Dan: Okay lang if I pick you up bukas?

Classes ended an hour ago and I was staring at the message for a couple of minutes now, troubled about how should I reply. “Ano yan?” Ally peeks at my phone and gives me a malicious smile. “Ikaw ha, you look like you’re very head over heels with that Dan guy” she giggles like a high schooler, making me cringe and roll my eyes playfully at her. I didn’t fight back against Ally with what she said, not because she was right, but, I didn’t really have anything to say to it.

Celiana: Sure? What time ba tayo bukas?

I reply back to Dan before placing my phone back inside my pocket. “Aw, it’s weekend nanaman, two days nanaman kitang di makikita Marie” Ally whines and I laughed out loud with her use of my second name. “Tangina wag mo ko tawagin niyan, that’s a cringey name, andami kong katulad” I tell her, making both of us laugh. Soon enough, Mika arrives to pick up Ally and I was left alone, waiting for Brye.

  • Love Made In Summer    30: Tangled

    From chandeliers and wines to neon lights and vodkas. The once formal atmosphere is now turned into a party with booming music and people dancing with people. Brye was nowhere to be found, he was pulled away by Karlos earlier, letting me and Luke party around with the others. Still, all the countless drinks that I consumed didn’t make me forget what my brain had told me. Everything was spinning, the lights blinded my eyes, Luke was handing me another drink and we were dancing, and yet I can’t stop thinking. “Ingina, lamo ba” I wheezed, inhaling a huge amount of oxygen and slumping my arm on Luke. “Oh ano nanaman yon” he responded back with an amused grin on his face. I didn’t care about his phone at the moment nor thought that he might be filming me but all I wanted to do was tell him what had happened that time. “Kaze, nakaraaaan, nagluto ako, ako, kami ng coookiz” I slurred, trying to get all the words out of my mouth. “Tapos anong nangyare”, “nagluto ako diba, diba, andon din si a

  • Love Made In Summer    31: Just a Little More

    Soft and gentle. That is how Brye held me, while he kissed me pretty hard. Biting my inner lip, making all sounds I let out muffled. He moves his lips on mine while I try to catch my breath while trying to kiss him back. He moves us both, leaning me on his car, the hand on his neck carefully landing on my head, and eventually, Brye started kissing me on my jaw, down to the length of my neck, leaving little pecks, while I panted. My hands were placed on his shoulder, trying to balance myself. And I never heard when he opened the door of the passenger seat but it was open. Brye goes back to kissing my lips, licking my inner lip, a whine breaking out as a deep sigh. And he moves my body once again, carefully and gently. One hand never left my waist, one hand went to my hips as he sat me down on the passenger seat. He pulls away from me, looking me in the eyes and smiling, “See, I get to sit you down, with you being obedient” he smirks. I was dazed, looking all flushed, cheeks were burni

  • Love Made In Summer    32: Let's Play Pretend

    I stared at the air while Brye worked around my kitchen. This morning, Brye was beside me when I woke up, typing furiously on his phone. It took a while for him to notice that I was awake and when he did, he smiled before greeting a good morning. I only let out a hum and stared at him as I tried to rack my brain about the events last night. And I did remember them since I was half sober last night, I think. And I’ve been wishing that I shouldn't have racked my brain because everything that happened last night flooded my brain. I’ve been trying to pretend that nothing happened while Brye made something, more like heating some food from my fridge actually. “Head still hurts?” he asks, pulling me away from my trance. I shook my head, “just, I feel like floating, yun lang” I told him, a small smile forming on my lips. Brye lets out a chuckle, “you kinda drank a lot last night, you and Luke were pretty knocked out last night nung nakita namin kayo ni Karlos” he chuckled while placing the fo

