FRANKI'S POV

To be honest, I didn't really care about David when I was in the hotel with Diana. I have completely forgotten about everyone else as I have only focused on my own little world with my boyfriend's sister. She really makes me happy and I am literally in pure bliss whenever I am with her. 

While walking through the hallway on our way back to David's condo unit, Diana removes her arm around my shoulders and takes a deep, audible breath. I can feel her nervousness as we finally stand in front of the door, and it is making me uneasy.

It just then dawned on me that it's time to face reality. My reality...which is David Mackey, her very own brother.

"Oh my gosh, my gums are so tingly right now. I'm getting scared again, Diana!" I freak out. 

"Don't worry, it's just my brother. Leave it to me," she assures me as she lovingly pinches my chin. I'm not sure if this woman has some sort of magic because her small gesture has made me feel relieved in an instant. There's really something about her that always makes me feel...at peace... every time.

I sweetly lean my head on her shoulder as a response. She then presses on the doorbell twice and I am holding my breath as we wait for it to be opened. I can already feel David's exasperation through the door and I'm scared...I'm scared that they will fight because of me!

Enjoy now, cry later, Franki huh?

I cock my head in confusion when Sky opened it instead.

"Hey...Sky!" Diana acknowledges, obviously surprised at their childhood best friend's presence. Okay, I didn't expect to see this k-pop guy again.

"D...Franki!" he beams out as he gives us both a quick hug. Both of us didn't check our messages this morning so this might be the reason why he has been calling too.

"It's so nice seeing you again, Sky!" I exclaim, slightly glad to see him again for some reason. He looks so fresh in his dyed blonde hair and striped sailor undershirt. Is it just me or he looked gayer than before?

"Where's David?" Diana asks as she looks around behind him. My heartbeat then races upon seeing him sitting on the couch while wearing his familiar, fuming face.

Oh my God, I know that face...he's literally mad and I'm scared!

You sneaked out with his sister yesterday, like literally, and has been constantly ignoring his calls. Why wouldn't he be mad?

"Baby!" I show myself up from behind Diana as he gets up from the couch, but I immediately step back the moment he walks up toward us. His dark face is scaring me!

"Where the fuck did you bring her?!" he surprisingly growls at his own sister, making me grip Diana's shirt tight behind her in sudden fear.  He seriously looks like he is about to punch her on her face and my heart bounces even wilder against my ribcage.

My head starts to spin in panic when Diana steps back with the fear from her body flowing towards mine. The thought of someone hurting her has made all the blood rush to my head in panic. 

David finally looms over us but before he could even land a finger on her, I automatically jump out from behind her and wrap my arms around his neck. He is obviously taken aback as he almost lost his balance. 

Before he could even react, I hold his head in my hands and seal his lips with mine. 

He takes a sharp intake of breath as I force his lips to open. I am confused for a second because his breath smells like Chinese food, and as far as I can remember, he hates it... 

David finally recovers and we engage in an awkward, French kiss. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer against his body as his tongue makes its way inside my mouth and for a moment, I feel disgusted. I'm not sure if it is because of the weird aftertaste of what he ate or it's something else. At this point, my mind is a blur. I don't know how I managed to do this in front of Diana. I pull away all of a sudden and subtly wipe his saliva from my lips. Fearing that he might feel offended, I tiptoe again and fondly caress his cheek.

"I miss my Davey..." I softly say in a shaky, hoarse voice with the goal of calming him down. His face immediately softens as he fondly places his hand over mine while closing his eyes. 

A soft squeal comes out of my mouth as I jerk to the sudden sound of a door slamming. I whip around and realize that Diana has already walked out and shuts herself down in her bedroom.

Oh no!

"What's her problem?" Sky's worried voice got my face crumpling in an intense dilemma. David plops himself back down the couch and heaves a deep sigh as he wears his annoyed face again.

"Where the fuck did you two go last night?!" he growls at me. Obviously, the magic of my kiss has already vanished.

