“Baby, are you okay?” I flinched when Lance touches my cheeks. “Huh?” I asked him, startled. Pabalik na kami ng Manila. Since Lance was there, sakanya ako sumabay pabalik. Kerko asked me to go with him pero si Lance… ayokong masaktan ‘yung taong walang ibang ginawa kundi mahalin ako. ‘Yung taong hindi ako iniwan nung wala na akong kahit na sino sa tabi ko. I need to make up my mind.

“You looked bothered. Are you okay?” hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at pinisil ng marahan ang kamay ko. “I’m okay. I’m just tired but I’m happy that we’re going home.” I smiled a little. “Everything will be fine, baby.” He smiled at me. I nodded. “Everything will be normal again,” I replied. Magiging normal nga ba? I know pagbalik namin, I need to live with Kerko. Araw-araw ko siyang makasama at araw-araw lang na mararamdaman ko ang hindi ko na dapat nararamdaman sakanya. Nagiging unfair ako kay Lance.

“What happened after you talked to Kerko?” he asked me. Tinignan ko ang gwapong mukha ni Lance. He looked so angelic. Charming pero mukhang chick magnet. I don’t have the heart to hurt him. Ayoko ding sumugal sa sinasabi ni Kerko. What if marealize niya na si Ate Steph pa din? Paano kung hindi lang siya sanay na may ibang lalaki akong tinitignan? Paano kung…

“Mika,” Lance called me again. “Ha?” I blinked a couple of times bago nagsalita ulit. “What is it again?”

“Are you sure you’re okay?” kumunot ang noo niya. “May problema ba?”

I shook my head. “Wala. I was just… I am thinking about…” D-amn! Bakit ba kasi si Kerko ang iniisip ko habang kasama ko si Lance?!

“About?” he asked me, waiting for whatever it is that I am going to say. “About… uhm… us?” kulang na kulang sa kasiguraduhan kong sabi.

“What about us?” nilingon niya akong muli bago binalik ang paningin sa daang tinatahak namin pauwi.

“I… I…” I sighed. “I was just thinking that I am so lucky to have you, Lance.” That wasn’t a lie. I am indeed a very lucky girl that I have Edward Lance Saavedra in my life.

“Baby, you know it goes the other way, right? Ako ‘yung maswerte na sa akin ka. Akin ka lang naman diba?” he smiled at me. Genuine ang ngiti ni Lance at mas lalo akong nakokonsesnya kahit hindi naman dapat.

“Mas maswerte ako. No argument needed, okay?” nginitian ko siya at hinawakan ang pisngi. “Thank you, baby.”

“Saan pala kita ihahatid? Sa condo mo o sa bahay niyo?” he asked me after a few minutes. “Sa bahay. Titignan ko kasi kung may gamit ba akong dadalhin pa.”

“Tuloy talaga ‘yang pagtira mo kay Kerko?” bahagyang sumeryoso ang mukha ni Lance. “He’s using that as an excuse para makasama ka. That’s bullshit!” napailing si Lance. He’s frustrated and I can feel it. Hindi ko alam kung nagkausap na sila ni Kerko. He said he’ll talk to him pero hindi ko alam kung nakapag-usap na ba sila.
