"Timothee, you're drunk," I whispered softly.

"I am not drunk," he smiled.

"Yes you are," iling ko. "Come on. I'll take you to your room."

I was going to push him but he held me on both of my shoulders and pinned me against the wall. He leaned his arm on the wall just above my head.

"Let's stay here," he said.

Inilapit niya 'yung mukha niya sa akin. Sobrang bilis nang tibok ng puso ko and I know that I am as red as a tomato right now.

"Anong gagawin natin dito?" I asked.

"Hmm," he hummed. "To continue what we left off?"

Napakurap ako. Magsasalita pa sana ako pero bigla nalang niya akong hinalikan sa ilong. My breathing became heavy as I am lost for words.

"Lower?" He asked.

I blinked twice and met his eyes. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang meron sa akin ngayon. Damn, I'm not hating it!

"Ava," tawag niya sa pangalan ko.

"H-Ha?"

"You want me to go lower?" He smirked. "Tell me, baby."

I bit my lower lip. The urge of kissing him grew stronger and stronger. I stared at his perfectly plump lip

    Making Timothee's breakfast while he's watching me is so uncomfortable. Kanina ko pa nararamdaman 'yung titig niya and it's making me feel conscious of what I am doing.I prepared breakfast the moment I woke up. Gising na din si Manang pati 'yung chef ng mansyon. Since sanay naman 'yung chef magluto ng pagkain kapag nandito ang tatlo, pinabayaan nalang namin siya ni Manang. Nag-a-assist nalang kami sa kanya.It didn't took long so I had a shower first before taking Pixie out. Pagbalik ko ng mansyon ay dumiretso ako sa kusina para uminom ng tubig. Pero nakuha ng atensyon ko ang pancake ingredients na nasa pantry. Sayang naman ito kapag hindi lutuin. I thought na baka nauumay na si Timothee kakakain ng pagkain na kinakain niya araw-araw so how about pancakes for today?Sinimulan ko na 'yung paggawa ng batter when I heard footsteps from the stairs. Ilang minuto lang ay nasa harap ko na si Timothee. I blinked twice, not knowing what to do."G-Good morning, Tim," I stuttered.I never stutt

    "Where have you been?" Tanong ni Timothee nang buksan ko 'yung pinto ng silid niya."Doing my chores?" Patanong kong sagot. "Inutusan din ako ni Manang na ibalik 'yung hiniram niya sa kapit-bahay kahapon. Bakit po?"He squinted his eyes and sat at the edge of his bed. "Close the door."Kumunot 'yung noo ko pero sinunod ko pa rin 'yung gusto niya. I closed the door and then faced him."May kailangan po kayo?" I asked.Hindi siya sumagot, sa halip, itinaas niya 'yung mga kamay na para bang humihingi ng yakap. Kumunot 'yung noo when he started frowning."Sir?" I asked."Sabi ko na huwag mo na akong tawaging 'sir'. Pang-ilang beses na ba 'yan?" Nguso niya."Tim," iling ko. "Ano 'yan?""I want a cuddle," he said.I chuckled. "Ano?""Cuddle," mas lalo pa siyang ngumuso. "I woke up without you by my side. Pinakaba mo ako."Napailing ako. "Why would you be scared?""Girls never left my side when I sleep with them," he replied.Bumaba ang magkabila kong balikat. "So you think I'm one of those

    "Okay! Let's take a five minutes break!" Anunsyo nung photographer.Pagod akong tumayo mula sa kinauupuan at kinuha 'yung isang bote ng tubig para kay Timothee. Ang sabi ay meeting lang. Hindi ko alam na shoot pala agad agad kaya pinabalik ulit ako sa mansyon para kunin 'yung kagamitan ni Timothee. Both Kento and Timothee refuses to but I insisted kasi trabaho ko naman. I even went back in forth to the mall para bumili ng mga kulang. Wala kasi sa sched kaya hindi kami nakapaghanda."Sir-- Tim," abot ko sa tubig.He smiled at me. "Thanks, Ava."Tumango lang ako sa kanya. Mula sa kanyang likuran ay nakita kong papalapit si Kento. "Ava, tubig?" Kento offered me his bottle of water. "You've been running around kaya siguradong napagod ka."Napangiti ako sa kanya. "Thanks."Akma ko na sanang abutin 'yung bote pero hinarang ni Timothee 'yung bote na inabot ko sa kanya. Kumunot 'yung noo ko at napaangat ng tingin sa kanya."Take my bottle, instead," he said."But Tim, para sa'yo 'yan," I sa

