"You did what?" I'm horrified.
"Yeah."
"Hindi ka ba naawa sa kanya? That's not a good thing to do!" I'm freaking out here.
Anong sinabi niya sa'kin? Sinabi niya lang naman na pinagpustahan pala nila si May, the girl at Bry's party earlier. The bet was who will be the first one to sleep with her, kung si Carlo ba o si Kev. Gaahd. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwalang nagawa nila 'yun.
Just what the fck were they thinking? At si Carlo pa talaga?
"Sa tingin mo ba hindi ko alam 'yun?" sagot pa niya sa'kin.
"Eh bakit mo pa ginawa? Who even proposed that bet anyway?"
"Reena. Nakainom kami nun. Napagkatuwaan. Malay ba naming pinsan pala ni Bry 'yun. It's not like she's still a virgin." he defenses.
"So what if she's not a virgin anymore? That does not make it right! What did Bry do when he found out?"
"What do you think? Kaya nga hindi namin tinuloy eh, di ba? Can't you just drop it?"
"We can't just drop it." I scowl at him.
"Tapos na 'yun. Ano pang kinalaman nu'n sa'tin? At hindi naman natuloy eh kaya ano bang kinakagalit mo?" naiinis na sabi niya tsaka dumeretso ng kusina. I won't let him get away with this easily.
I follow him, "Did you even apologize?" I ask. He looks at me but he's not saying anything other than, his face telling me that he didn't. I really pity the girl. Now I know why that girl's twin was so mad at him. But he just won't get it, will he? Instead of talking sense to him, nagpunta na lang ako ng room niya para magbihis. I change into one of his shirts. We're at his condo.
I'm thankful na hindi siya sumunod sa kwarto. I just washed up and went to bed. I'm exhausted and I don't want to think more of what Kev just told me.
Napabuntong hininga na lang ako. It won't affect us anymore though, would it? What he did in the past doesn't include our relationship now... what we have is what's important now.
That's what I kept telling myself as I drifted to sleep.
"Reena.." I woke up with a small voice calling my name.
Nung imulat ko yung isang mata ko, the light is dim but I can see Kev with his eyes closed and his arms streching... looking for something... no, someone... me.
"Here." I close the gap between us and he pulled me close to him making me nuzzle my head in the crook of his neck.
I'm annoyed, frustrated and mad but I really can't hold back when it's him.
I feel him let out a deep breath and we both let our minds drift to sleep.

Days pass and it's already a weekend. Our fight a few nights ago was easily forgotten dahil wala naman talaga dapat akong ikagalit but I really feel bad for the girl. Nevertheless, it's all in the past now and all I care about is the Kevin that is with me now. I don't know if I'm being selfish but it's not my business to meddle with his past now, is it?
Kalalabas lang namin ng shower nung mag-ring yung phone ko and when I look at it, si Carlo.
"What?" I snap because the image of them betting on someone's innocence appear on my mind.
"Whoa. Sungit ah?"
I just sighed and decided to let it go.
"Bakit ka ba napatawag?" tanong ko na lang.
"Uhh.. my mom wants you and Kev to come over." he said over the phone and I don't know if I heard him correctly.
"Huh? Why?" tanong ko.
