'HOME'
ALTHYS TOKUGAWA
I WOKE up with a pain in my head, I was so drunk last night to think that I would have this hangover this morning, is it even morning?Lumingon ako sa side table saka pilit na umupo, I was shock to see that I am under the blanket.
Binuksan ko ang maliit na cabinet sa side table and i'm glad that there's a fresh water bottle there and some medicines that I could drink, kumuha ako ng isa to relieve the pain in my head then I immediately drink it.
"What a rough beginning" I whispered as soon as I tried getting up
A knock on the door caught my attention, tumayo ako para buksan ang pinto and unexpectedly it was Rye on the door.He smiled at me and handed me some clothes so I have him a confused look.
"What is this for?"
"Go change already, you have thirty minutes to get ready and i'll drive you to the airport to fetch Art—" someone cut his words off
The two people appear behind Rye, it was Xiera and Therios.
"Wow ha?Si Art pa talaga na kapatid ni Artherios ang tinira mo matapos nino ulit?Axis, Artherios, Rye.. sino pa ba?" umirap ako sa ere nang sabihin ni Xiera
Umayos ako ng tayo at pinag-krus ko ang mga braso ko, I smirk at her that give her so much confusion that she can't even handle her expressions anymore.
"I'm not aware that they've known each other for years but I still pull them all, ikaw nga kilala mo na sila pero 'yang nakuha mo mukhang napipilitan pa yata" she slightly gasp that is enough for me to notice "And that man beside you.. you don't deserve that but atleast you get it, just be grateful"
"Baka nakakalimutan mong nahulog din saakin 'yang kuya mo" depensa niya pa
"Baka nakakalimutan mo ring tanga sa pag-ibig ang kuya ko?He just like someone whose easy to pull, in short he likes a hoe like you pero iba pa rin 'yung mahal n'ya so remember that" inilugay ko ang buhok ko saka inihagis sa kama ang pang-ipit na 'yon "I don't have time to argue with you, I have a future emperor and future husband to fetch"
I saw Rye and Artherios' expression, they want to say something but they didn't bother saying it.Isinara ko ang pinto matapos kuhanin ang damit kay Rye, I didn't bother wearing make up last night kasi naisip ko ding baka dito na ako makatulog.
After taking a quick shower, I wore what Shiela brought me.Simple all blank tank top, pants and cardigan for the cold weather.Tinuyo ko lang saglit ang buhok ko gamit ang tuwalya, I didn't bother to use a comb for it because it will surely be fine after it dried.
"Let's go?" tanong ni Rye nang makalabas ako sa VIP room
"Let's go" sabi ko naman
Nilagpasan namin sila Therios and Xiera, I must say I haven't forgive that bitches but I know that time will come and time will heal itself until I could already forgive them even if they haven't apologize yet.

ARTILLERY WADSWORTH VENIZELOS
ONE night and one or two days is already a torture to me, Althys is like an addiction I couldn't stop having.Kumuha ako sa bulsa ng isang strawberry flavoured gum saka ko 'yon kinain.
I chew it until our pilot finally said we're about to land in the Philippines, iniluwa ko 'yon sa pakete kanina nang mawalan ng lasa saka itinapon sa basurahan.Me and Erin agreed that we should distance ourselves even though we already knew who we love.
She's in the very first seat of the plane while I am a the very back seat of the plane, it's way over dramatic but what can I do?Even though Althys — 'yung hello kitty girl na 'yon — is not around, nagkukusa pa rin akong lumayo sa mga babae.
Just like the old days, I don't like clinging around girls and vice versa.The reason is I hate how they tried to be perfect around me, only approaching me with their so called cute voice and they only approach me if they feel pretty.
I don't like that, unlike Althys.. she even smack my face on the mudfight before.
"We're here wohoo" sabi ng pilot mula sa speaker
The pilot is Phil, that one guy on the research group or should I say the leader?
Lumabas na kami sa eroplano at nang makapasok sa airport ay tanaw kona kaagad si Althys, she's wearing a stomach revealing clothes but I love it.I love how she dressed up like this for me, her messy half dried hair.
I cleared my throat and walk towards her direction, nang makalapit ay nilagpasan ko siya.Ramdam kong natigilan siya at nang lumingon ako ay nakayuko na si Althys, she look so devastated.
"Hmm" I hummed and smirk
Yumakap ako mula sa likod niya, I let my hands wrap around her waist and I rested my chin on his left shoulder.I feel like she's too stunned to even speak then my guards stand infront of her.
