8:34PM, I got up on my bed, wore my faded blue sweater and black low cut converse. I left my unit and decided to take a walk not knowing where I'm going.

Matataas na poste na may ilaw na dilaw ang nagbibigay liwanag sa madilim na lugar na nilalakaran ko. Tabi tabing tindahan at bahay ang nakapwesto, na may kala-kalawang na yero ang bubong. Mga lalaki na mabibilog ang tiyan ang nag iinuman at nagtatawanan sa kanto. Mga dalagitang may kalong kalong na sanggol. Usok na lumalabas mula sa iba't ibang bibig ng mga tao na nananatili sa lugar na 'to. Mga batang naglalaro pa rin sa labas at walang mga magulang na kahit isa man lang ang nagbabawal. At may isang batang babaeng umiiyak ng malakas at pilit na pinupunasan ang kanyang mga luha.

"Shirley! Okay ka lang?" tanong naman ng isang batang lalaki na sa tingin ko ay kapatid niya.

Patuloy pa rin ang pag iyak ng bata. Sana kaya din natin umiyak ng ganun noh? Nang sa ganon, mapawi man lang ang sakit at bigat na nararamdaman mo. Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. Ako nga pala si Rupert, Pert for short. 18 years old and a college student dito sa Manila.

As I walk my way home, dumaan ako sa isang convenient store para bumili ng kape. I sat there in front of the glass window while I take a sip of my coffee. Kung saan nakikita mo lahat ng nasa labas. May natanaw akong isang lalaki na parating. He's wearing one of our university shirts and he seems familiar. When he lifted his head from looking at his phone, I finally recognized his face.

*Flashbacks

---The sun is already setting and yet nasa school pa rin kami ng mga kaibigan ko. May event kasi sa school at maraming free foods. Ng may isang lalaki at babae na lumapit sa'min. "Hello! Kung gusto niyo ng libreng frappe, just fall in line, doon oh!" said by his gentle delicate voice. Sabay turo sa pinakamalapit na bldg sa kinatatayuan namin. He has this shiny black hair that turns into dark brown when exposed to sunlight. Same with his eyes, makapal din ang kilay niya with long lashes, and his nose is pointed enough para masabing matangos siya. His fair skin na may blemishes na bumagay naman sa kanya. And his lips, his lips were red as roses. "Pinabibigay lang" the girl murmured and giggled. Inabot ng guy ang dalawang stabs ng Frigoli Cafe. Napakahaba ng pila but who cares? Nagkaroon kami ng dalawang free mocha frappe ng tropa at naghati hati kami dun. Hahaha! ----

Tumunog ang pinto ng 7-11 at nagsalubong ang mga mata namin. He smiled at me, and I smiled back. A few minutes later… To my surprise, he sat beside me with a box of meal at isang chuckie.

"Sup?" tanong niya while unwrapping his food.

"Hi" sagot ko naman.

"Naka dorm ka around this area?"

"Uhm, sa sun ako nag ii-stay."

"Talaga? Sa sun din ako eh!" He looked at me with amusement. "Mag isa ka lang sa condo mo?" Pahabol niya pa.

"Yup."

"I see. Brendan nga pala" pagpapakilala niya at inabot niya ang kamay niya.

"Nice name, I'm Rupert." We shook hands. "Thank you nga pala pre dun sa stabs na binigay mo ah?" pagpapasalamat ko.

"Wala yon, crush ka kasi ng malandi kong kaibigan eh. Pinabigay niya lang haha" And then he laughed.

"Ahhh, still, thank you." I answered with my fake laugh. "Ano nga palang program mo?"

"I'm taking up BS Bio, ikaw? Psych ka diba?"

"Yup, nakita mo sa lanyard ko? Haha. Pre med mo ba ang bio?" I asked.

"Hmm, hindi ko alam eh. Nag Bio lang ako kasi yung family ko, puro nasa medicine field. No choice…" He said while he shrug his shoulders. "Hintayin mo na ko, sabay na tayo bumalik. Anong tower mo?"

