Love Made In Summer 18: Groupings
“Don’t mind these people, I don’t mind waiting” he mumbled beside me while wiggling his brows. “Can we go now? I’m hungry na” I hear the girl whine while taking a turn to go to the passenger seat. Brye’s sigh made me look at him and he pressed the lock button, making the car beep. “What now Aki?” she frowns, “sit with Faustino, that seat is taken” he bluntly and plainly told her before pulling me with him to the passenger seat and pressing the unlock button, and opening the car door. I silently followed him, sensing the different mood he had as soon as we got closer to his friends, I guess. I got in before taking a peek on the rear mirror seeing that the other two guys were looking at me as if checking me out. Then, as everyone got inside, Brye began driving, “so, where are we going to eat and discuss this shit?” the guy with clean-cut hair muttered, breaking the silence. “At Aki’s house, of course, we can just order take-out” the girl butts in, “no one’s going to my house, someplace

Then, time passed by. It was the weekend, and I visited home. I had my phone on silent but by the looks of it, each minute that passes, it lights up with a message. I look at my phone in my hands only to roll my eyes at it. Brye has been bombing my phone with messages and he won’t stop obviously until he gets the reply that he wants. For the rest of the drive, I was only looking outside while listening to music. It felt weird. The ride felt weird for some reason. For hours, we reached the familiar road where I grew up. Familiar shops and the path that led me closer to the house where I grew up. ‘Where I became the youngest housewife’. A small smile broke out on my face and the driver took turns according to my instructions until we stopped in front of our neighborhood, in front of our house. I paid the driver before getting out with my bag. I smiled at our dogs who welcomed me happily. Wagging their tails happily and barking like crazy at the sight of one of their owners. I greeted t

“Bisita po ako ulit kapag hindi busy sa school, magttext nalang po ako if ever” I told my parents before bidding them goodbye. I got inside the taxi along with a few things I got from my old things. I waved bye inside and the driver drove to my university. Since if I estimate the time right, I’ll arrive before my first class starts, at one. I looked outside, resting my arm beside the window, and my cheek rested on my knuckles while I try not to sleep. My phone lights up with a message notification. Luke: Karylle is free tomorrow, Are you free? I stared at it, thinking of my schedule. Thinking whether should I go or not, and come up with an excuse. I roll my eyes at the end. ‘I mean, I miss Karylle, but I’m kinda lazy but it’s been years as well’. I frown while looking out before letting out a sigh. Liana: I’m always free before class, siguro mga before 11? Luke: Sabihin ko sakanya, dadaanan nalang naming ikaw para less hassle, may malapit naman na mall sayo diba, doon nalang tay

Luke knocked on my door early in the morning. He was alone, much to my expectation. “Gago bakit di ka pa gising, kala ko gising ka na” he nagged while making himself comfortable on the couch. “Ang aga mo naman, very nakakapanibago” I muttered, turning to the bathroom to wash my face. “Anong oras na kaya, nine na ng umaga nakahiga ka pa rin” he adds while typing on his phone. “Maaga pa kaya yon” I grumbled, walking out and going to the kitchen to cook myself breakfast. I cooked a quick breakfast snack knowing that I’ll be eating again outside since I’m having lunch with Karylle and Luke. “Asan na daw ba siya?” I asked, slumping down on Luke, laying on his lap. “Di ba kayo nagchchat? Sakin ka nagtatanong” he frowns at me. “Ewan ko, one day, di ko na mahanap yung account niya on my phone eh, and I don’t want to reach out using my accounts, it seemed off to me” I roll my eyes at him. “Magkagalit ba kayo mga gaga” he looks at me confused. “Ewan ko nga diba, bakit baa ko yung tinatanong m

