theirs were different with how she felt with Marsden. However, she is quiet enjoying it. Everytime he looked at her in a way that to
