WARNING: R-18NIKKI'S POVThe moment we closed the door, Gale immediately leaned in and captured my lips. It was a slow, passionate kiss, which later turned into a deep, needing and fiery kiss. Kapwa kami nakapikit habang ginagalugad ang labi ng bawat isa. Marahang sinimsim ni Gale ang ibaba kong mga labi, at wala akong nagawa kundi ang magpakalunod sa sarap ng kanyang halik.Ilang sandali pa ay natagpuan ko na lang ang sarili ko na nakaupo sa kama, wala na ang mga saplot na kanina ay tumatabing sa katawan ko.Nakatayo si Gale harapan ko habang tinatanggal ang suot niyang T-Shirt. Hindi ako nakatiis, inilapit ko ang kamay ko upang kalasin sa pagkakabuton ang kanyang pantalon. Mabilis ko iyong hinubad, kasama ang kanyang boxer shorts.I gulped when I saw his huge member, hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na kumasya ito sa akin. Out of curiosity, I slowly reached for it, and held it gently on my hand. Napakatigas nito, animo'

NIKKI'S POV"Hi, you must be Dominique? Gale's been talking about you non-stop. Come inside," she said and immediately opened the door wider.I gave a her a small smile, still unsure on how should I react. I followed her inside. I wanted so bad to ask her who she is, but I couldn't seem to find the exact words to say. As if she read my mind, she turned to me and smiled."By the way, I'm Adhara. I've been friends with Gale since God knows how long," she was grinning."And I'm Dominique, Gale and I met a few months ago..." I replied."Why don't you sit here first? Gale's currently taking a shower," she offered.I nodded at her and sat on the couch. While waiting for Gale, my mind was in deep thoughts.Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ganoon na lang ako ka-tensed na para bang may mangyayari na hindi ko inaasahan. With Adhara's presence, I admit I'm a little bit threatened. She said they were friends, and yet, Gale never men

NIKKI'S POV"Looks like you two are getting along just fine."Napalingon ako nang marinig ko ang boses ni Gale. He was standing at the edge of the couch, his eyes fixed on us and there's a smile on his face."Hi, Love. Adhara and I were just talking about her—""We were just talking about my dream, you know, the reason why I left," she finished my sentence.Her eyes darted to Gale, giving emphasis to the latter statement. Gale tensed, and he looked as if he was in discomfort. As much as I hate to overthink, but his reaction simply made me wonder."Ah, yeah. Ara had always wanted to be a model. I'm happy for you," Gale stated, looking at Adhara.I was watching as they look into each other and I knew, they were not just best friends. They share the same kind of special treatment for each other, maybe because they grew up together.I don't know why, but a sudden feeling of possessiveness and protectiveness instantl

NIKKI'S POVI lay on my bed, my eyes are fixed on the ceiling. It's almost midnight, but I'm still wide awake. After that text message, I haven't heard from Gale again. No calls, no text message, and when I called him, I went straight into his voicemail. I exhaled a frustrated breath, wondering what he's been doing by this time.I sighed for the nth time, I couldn't help but to think negatively. I have been in a broken relationship, and it scarred me to the point that I find it hard to trust anyone again. Alam ko naman na mahal ako ni Gale, hindi ko lang talaga maiwasan na mag-overthink, lalo na at alam ko may kasama siyang babae.Hindi ko rin maintindihan kung bakit kahit wala namang ipinapakita na iba si Adhara sa akin ay tila hindi ko magawa na pagkatiwalaan siya ng buo. Something inside me tells me not to trust her fully, and I don't understand why.In the end, I chose to push those thoughts away from head. It's not healthy, and it would only destroy our relation

NIKKI'S POVGale drove to a nearby restaurant for our dinner. Habang nasa biyahe ay hindi ko maiwasan ang pagmasdan siya. It has been days since I last saw him, and I must admit that I miss him like crazy. I've been in love before, but I never felt this way."What are you thinking, love?" He asked.I gave him a small smile and sighed contentedly."Just thinking of how much you affect me, love. Days of not seeing you felt like hell. Sobrang miss na miss ko ang presence mo," I answered honestly.Gale grinned, obviously liking what he hears. I groaned and pouted my lips. Nakita ko rin ang laki ng pinagbago ng sarili ko simula nang maging kami. Gone was the coldness and hesitance in me. Kung dati ay hirap na hirap ako na magtiwala, ngayon ay wala akong makapa na pagdududa sa puso ko. And I'm very thankful to Gale for that. It's like he took away all the doubts in my heart.Maya-maya pa ay itinigil ni Gale ang sasakyan sa harap ng isa

