Caroline Elora
So, kakauwi ko lang sa bahay at feeling ko lumilipad pa din ako. Nakatayo ako ngayon kasama sina Dumb and Dumber sa sala namin habang sinesermonan ni daddy.
"How many times have I told you not to dodge your security detail Caroline?" Oh boy, he's really mad now. He's calling me by my grandmother's name.
"I'm sorry Daddy. I just wanted to drive alone. Gusto ko kasing kuhanan yung carnival sa shipyard." I tried to sound cute while my mind was still remembering how it felt so good being wrapped inside Cloud's big muscly arms.
Haaaayyyyy he's so dreamy.
Ang saya ko ngayon promise.
"Pero hija, alam mo naman na kailangan kasama mo sila palagi.Given your father's business, it is imperative that you have security details. We can't afford to lose you again. Baka mabaliw na kami ng daddy mo pag nangyari ulit yun." My mommy said, her voice worried and concerned.
Hindi ko naman siya masisisi. May ari si dad ng isang arms at tech dealing company na nag susupply sa gobyerno.
Hindi ko masyadong maalala yung nangyari dati, pero nung limang taon pa lang ako, nakidnap ako at na detain ng 24 hours at kinailangan ni daddy na magbayad ng 10 million or something. Kinailangan nila akong ipa undergo ng therapy dahil kinulong ako noon sa isang makipot na silid at walang ilaw. At ng ma rescue ako, I used to freak out pag may crowded areas at madilim na lugar.
But come to think of it, I did not freak out when I was at the party.
Probably because I was inebriated? Probably.
O baka naman dahil yun lang talaga ang initial reaction pag nakidnap at OA lang sina dad sa pag papatheraphy sakin.
Naguilty tuloy ako ngayon dahil nakita ko ang pag aalala sa mga mata ni mom.
"I'm sorry.." I bow my head down and waited for them to ground me or banish me into an island.
Minsan lang magalit si daddy sakin, at alam kong kahit anong galit niya pa, i kikiss niya pa din ako sa ulo pagkatapos.
"Cara, I know you're a teenager now, you want your freedom I get it, when you told me you didn't want Fred and Rico walking beside you and following you around school, I had them act discreetly. Kaso sana naman kahit ito na lang wag mo na silang takasan. Ayokong pinag aalala mo kami ng mommy mo."
Ahhh.. so they do have a name, Fred and Rico.
Noted.
Daddy pulled me towards him and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. O diba, he loves me too much to banish me to an island.
"I just want you to be safe at all times. You scared all of us. Please don't do that again, okay baby girl?" He kissed my forehead and hugged me tightly.
I love my daddy so much.
"Okay daddy. I'm so sorry.I didn't mean to scare you."I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek then pulled my mom for a group hug. "I'm so so sorry mommy. I love you guys so much. Sorry ulit at pinag alala ko po kayo. Hindi na po mauulit."
"Alright, let's not make Rico and Fred think that I'm too soft.." Daddy chuckled and patted my back. "Mabuti pa magbihis ka na anak, nagluto ang mommy ng adobo sa asin."
"But you are a softy Daddy!" I giggled and heard him groan. "Sige po magbibihis muna ako. I am so hungry! I miss your adobo mommy." Pakanta kanta pa akong umakyat sa hagdan, leaving them to discuss how to prevent me from escaping Dumb and--er Fred and Rico again.

Simon Cloud
Kanina pa ako gising mula alas 3 ng madaling araw dahil sobrang excited na akong makita si Cara.
My girl.
Shit, I am so whipped by the chick with the horn rimmed glasses and I couldn't care less.
Natanaw ko na ang kotse niyang papasok sa parking lot ng Andrade Prep.
Nakaramdam ako ng pagka concious kaya tininganan ko ang sarili ko sa side mirror ng kotse ko.
Teeth, all clean. Check.
Hair-- s**t I sound like a chick but I'm pretty sure my buzz cut will do it.
Nag shave din ako ng bigote kaninang umaga.
I also checked if my breath smells okay because I've been dying to kiss her ever since parting with her yesterday at the pier. Nagsipilyo pa naman ako ng dalawang beses just to make sure mabango ang bibig ko.
I patted my button down shirt, took out the lilacs I picked out from my mom's garden and proceeded walking towards her car.
Nasa loob pa si Cara ng kotse niya ng kumatok ako sa bintana nito.
"Hi beautiful." I greeted when she rolled her window down.
