Warren started taking my top off way before he started kissing me. He isn't a good kisser but he isn't that sloppy, either. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would have to give him a 5, and that is already me being generous.
Denver and I never made out in this studio. He would sometimes take me here to chill, but never to do anything sexually inclined. Unlike Pat and Axl who do it here all the time like it's a freaking motel, Denver actually respected the place. This studio is like a shrine to him, and up until now, I still don't know whether to admire him for that or get weirded out.
"Are you sure this isn't awkward?" Warren asked, his voice deep with lust as he pulled down my bra and exposed my breasts.
"Why would it be?" I lifted his shirt and ran my hands on his chest, surprised to discover that he's actually more well-built than I expected.
"I'm friends with your ex," he whispered hesitantly despite the fact that his erection is already starting to grow.
"I'm friends with him, too. We've both moved on so this shouldn't be an issue," I answered, gripping him in my hand.
He let out an involuntary groan.
"Besides, we aren't telling anyone so he isn't gonna find out."
I was half an hour late to my first class. Buti na lang at unang araw pa lang ng pasukan kaya puro introduction lang ang ginawa namin.
"If you and Denver haven't broken up, I would assume that you just had a quickie in the parking lot," Pat said maliciously, sneering at me. She grabbed a hair brush from her bag and quickly started combing my hair of tangles.
"Baka naman nagkabalikan na talaga sila, hindi lang umaamin," singit naman ni Ganja na ipinatong ang siko sa mesa at pinapanood kami.
"No, I don't think they did. Denver was always with Jolo and Nica during summer break, eh," sagot ni Pat.
Napansin ko rin na lagi nga silang magkakasamang tatlo, pati na rin iyong kababata ni Jolo na si Sasha. Mabuti na rin iyon kaysa naman ibang babae ang kasama niya.
"What really happened ba?" Ganja asked. "I thought you'd get back together after what happened in Pat's condo."
Akala ko rin.
"Hindi ko alam, eh," sagot ko sa kaniya. Silang dalawa ni Pat ang best friend ko, pero hindi ko magawang sabihin sa kanila ang totoong dahilan ng hiwalayan namin ni Denver.
Isang buwan na kaming hiwalay no'n nang bigla niya na lang akong hinalikan sa harap ng mga kaibigan namin at sinabihan na bumalik na ako sa kaniya. Nasa condo kami no'n nila Pat at Axl para i-celebrate ang pagbabalik ni Ganja galing Pakistan at hindi ko inaasahang makikipagbalikan siya sa akin.
Buong akala ko ay magkakaayos na kaming dalawa no'ng gabi na iyon, pero malayo pala iyon sa katotohanan.
"Kung lalayo ako, sasama ka ba sa 'kin?" bulong niya habang hinahalikan ang leeg ko.
