FRANKI'S POV

It's officially my first week here in the Philippines and so far, I'm loving it. David and I had just finished eating our early dinner at a Japanese restaurant in Uptown mall and I feel like my tummy is going to burst any minute from now. He has a photoshoot for a men's fashion magazine near the area but I was not in the mood to tag along. I just wanted to go home and sleep.

What's new to that?

I was able to convince him to drop me home because I told him that I have diarrhea. In that way, he wouldn't be able to say "no". Oh my gosh, I'm so smart.

The little wince in his face when I told him that I cannot hold it a little longer anymore was adorable. He tried to persuade me to release everything in one of the mall's toilets but I told him that my ass only approves home toilets so he finally gave in.

I am chuckling in triumph as I finally enter our unit alone. My smile quickly vanishes when the gloomy and quiet ambiance embraces me. Diana's bedroom door is open so I peek into it and swallow hard when I realize that there are no signs of her here, and everywhere.

Oh my gosh. I am alone tonight!

For a moment, I regret going home first. What if there are actually bad and naughty ghosts in here?

My eyes were wide open when I took a quick shower. I'm really afraid to close them because every time I do, there's a monster popping in behind my eyelids.

My goodness, Frances! You're twenty-four already!

This is all Diana's fault. I was so brave to force David to drop me home because I really thought his sister was here!

After brushing my teeth, I quickly change into my comfort clothes and envelope myself with the warm and thick comforter in the bed. One definition of heaven for me is a bed with a thick comforter and blasting cold AC in the room while I pretend to be a fetus.

And now, it's the start of something amazing; sleep.

A rustling noise outside made me open my eyes again. I'm not sure how long I have slept or...was it a nap?

With sleepy eyes sitting on my pale face, I slowly get up from the bed and tiptoe my way out of our bedroom. I'm silently praying that it's Diana or David and not some ghosts or deadly burglars...or worse, rapist. Oh my gawd.

I discreetly peek into her bedroom and finally, I start to breathe properly upon seeing her.

She has her back on me, and she's topless.

She's taking off her bra when I finally speak in a not so soft voice.

"Ooh, nice back you got there, girl. Me likey!"

She jerks around in surprise upon seeing me.

"Gagu!" she curses as immediately grabs the blanket from the bed and covers herself with it like I was some kind of a male pervert ready to devour her alive. Her reaction has sent me bursting out into loud laughter.

"Jesus, Franki. You scared me!" The always calm Diana is absent at the moment. Her chest is visibly heaving and her nostrils are flaring as she gazes at me in disbelief.

I'm still laughing at this moment and judging with the expression in her face, I sound annoying.

"Can you just give me a second while I change?" she requests with a little blush on her face.

"You don't have to be shy, you know. We're both girls here!" I cheerfully tell her as I sit on her bed, still suppressing the urge to laugh more. "Thank God you're here."

She turns her back on me again and I watch her as she rushes to slip on her pajamas.

"I thought you were out with David?" she asks me as she finally turns to face me properly this time.

"I was so tired I went home first."

For some reason, I caught a glimpse of tension on her face. "Diana, you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just really tired from work. We did this really long shoot for the endorsement video that I told you about last time," she answers while scooping her long black hair into her hands and tying them up into a loose ponytail.

"Oh, is that the gadget one?"

Diana is a commercial model here in the Philippines, and it really feels nice that the three of us has a lot of things in common when it comes to career. She and her brother are very good-looking so modeling is one of the best jobs for them. She has also done pageants before and I wonder if she has any plans of joining the prestigious Miss Universe...

"Yeah, it is. We climbed up the hill just to shoot a ten-second scene."

"Talaga? (Really?) Can't wait to see it when it's out!" I bet it's cool, just like her other commercials. This girl is just like her brother. They have a very strong presence on screen. But of course, mine's stronger and cuter!

Diana is just smiling without saying anything. She's always like that.

"Do you want to watch Netflix tonight?" I suggest. My somnolence is gone and I suddenly have the mood to have a girl's night tonight.

She stares at me for a few seconds before giving me an approving smile. "Why not?"

"Great! I'm gonna go make popcorn," I rush out of her room in excitement. Sometimes, I prefer movie nights at home than parties. I mean...I'm so done with those wild nights and stuff when I was younger and all I want right now is to cuddle with the one I love all night and just talk about the most random things before going to sleep...

You mean, with David?

Uhm, yeah. Of course. With him!

I mean...movie nights are nice ways to spend your vacation. The three of us have already watched movies together for like three nights in a row and I really enjoyed it.

This time, it would only be me and my boyfriend's sister so I'll take this opportunity to get even closer to her.

After making stovetop popcorn, I go over the couch and turn the TV on. Diana hasn't come out of the room yet so I started browsing cool movies on Netflix.

"The Perfection" seems interesting. I grab the bowl of popcorn, lean back on the couch and start watching it.

"Diana! The movie's up! Where are you?" I lazily exclaim after popping a single kernel in my mouth.

"Almost done!" she bellows from her room. After a few more minutes, she finally emerges into the living room.

"What are you watching, Franki?"

"The title's "The Perfection" and I don't know what is this all about. It's the first one on the list." I answer.

"Haven't heard of that too."

"Turn the lights off now and let's find it out together. Come!" I tap the space next to me.

After shutting the lights off, she then throws herself on the couch beside me and I inch closer to her without leaving any gap. Her faint sweet smell reaches my nose again, and I really like it.

