Nakatingin lang ako sa labas ng bintana ng helicopter na sinasakyan namin "aist, biglaang misyon nanaman" malungkot na sambit ni Katana. Iniiwasan kong tapunan ng tingin si Brazzen na kasalukuyang na sa harapan ko lang "the mission's not that hard. Madali lang natin tong matatapos, the order was to check the perimeter around the mansion and protect the family till dawn diba Suprema?"

"Uh? Oo" wala sa sarili kong sagot tyaka muling binalik ang tingin sa tanawin. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwalang hinalikan ako ni Brazzen, it was just a 5 second kiss but it felt like forever.

"oh fvck, let's just get over it" and before I could even react. Naramdaman ko na ang dampi ng isang malambot at mainit na bagay sa labi ko. Oh sht.

Brazzen is kissing me.

He fvcking kissed me.

Napasinghap rin ang mga kasamahan namin dahil sa ginawa niyang paghalik, I was also astounded by what he did. Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko na tila lalabas na ito, and I never felt my stomach getting wild before. I was mentally counting.

5!

5 seconds! He kissed me for 5 seconds! Ramdam ko ang tindi ng init ng pisngi ko dahil sa halik niya. Hindi ko alam kung san ibabaling ang tingin ko dahil patuloy pa rin sa pagtitig saakin si Brazzen, in fact. I can feel his stares "guys! O–kay, what's with the atmosphere?" Tuluyan nang nakalapit saamin si Ethan. Si Katana ang unang nakarecover mula sa pagkakagulat "A. .ah! Ethan? Nandito ka rin pala ha ha, hi"

Ngumiti si Ethan tyaka ito nagsalita "now i know why they can't contact you Supreme, brought your phones with you?" Nalilitong umiling si Katana kay Ethan. Kinalikot nito ng bahagya ang cellphone niya tyaka niya ito hinarap saakin, a new announcement in the Supreme's website. They're looking for us "Ralph, pakikuha ng phone ko sa hotel room namin ni Katana"

Tinapon ko sa kanya ang card ng kwarto namin ni Katana. Mabilis siyang umalis matapos ito makuha "thank you for informing us, oh right. Katana, this man will be getting married next year"

Nanlalaki ang mga matang sinugod ni Katana at Pierce si Ethan "ay taken na si ser pogi" rinig kong saad ni Kitty. Tapik lang and ginawa ni Adam kay Ethan, samantalang suntok at sipa naman ang ibinibigay ni Katana at Pierce "ooooh, you heartbroken man! Ikakasal ka na ha"

"Suprema"

Hinihingal na ibinigay saakin ni Ralph ang cellphone ko, sakto namang tumunog ito "salute" agaran kong saad. Napahinto naman sina Katana sa pambubugbog kay Ethan "salute, we've been trying to contact your team as well as Katana, Suprema"

"Yes sir, sorry about that. We didn't bring our phones with us, we're actually having our outing here somewhere in Visayas"

"Right, I'm sorry to disturb your outing. I know that you're on vacation but, we need your team's immediate presence. We're out of team right now, almost all of the Supreme's team here in the Philippines are on missions. Don't worry, this is not a code red mission. But even though it's not that dangerous, this is still important and I'm counting on your team"