"Hey handsome! Wait lang po ayusin ko lang ang gamit ko." She smiled up at me and my heart churned.
Damn.
"Take your time sweetie." Yumuko ako sa window frame niya at iniabot dito ang mga bulaklak. "These are for you." She adjusted her glasses and her cheeks blushed.
"Thank you." She whispered then reluctantly held my cheek and pulled herself up to kiss me.
So f*****g sweet.
Kinagat ko ang labi ko para pigilan ang--tang ina--kilig.
"No, thank you..that kiss just made my day." I am so f*****g happy.
Pinag buksan ko siya ng pinto at inalalayan lumabas.
She's wearing a black v-neck shirt that fits her perfectly and my eyes narrowed in on her cleavage.
Hell no.
"Saan yung jacket mo?"Naiirita kong tanong.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." She replied ignoring my scowl.
Kinuha ko yung bag niya at hinintay itong i zipper yung hoodie niya.
Now I can breathe easily.
"May problema ba?" She noticed my sudden relief.
"Wala po, just always wear the hoodie please?" I muttered. She's just wearing a shirt what more if she's wearing something like that sexy dress last friday night?
NO.
Fuuck. I'm going to be a war freak just seeing guys ogling her.
"Lagi naman talaga akong naka hoodie." She replied matter of factly.
"Alam ko po. Tara na." Kinuha ko yung malambot niyang kamay at naglakad na kami papuntang bleachers.
Hindi ko mapigilan ang mga ngiti ko habang naglalakad kami dahil finally, I am holding my girl's hand.
"So is this where you take all of your girls to?" Tanong niya sakin pagka upo na pag kaupo pa lang namin. Sobrang aga pa, sa tingin ko nga kami palang dalawa ang andito sa school na estudyante.
Tinawagan ko siya kagabi at napag desisyunan namin na magkita ng maaga dito sa school to make out--just kidding. Kinumbinsi ko siyang agahan ang pagpasok dahil sobrang miss ko na siya, at meron pa kaming maagang basketball practice buong araw kaya baka hindi kami magkasama mag lunch o kaya mag snack.
Para nga akong timang eh, I can't place a word to it, pero miss na miss ko talaga siya.
Oh f**k, ni hindi ko nga alam kung paano mag karoon ng girlfriend.
"What girls?" Ahh--si Czarina.
Malaking pag kakamali ko.
Kinabig ko siya palapit sakin at hinalikan sa sintido. "Kung ano man yung nangyari o nakita mo last week, isa yung malaking pagkakamali ko. You are the only girl for me now." I kissed the top of her head and felt her relaxed.
"Good to know." She looked up then smiled at me.
Oh s**t, she's breathtaking.
"Oh, nagdala ako ng almusal natin." Nagliwanag ang mukha niya at may kinuha sa bag nito."I couldn't sleep last night, so I made some kimbap, there's also mom's homemade potato salad and lastly, bacon." I swear this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. "I didn't know what you wanted but I figured the last one's a winner. Wala namang nakakatanggi sa bacon" Kumuha ito ng isa at itinapat ito sa bibig ko.
I gladly ate the bacon from her hand and smiled.
"Hindi mo naman ito kailangan gawin, but thank you sweetie." I leaned down and gave her a smack on the lips which probably caught her off guard, her cheeks blushed.
Habang kumakain, napagusapan namin ang graduation,basketball at kung ano anong bagay. Cara never fails to amaze me, I learned that she plays the violin and that she played the carrot in a musical nung elementary kami-all she did was placed her hands on her hips and swayed like the other vegetables.
I might have let it slipped that I had a crush on her ever since I was in fourth grade and nasabi kong akala ko ang taray niya dati, dahil si Marj sobrang taray sakin. I have always been intimidated by her. She always seemed guarded and I wondered why I never pursued her before.
Sayang nga, dapat noon ko pa siya kinausap.
"Uhhm, Cloud?" It was almost a whisper. She adjusted her glasses.
"Yes sweetie?" I tilted her chin to face me, her eyes are nervous, and she bit her lip.
Ang ganda niya talaga.
"Okay lang ba na satin muna itong kung ano man ang meron tayo? Hindi ko pa kasi nasasabi kay Marj. Alam mo naman yun overprotective sakin. Ayoko lang mag freak out siya." Nag pout pa ito, at wala na, kahit ano yata sabihin niya tatango na lang ako.
I'm a goner.
"Okay po, but after graduation, no more hiding okay?" I agreed, which reminds me that I have to talk to my father soon.