“So, are you hungry?” I flinched, immediately turning to my side to see Brye walking beside me. I abruptly stopped walking to look at him in confusion. “What? You’re seriously hungry? We can have drive-thru” he tells me, stopping his tracks as well. “I, I told you I can manage, right? And you didn’t have to wait for me” I tell him. “You did, but I didn’t agree so I waited at the food place beside, I was seated outside and I see you well from the glass, so” he shrugs. “That’s seriously stalking Brye” I frown, I held his wrist to continue walking with him. “Yeah, what you gonna do? Tell me to the police?” he gives me sass, and I roll my eyes playfully. “Whatever, at least tell me next time, muntik na kitang sapakin sana kanina eh, buti nalang nakilala kita agad” I chuckled and we reached the parking lot. He opens the door for me again, “but seriously, you’re not gutom? We can grab something on the way” he tells me, standing outside of the opened passenger seat. Before I could answer him

I knocked on his Brye’s unit. It was I think eleven in the evening. It was thirty minutes ago when I woke and I went down to the near convenience store first to buy something before going here. Brye opened the door after a few seconds of my non-stop knocking. He frowned at me, blinking at the weird knocks I gave his door. “That has to be the most psychotic knock I had ever encountered” he opens the door wider for me to enter his unit. His unit looked, too plain. I let my eyes roam around while I hear the door closing behind me. I look at him, “what?” he asks me, “You didn’t design things around?” I shrug while looking at him. He only hums while shaking his head. His eyes went to my hands where a big plastic bag is hung. “What’s that?” he tells me. It was my turn to hum before getting myself comfortable. I went to his kitchen counter and placed the bags down a clinking sound echoes around. He squints his eyes at me, “I figured since gagawa tayo ng cookies, it will be nice if we have s

“Hindi ko rin alam” I mutter, my lips pouting while looking at him. “You’ve been drinking since nagbbake tayo earlier, so something must’ve happened,” he told me, handing me another cookie, which I took from his hand, and munched on it. I sniffed, but no tears slipped. I gasped for air, intoxicated by the amount of drinks I consumed. “Kase I feel like I did something bad and it didn’t feel good, kaya siguro I drank” I threw myself toward his headboard, and instead of bumping my head, Brye caught my head. “Can you tell me why you’ve been drinking?” he gently rubbed my temple as he held my head. I look at him, my eyes felt teary at the moment. “Remember, kase,” I start, trying to form coherent words in my head, “Kase, diba” I frown, “Diba nung kahapon nga, when I met with my old friends” I whine, not knowing why, it was either I was getting impatient that he wasn’t getting what I was saying, or it was me, getting mad at myself for not explaining it properly. Either the two. “Mhm, yeah

“Ano nanaman yon?” I tell him as soon as he sat down in front of me. “The what?” He looked at me innocently. This is making me go crazy. Brye is making me crazy. “Oh, I saw you there Akihiko, ano yon?” I pressed. He whistles before laughing. “Shit the government name” he chuckled before leaning on his chair and crossing his arms. “Wala, they were just asking for a picture” he shrugs, the amusement on his face never left, and made me annoyed with him. “So, bakit kelangan na ituturo mo ko, ha?” I rested my elbows on the table and rested my chin on my knuckles while I leaned toward him. He stared at me while I waited for his answer, and all I got was a laugh. “Oh my gosh, bakit kase hindi mo nalang sabihin sakin kung ano nangyare kagabi Brye '' I tell him, getting frustrated at this point. “Nah, it won’t be fun anymore if I tell you,” he tells me, and thanks the waiter when our food arrives. I glared at him. One eyebrow is raised toward him. “And that tells me, na whatever you said to t