"This woman infront of you all will soon to be my wife," I said with my baritone voice as I pull her closer to me "You will exalt her as much as you exalt me, whoever touch this woman without my consent will breathe his last in my hands before the sun even touches the sea"
"We heard it, Master!" they all shouted as they bow their heads
I felt Althys' hands move into mine so I stood up saka ko siya ipinaharap saakin, I kissed her forehead and cheeks then I intertwined our hands as we both walk towards my car in silence.The guards follows us.
"That was sweet and terrifying at the same time" rinig kong sabi ni Althys nang makapasok kami sa sasakyan kaya natawa ako
"You like it, don't you?"
"Well kind of, people are looking at us awhile ago" aniya at sinimulang paganahin ang makina ng sasakyan
Siya na daw ang magda-drive dahil baka masagasaan kami dahil lang pagod ako.
"I like that, let them be jealous for what I caught.. an intelligent and opinionated woman damn, I got a lucky ass" siya naman ang natawa sa sinabi ko
"I'm not even your girlfriend but okay, I am lucky too for having a guy who's obsessed with pikachu for some reason" sumimangot naman ako sa sinabi niya
"Might as well remember the hello kitty bra saying it was cheaper, you're damn rich woman" paalala ko na tinawanan niya lang
"Whatever kumag, kamusta ang araw sa Australia?" tanong niya pero umiling iling lang ako
"It's a long day and I had so much paper to sign, I actually haven't sleep yet.. I am an exhausted emperor" pasimple ko siyang nilingon and she look shock
"Wow, you're an official emperor now?Congrats!We will celebrate that after you wake up, how about the marriage thing?"
"We're finally free, I guess I am fully yours and you're fully mine already" sagot ko bago humikab
"Congrats kumag pero kailangan mo munang matulog, i'll carry you in your house" and with that, I close my eyes
She's a woman and it may feel embarrassing for others to be carried by a woman but not me, i'm proud for having a strong woman beside me who loves ice cream with ube flavor.

I WOKE up in a bed and it feels so comfortable, not just my bed but my clothes doesn't feel so fit to me anymore.I opened my eyes and I notice that I am wearing a boxer and t-shirt, it's the same boxer I am wearing earlier.
Lumingon ako sa tabi ko then there I saw Althys' face, she's sleeping peacefully and she really looks like an innocent girl that every mother would trust.I wonder if I had nightmares last night?I can't remember my dream.
"Art?" she called my name with her sleepy voice
"I didn't even fucking move" I whisper with an amusement in my voice
"I just felt that someone's awake, goodmorning" aniya saka ngumiti
"Goodmorning baby—" natigilan ako sa pagsasalita nang marinig kong kumulo ang tyan n'ya sa gutom
"I'm sorry, hindi pa kasi ako kumain mula kagabi kasi inayos ko mga gamit mo" sabi niya saka itinuro ang closet kaya nanlaki ang mata ko
"Did they hand you all of my clothes?" mahina pero may diin ang bawat salitang binanggit ko
"Yes but I told them to do so don't be mad at them, ayoko na kasing ipagpabukas pa 'yang pag-aayos.. you know I hate procrastinating and leaving all the works behind 'cos they'll give me nightmares" natawa naman ako sa sinabi niya pero mahina niya lang akong hinampas
"Let's go downstairs, i'll cook something delicious for you as a payment" nauna siyang tumayo saakin at sumunod naman ako
"As you should"
I chuckle as soon as I heard her bossy voice, we both did our morning routine and walk downstairs.Madaling araw pa lang and it's only around four am in the morning, it feels so cold that I had to lend her my black themed pikachu clothes.
"You have so many collections of pikachu stuff and you're good at hiding it but I guess I am just too smart for you" she said confidently
"Well you're an empress for a reason, my empress to be exact" I said that made her chuckle
I took my time cooking but ended up looking down to something I forgot to think of, plus the morning is too cold for my friend.
"You've seen this, right?" I asked while walking towards her
She flinch a little.
"The what?" she asked innocently
Can't deny the fact that she's a smart woman in chaos but an idiot for something like this but I don't know why I find it cute.
"This" I look down for her to atleast have a clue but she look confused as hell
She stood up and walk closer to me, unexpectedly, she let her hands travel to my adam's apple that made my body weak.
"What—" I cut her off by grabbing her waist using my left hand while my right hand holds her chin so I could make her move her face
I kissed her lips and she immediately respond to it, I let her sit in my table while I am standing infront of her still holding her waist.The thing that wasn't suppose to happen, will happen.
