Morris."Hey, Dez, I will see you later. Arrivederci!"I spun quickly and walked heavily toward my road ranger raptor. I needed to get Bre in time before five o'clock. I woke up as early as 3:30 a.m. I did my routine, doing my body exercise as early as 4 a.m. and feeding the chickens afterward. If there's more work to do, that is cleaning the yard, and Diezel can do that.It's and dark, but the full beam of lights made it all visible. Malapit lang naman ang tindahan nina Brielle mula sa bahay ko. Mga limang minuto na pagmamaneho, at kung lalakaran ko naman ay aabot ng sampung hanggang kinse minuto.I always hike. I like it because it's always my exercise. Sa tuwing umuulan lang ginagamit ko ang sasakyan na ito.Inihinto ko sa tapat ng tindahan ang sasakyan at namataan ko agad na bukas na ang ilaw nila.I fixed myself quickly and combed the strands of my hairs using my fingers. I smelled myself. I did put a little bit of perfume, and I hope it's not going to be a pain in Brielle's nos

Brielle."Ito lang, at tama na." I smiled as I looked at Morris. He was gentle, and it seemed like he was holding a fragile thing in his hand."Does it look okay?" Nagtagpo ang kilay niya habang seryosong nakatitig sa kamay ko."Oo. Maganda." Tipid na ngiti ko, at hinayaan na siya.Morris's hand is rough, wild, and huge but warm. His hand was covered in tattoos on all his fingers. It's an art, and I like its look. Even though I couldn't understand its message, I still liked it.Tahimik kaming pareho at seryoso niyang kinulayan ang koko sa kanang kamay ko. Hindi ko ito nagagawa mag-isa. Magaling lang ako sa kaliwang kamay ko, pero pagdating sa kanan ay hindi ko na kaya, at madalas ay si Morris na ang inuutusan ko.I find it cute that Morris hand is very light, sturdy and precise when it comes to this. Mukhang magaling siya sa balanse, at wala ni kaba man lang kahit na magkalapit na magkalapit ang katawan at mukha namin dalawa.Our position is nothing for us. His legs are wide open, an

Morris.Signal. Check.Loading.Connected.Fucking shit and biscuits. I'm back in the line."Yo, boss, welcome back to the underground. What's up?" Renzo's crappy face greeted me on the screen. He looks like shit. He is probably stressed because of me."You look like shit, Renz. Did you even shower?"He chuckled. "Five days ago, boss. Avevamo terminato la missione ieri sera. We had finished the mission last night. It's all good.""Grande, Renz. Good job. Be on standby now. I will be back soon. The dragon is calming down.""Okay, boss.""How's the business? You can open the two south branches next week if you want. Get the boys to work. It's not good for them to stay dormant for so long.""I will, boss. The boys will have fun again. They all miss you. . . And I miss you, of course.""Fuck. Don't be a gay, Renz. You're a Beta. Find your Luna, dickhead." Napailing ako. Nakakadiri minsan mag salita si Renz sa mga pa-miss miss niya sa akin.He laughed hard. "What about finding your luna,

Brielle.Anong drama meron kay Morris? Ba't wala pa siya?Panay ang tingin ko sa relo na suot. Alas sais na ng umaga at sikat na sikat na ang araw. Madalas naman ay maaga kami ni Morris. Pero bakit ngayon wala pa siya?Bumukas ang bintana sa gilid at napatingin ako kay Nanay."Oi, Brielle, anak? Nandiyaan ka pa? Wala pa ba si Ismael?"Napakurap ako. Naalala ko na si Ismael pala ang makakasama ko ngayon at hindi si Morris."P-Po?" Lutang na naman ang utak ko. Talaga bang hindi si Morris ang makakasama ko ngayon? Kainis!"Hindi ba sinabi ni Morris kagabi na si Ismael na ang makakasama mo. Nanliligaw siya sa 'yo 'di ba? At mukhang okay naman kayo kagabi." Ngumiti si Nanay at saka inayos ang kurtina ng bintana."Oh, hayaan. Mukhang andiyaan na ang prince charming mo."I looked at the person ahead, and my heart deflated with disappointment. It was Ismael. What the hell?"Good morning, Brielle!" Malawak ang ngiti ni Ismael at sinuklay niya agad ang malagkit na buhok. Hindi ako makangiti. H