NIKKI'S POVI woke up to an empty bed, and a sore body. I glanced on the bedside table and realized it's already half passed seven in the morning. I smiled when I saw a tray of breakfast along with a cute sticky note from Gale. I shook my head and smiled at the same time, thinking about how thoughtful he was."Good morning, Love. Need to go early, but I already cooked you breakfast. Have a wonderful day ahead.With lots of love,Gale Andrew"Para akong teenager na biglang kinilig nang mabasa ko ang sulat na iniwan niya. Indeed, he never failed to make me feel so special and loved.Tumayo ako at dumiretso sa banyo para maghilamos bago ko kinain ang inihandang agahan ni Gale. I smiled, he's so thoughtful that's why I can't help but to fall deeper for him with each passing day. It's friday and I might be late, but I don't seem to mind. Sa sobrang ganda ng gising ko, pakiramdam ko ay lumulutang ako.Pagkatapos kong

NIKKI'S POVAfter spending some time with Adhara the other day, muli itong nasundan. Strangely, I started to feel comfortable around her especially when she shared her story with us. I can't help but to feel sad for her. Makikita rin kasi sa kanya na mahal na mahal niya pa rin ang first love niya."So, wala na talagang chance na magkabalikan kayo?" Camille asked curiously.Narito kami ngayon sa Heaven's Corner dahil biglang nag-message si Adhara na gusto niyang makipagkita. Nagkataon din na break namin ni Camille kaya kami pumunta. We were sipping on our coffee while waiting for her to say anything."I don't think so, pero hindi naman ako nawawalan ng pag-asa. He's my greatest love, my 'TOTGA', to be honest," she replied sadly.I suddenly had the urge to hold her hand, and so I did. Sa pagmamagitan man lang nito ay ma-comfort ko siya."Hey, nandito lang kami, okay? If you feel lonely, or if you remember him, just call us. Willing

NIKKI'S POVI changed my clothes and went into the kitchen to look for something to cook. I sighed when I realized that my stocks are limited. Kinuha ko ang chicken mula sa fridge at hinayaan muna na matunaw ang ice nito habang naghahanda ng iba pang sangkap.Manaka- naka akong lumilingon sa sala kung saan naroon si Gale. He rested his head on the couch, and his eyes were closed. Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko na lapitan siya. I stood behind him on the couch, and gently touched his shoulder."Okay ka lang? You want some massage?" I asked.Kinuha niya ang kamay ko at hinalikan iyon. Bahagya pa siyang nakangiti kahit na nakapikit pa rin ang mga mata niya."Okay na ako, love. Having you beside me is like a breather. Don't worry about me," aniya."Are you sure?" paninigurado ko.He simply nodded."Okay. I'll just finish cooking our food, and then we'll eat. For the meantime, magpahinga ka muna. I love you," I whispered, and kissed his forehead.Bumalik a