Love Made In Summer 55: Brye, Do You Want To Know Another Secret?
After I got out of the car, I ran to the building and waved to Dan before turning to where the entrance was. My clothes were still wet but they weren’t sticking to me anymore and my hair was half dry already. I got to the elevator and pressed the buttons, before waiting for the doors to open. The doors opened for a while and I got in. Before the doors close, a hand stops it. Brye gets into my view, a heaving mess. His hand forced the doors to be open and both of us were surprised to see each other. “Lim!” the familiar voice of Michael echoes across the lobby. I frowned and I was pushed inside as Brye hurriedly pressed the buttons. Just in time, the doors closed before Michael caught up. He seemed to be with the others, Nathan and Katherine.I looked at Brye in surprise. He glances at me, placing his hand on my shoulder while trying to catch his breath. “Okay ka lang?” I mutter to him. I see him frown while looking at my shoulder, his gaze shifting to me. I raised both my brows at him.
Love Made In Summer 54: Dancing In The Rain
The café near the campus, the one we always go to, was packed with people due to the schedule of the mid-term exam week. Weeks after the ‘episode’, Ally has been sticking with me, Brye has been taking extra notice of everything and Luke, well, he’s the same. It wasn’t the first time that he saw me like that. It took me a ton of convincing to get Ally inside Mika’s car so both of them could go home while I waited for Brye. Speaking of Brye, he won’t be able to pick me as well. I told him off because, for the last few days, Michael messaged me that he’s been ditching their meetings, so I gave him a good nag and assurance that he needed. Luke and Karlos were also supposed to pick me up and send me home but Luke just sent me a message earlier. Well, let’s not talk about that message.Dan enters the café. I catch his gaze and smile at him. “Hi, sorry, matagal ba?” he greets me with a hug, in which, I was pretty surprised. Nevertheless, I hugged him back and pulled away with a smile. “No, o
Love Made In Summer 53: Thank you, Brye
Brye comes back into his room, locking the door after. He goes back to his bed and sits down at the edge. He takes a good look at her. She was staring at the ceiling with a frown on her face, looking so dazed. Brye lets out a sigh. “Lili,” he gets closer to her, tucking her hair behind her ears. “It’s just me, okay? I’m here” he adds, taking her hand and started treating her. Despite that Brye wanted to rest, he couldn’t sit still knowing that she was hurt. While treating her wounds, a deep frown was set on her face. It took him hours to treat her wounds from her hands to her legs. Upon reaching her feet, his breath hitched, stuck in his throat. Brye bit his lip and started to treat her carefully. “Tell me if it hurts, okay?” he tells her despite that she has been quiet since he started tending to her injuries. She didn’t speak or flinch when he tried to dab medicine on her wound, and that concerned Brye.“I’m sorry if I’m bothering you, Brye” she mutters out of the blue while Brye is
Love Made In Summer 52: Episode
It was already the dead of night. The only light source I had was my night light from the other side of the room and my study lamp. When I got home earlier, I took out my reviewers and notes, along with my problem sets. It has been hours. I don’t know how long I have been sitting down here nor how long I have been answering these sets. I’ve lost track of time since the time I started this. My head was almost empty while I was answering these but at least it made me feel distracted. I let out a sigh before stopping scribbling answers on my papers. Beneath me was a pile of crumpled papers of the problems that I failed to answer. I slumped down my chair, leaning my head upwards, gazing at the ceiling. “I’m so fucked” I mutter to myself.Aside from my many problems regarding my family, my personal problems also seemed to pile up. Earlier, I got a message from Dan. He wanted to have dinner with me tomorrow. ‘I guess Brye would be busy tomorrow night, right? Since madami silang ginagawa’. M
Love Made In Summer 51: Long Night
