Yung last name ni Iara di ko sure kung nabanggit ko sa mga previous chapter. Paki comment nalang po kung mali ako. Thanks.

Please read my note after the chapter.

It was raining so I went to Theo's unit to just have a coffee while relaxing on his window sill. Naparami ang inom ko kagabi sa reception kaya talaga namang kailangan ko ang view sa bintana ni Theo. I hardly remembered what happened last night but Kuya mentioned to thank Theo for what he did that time.

I didn't bother to knock as I already knew his passcode. Pagpasok ko ay hindi ko nakita si Theo kaya dumiretso ako sa kusina para gumawa ng kape.

I found him there eating breakfast. As usual, kunot noo na naman niya kong sinusundan ng tingin.

"You really made yourself at home here." I shrugged and stirred my coffee. "I'll change my code one of these days."

Kumuha ako ng bacon bago siya halikan sa pisngi. "Good morning too."

Sinubo ko ang bacon at naglakad papasok sa kwarto niya dala ang tinimplang inumin.

Linggo ngayon at walang pasok. Ang mga trabahong kailangan kong tapusin ay nakumpleto ko na at naipasa kaya libreng libre talaga ang araw kong 'to.

Hindi ko lang alam kay Theo but my wild guess was that he too didn't have anything to work on because he walked in with only a towel covering his lower part then wore a T-shirt and comfortable shorts.

Usually, kapag meron pa siyang tatapusin ay hapon o tanghali na siya naliligo. Since umaga palang, malamang wala na rin siyang trabaho. Isa pa, hindi ko nakikitang bitbit niya ung laptop o tablet nito.

Nang humina ang ulan ay lumabas na ko. Theo was watching Spiderman Homecoming when I saw him comfortably sitting in the living room. Wala nga siyang trabaho ngayon.

Pumunta muna ako sa kusing para linisin ang basong aking ginamit bago tumabi sa kanya sa pag-upo. Nagbasa muna ako ng e-book habang siya nanonood.

"Kuya said thanks for last night." Naka-ilang chapter na 'ko nang maalala ko ang sinabi ni kuya. He just nodded once. "Anong ibig sabihin ni kuya? What did you do last night?"

"You don't remember?" He asked.

Umiling ako. "Medyo. Alam ko kasama kita but it's kinda blurry."

He looked at me directly to the eyes. When he made that loop side grin, it just made me more curious and nervous.

Yumuko siya para kunin ang cellphone na nasa center table. He tapped a couple of times before handling it to me.

"See for yourself."

Oh I just wished I didn't ask that question.

"A-Ano 'to?" I whispered, shocked.

It was a video. An embarrassing video of me. Theo was holding the top of my head with his right hand palming it flat. Like he just grabbed me on my head that easily.

"My girlfriend seems drunk."

"I'm n-not drangk! I-I'm not..." I said sluggish.

Pulang pula ang pisngi ko at tenga. Kung hindi lang ako naka turtle neck ay kita din ang pamumula do'n. The place was at the backseat of the car. Nakatingin ako sa kanan habang nakasandal ang kabilang gilid ko sa katawan ni Theo.

Hinahawakan niya ang ulo ko ng gano'n para ipirmi ang malikot na paggalaw ng aking ulo.

"Look at the camera..." Ipinihit niya muli ang aking ulo sa direksyon ng camera.