"2" malamig kong sagot.

"Tower 1 ako." Biglang tumahimik ang paligid at tila hindi ko na alam ang sasabihin ko. "ang tahimik mo pala noh." banggit niya habang ngumunguya ng pagkain.

"I wouldn't be talking that much kung kumakain ako" pagbibiro ko

"Ay! Gusto mo ba?" He offered laughing.

"Hindi na, kumain na ko." I replied smiling.

After niya kumain ay sabay kaming umalis ng convenient store at sabay na bumalik sa condo. It was very awkward habang naglalakad kami. Ikaw ba naman, you're with someone you just met at pareho pa kayong lalaki. It's a bit odd, isn't it?

"So… ano Rupert? Gusto mo ba pakilala kita dun sa kaibigan ko? Chix yon!" Pagbibiro niya

"Uhmm… No thanks, wala kong time diyan" nahihiya kong sinabi

"Naks! Good boy huh? Wag ka na lang maingay na sinabi ko sa'yo ah. Magagalit yon."

"Sure… Si Erin ba?" I asked

"Yes! Paano mo alam?"

"eh… Siya yung kaibigan mo na officer eh. Student council lang naman ang pwede magbigay ng stabs nun dba?"

"Si Erin na yun, ayaw mo pa? Maganda, mabait, matalino, peymus. Medyo chubby nga lang pero sabi nila sexy daw. Dami ngang nanliligaw dun eh."

"Pass hahaha, ikaw? Ba't di mo ligawan?"

"Pshh, she's my friend."

Nung nakapasok na kami sa building ay magpa part ways na kami dahil magkaiba kami ng tower, pero dahil may taglay akong kalandian."Gusto mo, doon ka muna sa unit ko? Wala kong kasama dun eh"

He stares at me with his confuse look and I can't believe I just dropped a hint kung ano talaga ko. Fuck! "Sige na, may saturday class ka pa siguro." and then I turned my back and walked away

"Wala!" He shouted right before I press the elevator button. "Wala kong… class bukas." He smiled and since I bumped into him ngayon ko lang siya narinig mautal and suddenly… he now seems to be nervous and shy.

"Tara? It gets lonely lalo na pag ganitong gabi na…" I laughed.

Tumambay kami ni Brendan sa terrace. From above, we can see the bustling city of Manila. The shimmering city lights and far away skyscrapers.

kung sa pelikula eto na siguro yung moment na, wala ka nang maririnig dahil magpe play na ang romantic song at naka slow mo na lahat habang hinahangin ang buhok ng lalaking kasama ko. But in reality, it's just him and me. Standing there, appreciating the beauty of everything from where we stand, we don't have any background music but the howling of the wind and the busy streets of the city. Walang slow mo effect pero bumagal ang pag process ng utak ko to identify ano ba 'tong nararamdaman ko. All I know is just I'm extremely attracted to this guy.

That night, nag usap lang kami ni Brendan magdamag. We lost track of time and we got lost by our own words. Hindi namin napansin na 1am na pala.

"I've never done this before, sa totoo lang" he said while grinning

"Ano yun?"

"Eto… Have a late night conversation with someone with a view like this. Ang sarap pala sa feeling" he turned to me and smiled.

"Ang galing nga eh noh? I mean kanina lang mag isa kong naglalakad diyan. And then we bumped into each other. You approached me and ngayon nandito tayo, nag uusap."

"We are never prepared to unexpected. Alam mo yun? It's amazing how the universe has its own way of telling a story. In just one sec, everything can change."

His words make me admire him more. The way he thinks is as beautiful as his face. Something's telling me that I should go kiss him because he'll let me. Pero natatakot ako, what if ako lang nakakaramdam nito? What if ako lang ang naglalagay ng malisya? What if straight siya? Oh fuck it! I turned to him with my eyes closed and I put my lips onto his. It was a very quick smack and I saw him. Shocked with eyes wide open, staring at me with a perplexed look. He then suddenly grabbed my head and lean it closer to his. I was surprised and relieved at the same time. My gaydar worked! Lol.

