I had a strange dream again, I've been having them recently lalo na kapag pagod ako. Naalimpungatan ako dahil sa araw na tumama sa mga mata ko, can't the sun rise later? I'm still sleepy but wait? Sino tong? Kaninong ulo tong nasa gilid ng kama ko?! Oh my goodness! Did I brought someone home last night?!!!!! Fuck! I hope I didn't, I immediately woke up and saw Peter. Naka higa yung ulo niya sa kama ko and his sleeping position is uncomfortable.

I remember everything about last night, he made a mess and punch someone though it's fine. Kung kakasuhan man siya non then that's not my problem, siya naman ang sumapak doon eh. I didn't tell him to do it either but then again, ginawa niya yon dahil sa'kin so it's partly my fault. Come to think of it, mukha siyang maamo kapag natutulog but he's a jerk kapag gising siya. He should sleep all the time, mas cute siyang tingnan kapag ganito.

For the first time in my life, I didn't overreact nor scream loud. Dahan-dahan lang akong tumayo mula sa kama ko, I was about to go out my I saw him shivering kaya bumalik muna ako para kumutan siya. He's here for a reason and he's sleeping peacefully, it'll be rude kung bigla ko na lang siyang gigisingin tapos itataboy ko pa. I may be a witch but edukada ako, my mother might not be a perfect one but she manage to taught me kung papaano maging tao.

If I'm in his position, I doubt na itataboy niya ako kaya dapat ganon din ang gawin ko. Isa pa, why the fuck would I overreact? Wala namang nang yari sa'min. I'm still wearing my clothes and I don't feel sore 'down there' kaya I'm sure na inuwi niya lang ako dito, baka napagod lang siya kaya hindi niya na nagawang umuwi kahapon. I knew what happened but I can't recall what time did I passed out.

Matapos kong ayusin ang kumot, agad din akong lumabas ng tahimik. Dumireto ako sa kusina at naabutang nandoon si Bryson, Jeremy at Cairo kasama ang mga kaibigan kong bagong gising lang din katulad nila, kinusot ko pa ang mga mata ko para siguraduhing hindi ako namamalik mata or what. Totoo sila?! What the fuck happened last night?! Atsaka bakit mga shirtless tong mga to? Wala ba silang damit?

"Gising ka na rin? Si Peter?". Bungad sa'kin ni Cairo. Inirapan ko siya at hindi pinansin, I'm not in the mood to argue with him. I'm still trying to process everything dahil baka may nakaligtaan akong nang yari kagabi, don't tell me that I made a mistake in front of Peter?

"Anong ginawa ninyong lahat dito? Do our mansion look like a orphanage? A motel?". I asked. Jianna sauntered to my direction and hugged me, may dumi pa siya sa mata at mukhang hindi niya pa iyon napapansin kaya wala siyang pakealam.

"What the hell is wrong with all of you?! If we didn't arrived, something must've happened to the four of you!". Bigla akong napatalon dahil sumigaw si Bryson. This is the first time that I've seen him like this, I mean? Palagi siyang tahimik at walang pake sa mundo. Hindi naman siya galit sa'min tatlo, kay Ember lang talaga siya concern, hindi niya naman kami girlfriend lahat diba?

"Jes*s! Can you stop yelling at us? Ang aga aga pa, baka magising si mommy". I reminded him. Baka nakakalimutan nilang lahat na bahay ko ito, in this place? I'm the ruler, the law maker and the Queen. Kung ayaw nilang irespeto ang mga gusto ko then the door is always open, they're free to go.

"And you! We're not done talking yet". Turo ni Bryson kay Ember. She couldn't look up and answer to him, naka hanap din siya ng katapat niya. Everyone reeks of alcohol and it's mixed with something disgusting, ano ba yung naamoy ko maliban sa amoy ng alak?