Ugh, should I go to the bedroom and pacify Diana or should I make it up to David to cool him down? I'm really worried that he will hurt his sister...

Diana once told me that David punched him in her face when they were in high school and she got her nose bleeding because of that. It only happened once and David profusely asked for her forgiveness and made it up to her. They were good after that because it was just the normal sibling war but it somehow left her a little trauma, and I don't want it to happen to her again...

Oh my, Frances. What have you gotten yourself into?

"M-Maybe she's just tired, Sky. We had a surprise party for one of her friends last night and she still has a hangover." I try my best to be casual as I explain but I bet I look like I constipated kitten. I am very bad at lying and it is my weakness but this time, I was able to gather all the courage just to save our ass.

"I guess I will go talk to her then," Sky informs as he heads to Diana's bedroom. I am about to volunteer myself instead but I stop midway when I realize that I have to make it up to David first before dealing with her. I will let Sky pacify her this time...just this time.

"It will only take a second to reply to my messages or at least answer my calls! I was so damn worried about you!" David roars with gritted teeth when we were finally left alone in the living room. "Diana is also ignoring my calls! The fuck happened to you two?!" He is enraged again.

I take the courage to sit on his lap and wrap my arms around his neck. He leans back and sighs as he gazes up at me with hurt transparent in his eyes.

"Babe, are you mad at me?" I softly ask while pouting my lips at him but he just turns his face away and grabs the remote instead from one corner of the couch.

"I'm sorry for not informing you, okay? Please don't be mad. It was my fault... I forgot to tell you about it and Diana has nothing to do with this." I explain while looking deep into his eyes.

"She's not a good influence on you," he utters in a stern voice which kind of triggered me. Diana understands everything about me and she is the only one who can make me feel genuinely good!

"Why do you say that? What do you think of me? A baby who is not allowed at parties? I just want to have some fun, babe." It feels weird calling him "babe" now.

He finally looked into my eyes with a softer expression this time. "It's not like that. You could have at least informed me. You made me so damn worried!" 

"Okay, okay...I'm sorry. But please, just leave Diana out of this. She waited for me in the basement yesterday and she had no idea that I left this unit without telling you."

He only exhales in frustration as he looks away again.

"I'm sorry, okay?" I insist while closely peering into his face, jutting out my lower lip this time. He pulls out a "tsk" sound before trying to shove me away from him, prompting me to force myself to give him another peck on his lips. 

Was that really necessary, Frances?

I caught a hint of some Chinese food on his breath again. He seemed to soften down by it again. We then both turn to the bedrooms' direction when Sky and Diana suddenly came out while giggling over something.

I immediately get off of Dave's lap and sit beside him instead to avoid further jealousy from Diana's side. He then leans back while holding out the remote in front of him, casually browsing through the TV channels.

"Seriously, D, that habit of yours only comes out whenever I'm around," Sky comments as he chuckles.

Habit? What habit?

"Because you're my favorite, and you know that, Sky." Diana sweetly responds before pinching Sky's nose as she laughs.

Favorite? What favorite?

My chest heaves all of a sudden. What the fuck is happening?

My widened eyes focus on Diana as I wait for her to look back at me. She casually glances in our direction and I try to catch her eyes but she deliberately ignored me. She then heads to the kitchen area with Sky following behind her like a stupid dog.

 I just then realized that it's already eight in the evening and I'm hungry.

"So...where's the Chinese food? I'm starving already," I ask David who is now calmly watching the latest football match on the television.

"What Chinese food?" he answers while his eyes are still glued on the screen.

I turn to him and lean closer to his face, "You didn't buy anything?" 

He turns to me for a brief second then averts his gaze away before answering my question with a soft "No."

Okay, I am kind of confused right now because I swear I tasted fried dumplings on his lips...

So...which one are you going to make a big deal? Diana or whatever David ate?

Right...Why am I bothered about this? 

