When he lowered his lips to mine again, his hands slipped from the hem of the hoodie jacket. Dahan-dahan tumaas ang kanyang kamay, my breath hitched when he cupped one of my bosoms and started kissing me with tongue.

"You sure about this, Stanislaski?" Muli niyang tanong, pinching my bosoms firmly. I moaned his name.

"Yes. I've never been so sure with my life." I cried in a plea, anticipating what will happen next. I've lifted my hands on his shoulders, then slid them around encircling his neck. The mood was already set, the ambiance is perfect, and the atmosphere is exquisite.

My breath almost stop when he tried to remove the hoodie when we both heard a voice coming from our side.

"Should I turn some slow and soft music so you two can totally enjoy doing it?" A voice said, deep and domineering. I saw Trevor's face sunk as he closed his eyes. Umalis ito sa aking itaas at naupo sa carpet. I faked a cough and sat down beside Trevor. Doon ko lang nakita kung sino ang nagsalita.

His hair is really unusual. Hindi ka mahihirapan makita siya kahit maraming tao. It was Alexander Coben III. Kilala ko ito dahil madalas ko itong makita na kasama ng aking mga pinsan.

"What are you doing in there, Alexander? Bakit para kang estatwa na nakatayo dyan." Another voice said. Bigla akong namula nang magsink-in sa utak ko na nakita ni Alexander ang ginagawa namin. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ba ako magpasalamat na may damit pa rin kaming dalawa ni Trevor. All we did is kissing.

"You don't have any idea, man. Imagine my shock when I saw Trevor eating a girl's face. And they are about to –,"

"Shut it, Alexander." Napatayo na si Trevor at hinagisan niya si Alexander ng throw pillow. Agad naman niya itong nasalo.

"Si Trevor? Nandito? Baka namamalikmata ka lang." May narinig akong yabag na mga paa na lumapit sa pwesto ni Alexander. The owner of that voice is Severus.

What are they doing here? Feeling embarrassed, I stood up.

"I'm not. She's with a girl," Alexander gave me a quick glance, trying to remember me.

"Tori, what are you doing here?" I heard my cousin, Kalev said. Tell me this is not happening. Napahawak ako sa aking buhok at sinabunutan ito. Bakit ngayon pa sila dumating.

"Another Stanislaski, I see," Alexander commented as if he already recognized me.

"Oh shit, it's really Trevor," Severus said, shocked.

"I thought this place will be empty. Bakit ngayon pa?" I heard Trevor say before walking towards and greeted his friends.

Great! What a great timing.

"Who wants some cappuccino?" Kalev said, walking straight to the kitchen. Dala-dala niya ang mga ingredients.

"How about cappucciyes," Severus said and followed Kalev to the kitchen. Alexander then gave Trevor a meaningful look before putting their luggage in the corner. Naiwan kaming dalawa ni Trevor sa living area.

"Uhm... I should go to the kitchen." Sabi ko sakanya. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako titingin. It is so awkward.

"That's a good idea." Sagot naman niya sa akin kaya dumiretso ako agad sa kusina. Doon ko nakita si Kalev at Severus na ngayon ay naka tanggal na ang mga coat nilang suot. Kalev is making coffee, Severus is smelling the food Trevor made earlier. Nakita kong tumingin sa akin si Kalev, looking at my clothes. I know he's not gonna ask me and I know he's just waiting for an answer.

"I slipped in the swimming pool. Trevor let me borrow his clothes."

"Awie, that's bad," Severus said, leaning on the island counter. He's looking at me as if that's not what happened. I tried not to look flustered.

"Okay. Don't forget to use contraceptives." I winced from Kalev's words. He looks so unaffected while making a darn coffee.

"Kalev!" My brows drew together.

"What? Just trying to warn you." Kibit balikat niyang pahayag na parang wala lang sa kanya ang lahat. When did he ever be this so... open and supportive? I thought he was gonna stop me from pursuing their friend.

"It's not like that!" I exclaimed.

"Calm down, okay, I heard you." With a little frown on his face, he put the freshly brewed coffee in a cup.

"But seriously Victoria, use contraceptives." My cousin, Kalev, repeated. Hindi ko alam kung nagbibiro ito o seryoso.

"Safe sex." Severus whistled. I stomp my feet.

"Gosh. Parang hindi niyo ako naririnig. Coming here is a bad idea."

"Wala ka dapat ikahiya, Tori. Being sexually active is nothing to be shy about. You are exploring and knowing yourself better."

"You're not listening to me!" I said frustrated. Gosh! All we did is kissing and we were interrupted. At dahil doon, hindi na namin naituloy ang dapat namin gawin. Wait a minute, ano nga dapat namin gawin ni Trevor? I still remember the feeling of his warm hands on my chest. And that felt amazing. Something was stirring inside me and I don't want it to go so soon. Now that I got a little taste of it, I want to do it again with him. Pero kilala ko si Trevor, it will take time again to reach for him.

What I know about him is he's not easy. It is difficult to infiltrate his mind. I want to own him but I guess he's owning me.

"For starters, sex activates a variety of neurotransmitters that impact our brain and body. The purpose of sex is not only for procreation but also for pleasure." Sabi ni Alexander habang naglalakad papasok sa kusina. Lahat kami ang napatingin sa kanya.

"This neurotransmitter and hormone I am talking about is dopamine. During the activity, the center of the brain is hit by dopamine as the level of cortisol drops, releasing oxytocin in the body." He added, reaching for a glass of water and putting it in his mouth.

"I think everyone knows about that, smartass," Severus said, wrinkling his nose.

"What? I'm just giving our little friend here facts. Besides, I heard all of you talking. I am just butting in."

"Spare me with the lectures. I am out of here, argh." I rolled my eyes at them and left the kitchen. Trevor's friends are so weird. What are they even doing here?
