Brooke clutched Aquish's shirt while she felt his tongue delved the insides of her mouth. She felt his arm snaked around her waist to pull her closer.
They just stopped when someone cleared her throat and saw Violet and Trinity looking at them. Naroon din ang mga kaibigan ni Aquish at masama ang titig naman nila Draco sakanila.
"Brooke." tawag sakanya ni Violet.
Kaagad siyang kumalas kay Aquish at inayos ang sarili. She cleared her throat and looked at her friends. "Yes." she croaked.
"Tara sa booth at magpipicture taking kasi." sabi ni Trinity na may pang-asar na ngiti sa labi nito.
"Ah. Oo, sige. Tara." sabi niya at mabilis na hinila ang dalawang kaibigan palayo sa eksena.
Wala naman na sinabi ang mga ito sakanya. Ganoon naman sila Violet at Trinity, hindi sila namimilit na magkwento ang isang tao. They never said anything about what they saw also. They mind their own business and she's thankful that they're like that because she has no idea what will her explanation be if they ask her.
Buong gabi ay nasa may tent lang siya ng mga organizers o kaya'y kasama ang sorority mates niya na nakikiparty. Hindi na rin nagtangkang lumapit si Draco sakanya. Si Aquish naman ay nasa may malapit lang niya lagi pero hindi siya nito nilalapitan na pabor siya dahil hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala na naghalikan sila ni Aquish kanina lamang.
She can still feel her soft lips moving against her lips. How his tongue sent her to frenzy, his touches making her shiver and hot.
Okay, brain! Stop!
She sighed loudly. She shook her head to get rid of those thoughts. Hindi na nga muna siya magdididikit kay Jinny dahil kung anu-ano na ang mga pumapasok sa isip niya.
She was knocked out for that night not because she's drunk but because she's dead tired. Tanghali na nga siya nagising kinabukasan at dahil sa nakagawian niya ay una niyang chineck ang phone niya.
Nagulat siya dahil ang dami niyang notifications. Napaupo siya sa kama niya at tinignan ang mga iyon.
Aquish Eli Ocampo requested to follow you
Aquish Eli Ocampo sent you a friend request
Aquish Eli Ocampo and 400 others liked a photo you are tagged in
Brooke shook her head in disbelief while scrolling down her notifications on her phone. First is she accepted Aquish's requests on her Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Then she clicked on the notification where a photo was tagged to her.
"Oh my shit!" she gasped when a photo of her and Aquish kissing last night was posted at kasalukuyan itong umaani ng maraming likes, comments and shares. Nakita niyang si Atticus ang nag-post ng picture nila.
Napahilot siya sa sentido. Ano ba naman 'tong nangyayari. Gusto lang naman niya palayuin si Draco sakanya pero ito ang kinalabasan ng lahat. Hindi naman big deal sakanya pero ayaw naman niya maging usap-usapan.
Nakarinig siya ng katok sa pinto niya. Pumalatak siya at tumayo para pagbuksan ng pinto ang kumakatok. Pagbukas niya ng pinto ay kaagad na tinutok ni Shanna ang phone nito sa mukha niya.
"This is not a good photo. Boyfriend mo ba si Aquish?" diretsahang tanong nito.
She sighed loudly. "Hindi."
Tumaas ang kilay ni Shanna. "Then tell Aquish to take down this photo. Hindi magandang pagtsismisan ka ng iba lalo pa't mali naman ang alam nila. Fix this."
Iyon lang ang sinabi nito tapos ay umalis na sa harap niya. Nagpapapadyak siya sa inis. Umagang-umaga ang laki kaagad ng problema niya.
She got her phone and was about to call Aquish when she realized she doesn't have his number. Tinignan niya ang messenger nito at nakitang three hours ago pa ito online.
Wala siyang choice kundi maligo, magbihis at magpunta sa Frat house ng Alpha Mies Omega. Their frat house is just three blocks away from theirs here in Vanderbilt Drive. Naglalakad palang siya ay natanaw na niya si Aquish na nagja-jogging. Naka-sando lang ito at may nakakabit na earphones sa tenga nito.
Hinarangan niya ang daan para patigilin ito sa pagtakbo.
"Hey, what's up?" hinihingal na sabi nito sakanya habang tinatanggal ang earphones nito.
"Tell Atticus to take down the photo of us kissing." utos niya rito.
Nagsalubong ang kilay nito. "Why? Ganda kaya ng pagkakuha. Anggulong-anggulo nga eh."
"Basta! Sabihin mo nalang!"
"Hotshot, even if Atticus takes down that photo, marami na ang nag-share." sabi nito.
She groaned. "Then do something! Ayoko pag-tsismisan. Ayokong paabutin pa iyan sa parents ko!"
Ngumisi si Aquish sakanya. "Okay, fine. Chill your tits." natatawa nitong saad.
She's irritated and frustrated so she just let his words pass and be ignored.