My phone lights up.Riri: I’m here na. I perked up and wiped my nose, making myself presentable. The door opens, catching my attention. Brye found my eyes and he smiled. “Let’s go? We have to get dinner pa” he said before carrying my bag. I nodded and stood from my seat and went out with him. We got to his car in silence. On the way there, the window of the back seat was open, revealing Michael, Nathan, and Katherine. My brows went up and looked up at Brye after greeting Michael. “Oh, yeah, fuck I forgot, they’re crashing at my unit mamaya, we have something to do all night, I’m nearest sa university, so my unit was chosen,” he tells me. I nodded. “Gosh, can we go na? Andami pang deadlines na need habulin” Katherine mutters and Brye rolls his eyes. “It’s not that many, Kath, kakain pa nga tayo” Michael retorts. “Don’t mind them, mag-didinner pa talaga kami before going to my unit” Brye assured me before opening the door for me and I got in. He eventually got in as well.“Hi, Celi” Mi
Love Made In Summer 50: Our Ally
“So, how’s the weekend?” Ally creeps beside me. Miraculously, we got to school together. Mika just dropped her and so as Brye with me. Her eyes were glued to us as Brye suddenly placed a kiss on my forehead. I rolled my eyes at him and hit him lightly before I waved him goodbye. When I saw Ally, she already saw everything. That’s why her grin has been creeping me up. “Parang andaming nangyari sa weekend mo ah” she chuckles while clinging onto me. I sigh, “walang nangyari, Luke just wanted to hang, kaya lumabas kami” I shrug, trying to cut it short. “Wait, sino si Luke?” Ally asks, “Oh right, Luke is my best friend,” I tell her with a smile. She nods and types on her phone, “anong user name niya?” she asks and I tell her despite I was confused why. “Ito ba? He’s gay ‘no?” she holds her phone close to my face and I nod with a laugh.She goes back to her phone and scrolls. We were walking to our first class today and the corridors were bustling with students. Suddenly, Ally gasps, “OMG!”
Love Made In Summer 49: I Say Kisses are Better Medicines
“Do you want me to?” I hear Brye ask me while he continues to caress my cheek. I nod softly. I close my eyes. I waited until I felt his lips touched mine. It was soft and gentle like my lips were fragile glass. I let out a satisfied sigh. His lips caressed mine while I tried to match his pace. Sighs of both pleasure and contentment escaped us and time felt so slow.The hand that was caressing my cheeks slipped around my nape to pull me closer to him. The kiss gets deeper and I grip his shirt when he abruptly lays me down on his soft bed. The gentle kisses were somehow turning mildly rough. I panted and lost myself in the sensation. “Lili” Brye pulls away for a short time and mutters my name. I lay under him as he hovered over me. Caged under his legs while I pulled him closer to me. “Please kiss my pains away more, Brye” I whisper to him.Brye looks at the lady under him. Her eyes were sparkling and she looked lovely. He caressed her cheek while she tried to pull him closer to her, wa
Love Made In Summer 48: Brye and Liana
It was quiet inside the car as Brye drove us home. I was looking outside, my head empty and I felt like my body was floating even though I was firmly seated. There are only a few cars on the road and most shops were closed already. My eyes start to defocus, causing me to see my reflection from the window of the car. I let out a hum. “You okay?” I hear Brye check on me and I hum while nodding my head. “You don’t sound okay” he comments and I frown. I stopped looking at my reflection, shifting my attention to him. “What do you think of Dan?” I ask him, tilting my head to him. Brye takes a glance at me and raises his brow, “Bakit?” he asks me back and I roll my eyes, my head falling to his shoulder, “bakit mo ko tinatanong pabalik? Tinatanong nga kita” I retort and he laughs. “He’s okay, a normal guy” he cuts it short. I was silent, well he was right and there’s nothing more to it for me to say.“How about you, Lili? What do you think of Dan?” he throws the question back. I frown. My hea
Love Made In Summer 47: Dan and Brye
I was laughing and dancing mindlessly. Despite the sticky feeling, I mingled with people and had a lot of stupid fun. But, fuck, I think the alcohol had died down in me. I got dizzy and irritated with the people around me. My vision doubled. “Fuck”. An arm wraps around my waist, pulling me close to them. My chest tightened and I turned to push the person away. I gasped, bumping into someone and ended up on the bar. I hyperventilated and I was getting dizzier, mostly, I was still feeling drunk. I tried to breathe in and out to calm myself down. ‘What time is it even? How long was I here?’ My head pounded and I wanted to evaporate as I tried to grip on anything I could.And all of a sudden, a hand pulls me away from the crowd, pushing through the sea of people. I followed the saving grace and we reached outside. The breeze of the cold wind hit my face and I was finally able to breathe. “Cel! Okay ka lang?! Anong ginagawa mo don?!” a familiar voice scolds me. I frowned and gripped his ar
