GEN POV
months have passed finally they're college and sobrang busy na nila to the point minsan nalang sila maghangout but maxine always there for cole, lagi niya kasama si cole.
patuloy lang ang law school ni cole hanggang sa mapasa niya lahat ng case and her dad is so proud about that.
abby and gabb gets jealous pero iniisip ni abby na para sakanila din naman yon pero si gabb sobrang competitive.
and now cole is reading case while maxine is playing with cole's phone.
cole's age is 19 she's turning 20 this year.
it's year still 2220 but it's december and yes it's after 1 month.
nasa office silang dalawa ni cole at maxine.
"cole, what kind of lawyer are you?" tanong ni maxine.
"criminal defense and business lawyer but i can change that after law school." sagot ni cole.
"kinaya mo yong dalawa? cole tao kaba?" gulat na sabi ni maxine.
"it's for the future" cole.
"well, wala naman akong ibang gagawin dito sa U.S.A kundi magaral at magtrabaho" cole.
"besides, I'm not into relationship" cole.
"aba, lumelevel up yang pananalita mo ah, dati 5-10 words lang ngayon 22 words na" masayang sabi ni maxine.
"keep it up coley btw you're not into relationship?" tanong ni maxine.
tumango lang si cole.
"sabi ko nga, all you do is to read,highlight,solve a case" Maxine said.
"nauuhaw ako cole" biglang sabi ni maxine.
"samahan kita sa baba?" sabi ni cole at akmang tatayo nang magsalita si maxine.
"ako na, kabisado kona bahay nyo kahit malaki" sabi ni maxine at tumayo.
"bumalik ka agad" cole said.
"baket, mamimiss mo agad ako?" maxine teasing cole.
"idiot" cole.
maxine just laugh at lumabas ng office ni cole.
bumaba siya at naglalakad papuntang kusina nang makita niya si gabb na umiinom, nakabukas ang dalawang butones sa taas at magulo ang buhok, pawis at tinutungga yung baso, nakalitaw ang adams apple kaya natulala si maxine.
"nauuhaw kadin?" natauhan si maxine nang magsalita si gabb.
"a-ahh oo" sabi ni maxine.
"here" sabi ni gabb at nilagyan ng tubig sa baso si maxine na pinaginuman siya.
lumapit si maxine at kinuwa yon, pasimple siyang ngumisi habang umiinom at dinadama ang baso na pinaginuman ni gabb.
"you can taste my lips if you want, hindi yung dinadaan mo sa baso" biglang sabi ni gabb na halos mabuga ni maxine ang tubig.
"h-ha?" maxine.
"I don't repeat my words, i know you heard it" gabb.
"a-ano-" bigla siyang hinawakan ni gabb sa waste at pinalapit si maxine sakanya.
inamoy ni gabb ang hininga ni maxine at ngumisi ito.
"i want to be your light maxine" gabb whispered that make Maxine knees tremble.
