Chapter 2

A week later, I still do not leave the house because I feel bad. The lights in my room were dimmed down. I burried my head in my hands and began to cry a little because of my headache. After a minute of crying, someone cracked the door open.

"Ouch," my tone was weak when I said this.

"What are you doing there? Stand up," Eunice said but I ignored her.

"My girlfriend is waiting for you in the lounge room so stand up," she continued.

I slowly moved my body so I could stand up and I wiped away the tears.

"Hey, what's wrong?" she asked worriedly but I just kept walking.

As we went down the stairs... With a single glance, I recognized the man and the woman sitting together on a couch. The woman seems to be the one Yuna is referring to as her girlfriend. But why is she with a man? Oh, right...the man with her was her brother. When we got to the lounge room, the woman looked at me intently, while the man couldn't look at me. I sat down next to Eunice and put my palm on my lap.

The woman was wearing a cute,lilac polo and maong short. She looks simple but she is even more attractive and striking because of the jewelry she is wearing. Her beauty is also enticing and it is not boring to look at. The man was wearing a wrinkled black t-shirt tucked in to his pitched-black pants paired with ebony gucci belt. He had long bangs that covered his eyebrows. His face was heart-shaped; with a sharp jaw, thin lips, perfect nose, thick, dark eyebrows and big rounded eyes. He is also remarkably tall.

"I'm sorry if we took so long," Eunice said gently and she bowed.

"It's okay. Ano ka ba," she laughed modestly.

"Oh, Hi. I am Carnelian,just call me Carnel. This is my brother, Lucas," she introduced herself and her brother. I just smiled at them. Maybe that woman is just as old as Bea (22) and her brother is just my age (26).Hula-hula ko lang. I'm not sure.

"What do you want to drink?" I asked as I stood up.

"Kahit ano," the siblings said at the same time.

They both looked at each other. She pushes her brother's shoulder and repeatedly says 'go ahead, help her'. Para silang mga bata! I laughed because he was so annoyed but he just didn't make it obvious. Eunice, on the other hand, looks like a very naughty worm because she looks thrilled with her interlocutor. It looks like my friend is having an affair!

I was about to go to the kitchen when Carnel called me. I stopped and waited for what she would say.

"Oppa will-" what she was saying was interrupted as his older brother stood up.

I continued walking and he followed me. His two hands were in his pocket. He was very close to me. Our space is only about three inches apart. While I was walking, I saw a scattered dirt so I stopped. I bent over and was about to pick it up when I suddenly felt my ass on the exact part of his.. you know. Grabe! Feel ko ang laki! I'm wearing silk pajama shorts; he must have felt my big ass. I immediately stood up and looked at him. I could see the shock on his face. I averted my eyes and bit my nail, wondering what to say. I felt my heart raising and my body trembling. Do I have to apologize for the sudden incident? Or not?

"I.. I'm sorry," that's all I could say to him kasi nahihiya ako at naiilang.

"It's ok," His voice was deep, warm, and husky; it hooked and scratched at the heart of most women.

I got two banana milk from the refrigerator and two strawberry milk for Yuna and me. I put it in the circular wooden tray and carried it by Lucas. I am preparing chocolate mochi cookies so we can have something to eat.

"You know, I've been wanting to be friends with you for a long time," said Carnel, holding her milk.

"Awe," I said and tittered.