    "Yung lalaki na sinabi ni Rosie? The gardener? What's his name again? Was it Mark?" I asked myself. "Yup. Definitely. I think it was Mark.""And you remembered his name?!" Galit niyang tanong.Kumunot 'yung noo ko. "Yeah. I mean, ano naman ang issue non? He introduced himself and I did as well. Anong masama doon?""You're not suppose to entertain other men!" Sigaw niya."Why not?""Kasi dapat ako lang!""Ikaw lang ano?""Ako lang 'yung lalaki sa buhay mo!" He shouted. I was taken aback. Ano daw? Gusto niyang siya lang ang lalaki sa buhay ko? That's impossible! I will always have my Dad in my life.Putting that aside, I know na ang ibig niya lang sabihin ay dapat siya lang 'yung ini-entertain ko. I think it's safe to say that he's jealous?"You should never talk to any other man. Not even Kento. Ako lang dapat. Fvck! I hate it when you laughed with him!" He said."Nagseselos ka ba?" I asked.Tiningnan niya ako na nakakunot ang noo. "Fvck! Is this how jealousy feels like?"I nodded. "S

    "Ava," Timothee called my name."Hmm?" I hummed.Both of us are cuddling each other, naked in one bed. Alam ko na tinawag na ako ni Manang at kanina pa pero hindi pa rin ako lumabas. Timothee said that he will take care of it and so I trusted him.We did it again. We once again touched each other, only this time, he was not drunk nor was I. Nasa tamang katinuan kaming dalawa at hindi ako makapaniwalang nangyari ulit. I'm not regretting any of it. In fact, I feel like I'm the happiest girl alive! I have this big smile on my face."I'm sorry," he said.Kumunot 'yung noo ko at tumingala sa kanya. "Why are you sorry?""I touched you without your permission," sabi niya.Napailing nalang ako. "You don't have to be sorry. At anong without my permission? I totally gave you my permission.""You did?" I nodded. "If I didn't, bakit hindi pa kita tinulak?"Napangiti siya at niyakap ako nang mahigpit. "Thank God! I thought you'll be mad of me."I giggled. Being in one bed with Timothee is not bad

    "Take a rest for today," Timothee said."Huh?""You should take a day off. Alam kong napagod ka din kahapon."Those were the last words I heard from Timothee before leaving the mansion. May something talaga sa kanya. The way he treats me, it's different. Naguguluhan ako kung may nagawa ba ako na hindi niya nagustuhan. But everytime he talks to me, he still wears the same smile. Yung genuine pero bakit ang hirap niyang lapitan. He's so near yet so far.I sighed as I rested my head on my table. He should've told me what I did para naman malaman ko. Nasa sariling office ako ngayon. The boutique that I own is still operating kahit wala ako dito. The manager manages everything while I was gone. So far mabenta pa rin naman kahit wala ako. We have strategies din kasi para hindi kami mauungusan ng rivals namin. "Miss Lee? May naghahanap po sa inyo." Rinig kong sabi ng manager.Inangat ko ang aking ulo at kunot-noong tiningnan siya. "May naghahanap sa akin? Sino daw?" I asked.Hindi naman

    Madaling araw akong nakabalik sa mansyon. Okay lang naman sana na mamayang hapon pa ako babalik pero nasanay na din kasi na tulungan si Manang Abby sa pagluto. Isa pa, wala naman akong gagawin sa bahay. Baka mabaliw lang ako kakausap kay Pixie. Kulang na lang tatahol na din ako."Ako na po d'yan Manang," sabi ko kay Manang na naghihiwa ng karne."Salamat, hija. May kukunin pa kasi ako sa likuran," sabi niya."Walang anuman po," ngiti ko."Babalik ako agad."Tumango lang ako sa kaya at hiniwa 'yung karne. Araw-araw ko na itong ginagawa kaya hindi na ito bago sa akin.Hindi mawala sa isip ko 'yung nangyari kahapon. Naguguluhan pa rin ako sa aking nararamdaman. My heart flattered by his plans for us. Gusto niyang maikasal kami kaya ganun nalang 'yung saya na nararamdaman ko sa puso ko. But at the same time, I feel so guilty. I kept on deceiving him and I don't think that I deserve all the love. Hindi ko alam kung saan sisimulan. Paano ko sasabihin sa kanya na ako pala 'yung fiancée niya