She then starts picking some popcorns from the bowl on my lap and concentrate on the movie.

"Are they really rivals? The black one seems to have a crush on her," I comment minutes later into the movie. It's about a troubled cellist and a new star pupil, a beautiful black one and they seem to be rivals or something.

"Maybe it's just her way of gaining her trust," Diana infers with her eyes fixed on the screen.

The black girl drags the main character into a club and they start dancing...closely.

"Do you love to party, Diana?" I turn to her and my eyes linger on her lips that slowly forms into a shadow of her signature smile.

"Yes, I do. My friends and I often go to bars and nightclubs in BGC."

"Oh, wow! Wish I can tag along sometimes?"

"Sure," she shortly replies.

"Oh my gosh, look! Look!" I exclaimed while pointing at the screen when the two female leads start kissing each other. "They're actually lesbians! Oh my gosh! I swear to God I didn't see that one coming!"

I am so hyped up right now. Diana is just quiet as if she's not surprised.

"Oop—That's hot!" I comment again when both women start to have these intimate scenes.

"Right, Diana?" I turn to her again. She's just wrinkling her nose and squinting her eyes as she watches the unholy scene.

"Yeah, they look good together." she flatly comments as she munches on her popcorn.

The scene made me recollect those thoughts of mine before. I sometimes wonder how it would feel like to kiss another girl. Sure, I have kissed like three of my female friends before but it was just a pure smack and nothing deep...

My thoughts are interrupted when the shorter girl starts becoming sick inside the bus. They are heading toward some adventure in a province in China after having a night together.

"Oh my gosh eww?" I grimace and hold onto Diana's arm as the girl starts throwing up a yellow thing inside the bus.

"Relax, Franki. It's not real. It's just a movie." Diana pacifies me with a small chuckle.

"Oh my God, are those bugs?!" I feel like I am crushing her soft arm already but bless her beautiful soul for not complaining even once.

I bury my face in her neck when the black girl is about to poop inside the bus and I think it's explosive diarrhea.

But wait...Diana smells really good!

"Is it done? What's happening, Diana?!" I am literally yelling against her skin.

"It's fine now, Franki. Come on, open your eyes now," she says while soothingly tapping my back.

I slowly turn to the television and involuntarily scream when bugs crawl out of the black woman's skin. I shove myself closer into Diana, wrapping my arms around her and burying my face in her chest this time.

My forehead creases when I notice something. I look up at her and flash her a grin. "You have a really soft pair of boobies, Diana."

"Ano? (What?)" she leans back on the couch as she looks down at me.

"I said I like your boobs," I am about to cup them but Diana suddenly folds her arm to shield her chest from me.

"Y-you're weird," she mumbles while slowly shaking her head.

"Sorry," I say and burst into laughter.

And now I can't stop it. I mean, she looks so virginal right now with the way she leans her body away from me like I'm some perverted old man and it amuses me.

"Okay, that's enough. You're being too loud na ha. Let's get into the movie now..."

"Okay, sorry. It's just that...you look funny."

She playfully rolls her eyes at me while smiling and returns it on the screen then.

We became silent and serious during the second half of the movie. It was actually pretty intense as the two female leads embark down into a sinister path. The happenings are really unpredictable but exciting, and I feel sorry for Diana's left arm by now. I am generally a touchy and reactive person that I have to tap someone beside me on my every reaction.

Right when the movie ends, Diana immediately gets up and stretches her arms.

"Awesome movie," she says after yawning.

"Where are you going?"I pout my lower lip as I look up at her.

"Going to sleep na. Sorry, I'm just really tired."

"I thought we're going to watch two movies?" I really need someone with me right now until David comes home.

"You can watch alone, Franki." she sounds kind of stern right now.

I pout at her again but her face is expressionless this time.

Diana is really nice and sweet in general. For the past week, she has been like the mother in this house and has been doing most of the household chores like cooking and cleaning the house.

Last time, she taught me how to cook adobo and while cooking together, I mentally noted every ingredient and the steps, but I'm not sure if I will still remember everything the next time we decide to have it for lunch or dinner.

While following her into her room, she looks back at me and gives me a questioning look.

"Can I sleep with you until David comes?" I fiddle with my thumbs while looking at her as she is about to lay down her bed.

She visibly ponders on my request for a few moments while fixing her eyes intently at me. I suppress myself to giggle at her expression because it was as if my request was a matter of life and death situation. Knowing her for about a week now, she strikes me as one of those people who is not comfortable sleeping with someone beside them, even if it's their lover.

Her beautiful face softens as she sighs after a few seconds.

"Okay," she softly mutters while tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Come here," she taps the precious space on the bed beside her. I softly squeal while immediately sliding into the sheets with her.qa

She faces the other side without saying anything and falls into silence then. My mind is then filled with thoughts as I stare at her back profile.

Ah, this woman is different from all of my female friends before. She's so nice and accommodating and at the same time, aloof and mysterious. I feel like she has a lot of stories to tell, and I think one of the things that can open her up is alcohol.

We really need to go to a party soon so I have to convince David about it. Or...Or...we can have a drinking session in Boracay next week!

Ooh, I am so excited!

"Goodnight, Diana." I sweetly tell her while hugging her pillow tight.

It took about half a minute before she finally responds in a soft voice,

"Goodnight, Franki."