I observe Diana instead as she handles the kitchen so well, preparing our dinner for tonight. I want to talk to her and tell her that I'm sorry for kissing her brother in front of her because I swear to God she is jealous. I can't wait to sneak into her bedroom later and fuck her for her forgiveness.

I am about to stand to join her in the kitchen when Sky suddenly appears from my view. He is all out smiling as he positions himself behind her. I lift my chin up as my eyebrow raises automatically the moment he wraps his arms around her waist, back hugging her like he is her damn boyfriend.

Excuse me?

I took a sharp intake of breath as he then leans his chin on her shoulder while watching her mix something on the bowl.

A short, surprised squeal comes out my mouth when I felt Dave's hand on mine.

"What are you thinking?"

My mind reels for a second before answering him,

"N-nothing." I scoot closer to him and hug his arm. "Are you still mad at me babe?" I then lean my chin on his shoulder as I look up at him.

He playfully rolls his eyes as he sighs. "Look at you...Who would stay mad at you?" he sweetly says as he places his arm over my shoulder to pull me closer against him. I am now relieved by the fact that he has finally calmed down but when I looked back at the kitchen area, I caught Diana's eyes looking at our direction at the last second.

Shit.

Franki, you should start to take lessons on Balancing 101.

"Okay, so I'm really starving," I say out loud in my thick, heavy accent as I head towards the kitchen. I bend down and lean my folded arms on the counter across her, purposely showing off my cleavage. Glimpses of our love-making again enter my mind and I so want to glue myself to her right now. I think I am now having this chronic itch to feel her warmth and the softness of her body...

I need her body contact right now.

"What are you preparing, Diyunuh? It looks yum..." I ask her, emphasizing the last word while I gaze into her beautiful face, waiting to have eye contact with her. 

She then looked at me for a brief second but didn't answer me. She just continues slicing some tomatoes on the chopping board.

"Just a simple boiled egg dish, Franki. You will love this." Sky butts in while helping her out by chopping some onions beside her. 

Ugh. Seriously, what is he doing here? He is so irrelevant!

He then starts blinking hard as he tears up because of the onion.

"Stop crying, Sky. I will stop being masungit (ill-tempered) to you from now on," Diana teases with a smile.

"Talaga ba? Hindi ka na magsusungit sa akin?  (Really? You will not be grumpy to me anymore?)" Sky asks her which I didn't understand because he said it in Tagalog.

"Yes po. I promise." Diana replies as she gives him her chinky smile...one of my favorite smiles of her.

 Okay, someone should fucking calm me down right now because they are seriously flirting in front of me.

I lean closer to her to ask for the translation but she suddenly turns around, purposely to avoid me but at that exact moment, Sky also turns his head to face her...

and their lips accidentally touch.

I just then find myself squealing loud at what I have witnessed.

"What happened?!" David bellows from the living room.

"Kisses!" I exclaim while backing away in jealousy. With the muscles in my jaw tensing, I just watch Diana wipe her arm on her lips as she chuckles in amusement.

"It was just an accidental kiss, David," Sky explains with a disgusted look in his face as he jokingly gags.

"Nice one, Bro!" Dave stands up and finally heads to the dining table as the three of them continue to make fun of the accidental kiss.

I am just looking at Diana, waiting for her to send me an apology or explanation through her eyes but she really is ignoring me and I so want to cry right now...

Torrid kiss versus accidental kiss? You did worse, Franki. So calm your ass down right there and wait for her to talk to you later.

I pout my lips in disappointment and choose to join Dave on the table instead. Moments later, Sky and Diana finally join us with their prepared dinner. I am expecting her to sit beside me or adjacent from me but she instead sits across.

My gosh, she really is jealous! She can't even look at me! How do you do this? I mean, I don't know how to deal with a woman's jealousy...This is my first time, you know, and I think I'm also jealous?

You're a hundred percent doomed, Frances.

"I really miss Tita Rowena. (Mrs. Rowena). It has been like three years since I visited your house!" Sky chimes in as we finally start to eat.