    I stared at my own reflection in front of the mirror. That curve on my lips, my glowing eyes and that happy vibe. Ni minsan hindi ko maisip na makikita ko ang sarili na ganito kung makangiti. It's been awhile and I forgot how good it felt. Para akong lumilipad sa mga ulap. Hindi mawala-wala 'yung ngiti sa aking mga labi.My cheeks started burning as I remembered how Timothee pulled me closer and kissed me under the rain. I finally told him how I feel. Hindi ko akalain na ganito pala kasarap sa feeling. Kung alam ko lang edi noon pa ako nag-confess.Kinuha ko 'yung bathrobe sa gilid at tinakpan ang hubad kong katawan. We were both wet from the rain and decided to stay in a hotel that is not yet opened. Buti nalang may connections si Timothee. Tinawagan niya lang 'yung kaibigan niya and now we got a room for ourselves. Kaya lang isang queen-sized bed lang 'yung available. For some reason, 'yun lang talaga ang bakante. Well it's fine naman. I can always sleep on the couch. Malaki naman d

    Timothee and I stayed inside their hotel room. Hindi pa kasi bumalik si Kento and Timothee insisted for me to stay. I couldn't say no matapos niyang sabihin na magc-cuddle kami. It's something that I need right now. Nakayakap ako sa kanya habang siya naman ay nilalaro ang buhok ko habang nakahiga. "Ava," he called."Yes?""I've been meaning to tell you something," sabi niya.Kumunot 'yung noo ko at nilingon siya. "Ano 'yun?""Ano kasi. I don't want to keep secrets from you and I am getting more guilty as time goes by," he said.Nagsimula na akong kabahan. Is it something that would upset me? Kaya ko bang magalit kay Timothee? He's the only person I have left and when I feel betrayed by him, kanina nalang ako tatakbo? Sino ang natira para sa akin?"Say it."He sighed. "I'm sorry but I've been in contact with your parents."Napakurap ako. "Since when?""Since yesterday," kamot niya sa ulo. "They know where we are. Alam nila na sa akin ka lalapit. Your Dad knows kasi na nililigawan kita

    Lumapit ako sa kanya at ganun pa rin 'yung tingin niya sa akin. I decided to get a lipstick that would look natural on his lips. I took a brush para sana lagyan siya ng lipstick sa labi pero umiwas siya.I sighed. "Timothee...""Anong pinag-uusapan niyo ni Kento? Did your little crush on him came back now that you see him after a long time?" Tanong niya.Hindi nga ako nagkakamali. Nagseselos nga siya. I saw it coming."Hindi," iling ko. "I was apologizing for fooling him as well.""Bakit siya nakangiti sa'yo?""Turns out alam na niyang nagpapanggap lang ako noon pa," iling ko. "Now I understand why he's always been so understanding to me before.""Psh. Mas understanding pa ako," he whispered but I heard him anyway.I smiled. "So, can I put on your lipstick now?"Umiling siya. "Doon ka sa Kento mo.""Timothee naman. Let's not fight, okay? Maraming naghihintay sa'yo," I said.Hindi siya sumagot. His face is facing on the other side as if ignoring everything that I just said. Alam ko nam

    "Ava," I heard someone calling my name softly.Hindi ko pinansin ang boses na 'yun. I am sleeping comfortably in a soft bed. Dala siguro sa pagod kaya ako nakatulog agad. I remember after dinner, I felt so sleepy that I instantly fell asleep the moment I closed my eyes.After kong pinakilala kay Rosie and sarili ko, in a harsh way, Tito Vincent told us to eat instead of roasting each other. Of course nag-sorry naman ako agad. Ang bastos kaya nun sa harap ni Tito Vincent. Hindi na siguro kami magkakabati ni Rosie. Hindi naman din akong umasa na magustuhan niya ako. Well, kung ano 'yung ipapakita niya sa akin edi yun din ang ipapakita ko sa kanya."Ava," I heard it again.I groaned and turn to the side, away from the voice. Ayoko munang bumangon. Nagulat nalang ako nang may malambot na bagay na dumampi sa labi ko. Iminulat ko ang aking mga mata at doon ko nakita si Timothee na nakangisi."Halik lang pala ang makakagising sa iyo," he said.Nanlaki ang aking mga mata at napaatras habang

    "Paano ko malalaman kung nagsasabi ka nga ng totoo? Nakita ko kung paano umiyak si Timothee. Hindi ko akalaing makikita ko siya nang ganun," Manang said as tears started forming in her eyes. "Kung pwede ko lang akuin ang sakit na nararamdaman niya ay ginawa ko na.""I'm sorry," yuko ko.Hindi ko na alam kung ano 'yung sasabihin. Saying sorry was what I think is the best thing to say. "Bakit ka sa akin nagso-sorry?"Huminga ako nang malalim. "Kasi alam kong nasaktan ka din na makitang ganun si Timothee." I paused. "Timothee and I settled our differences. Okay na po kami ngayon. We promised to be honest from now on at hindi ko na po siya sasaktan."She sighed. "Nakita ko kung gaano kalaki ang mga ngiti niya kamakailan. Siguro dahil din sa'yo," she said, looking at me. "Kapag narinig kong sinaksaktan mo ulit siya, huwag kang magpapakita sa akin. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang magagawa ko sa'yo."Bahagya akong yumuko. "Hinding-hindi na po 'yun mangyayari."She stared at me one last time befo