Naunahan lang ako ni Cara, balak ko din sana i suggest na discreet muna kami kahit gustong gusto ko ng ipagmayabang sa buong school na boyfriend niya ako. Gusto ko kasi magkausap muna kami ni papa.
"Thank you." She pulled my head down and kissed me tenderly. I didn't realize that my eyes were closed until she broke the kiss.
Holy s**t.
"How in the hell could you kiss like that?" Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ako o magagalit dahil ang galing niyang humalik.
Tang ina, kung sino man ang lalakeng yun gusto ko siyang bigwasan ngayon.
"What?"Sumimagot ito, pero ang ganda pa rin niya. "Was it that bad?"She adjusted her glasses and looked down at the bleachers.
"Hell no. It felt f*****g amazing!"I muttered and she looked at me beaming, her cheeks blushed against her glasses and it was the most beautiful sight of her so far. "Wait, I hate to ask this, Pero ilan na ba ang naging boyfriend mo?" I know it was a question for p*****s but I needed to know.
Cara's expression shifted to panic.
Shit.
"Do you really want to know?" She asked, guilt in her tone.
Parang pinagsisihan kona tuloy ang pagtanong sakanya, just imagining some guy's mouth on her makes me sick to my stomach.
Pero gusto ko pa din malaman.
"Yes." I replied.
Cara adjusted her glasses and sighed.
Drum rolls started in my head and I'm anxious as f**k.
"I've dated.." Ramdam kong parang sasabog na ang mga ugat ko sa ulo.
"Who the f**k is he?"
"Zero guys."
We both said at the same time and I shook my head.
"Wait, what?" I was fisting my hands when what she said finally sank in.
"Ikaw ang first kiss ko..well, technically si Marj. Nagpractice kami bago niya sinagot si Sebastian." Nahihiya pa nitong sagot.
"Thank f*****g Marj!" Napasigaw pa ako sa saya. Hinawakan ko ang magkabila niyang pisngi at hinalik halikan ang matatamis niyang labi. "I'm so sorry sweetie." I whispered in between kisses. "I didn't mean to act like an ass.." I rest my head on hers breathless. "Ayoko lang yung mga naiimagine ko na may ibang humahalik sayo. Pero sandali, akala ko ba si Evan yung boyfriend mo?"
Narinig ko ang mahina niyang pagtawa.
"You're quite possessive..saka hindi mo ba alam na bakla si Evan? May boyfriend yun, Codie ang pangalan." Kinurot niya pa ang ilong ko at tumawa ng mahina.
Tang ina, kaya pala dikit ng dikit sakin yung Evan na yun dati.
"Good to know, pero he kissed you!" I scowled. "I am not possessive, but when it comes to you I am..I will be." I couldn't help but kiss her again. "So, ikwento mo yung ginawa niyo ni Marj.." I smiled against her lips.
"What about it?" She adjusted her glasses pouting.
"Were you both in your underwear whenever you practiced kissing? Do you have naked pillow fights?" I asked my eyebrows moving up and down.
"Oh my God, bastos ka!" Sinuntok ako nito sa braso, kaya tumawa na lang ako.
"Alright, you can spare the details, but please tell me that you're at least taking bubble baths together." I clasped both my hands hoping.
"Of course we do!" She blurted out, too late to stop my imagination.
Holy s**t, she'd look hot with only bubbles around her.
Wow, as in wow. Sana makita ko siya ng ganoon sa totoong buhay.
"Oh my God, I'm gonna be late for my first period." Napasinghap ito ng tingnan yung orasan sa cellphone niya.
Dali dali niyang sinaraduhan yung baunan, na agad ko namang kinuha sakanya.
"I believe these are mine. Pagyayabang ko to mamaya sa gym." I smiled proudly, taking a mental note of showing the guys on the team later the food that my girl prepared for me.
"Oh, okay then." She adjusted her glasses and I zipped up her hoodie when I noticed her cleavage is showing, tempting me to snuggle my face on them for all eternity.
"What's your first period anyway?" I cleared my throat shaking off the thought.
"PE class." She replied nonchalantly.
Oh, f**k me.
--------
Mabilis kong sinuot ang jersey shirt at shorts ko habang iniisip si Cara na nasa PE class ngayon.
"Hey Cole," I called out.
"Yeah man?" Kakarating lang nito at naglalagay ng duffle bag niya sa locker nito.