"Well, I bet she'll ask you if you're married already," David answers him.

"Well, Diana's still single so..." Sky nonchalantly shrugs his shoulder and I so want to pick up my ceramic, empty plate and break it right onto his fucking face.

Relax...He's gay, remember?

How can we be sure? There are a lot of metrosexual men!

I try to divert the topic instead.

"So...how many hours is the travel time to Cabatown?"

A corner of my lips curves up into a questioning smile when both guys suddenly burst out laughing, like really hard and loud.

"Why? Did I say something wrong?"

"It's Cabanatuan, Franki." Diana finally looks into my eyes as she corrects the name of their hometown, and I got "kilig" for some reason. 

"Sorry babe, you're just too cute with all your pronunciations," Dave comments as he pinches my chin, prompting Diana to look away and wear her bitch face again. I don't know why but I find her hotter in that...

I am starting to feel hot southward my body again. It's only like an hour when we last had sex but I am feeling the need to feel her lips all over my body once again. I just need these two irrelevant men out of this unit and then we will make it up to each other...real good.

David suddenly flicks his finger in front of me. It has then occurred to me that I am actually gawking at his sister at this moment.

"Babe, are you okay?"

"I'm sorry. I'm just...nervous about finally meeting your mom tomorrow." I reply to him. Diana then suddenly clears her throat before drinking her water.

"Don't worry. I am sure she'll like you. Just be yourself, okay?" Dave assures me as he holds my hand on the table. My eyes then met Diana's serious ones as she holds the glass of water into her mouth. I find myself pressing my thighs hard against each other with that penetrating gaze of hers...

I cock my head and raise my eyebrow at her, trying to tell her that there's nothing to be jealous about but she again reverts to talking to Sky about some girl that they met a few years back. Sky shows a picture of that girl on his phone and I can't help but be curious because of the excitement in Diana's face.

"Sino yan? Sino yaann? (Who's that)" I desperately ask as I lean forward over the table to take a peek but the two continue to talk about the girl as if I don't exist.

"It's nothing, babe. Finish your food so we can go to sleep. We have to wake up early for tomorrow." Dave pulls me back down on my chair.

I can't concentrate on my food, really. Diana is constantly ignoring me and it hurts. I try to brush my foot against hers under the table for a little footsy to get her attention, only to pout in frustration when she lifts her chair and scoots closer to Sky.

I can't take this anymore. I think I just lost my mood and appetite. 

I get up from my seat without finishing my food.

"Are you done?" Dave looks up at me, worrying.

"I think I'm full," I reply in a serious tone. I check on Diana's expression but she really is concentrating on Sky and seems to not care about me. 

I then head to the living room and throw my heavy body on the couch. I start to browse for some feel-good romantic movies on the television to compose myself. I then hug the couch pillow as my eyes darts over their direction to check on Diana's expression, but she really is acting like I am not existing right now.

What the F? I hate this! I fucking want to throw tantrums all over this place right now!

After eating, David goes back to our room for a quick shower while Diana immediately heads to the sink after taking our used plates. Sky immediately follows her and the two start to flirt over the dirty dishes, with him rinsing all the plates that Diana has cleaned.

While discreetly observing them across the room, I grit my teeth hard as they start giggling again. Sky is currently blowing the bubbles from the dishwashing liquid toward Diana's face and it is so fucking irritating to look at!

Moments later, Diana's phone starts ringing. She excuses herself and wipes her hand with the kitchen towel before answering it. 

Okay, my supersonic ears are ready.

"Vee, hi!" she finally answers while smiling, and I gulp hard in tension when I heard that name...

Uh-oh... 

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry, I got really busy..." she trails off while finally meeting my prying eyes across the room. I raise an eyebrow at her, giving her some kind of warning but...

"Yeah, I miss you too."

I—Oop! 

Okay, that's it. I'm fucking outta here! 

With heavy steps, I thump my way back to our bedroom and slammed the door really hard.