"I know someone who's really techy and shit so I know he can take down all the photos in a snap. Pero.."
She heaved out a sigh. Ayan nanaman sila sa pero nito.
"Hindi libre, alam ko. Everything has a price for you." sabi niya sa tonong bored.
"Very good naman pala ang hotshot ko eh. Kilalang-kilala mo na ako."
She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Basta alisin mo iyong picture."
Sumaludo ito sakanya. Walang patumpik-tumpik na umalis na siya sa harapan nito. Narinig niyang sumipol si Aquish sa likod niya.
"Damn that sexy ass!" she heard him say.
She just shook her head and went back to their sorority house.
Kinahapunan, tulad ng ipinangako ni Aquish sakanya, wala na ang lahat ng pictures nila sa social media o kahit saan pa. Hindi niya alam kung paano nito nagawan ng paraan iyon pero wala na siyang pakielam as long as wala na iyong picture.
Nasa may opisina siya sa HQ nila dahil matapos ang event ay susunod naman niyang aasikasuhin ay ang fund raising event ng sorority nila.
She was busy searching for something when her phone buzzed.
Aquish started a weekly tournament in Everwing
Nangunot ang noo niya nang makita iyon sa chat feed nila sa messenger.
Aquish set a new personal best on Blinding Mildred in Everwing
And another popped up.
Aquish is first place in Everwing
Tinignan niya lang iyon at ni-lock ang phone. Everyone is playing that game. Even Violet is playing that game sa group chat nila. She tried it once but she's not really techy.
Her phone buzzed again. Nagbuga siya ng hininga at tinignan ang bagong message nanaman ni Aquish.
Aquish Eli Ocampo: Seen 💔
Brooklyn Tori Jimenez: I don't play Everwing. Sorry
She put down her phone and continued what she was doing but she suddenly lost her concentration. Pamasid-masid siya sa kanyang phone and when it buzzed again, mabilis niyang kinuha iyon.
Aquish Eli Ocampo: Photo was down.
Brooklyn Tori Jimenez: Yeah, I saw. Thanks! (I know you don't accept thank you's but thanks anyway.)
Aquish Eli Ocampo: Kiss mo nalang ulit ako sapat ng kabayaran. Isang kiss bawat utang.
Napangisi siya sa reply sakanya ni Aquish.
Brooklyn Tori Jimenez: 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Aquish Eli Ocampo: Ay bakit mo ko pinapakyu? Be careful what you send, baka totohanin ko iyan. Baka hindi lang sa utang kita baunin, makita mo.
Brooklyn Tori Jimenez: You and your dirty mouth. 🙄
Aquish Eli Ocampo: Haha! This dirty mouth your calling can show you the wonders of the world. Wanna try?
Brooklyn Tori Jimenez: Going offline...
Aquish Eli Ocampo: Wait! May itatanong ako sa'yo.
She can't help but smile at their conversation. She leaned back to her chair, completely forgetting that she has other work to do.
Brooklyn Tori Jimenez: What?
Aquish Eli Ocampo: IQ Test 'to. So pag-isipan mo ng mabuti.
Brooklyn Tori Jimenez: Okay. Fire away.
Aquish Eli Ocampo: How do you fit 71 people in a car?
Nangunot naman ang noo niya at nag-isip ng sagot. Posible ba 'yon? Is this a trick question?
Aquish Eli Ocampo: Tick tock. Tick tock. Tagaaaaallll
Brooklyn Tori Jimenez: That's impossible.
Aquish Eli Ocampo: Pwede 'yon.
Pilit niyang iniisip ang sagot pero kahit ano talagang piga niya sa utak niya ay wala siyang maisip.
Brooklyn Tori Jimenez: Okay, I give up. How?
Aquish Eli Ocampo: 2 sa harap. 69 tayo sa likod. 👅
Nagloading ang utak niya. How can you fit 69 people at the back seat. Paulit-ulit niyang binasa iyon at unti-unting nagregister sa utak niya ang meaning ng sinabi nito.
Brooklyn Tori Jimenez: GAGO
Aquish Eli Ocampo: Took you ten seconds. You're getting better, hotshot. Ano, tara?
Brooklyn Tori Jimenez: Hindi ako makikipag-69 sa'yo sa backseat!
Aquish Eli Ocampo: HAHAHAHA Tangina. I was talking about hanging out sa labas. I'll pick you up. Pero if you want, pwede naman iyong 69.
Brooklyn Tori Jimenez: FUCK YOU
Aquish Eli Ocampo: Hahahaha! Love you too hotshot, see you in an hour!
Napailing nalang si Brooke sa kahalayan ni Aquish pero hindi naman matanggal ang ngiti niya sa labi. Ano ba naman ang ginagawa sakanya ng lalaking iyon?

COMMENT DOWN!

Oh wag nyo sabihin gusto niyo kayo nalang i-69 ni Aquish??? Hala kayo! Hahahaha