    "Okay lang talaga?" I asked Timothee as I parked my car in front of their mansion.Sinabi ko sa kanya na hindi ko alam kung paano haharapin sina Mommy. After everything I knew, hindi ko na alam kung paano sila tratuhin. I'm scared of avoiding them kasi ayaw ko din silang saktan. Timothee told me that I can stay in their house. I was hesitant syempre. How can I come back in that house matapos ko siyang lokohin sa ilang buwan kong pananatili doon. It would remind me of everything I've done."Ava, I thought that we left the past behind us?" He faced me."I'm sorry. I still feel ashamed of what I did.""Stop it," seryosong sabi niya. "Let's not talk about it, okay? Tapos na 'yun Ava. I forgave you already."I nodded. "Okay."Pumasok na kami ni Timothee sa loob ng mansyon at halos walang pinagbago. Nandun pa rin 'yung mga bulaklak na minsan kong dinidiligan araw-araw. The front lawn is still as wide as ever. I bit my lower lip as we get closer to the entrance. Nakakakaba. Alam ko naman na

    I stood there, frozen, not knowing what to do. Timothee was stunned as I am."Sige 'yan!" Sigaw nung photographer. "Kiss her Timothee!"I bit my lower lip as tears continued crawling down my cheeks. Nanghihina na ang mga tuhod ko. Timothee immediately pulled himself off."What are you doing?!" He asked his partner."What? 'Yun ang gusto nila. Isn't it our job to do what the client wants," sagot nung babae."Timothee ano ba?!" Sigaw nung photographer. "We almost got the shot. What is wrong with you?!" He paused and faced the woman behind me which I assumed as the client. "I'm really sorry about that. I will make sure that we give you the shot that you want.""You better. Ano bang nangyari kay Chandler?" Tanong nung babae. "It's your job to model."Binalik ko ang tingin ko kay Timothee and as if on cue, our eyes met. Nanlaki ang kanyang mata and all I could do was to smile forcefully with tears in my eyes."Ava," he mouthed.Umiling ako at tumalikod. I walked away kasi alam kong Timothe

    "I have a shoot today."'Yan ang huli kong narinig mula kay Timothee. Pagkagising ko pa lang ay siya na agad ang hinahanap ko. The reason? Hindi ko din alam. I called him the moment I woke up. Ilang rings pa bago niya sinagot 'yung phone. Base sa boses niya ay parang nagmamadali. He said may shoot siya ngayon. I sometimes forget that he's a model.Napag-isipan ko na surpresahin siya. Alam ko naman kung saan sa kadalasang nagsho-shoot kaya hindi na ako mababaliw kakahanap sa kanya. Agad akong bumangon at dumiretso sa banyo. I took a bath and then brush my teeth. Matapos kong magbihis ay dumiretso ako sa baba kung saan naabutan ko sina Mommy at Daddy na nag-uusap sa kusina. Kumunot 'yung noo ko. Bakit silang dalawa lang? Natutulog pa kaya sina Tito Diego.Out of curiosity, sumilip ako at pinakinggan ang kanilang pinag-usapan. It was suspiscious enough that they are talking privately."I'm sorry about what happened last night, Adam. Nadulas ako. Excited lang ako na makita si Timothee.

    I bit my lip as I dialed Timothee's number. Alam kong magugulat siya o maguguluhan kapag sinabi kong dito nalang siya maghapunan. Hindi naman nagtagal ay sinagot na ni Timothee yung tawag."What took you so long to call me?" Bungad niya.Kahit hindi ko siya nakikita ngayon alam kong nakanguso siya."Unexpected things happen," I smiled kahit hindi naman niya kita."Nakausap mo na Daddy mo?" Tanong niya. "Is everything okay?"Umiling ako. "Hindi. Hindi ko nakausap si Daddy." I paused. "Ano, Timothee. Kumain ka na ba?""Hindi pa ako kumain. Bababa na sana para kumain," he chuckled. "Concern ka sa akin no?""Sira!" I giggled. "I'm inviting you kase. Dito ka na kumain."There was a long pause. Paniguradong naguguluhan siya sa biglaan kong pagkasabi. If he'd ask me the same, panigurdong maguguluhan din ako."What's the occassion?" Tanong niya.I sighed. "Gusto kang makilala nina Mommy. Dad told them that I had a date with you kaya ganun nalang sila ka-curious sa'yo."I'm gonna meet your fam
