The holidays went swiftly and it was now a new year.  Mabuti na lamang at natapos niya ang kanyang report bago ang deadline.  And now medyo relax sila kaya naman nagawa nilang magtsismisan.  Hindi na niya naririnig pa ang mga pinag-uusapan ng mga kaibigan.Naging maganda naman ang celebration niya ng Christmas and New Year with her kuya and his family.  She’s a little bit disappointed na hindi natuloy ang balak nilang outing ni Marsden.  She also dislike the feeling that her holidays were not complete without him.  Hinawakan niya ang infinity pendant ng kwentas na binigay nito before they parted. Hinatid siya nito sa Cavite dahil tiyak na mahihirapan siyang sumakay dahil nga uwian ng mga magbabakasyon. Masayang-masaya ang kanyang kuya ng makita ang dating kaibigan.  Bumalik agad si Marsden ng Tagaytay pagkatapos.  Naaalala pa niya ang ngiting ipinukol sa kanya ng kanyang kuya pagkatapos niyang ihatid si Marsden sa lab

Everything happened so fast.  Suddenly the jerk was pulling her close then with just a blink of an eye he let her go and unsteadily hold his blooded nose.   She can’t hear the other kind of curses he uttered because she was already being dragged toward the exit by none other than her ex.“What the hell are you thinking? Playing with fire you didn’t even know how to handle? “ galit na turan nito nang makarating sila sa labas.“I’m handling it well, I even slapped him, “ pagpapaliwanag niya dito.  She hated his tone as if she wanted what happened.Lumapit ito sa kanya with blazing eyes.  “Are you okay? “Even with her swimming sight, she saw the sudden change in his face.  He was angry and annoyed but hidden behind those is worry.“Ash–““Trish!  Oh my God, are you okay? “Agad siyang niyakap ng nag-aalala niyang kaibig

“Oh bakit wala ata ang mga boys?” tanong ni Chloe nang dumating ito sa apartment ni Trisha for their Friday night sleep over.“Eh pa’no itong bruha ang gusto palang panuorin ay Friends with Benefit siyempre ‘yong mga lalaki nagmovie marathon sa bahay nila Brix,” ani Abby na nakaupo na sa sala sa harapan ng TV.“Diba ang sabi ko trending eh diba ito ang pinagkakaguluhan ng mga hindi pa married na katulad natin…Diyos ko lagyan naman natin ng spice ang love life natin.”“Eh bakit may bestfriend ka bang pwede?” tanong naman ni Abby kay Jay.“Hindi ba pwedeng maghanap, ang dami-daming gwapo d’yan tiyak na may papatol sa sister mo noh,” sabay pa beautiful eyes dito.Natawa na lamang ito ipinagpatuloy ang pagkain ng popcorn.“Oy Abby baka naman wala ng matira para mamaya, hindi pa nga tayo nagsisimula malapit ng maubos,” natatawang paninita ni Joyce nan

  I should stop.  It must be stopped before it burned me.  Marsden knew he needed to stop.  But he’s already burning and his mind failed to stop his hands from exploring. Her skin was so smooth and warm soothing every tensing muscles on his hands. When he saw her wearing his shirt he was glad.  A sense of posession engulfed him but when she came in the light and he noticed how the front of the shirt embraced her perfectly molded breast it killed him. He can’t look at her without noticing the peak winking at him for a taste.  He felt like a pervert.  Like a teen who cannot control his urges.  He was already a man and has stronger will yet he can’t think straight and tell her what he planned to say with her tempting him to destruction. After saying what he wanted to say, he was happy to know that she doesn’t care much for Ash because she wasn’t that affected with the truth. Yet suddenly s

  Days passed and Trisha and Marsden renewed their friendship.  Eating together at breakfast and sometimes at dinner.  But one thing that change is that he never sleepover anymore.  Even when the rain never stop pouring, he always had reasons to go.  Sometimes it makes Trisha laugh to think he was afraid that she would lose into temptation and ravish him at night. But then, reality also makes her sad that even though their friendship was returned, he was still careful and maybe just trying to spare her feelings…he might not have directly told her to stop but she felt how much he avoided her failed flirtations. It was not easy really, because Trisha don’t know how to flirt.  With her previous relationships, she wasn’t actually into flirting, was not motivated or doesn’t have the chance or maybe theirs were different with how she felt with Marsden. However, she is quiet enjoying it.  Everytime he looked at her in a way that to