Brielle.Hindi ba siya magpaparamdam sa akin ngayong araw na 'to?Humalukipkip ako habang nakatingin ang mga mata sa malayo.Ano ba ang meron sa araw na ito at mukhang wala akong gana sa lahat. Ang tamad ko, at magtatanghali na lang ay wala pa akong natatapos na trabaho."Hoy, Brielle! Kumilos ka na! Anong oras ka ba pupunta sa baba? May usapan kayo ni Sammy 'di ba?"Tinalikuran ko si tiya at isa-isa kong kinuha ang mga supot at ipinasok ang mga ito sa loob ng tindahan. Bukas ko na lang tatapusin ito dahil magkikita pa kami ni Sammy. Baka naghintay na iyon sa akin."Huwag mong kalimutan ang kalahating sako ng kamote, Breille! Ibigay mo 'yan kay Kapitana.""Opo." Bahagya ko itong binuhat at napangiwi ako. Ang bigat."Ilalagay ko na lang kaya ito sa trolley, tiya? Ang bigat eh." Ismid ko at humakbang na ako papasok ulit sa tindahan para makuha ang trolley sa gilid, pero nahinto ako nang bumungad ang hindi inaasahang customer."Hello, Brielle baby. Hello, tiya!" Kaway ni Ismael kay tiya

Morris."That's all, boss. All good.""Keep in touch, Bleu. Be discreet." My jaw tightened as I ended the call. I wiped my sweat and took off my top.Maaga akong nagigising at ginagawa ang bawat gawain dito. At sa ngayon na hindi na ako lumalapit masyado kay Brielle ay inutusan ko si Bleu na lihim siyang bantayan.I can't help myself. I care a lot about her, but I don't want to get used to it. She needs to move on without me all the time. My life here on the Island is temporary, and sooner or later, I will settle back in Italy.Ininom ko ang maligamgam na tubig at saka tahimik na pinagmasdan ang pag-litaw ng araw.Everything around here is beautiful. I find my solace in this place, and I'm completely different from the other person here.I'm ruthless as hell without a heart. But living here, on this Island, I learned a lot. I opened my heart and discovered one thing. Infatuation and love.Dammit. This fucking insane. I tried to deny these feelings, but the hell. I can overcome this.

Brielle.Tumaas na naman ang leeg ko habang nakatingin sa daan. Nagbabasakali na si Morris ang makikita ko ngayon, pero hindi, dahil ang nakangising mukha ni Diezel ito.I pouted in dismay as I looked at Diezel seriously. I raised my brow as I surveyed his body. He did not notice me. He was serious, too, talking with someone using his mobile. He paused a few meters from our sari-sari store with grumpiness. I pouted as I observed him, and instantly, my eyes widened a fraction after realizing that even Diezel himself was not a typical person to begin with.Ngayon ko lang ba napansin ito? Ba't hindi ko nakita ito noon sa kanya?Diezel has the same height as Morris. Body build? Morris is hot and wholesome, of course, but there's something different from Diezel... it's the way he stands in a precise manner that is inevitable.Kung tattoo lang ang pag-uusapan ay marami si Morris kumpara sa kanya. Malinis pa nga ang mukha at leeg ni Diezel at konti lang ang tattoo sa braso at kamay niya. Ma

Morris.Tapos na ang rehersal, at lumayo ako agad sa karamihan. Dumaan ako sa likod ng stage at mabilis na naglaho. Alam kong maraming mata ang nakatingin sa akin. Kasama na ang baliw na Diezel sa unahan. Sumenyas siya, at nang marating ko ang lagusan ay ang kotse ko agad ang tumambad sa akin. Pumasok ako, at hinintay lang si Brielle. Alam kong alam niya na nandito na ang sasakyan.And I was right, straight away, the passenger door open and Brielle got inside."Did you miss me?" I licked my lower lip, staring at hers. I miss her. I can't deny that."Huh, e-miss mo mukha mo!" Pinaikot niya ang mga mata at saka nag-seatbelt na."I'm hungry. What about you?" I asked and started the ignition."Me too. Dating gawi?""Okay, baby. Hold on tight, and we will get there in no time," I winked as I stepped into the accelerator.I could have stayed. The organizer wants me to stay, but I choose not to. I told them that I could only be there for a few hours. I can't stay long because I have other w

