FRANKI'S POV

"Can I sleep as soon as we get home?" I turn to David beside me as I wearily roll the loud wheels of my pale pink carry-on luggage along the marble floor of the arrival area of NAIA Terminal 1. My eyes are so heavy I think they're going to fall off from their sockets any seconds from now.

"Diana has already prepared food for us so we should eat it right away or else she'll get mad." With a creased forehead, he turns to me and continues, "And what about our plans of going to BGC?"

My squinting eyes linger on his eyebrows. I really like their thickness and they're not as messy as those with the other boys.

"Babe," he snaps me back to Earth, eliciting a groan from me.

"We can do it later as soon as I wake up. I would kill the cutest cat in this planet for a soft, clean bed right now, you know," I mumble with my eyes half-closed.

"Wake up after one day? You sleep like a dormant volcano, Babe. And besides, I told Diana to get us Shakey's too so you can eat your favorite pizza." he nonchalantly utters while looking at our boarding pass to see which baggage claim area number should we head to.

"Dave, I don't want pizza. I'm on healthy living this time, remember? I want fruits...Please?" I beg while pouting my lips at him. The thought of eating some kiwi and apples somehow made my eyes fly open again.

He turns to me and smiles, "You really are such a baby. I can't wait till we finally get home so we can play the whole day." That naughty grin appearing on his face made me blush, but after a split second, my eyes widen at a sudden realization.

"Wait...Wouldn't it be awkward having your sister with us while we mess around?"

The thought made me recollect a kind of traumatic experience before when I was in college. My roommate slash college best friend Jess short for Jessica caught me having sex with my boyfriend Dylan at that time— like really caught in the act with me being fully naked so she basically saw my...thing and Dylan's...thing saying hi to each other. She was stunned for a few seconds, gawking at me before storming off the room.

After that incident, things became really awkward between us. The gap was unbearable. She became very distant to me and even made new friends and it broke my heart. I tried talking to her about it but I always chickened out.

I felt like she was really offended by the fact that I brought Dylan into our room and had sex with him. She didn't like him for me and had always told me that he was a jerk. I wanted to widen my efforts into taking her back again but one day, when I came home, she had already moved out and blocked me on everything.

She made me feel like I killed her whole family or something. I never heard anything from her from that then on.

I really missed her so bad and it was really heartbreaking to lose a friend that way that's why I became hesitant when David told me at the last minute that his younger sister Diana has been staying in his place ever since he was booked for a modeling contract in Australia. She needs to stay for a couple more months because of her current work so we will basically be living in with her too.

I agreed with David's proposal of staying with him in the Philippines for a couple of months because I want to enjoy my short vacation with him and also to discover this beautiful country and my roots, but I didn't expect his sister Diana to be with us.

There was no backing out though, as we have already booked our tickets at that time so I just have to be positive on this and enjoy my vacation and my budding relationship with David Mackey.

I met him in a magazine photo shoot in a hotel three months back and we have been dating ever since.

"Nah, she's good," David responds to my issue with Diana. "And you're not loud anyway." he wiggles his eyebrows as he said that, causing me to playfully elbow him.

Finally, we reach the baggage reclaim area.

"I can't wait to meet her. I hope she'll like me," I say while waiting for my bags to emerge from this circle thing.

"Oh, Babe. You're adorable. Who wouldn't love you?"

"Bolero," I say in Tagalog while rolling my eyes. The word means ass-kissing or overpraising or something. It's one of those few Filipino words that he taught me. I just wrinkled my nose when he pinches my chin and chuckles heartily.

After almost an hour, the Grab car finally stops in the entrance of his condominium building in Taguig. As the bellboys are taking all our luggage from the trunk, David turns to a motorcycle pulling up just in front of the Grab car. The rider who is wearing a black leather jacket and tight black pants and boots is probably a female because of the slim yet curvy figure.

"Oh, there she is," he approaches her as she draws her helmet off, her long black hair which was initially contained comes falling loosely over her shoulders. I find myself staring at her as she flips her hair from side to side and brushes it back with her fingers.

Oh my gosh, she looks like a model who was solely made for that sexy motorcycle!

"Hey, Brat! Why are you out here?" David rushes to the woman and immediately hugs her. She must be Diana because I recognized her face from one of the pictures David showed me last time. She actually looks prettier in flesh and up close.

The siblings are gleefully talking to each other when I decided to join them.

"Hello po! Ako si Franki!" I cheerfully introduce myself while extending my arm for a handshake and keeping in mind that I have to make a good impression.

She finally turns to me and gives me a small smile, a kind of smile that doesn't bare her teeth.

"Diana," she nonchalantly utters while receiving my handshake. She gives my hand a quick, single squeeze before immediately releasing it.

"Yeah, I know you. Dave has told me a lot of things about you!"

"Oh yeah?" she raises an eyebrow at me. Damn, she's like really tall I am kind of hyperextending my neck just to meet her eyes.

"He told me that you're also a model and has been into pageants. Well, you sure look like one!"

"Thanks. Do you know how to speak Tagalog?" she asks me while David pays the Grab driver.

"Konti lang. (A little)" I gesture with my thumb and index finger.

She cocks her head to one side while a corner of her lips quirks up, "Nice,"

"So, are you—" I trail off when the bellboys interrupted us. They are waiting for us in front of the entrance doors with all our stuff.

"The food is ready up there. You guys enjoy as I still have some errands." Diana slides her body back up on the motorcycle.

"Oh, okay. See you later then, Diana!"

She just nods her head at me as I wave goodbye to her with a huge smile on my face.

"We will be waiting for you, Brat!" David exclaims as she puts on her helmet and rides off.

"She seems nice, David. And not to mention cool!" I tell him as we head to the elevators. "Does she party here? I want to meet new friends too."

"I actually don't know. My sister is always busy and is not really fond of sharing." His eyes glazed with an intriguing emotion as he said that, making me momentarily curious.

"Well, I'm going to find out myself then," I say with a half-smirk.

My drowsiness earlier has apparently migrated somewhere and I have been alive again since we got out of the airport. Seeing the beautiful place, the new surroundings, and all these pleasant Filipinos around are overwhelming. They all look so friendly and exude this positive vibes that I have been always a sucker of.

"Are you okay?" David kisses the top of my head as we settle inside the elevator. I cling onto his arm as we are being catapulted up to his floor.

My chest swells at the thought of finally being here, the country that I have always wanted to visit. I'm also excited of what is to come with my relationship with this guy. It's too early to tell but I really like him. He is really sweet and...yeah, he's alright, better than my exes.

I just need to befriend Diana as we will be living under the same roof and I need a best friend too, as I don't know anyone here.

I'm really looking forward to knowing her more. I hope she will like me for her brother. Well, as David has always said, I'm adorable— his words, not mine— so I hope it will also apply to his family, but that would be later as it is still kind of early.

I have to deal with Diana first and judging from my first impression of her, I have a gut feeling that she's kind of interesting.

Thanks for reading!

Sa mga kapwa ko Filipino diyan and Frankiana shippers, how was the first chapter? I finally decided to write this in English instead of Taglish because my followers are mostly from the international community but I will be using some Tagalog words with translations sometimes. Hope you'll be patient for my updates!
