"Pinili ko ang bahay dito dahil may sariling training space dito na nasa basement.""And there is also something you need to know," dagdag ni Eveline. Tumango siya kay Eveline para hayaan itong ipagpatuloy ang sasabihin."Actually, the information she left me about you included a key to this house. I think that there might be some clue here kaya dinala na rin kita dito. Maybe you can find something here that can tell any valuable information."Napamaang siya. "Have you looked around? I'm guessing you did."Tumango si Eveline. "I did, pero wala akong makita. So, I'm leaving the job to you."She nodded. "I'll try to look at it. Any more information I have to know?"Umiling si Eveline. "Nothing. Just continue your training. In a few weeks, we'll practice your shooting."Tinapos nila ang pag-uusap at tinawag na ni Eveline pabalik si Lucien at nag-usap silang tatlo. May mga binilin ito kay Lucien at sa kanya bago sila nito tuluyang iwan sa bahay."Hon, we're cohabiting—"Hindi niya hinaya

Four weeks later. "Ready ka na, hon?" Lucien knocked on Zephyra's door. After several weeks of learning tagalog, he can now speak it with a little difficulty of course."Nanjan na," she answered from inside her room. He can understand her when she speak in tagalog and sometimes they even hold conversation with the language. But his pronunciation is still not accurate compared to her. He still has a long way to go. He was trying to improve his speaking because he noticed that Zephyra was more comfortable speaking in that language which he did not take a hint before at all. When she got out of the room, he saw her in simple t-shirt and jeans and a denim jacket. She was also wearing a black cap letting her curly hair fell over her shoulders freely. This look was very different from the her before. Ever since they temporarily live in SF, Eveline told her not to wear her usual track suits for her safety."Tara na? Naghihintay na si Eveline sa shooting range," he said.She smiled at hi

Dapat mainis siya o 'di kaya magalit kagaya ng mga nauna niyang reaksyon tuwing hinahalikan siya ni Lucien. Pero hindi, sa pagkakataon na 'yon hindi niya naramdaman ang mga 'yon. Bagkos ay gusto niyang maramdaman ang binata. Gusto niyang tumugon.Kaya ginawa niya. Niyakap niya ang mga kamay sa leeg ng binata at hinila ang katawan nito papalapit. Looks like he took her actions as a consent to deepen the kiss. He coaxed her lips apart to let his tongue enter her mouth. She gave him an access. He squeezed her waist making her whole body shivers in excitement. She moaned.Hinigpitan niya ang kapit sa leeg ng binata dahil feeling niya mapapaluhod siya sa sahig dahil sa nanghihina niyang mga tuhod.Hinigpitan din ng binata ang kapit sa beywang niya habang eksperto siya nitong hinahalikan. He kissed her with so much passion and mastery making her breathless. He seems to notice she was out of breath so he let her lips go for a moment. They briefly stared at each other, then his gaze fell ov