Brielle.Busog ako at masaya. Nagpahinga na si tiya at naiwan kami ni Morris na gising pa. Maaga pa naman, at alam ni tiya na sa bahay ni Morris ako matutulog ngayon. Kaya inayos ko muna ang lahat, para wala na siyang iisipin pagkagising niya bukas.Mahigpit ang hawak ni Morris sa kamay ko, at panay naman ang ngiti ko habang tanaw na ang treehouse. Huminto kaming pareho, at saka dumampi ang labi niya sa likod ng kamay ko na hawak niya. "I'll be missing you, Bree…" Humarap siya sa akin, at saka hinaplos ang gilid ng mukha ko."And I will miss you too, Morris…" Pinalupot ko agad ang mga kamay ko sa leeg niya at saka hinalikan siya.With both of our eyes shut, we kissed. . . It was majestic. Nakakatawa ang hitsura namin pareho. Para kaming mga teenager rito. We kissed, hugged, laughed and kissed again. Morri's jokes were not funny at all. Kahit pa anong jokes ang sabihin niya ay hindi nakakatawa ito dahil hindi bagay sa hitsura niya. Kaya heto, tudo tawa ako.Morris is also not romant

Morris."Ilang linggo ka sa Italya? Buwan ba? Taon?"Glenn grimaced as he looked at me with never-ending questions. I shook my head, sipping the light champagne.It must be my last family dinner for I am going to go back to Italy in the next few days.“I will be back before you know it, Glenn.”He laughed a little bit.“I will keep an eye on your woman if you want.”I chuckled as I looked at his wife below."Brielle is fine. She's easy and she'll never go anywhere. Hindi naman siya katulad ng napangasawa mo ngayon. Mukhang palaban ang misis mo."“A little bit. She’s stubborn, but I can handle her.”"Sinusuban ang pasensya mo ano? In that case, I will not bother you to keep an eye on Brielle. I trust her,” I proudly said, and it was his turn to chuckle.“So, are you going back into business again?”I know Glenn is worried, but everything is okay with my business abroad. Iyon nga lang may mga bagay na sadyang naiiba sa kalakaran, at alam na niya kung ano ang mga ito.My father knew abo

Brielle.I couldn't sleep, ending up staring at him while he was asleep.Noon, hindi ako naniniwala sa pag-ibig. Wala akong alam kung ano ang nagagawa nito sa buhay ng isang tao. Marami akong tanong tungkol sa pagmamahal, at nang hindi ko makuha ang tamang sagot ay kinalimutan ko na ang mga ito.Si tiya lang ang mahalaga sa akin noon. Siya lang ang pamilya ko. Siya lang ang kinikilala kong ina. Pero nang dumating si Morris sa buhay ko, ay nagbago ang pananaw ko sa pangalang 'pag-ibig'.I suddenly feel a weird desire, longing, and love for him. I want to be with him. I can't be at peace without seeing him. I want to sleep and wake up beside him. I want him to be a part of me. I want him with me forever… I know I'm selfish at times, but… that's me.Pero hindi naman ako bulag. Alam ko ang pangako namin ni Morris sa isa't-isa. Pumayag ako sa gusto niya, dahil wala namang kasiguruhan ang buhay.I'm not a good person. I've done a lot of bad things, and I have a dark past that I've been try

Brielle."You don't want us to go somewhere, Brielle. Why not? The weather is good, baby. Let's go out fishing.""No. I don't feel like fishing." Tumalikod ako kay Morris at saka nag-kunwaring abala sa lababo."Alright. So, when do you feel like fishing or swimming?""I don't know. . ." Kibit-balikat ko. Nilingon ko siya. Nakaupo siya at hawak ang mainit na kape sa kamay. Dapat sana ay pupunta siya sa kabilang Isla para mamalengke, pero pinigilan ko. Si Bleu ang gumawa nito. Inilipat ko ang gawain na ginagawa niya madalas sa amin ni tiya."Why don't we finish the project you started at your place?" I sweetly smiled and walked towards him.Nasa bandang likod na niya ako nakatayo at niyayakap siya."The tree house?""Oo... Hindi ba matagal mo na na gusto matapos iyon. Mas mabuting tapusin na natin bago ka bumalik ng Italy."Humawak siya sa kamay ko, at saka umikot ang tingin sa akin. Tumayo siya at nakatingala na ako ngayon sa kanya.Matangkad si Morris, at polido ang katawan. His broad