This is the start of how things got dirty.

With our eyes closed, he slowly leaned mo onto the wall and kissed me hard. Sa tingin ko naghalikan kami sa terrace ng mga two or three minutes. Pumasok kami sa loob and we both landed on bed. I was on top of him, undressing him. Then we flipped, his right hand under my shirt, with his fingers playing with my nipples.

"Ugh, ang hot mo, tangina!" sambit niya habang nag iinit na ang bawat hinga niya.

We were kissing each other so hard. Pababa ng pababa ang halik niya, down to my jawline to my neck, to my chest and he licked my nipples.

"Ahhh!" mahina kong ungol

He comes down with his wet tongue passing through my abdomen until it reaches my pubs. Tuloy tuloy nang binaba ni Brendan ang shorts ko at pinaglaruan muna niya ang alaga ko sa loob ng briefs bago niya 'to tuluyang tinanggal. Hinawakan niya ng buo ang pagkalalaki ko at onti onti niya 'tong sinubo sa mainit at madulas niyang bibig. The sensation was unexplainable as his soft lips run through the head of my cock.

"Holy shit!" sambit ko and I heard him released a laugh.

Paulit ulit niyang tinataas baba ang bibig niya sa alaga ko. Nang hinawakan ko ang ulo niya ay bigla niyang sinubo ng buo ang alaga ko. "Ughhh!" Malakas kong ungol. At dahan dahan niyang itinaas ang mga labi niya na nagbigay sakin ng kakaibang sarap. Ginawa niya pa yun ng ilang beses until I lifted him up coz I feel like I also have to give back the pleasure he has given me. Ako naman ang nang romansa sa kanya. His muscles are well defined and he has a great physique. Masasabing kahit paano ay nahubog ng gym. Napakaganda ng pecs niya at tayong tayo na ang mga utong niya. Sobrang nakakalibog kaya sinunggaban ko agad ito, tinaas ko ang kamay nya and I licked his armpits, which makes him close his eyes and release a little bit of noise. Nang makarating ako sa baba ay nilagyan ko ng kaunting laway ang alaga niya at tska ko ito unti unti kinalat gamit ang dila ko. I licked his cock just like an ice cream. At ng naikalat ko na ang pampadulas ay sinubo ko ito ng dahan dahan. Taas. Baba. Taas. Baba, habang pataas ay dinadahan dahan ko sa ulo and I make sure na mahihigop ko ang ulo ng alaga niya which makes him moan.

"Fuck!….yeah…" Ungol ni Brendan

I sucked his cock real hard until he got tired of moaning. I felt his cock getting harder at umaangat na ang katawan niya.

"Malapit na ko… Fuck!"

I jerked off hanggang sa magkasunod kaming labasan. Humiga ako sa tabi niya while he was still gasping for air. Our eyes met and we laughed at each other.

"One of the best nights of my life…" he whispered

We lie on my bed after sex and let ourselves fall into sleep.

After what happened, Brendan sent me a friend request on facebook na in-accept ko naman. We would smile into each other pag nagkakasalubong kami sa campus. Pero hindi man lang niya ko china-chat, it seems like parang wala nang kasunod. Everything's back to normal to where it used to be.

It was a scorching hot day nung naglalakad kami ng tropa ko papunta sa library. And I saw Brendan holding someone's hand. Hindi ko ma explain kung ano naramdaman ko nun. It feels like gusto kong magalit pero wala kong karapatan. I feel betrayed kahit wala namang "kami". I thought it was something different, pero siguro para sa kanya it was just a one night stand. I always wonder how people manage to have sex without getting attached. Alam kong unang beses pa lang namin yun but I know, we had something real.

Pero siguro ako lang yun. Ako lang lahat yun.