    “casu in praeteritum”, I read, looking at the cursive signage outside of the cafe. I got out of the car while he looked for a parking slot. I strolled along the premises and landed outside the shop that was filled with people. The line wasn’t that long but looking from the outside, I could tell that there were a lot of people inside already. “Ano? You like it?” Dan pops out beside me and I look up at him with a smile, “depends on how strong the coffee will be, pero I like the aesthetic” we both chuckle and go on the line. I got some of my things, my tab with the keyboard, my notebooks, and some materials. I didn’t bring a book. I stood beside my table earlier thinking whether to bring one or not but for some reason, it felt like it was wrong to bring one. ‘Maybe Brye’s habits are rubbing on me too much’, I sigh at my thoughts and wait for our turn to get in. “I didn’t realize na magkakaron ng maraming tao ngayong opening” I hear Dan complain beside me. “Okay lang naman, baka naman wo

    I was unable to speak nor to form any words. I stared at Dan while he anticipated my answer. “Too much ba? It’s fine if you don’t answer ngayon, I can wait naman” he nervously chuckled and I woke up from the trance. “Ha? I mean, okay lang Dan, I mean wait lang let me get my sense lang ha” I closed my eyes, trying to get my shit back again and tried to process his words. I look up at him. “Okay ka lang ba? Hindi ka naman nauntog kaninang umaga?” I frown at him, not really believing his words. He laughs at my words, trying not to spill his drink. He shakes his head, “I woke up fine, Ly” he tells me, and I frown. “Dan, well, I don’t know what to say yet but I guess oo, pwede natin itry, pwede naman” I shrug, “wait nga holy shit, I really don’t know what to say, I’m not prepared for this, bakit ka naman ganyan” I let out a shaky sigh and he laughs. I felt him hold my hand and rub the back of my hand. “It’s fine, I think I overwhelmed you, sorry, pero now that you’re near, parang di na ko

    There’s a buzz. A frown instantly made its way to my face. “Brye” I mumble, making Ally look at my way, her left brow raising at me. I copied her face before slowly sliding the accept button and placing it on my ear. “Ri?” I ask for him, waiting for him to answer. A groan welcomed me, following a whine, making my frown run deeper. “How’d you got to school kanina?” I hear him ask. His voice lingered with frustration and irritation. I blinked at his random and sudden question. I could hear the faint clinking of kitchenware around him. ‘Must be on a brunch with his family’, was the thing I first thought of. “Lili?” He whispered. “Well, sumakay ako sa bus,” I replied while picking up my pen again. “Bat?” I followed. “Are you not nagtataka I wasn’t in my unit? Or nagaalala?” the sass in his voice spilled. I smiled at the thought of him rolling his eyes. “But I haven’t heard you come home, Ri, and sure ako na once you get back to your unit, you won’t. You’d knock my door open bago ka makapa

    Clinking champagne glasses and the smell of expensive perfumes made Brye almost empty his insides. He’s in a yacht, surrounded by people he doesn’t want to be with. Not to mention that he was running away from Go since this event had started. Brye wants to be home and he doesn’t want to be here. “Your face looked like you’d be happy to jump from here and swim to the shore and go home” Michael appears beside him. “That’s right, give me more ideas like that Faustino” he replies, raising his glass a little before chugging down the contents and placing it somewhere. Michael laughs at his friend. “You know pwede ka naman na umalis ngayon, but your family is probably gonna tear that ear off if you did,” he tells his friend who looks like he is mourning. Brye looked at the night sky. The moon was present and it looked beautiful. He wonders if Lili is also looking at the moon right now. It’s bright and it’s big. “Lili loves the moon looking like that” he mutters under his breath while starin

    “Oh, please, give me a break Marcus, did you miss me that much for you not to give me a ‘me’ time” Brye rolls his eyes while placing his phone in his pocket, away from his brother’s grasp, hoping that he won’t ask. “If you were there, talking to the people that you need to talk to Akihiko, then I wouldn’t be tailing and chasing you, and who was that? You were told that no phones ah?” Marcus, the eldest, is summoned by the Lim couple to find the youngest after noticing that he isn’t seen around the important people. “You don’t need to know who it was, that’s not gonna make your business successful if you knew them” he rolled his eyes, continuing to ignore his brother.Marcus who had gotten pissed at his younger brother pulls him by his shoulder. Brye and Marcus faced head-on. Brye had a deep frown plastered on his face, irritation was visible and so was Marcus. “I am getting pissed with this attitude you are giving, Akihiko.

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    “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!”

    “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

    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

    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