NIKKI'S POVThe bright rays of the morning sun touched our skin, making us feel a lot warmer today. I looked around, and took a deep breath, realizing how peaceful this place is.I stood in front of a grave. Nandito ako para magpaalam, at makipag-usap sa isang tao na matagal ng nawala sa mundong ito. This will be the last time, because after this, I will surely go somewhere far away."Are you sure about this?" Gale asked from behind me.Lumingon ako sa kanya at ngumiti. I've never been sure. Napagtanto ko na kapag hinayaan ko ang sarili ko na masaktan habang buhay, ako ang talo. Kasi ang taong nanakit sa akin ay matagal nang tahimik sa kabilang buhay, habang ako, nandito pa rin sa pahina kung saan puro sakit at pighati ang nararamdaman ko."Y-yes, I am." I cleared my throat. "This is the only way for me to move forward, Gale. I needed to let this one out. I need to let go of my pain, and my anger...""I know." He replied.Lumapit siya sa akin at marahan niyang hinaplos ang mukha ko, sa
Guilty Pleasures SEVENTY-ONE
GALE'S POV"Nooooo!"A loud scream left my lips as I saw Adhara's car crashing to a ten-wheeler truck. Bumigat ang dibdib ko, at parang hindi ako makahinga habang tinitingnan ang wasak na sasakyan. Kusang tumulo ang luha mula sa mga mata ko.Mabilis kong itinigil ang sasakyan, hindi iniinda ang sakit na nanalaytay sa balikat ko. Bumaba ako at lumapit sa sasakyan. My heart was racing, fear consumed me.No! God, no! This isn't happening!Gusto kong paniwalain ang sarili ko na panaginip lang ito, pero ang eksenang tumambad sa akin ay patunay na totoo ang lahat ng ito.Wasak ang unahang bahagi ng sasakyan, at kita ko ang duguang katawan ni Adhara. Naipit ang dalawa niyang paa. Sa passenger side naman ay nandoon si Dominique. Wala siyang malay, at puno rin siya ng dugo. Kumabog ang dibdib ko nang makita ko ang dugong umaagos sa kanyang binti.Fuck, no! Our child!Wala sa sarili kong kinatok ang bintana, pilit siyang ginigising ngunit nanatili siyang walang malay. Ayaw kong isipin na... Hind
Guilty Pleasures SEVENTY
GALE'S POV"No! Dominique!" sigaw ko habang dinidiinan ang paghawak sa balikat ko, kung saan tumama ang bala.Dali-dali akong tumayo sa tulong ng mga magulang ko at susuray-suray na tumakbo palabas ng bahay. Sinubukan kong habulin sina Adhara, ngunit hindi ko na sila naabutan pa."Gale, we need to take you to the hospital!" histerikal na sigaw ni Mommy."No, Mom! I won't go anywhere until I find Dominique and Adhara. Call the police!" I instructed.Mabilis kong tinungo ang sasakyan ko at nagmaneho palabas ng village. She wouldn't have gone that far yet.I hissed from the pain that filled my system. Kinagat ko ang labi ko para pigilan ang pagsigaw. Sandali akong tumigil sa tabi ng kalsada. I tore a part of my shirt and wrapped it around my shoulder. Napapikit ako at napamura sa sakit, pero hindi ko iyon ininda. I have to find Dominique. Kapag may nangyaring masama sa kanya at sa anak namin ay hindi ko mapapatawad ang sarili ko.I wasted no time. Muli kong pinatakbo ang sasakyan at mabil
Guilty Pleasures SIXTY-NINE
NIKKI'S POVMy mouth parted and my heart started beating so loud, seeing the look on Adhara's face. She's standing on the doorway, her hands were inside the pocket of her black cloak. Hindi ko naintindihan ang kaba na biglang lumukob sa akin, hindi ko na siya makilala. She's far too different from the Adhara I knew a year ago.Siguro nga ay pagpapapanggap lang ang pinakita niya sa akin noon, pero gusto ko pa ring paniwalaan na may kabutihan pa rin sa puso niya. However, seeing her face right now, I could only think of the worse. Masama ang tingin niya sa aming lahat.I gulped when she started walking towards us. Instinctively, Gale pulled me to his side."What are you doing here, Adhara?" Gale's voice was stern, and serious."I came here to claim what's mine," she said.Napasinghap ako, lalo na nang makita ko ang kakaibang ngisi sa mukha niya. She looked like she lost her mind, and the way she laughed, I can't stop thinking that maybe she lost her sanity."Akin ka lang, Gale. You promi
Guilty Pleasures SIXTY-EIGHT
NIKKI'S POV"I'm really sorry for everything..."Hindi ako makapaniwala sa narinig ko. Tita Graciella was sitting in front of me, asking for forgiveness. It was something I never expected. After all, hindi maganda ang naging huling pag-uusap namin.I cleared the lump in my throat, trying so hard to stop myself from tearing up. Something warm touched my heart, and I felt as if it was burning. I always imagined how it would feel to make amends with her. And now I knew, the word happiness will never fit the way I'm feeling right now."I know saying sorry isn't enough to compensate for all the damage and pain that I caused you, but please know that I am sincere. I'm really sorry for all the things I did," she said, her voice started to crack.Her tears spilled uncontrollably from her eyes. Something told me that she's not lying. Her eyes held truth, and genuine regret.Hindi ko na rin napigilan ang sarili ko na umiyak. Bumalik sa isipan ko ang lahat ng masasakit na salitang binitawan niya
