Lampas alas otso na nang gabi. Maru had just partook her dinner in the carinderia that was just located in front of her apartment building.

At kakaligo lang rin niya. She slid into her comfy pajama. Pagkatapos ay muling dumapa sa kanyang kama kung saan nakalagay ang kanyang laptop. It was on the whole day while she was enjoying her crazy stint on facebook.

Pagkatapos i-upload ni Nikolas ang picture nila nang magkita sila kahapon, halos mahigit isang daan na ang comments niyon. She and Benjamin's friends particularly Nikolas made the photo a chat window. Sa labis na inis ni Benjamin.

He was talking at her in her inbox, warning her of the doom that would come her way if she wouldn't stop flirting with his friends.

Flirting? She rolled her eyes. She was just being friendly, for Pete's sake.

She disregarded his threat and his warning. Well, what could he do? She loved pissing him off. Isa pa ay naaalibadbaran siya sa kayabangan ng lalaki. Parang boyfriend niya kung umakto gayung wala namang kahit na anong namamagitan sa kanilang dalawa. But the fact that he was wasting time and energy on her made her heart increase its rhythm.

Pakipot na kung pakipot pero hindi siya ang tipong bibigay kaagad sa isang tipo ni Benjamin o ng isa man sa mga kaibigan nito. Birds of the same feather flock together ika nga at alam niyang kapareho lamang nito ang sampu sa mga kaibigan nito - perennial womanizers.

She checked her facebook again. Naka-online pa rin naman si Benjamin pero hindi na ito nagpapadala sa kanya ng pm. Kanina pang alas sais ito tumigil. Well, baka umuwi na mula sa trabaho ang lalaki at naging busy. O baka naman lumabas at naki-party?

Hindi niya alam pero parang may kirot na nabuo sa kanyang dibdib. She knew she was being silly for feeling such so she just frowned and thew the feeling away.

She was tinkering on her laptop when she heard knocks on the door. Bahagyang kumunot ang kanyang noo pero sa isiping baka ang landlady niya ang kumakataok at may kailangan, bumaba siya ng kanyang kama at lumapit sa pintuan.

But she sucked her breath after opening the door and saw the man who towered above her. Her heart started to ram like crazy as she gawked at the man who looked at her with cold menace in his eyes.

"Maru..." his firm lips spoke her name in controlled tone. His face was hard and his chinky eyes looked stern. He was grumpy but something flickered in his eyes when he saw her.

"Benjamin..." she whispered in shock, but her voice was barely a whisper. Ano ang ginagawa ng lalaking ito sa apartment niya? How did he find her?

He walked forward. Napaatras siya dahilan para magkaroon ito ng daan papasok sa loob ng kanyang studio apartment unit. Tuloy-tuloy itong pumasok, kicking the door closed behind him.

He was now approaching her and she continued to pace backward. She lost her tongue as her eyes hovered at him. Hindi siya makapaniwala na nandito sa kanyang apartment si Benjamin. And he looked dangerous. She knew that. She was too dangerous for her.