"Yung sabi mong pwede maging point guard, pwede mo bang dalhin ako sakanya ngayon?" Nag mental high five ako sa sarili ko dahil sa naisip kong idea, alam ko kasing nasa PE class din yun ngayon sa gym, dahil usually kasabay ng seniors and sophomores mag PE.
Kaya mapupuntahan ko si Cara ng walang nakakahalata.
"Dude, as in now?" He quirked his eyebrows.
"Yup, talked to Sebastian last week. Ako na mismo ang mag iimbita sakanya ngayon para sabayan niya tayo mamaya mag practice. Para na din makilala niya na yung buong team. Gusto ko din makita kung paano siya maglaro kasama ang lahat, hindi katulad pag try out lang. Gusto ko ma gauge ang teamwork niya." Again, self high five for being a genius.
"Cool, but let's linger for a bit, he's like in PE class today. At alam mo naman ang ibig sabihin ng PE Class siba?" Binigyan pa ako nito ng nakakalokong tingin.
"Yup." I replied following him outside the locker room.
Agad kong ipinalibot ang mata ko sa paligid para hagilapin si Cara.
I damn well know why Cole wanted to linger, because I have done it too. This is probably the only class the girls could were skimpy gym shorts and tight shirts. At aminado akong sinasadya talaga naming manood sa PE class para maka kita ng legs.
DATI 'YON.
My sight narrowed in on Cara, na kausap ngayon si Marj at Victoria. Gusto ko sana siyang ihatid sa gym kanina, kaso baka talaga sugurin ako ni Marj, or worse ipabugbog ako ni Marj kay Sebastian.
Na alam kong susundin naman ng bestfriend kong iyon, he's so whipped and so much inlove with Marj.
Saksi kasi siya sa pag entertain ko ng mga babae, kahit sa parties, dahil nga gago ako.
DATI 'YON.
Gusto ko tanggapin muna ako ni Marj para sa bestfriend niya. I need her f*****g approval dahil alam ko kung gaano kahalaga kay Cara ng bestfriend niya, at for the first time gusto kong baguhin ang tingin sakin ng iba..kahit man lang ang tingin sakin ni Marj.
"Dude, it's her Royal Hotness.." Cole said, I looked at his eyes which are practically undressing Cara. Tang ina gusto kong dukutin ang mata niya. "Take it off!Take it off!"He cheered. "Dude!Hinuhubad niya na yung hoodie!" He drooled.
I c****d my head on Cara's direction and saw that she really was taking the hoodie off.
Tang ina!
"f*****g stop looking at her." Naiirita kong utos kay Cole. Hinarap ko pa nga ito at hinarangan.
"What the f**k man? Is she your girlfriend?" He crossed his arms looking at me baffled. Normal na kasi sakin ang makisabay lang pag namboboso siya ng legs, pero hindi na ngayon.
DATI 'YON.
Tang ina.
Hindi na ako nakasagot dahil nagsimula ng tumugtog ang speakers sa gym at tumakbo na ito palapit sa klase nina Cara...kasabay ng ibang mga gagong lalake sa loob ng gym.
Tumakbo na din ako palapit at ngayon ko lang narealize na nasa dance class sina Cara.
"No f*****g way." Wala na akong nagawa ng magsimula na silang sumayaw. Maging si Victoria ay napansin kong sumasayaw din, sabagay pag kasama niya sina Marj at Cara, wala siyang pakialam sa nakapalibot sakanya. She's usually anti-social, at minsan ko lang siya makita makipag usap sa iba, unless it's Sebastian, na alam kong ka close nito or yung mag bestfriend. Kahit nga ako minsan ko pa lang siya nakakausap dahil palaging busy mag basa ng libro.
Napamura na lang ako ng mahina.
Cara was wearing a regular gym shorts, but there's nothing regular about it when she's the one wearing. I instantly got a hard on as she moved her hips beside Marj and Victoria.
Hindi siya nakasalamin at nakatali pa ang buhok niya----exposing her grey eyes and neck--f**k, I miss how sweet it tasted against my lips.
Ikinuyom ko ang aking kamao at pinaalala sa sarili na sabihan siyang wag itatali ang buhok.I don't want other guys seeing her sexy neck.
Hindi naman masikip yung suot niyang tshirt--pero hindi siya masyadong maluwag para matago ang kurba ng maganda niyang katawan--hot does not even begin to describe it.
She's just--simply alluring.
I wanted to drag her out of there and keep her in a locked box where only I have the key.
I have never felt this possessive and I think I will always feel this way pagdating sakanya.