Guilty Pleasures SIXTY-SEVEN
LOUIE'S POVI glanced on my wristwatch, it's already a quarter past three which means she's already fifteen minutes late. I sighed, and told myself to wait for another fifteen minutes, and if she doesn't show herself yet, I will leave.The door suddenly opened, and I saw her walking inside with her eyes settling on me. Sa unang pagkakataon ay nakita ko siyang ngumiti ulit sa akin.Kumalabog ang dibdib ko at hindi ko maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko. It's been years, but the regret I felt for not telling her the truth is still eating me."Gracie..." I whispered her name."Louie... It's been ages," came her reply.Binalot kami ng katahimikan. Nanatili lang ang mga mata ko sa kanya, pilit na inaalala ang dating Graciella na naging kaibigan ko. She's still beautiful and regal, the past years did a good job in maintaining her beauty.Habang nakatingin sa kanya ay napagtanto ko na iba na siya sa dating babae na minsan ay naging parte ng buhay ko. And along the memories of our friendship, the
Guilty Pleasures SIXTY-SIX
GRACIELLA'S POV"Dominique is pregnant..."His words kept ringing inside my head. I couldn't take it! I wanted so bad to be mad at him, but when I looked at his eyes, I could see how happy he was. His eyes were filled with different emotions, and I knew it was all he ever wanted.Am I that heartless?Am I that selfish?Dominique stayed sitting on the couch, as Gale walked towards her, occupying the space beside her. He kissed her forehead, and it broke my heart. Gustong-gusto ko na hayaan sila, pero sa tuwing naaalala ko ang mga nangyari noon, hindi ko maiwasan na magalit.I trusted her parents, but they broke my trust.Unable to take the sight in front of me, I slowly backed down and left their apartment. Parang nawalan na rin ako ng lakas na pilitin pa si Gale dahil alam ko na mali ako. Alam kong mali ako, pero hindi ko pa rin talaga matanggap na sa dinami-rami ng mga taong pwede niyang mahalin, ang anak pa talaga ni Diana.Dali-dali akong sumakay sa sasakyan ni Ara na naghihintay sa
Guilty Pleasures SIXTY-FIVE
GALE'S POV"Dominique is pregnant."My own voice resonating in my ears. Malakas na kumabog ang dibdib ko, lalo na nang makita kong nag-iba ang ekspresyon sa mukha ni Tito Louie. Alam ko, I haven't yet done much to prove myself worthy of Dominique, but this pregnancy was unexpected. Nevertheless, I don't regret having her pregnant. The only thing I felt upon knowing about it is pure happiness.Umigting ang panga ni Tito Louie, habang si Nicole at Camille naman ay parang na-estatwa at hindi agad nakapagsalita.Naramdaman ko ang init ng palad ni Dominique nang ipatong niya ang kanyang kamay sa kamay kong nanginginig."D-Dad..." bulong niya.Ramdam na ramdam ko ang kaba at takot niya. Kitang-kita ko sa kanyang mga mata ang pangamba."What's your plan now?" Tito Louie asked.His voice was strained, but he didn't sound angry. Napalingon ako sa kanya, ngunit wala pa ring nagbago sa ekspresyon ng mukha niya. Seryoso pa rin ito at hindi kakikitaan ng kahit anong emosyon.Napatingin ako kay Domi
Guilty Pleasures SIXTY-FOUR
NIKKI'S POVI paced back and forth inside our room. I was restless, and worried about my family's reaction to our news. Our pregnancy wasn't planned, but it was the best thing that happened to us. And I'm hoping that this baby may unite our family, and strengthen our ties."Relax, everything's going to be okay," Gale whispered, wrapping his hands around my waist and giving me a soft kiss on my shoulder blades.I instantly relaxed under his touch."How can I?" I whispered back."I'm here, hindi ko kayo pababayaan. I will fight the world for you, love," he assured me.I nodded my head, and turned to meet his eyes. I can see the sincerity and honesty brooding in his eyes. He gave me a small smile before lowering his lips to capture mine.A few minutes later, we were already inside the car, driving towards the restaurant where we had a dinner reservation. We decided to let my family know first. As much as I wanted to invite Gale's family, I know it would only be full of tension and awkward
