last update Last Updated: 2024-08-05 01:29:53

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

    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.

    Summary “How about let’s get away?” he suddenly muttered beside me. A frown spread through my face while my head slowly tilted to face him, “adik ka ba? You want me to get killed by my parents Brye?” I laughed slightly at his remarks. He laughs as well with me, “why? It’s not like the first time you told them a white lie” he smirked, looking at me sideways from the seat. Both of them were inside his car, he gripped the wheel while the silence engulfed them and the only that they can hear is the soft tune of music from his phone. “Seryoso?” I ask him once again, tilting my head to him. “Hmm, that depends sayo, I’m just suggesting” he sing-song the last part, his lips curling into a smirk. A knowing smirk that tells her that he knows that she already agreed with him. Liana rolls her eyes, “you know that I’d say yes already, didn’t you?” she plainly stated to him, while Brye smiled. “what? I said I was suggesting, it’s a yes or no question, you always judge me too much” he playfully pou

    “Tangina, dahilan nanaman, puro ka nalang dahilan, bakit ba hindi mo magaya –gaya yang ate mo, wala ka naming ginagawa dito sa bahay nato, walang dahilan kung bakit ka babagsak ng ganto” Celi’s father, who has been lecturing her for the past two hours. As much as it sounded impossible for a lecture to last that long, it is possible. “Putangina, lahat naman ng oras binibigay sayo tapos ganito parin grades mo? Tangina mo pinaglalaban mo pa yang course nayan, tapos hindi mo naman pala kaya, puro kalang yabang kupal ka” he paused, still seething with anger, while I sat down in front of him in silence. “Lumayas ka sa harapan ko, kung gusto mo yang pabukod-bukod bahala ka sa buhay mo” finally, I was able to stand up, my feet numb because of the hours I had to sit down. Upon entering my shared room with my sisters, my tears fell without me permitting. My sisters looked at me with worry, as well as my mother who waited for the sermon to be finished. I smiled at them with a strained laugh befor

    The mall wasn’t far from the building. I even reached it by walking and I had a nice time, strolling around the place, trying to get used to the new space I just moved in. Since it was a Sunday, the mall was packed with people. From friends to families and even couples were enjoying their time around different shops and restaurants. I went straight to the department store, to the house decorations station where I strolled for quite the longest time, trying to find small and fitting ornaments to place around the house. While walking around, I felt my phone vibrate inside my pocket, making me take it out and answer the caller. “Hoy, hindi mo naman sinabi na umalis ka na pala, pumunta pa ako sa inyo gaga ka” I laugh at the sound of my friend, Luke. “Sorry, sorry, nakalimutan ko pala na pupunta ka today, nandito ako sa mall malapit sa building, pupunta ka pa rin ba?” I ask while proceeding to walk toward the nearest counter to pay for the things I choose. In the end, a few ornaments were

    I looked at the back of the man who escorted me to my unit. “ Today’s a lot of surprises” he took a glance at me with a half smirk on his face. “So, you happen to be my new neighbor” he added before facing me, stopping in front of my door. I frowned at him in confusion. “I live at 720” he chuckled, my mouth hanging half open at his statement. He laughed more, “so my neighbor Liana, maybe I can borrow the book tomorrow? I’ll just knock and I’ll bring the book as well” he smiled before placing down the bags he offered to carry before striding toward his unit and opening the door. He opened it and looked back at me, gesturing for me to go in as well with a smile. And I did go inside, in a trance. I shook my head at the revelation before carrying the bags from the department store to my room and the ones from the supermarket to the kitchen. Half of the day was spent organizing the house. I cleaned the kitchen counter and placed the snacks and foods inside the cabinet, placing the drinks i

    Brye looked at the small lady compared to him. Her height, and her physique, even though she is a grown woman already, she's small compared to those that he had seen. It was as if he was talking to a teenager who is still in their puberty phase if it was in terms of physique. He half smiled, “hmm, I’d suggest the usual that I’d take, that’s not on the menu but it’s what we’ll take” he smirks at Karlos before pulling the lady with him to a seat beside the wall. Brye watched her eyes wander around the places, looking at the frames that hung on the wall. Different pictures of the valued people the owner, Karlos, has placed, or the events from the past that he had taken an interest in. Soft music was playing in their background, “he’s your friend?” she finally asks something, muttering the words softly as if she was scared that Karlos will hear her. He laughs at her, “yeah, but he’s graduated already” he tells her, eyes landing on each other. She nods at him then falls into silence again.

Wala ka bang pakape jan?” he wandered around the kitchen, looking for something to eat. “Wala, I’m still about to buy an induction stove and other equipment” I tell him while I walk to the bathroom to freshen myself. “Ano bayan, may unit walang pangluto” he complains, while he tailed behind me. “Ano bayan, may cellphone pero walang load pangtext manlang” I answered him back, making him snort with a smile. “May pupuntahan ka?” I asked him while taking my wallet and phone. “Oo, may kikitain lang” he shrugged and I squint my eyes at him. “Weh, kikitain tapos sunod boyfriend mo na” I chuckle at him before I gestured him to go out. “Lilibre mo ko?” he grins, “hin

    “Wait lang, sorry I was in the middle of tidying up the kitchen, kakatapos ko lang kasi iayos” I gestured for him to sit down on the couch while I went straight to the kitchen to throw away the boxes where the equipment was placed. “I have drinks here, wanna have some while we read?” I heard him say, making me turn to him with a frown, witnessing the man was just sitting down on the couch. “Brye, it’s just past noon?” I look at him with bewilderment. Brye laughs at the face I made, “yeah, and? Please get the glasses?” he chuckled, and I blinked before turning again and continuing on cleaning. Despite that I did say it was past noon, I took glasses and placed them on the coffee table, “I’ll take the book” I told him before proceeding to my room and leaving him nodding. I came back again and Brye was opening the bottles ready, pouring them fully into each cup. “Are you just in the mood na uminom or may problem ka?” I commented before placing the book gently on the table and sitting down

  • 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