Morris."How are you feeling, Nay?" I gazed at her with concern. Brielle hadn't shared the truth about yesterday's events, and I learned about it only from Nay Belen."Okay lang, dong. I'm good, oi. Why worried? I was having fun there, you know." Humalakhak si Nanay at napangiti ako."Nag-alala ako, Nay. . . You are no longer young to wander around on your own. So, please be very careful." I gave her a quick hug."Oo naman. . . Hindi ko pa pwedeng iwan si Brielle ano." She smirked at Brielle, and my darling Brielle looked worried at her.I moved to her side. "Why didn't you tell me yesterday? I could have helped," I whispered."Okay lang. Wala namang nangyari. Naka-uwi naman kami ng maayos dalawa ni Tiya." She placed the food she made on the table."Next time, please let me know first, Bree," I gritted my teeth. "I'm here. I should be the first person to know. And the first person you seek for help."We stared, and she nodded gently."Next time. I will seek you first before anything

Brielle.Nakaraos din ang gabi at heto, tulala ako sa sarili.His mother and brother, Glenn, left about an hour ago. Morris and I stayed because this restaurant also provides overnight accommodations for those who wish to stay longer than a day.Hinintay ko lang na matapos si Morris sa banyo at ako na ang kasunod. Wala ako sa sarili kanina at pilit akong nakikisama sa ina niya.She asked many questions as if she were one of my teachers in school. She seemed classy, as she came from a good family, the Monteverde.Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na hindi basta-basta ang pamilya ni Morris. May pangalan siya. May pinangangalagaan. May sari-saring negosyo sa buong Asya at Amerika and mga magulang at kapatid niya. Si Morris lang ang naiiba at hindi ko alam kung bakit. Ang alam ko lang ay may negosyo rin naman siya sa Italya, pero hindi raw kalakihan ito. Hindi raw tulad ng kapatid niyang si Glenn at ng mga magulang niya."Are you alright?"I spun, and there he was, standing a few feet from me, a

Morris."Just meet them. That's the only way. Glenn is doing everything he could. He is in a tight sport, Mors. Hindi ko ito sasabihin sa 'yo ngayon. Pero ginagawa ni Glenn ang lahat para sa 'yo. He might be heartless, but he loves you as his brother."I shut my eyes while listening to Reeve in the line. Wala siya rito at nasa Amerika. Pansamantala, ay si Glenn ang humahawak sa negosyo niya na nasa parehong Isla."I already gave Glenn the details, and your mother will be there. Meet them for once," he added.I gritted my teeth. "I hate the old man," I uttered under my breath."He is not around the country at the moment. It's a good opportunity, Mors. And with the deal Glenn made with your father, it saves you."I inhaled deeply and shook my head.That lunatic Glenn, really? How many times I told him not to worry about me. He needs to worry about himself first! Ang tigas ng ulo niya."I know what you're thinking, Morris. Glenn is your brother. You and him are the same, bro. Hard heade

Brielle."All of the sudden? Akala ko ba hindi ka seryoso sa relasyon na ito? Hindi ba sinabi mo sa akin na wala kang maipapangako?" I looked at him, confused, thinking of the other way around. Excited ako, at kabog ang pintig ng puso ko habang dikit ang tingin ko sa mga mata niya. Napaigting siya, at nakuha ko agad ang ibig niyang sabihin.I sighed, feeling disappointed. "Okay lang, Morris. You don't have to force yourself to introduce me to your parents. I'm not ready for this." Inunahan ko na. I shook my head and turned away from him. I know I should be celebrating because most woman looks forward to this... To introduce them to the parents of the person they love. But Morris is different. We already had a deal. He doesn't want any lingering promises, and I don't like this. I don't want a commitment. Kahit pa sabihin na natin na sabik ako at gusto ko naman, ay puno naman ng pag-aalala ang puso ko. Kaya mas mabuting wala na."Hey, Bree. Listen to me." He followed me.I paused an

Morris."Did you stuff it up?" Bryce asked in the line."No. I did not, asshole. I'm not as sick as you," I laughed while connecting the line to Linus."Fuck. You know you're an asshole, too, at times, Mors. You almost give me a heart attack, bro." He chuckled. His line came back clear now, and I can see him better than before."Yo, looks great! What did you do to yourself, Mors? You're finger-licking good, man," Linus spat. He can see me better, too.My face flushed, and I shook my head."Psst, keep quiet, gentleman. Let me remind you that our big black bear is in love." Diezel uttered."What? Damn. Are you serious?" Bryce's mouth parted. "I can't believe it." He shook his head."Oh well, who's the lucky girl?" Linus smiled."Let me guess? Is it Brielle? Siya lang naman ang magtitiyaga sa isang katulad mo, Mors," kantyaw ng walanghiyang Diezel."Stuff you." I cursed and growled at him, and the rest of them laughed."Ibang klase… So, this Brielle what she's like?" Linus asked."Oh, u