"It just appeared by itself." Lucien said. Misha sighed in relief. Salamat naman at hindi tarantado ang sagot nito.Nagpatuloy ang binata. "I think there is some kind of safe or vault behind this security. Looks like this wall is no ordinary wall.""What should we do about this?" tanong niya sa dalawa.Nakatitig sa screen na sumagot si Eveline. "Obviously, we can't open this since you don't remember. Knowing you, this security was done meticulously. We can't just enter some random password or this will be forced to lock.""Why don't we try first? Usually, 'di ba 'pag ganyan may ilang try pa bago mag-locked ng tuluyan."Sandaling natahimik ang dalawa bago tumango si Eveline. "Okay, let's try it.""You know Z— me the most so you can try it first," sabi niya na muntik pang madulas. Siya pa ata papahamak sa sarili niya. She peeked at Lucien and fortunately, he didn't notice anything.Nagkatinginan sila ni Eveline. Napabuntong-hininga ito at lumapit sa screen. "Alright, here goes nothing."
Something Borrowed Chapter 27
The following days, Lucien continued to be distant. Tinuturuan pa rin naman siya nito professionally. Yes, he trained her like a professional. Hindi niya alam kung matutuwa ba siya o maiinis pero hinayaan niya lang ito sa kung anong gusto nito. At least, kahit galit hindi pa rin siya nito pinapabayaan. Nagti-training pa rin sila sa basement pero hindi na madalas dahil mas marami ang oras nila sa shooting range. Iba't-ibang klase ng baril din kasi ang tinuturo sa kanya. Before she knows it, it's been a week since Grumpy Lucien comes to life.Two days ago, they had an argument. No, more like she tried to talk to him and he got angry.She just asked him: "When are you going to stop being mad?"Then he replied nonchalantly. "I'm not mad.""You are mad, can we talk about this?" She told him patiently.He was silent for a few seconds before answering. "If I'm the spy, what are you going to do about it?"She was a little surprised. "Lucien, we know you are not. We trust you. I trust you."
Something Borrowed Chapter 28
Pagkatapos niyang umiyak, napahugot siya ng malalim na hininga. Kinuha niya ang journal at iniwan ang mga files sa vault saka sinarado iyon. May nakita siyang isang button at mukhang iyon ang switch para bumalik sa normal ang dingding.Pinindot niya iyon at bumalik nga sa dati ang semento at lumabas ulit ang screen. Tinago niya ang journal saka lumabas ng kwarto. Pumunta siya sa kusina para uminom ng tubig. Madilim ang kusina pero hindi niya binuksan ang ilaw. May bagong set ng contact lenses na binigay sa kanya si Eveline. May night vision iyon at safe kahit hindi niya tanggalin kapag natutulog. Nung una tinatanggal niya kapag natutulog siya pero sinasanay na niya ang sarili at minsan nakakalimutan na din niyang tanggalin. Pagkainom niya, hinayaan niya lang na nakabukas ang ref.Umiinom siya sa baso at tumalikod sa ref nang makita niyang may taong nakatayo sa doorway ng kusina."Holy shxt!" Nagulat siya at napaatras. Bumangga ang likod niya sa pinto ng ref at sa taranta nabitawan

Nang mapatumba nila ang lahat ng kalaban, nakahinga ng maluwag si Misha. Napaupo siya sa sahig at napatingin kay Lucien. He was walking towards her. He kneeled on one knee beside her and checked her wound. At pagkatapos ay tinignan siya nito sa mga mata. She just stared back at him. "C'mon. Let's get you treated," sabi nito na tumayo at tinulungan siyang makatayo. Dinala siya ni Lucien sa kusina at saka pinaupo sa silya. Binuksan nito ang ilaw at naghanap ng medicine kit. Ilang sandali pa ay bumalik ito sa tabi niya. Hinila nito ang isang upuan palapit sa gilid niya at sinimulang linisin ang sugat niya. She flinched when the cotton swab with medicine touch her wound. Napatingin sa kanya si Lucien."Stay still," he said in clear plain voice. Tahimik na tumango siya saka hinayaan itong magpatuloy.Bumalik ang tingin nito sa sugat niya at sinimulan ulit na linisin 'yon. Nakagat niya ang ibabang labi niya at pinigilan ang sarili na magreklamo. Siguro kung okay sila, kanina niya pa
Something Borrowed Chapter 30
Hindi talaga nagpapigil si Eveline. Umalis sila kahit na hindi pa pumuputok ang araw. Inaantok pa naman siya tapos medyo kumikirot din ang sugat niya. Napabuntong-hininga siya saka inisip ang mga nangyari. Pumasok sa isip niya na nakapatay siya. Nagulat siya sa sarili dahil hindi siya masyadong naapektuhan. Walang takot, walang pagkadismaya sa sarili at lalong walang pagsisisi. Nagiging masamang tao na ba siya?Sarkastikong napatawa siya. Oo, masamang tao na siya. Walang mabuting tao ang hindi makokonsensiya kapag nakapatay.Bumaba ang tingin niya sa mga kamay. Her hands. They looked clean. Will she end many lives in her hands in the future?Naalala niya na minsan nang sinabi sa kanya ni Eveline na killing is unavoidable. In the world where they live, she have to choose between to kill or to be killed.And because she wanted to live, the only option she has is to kill in order to live. She needs to be strong. Strong enough to keep on living.Pinasok na niya ang magulong mundo. Wala
