NALILITO si Frances kung sino ang una niyang haharapin. May labing tatlo na nag gwa-gwapuhan na lalaki ang nag-aaway away, the three were holding a new born baby. Frances was worried for the babies, sinubukan niyang umawat pero pinigilan lang siya ni Dylan at inginuso ang tatlong babae na papunta sa direction nila.

Napatanga si Frances nang makalapit na ang tatlong babae. They're all so pretty. Halata sa mga mukha nito na may kaya sila sa buhay. The way they walk screams power, and Frances won't denied that she felt intimidated.

"Jyrelle Vraxx Clemente! Our daughter!" Sigaw ng isang babae. "Ano na naman bang pinagkakaguluhan niyo at nasa gate kayong lahat? At ikaw na lalaki ka! Sumali ka pa talaga sa kaguluhan ng mga yan, alam mo naman na hawak hawak mo ang anak mo!" nilapitan nito ang isang lalaki na may hawak na bata. The next thing Frances knew the woman was already pulling the poor man ear.

"Mia bella! Ouch! That hurts!" daing nito.

"They stopped arguing?" she whispered. Inakbayan siya ni Dylan.

"They are all scared to that woman." Dylan said and pointed the woman who's still having an argument with her husband. Perhaps?

"Oh? Dylan..." nanlaki ang mga mata nito nang makita siya. The beautiful woman started to walk on her direction, she was smiling widely. "Hi, my name is Isabella Fontanilla Clemente. Welcome to Lust community!" she beamed at her.

"I-I'm..." Frances gulped.

"It's okay baby, Isabella won't eat you alive." bulong sa kanya ni Dylan.

"Mukha ba akong aswang?" pabirong tanong ni Isabella sa kanya, the woman scratch her head. "Natakot yata kita kanina, don't worry I'm only like that when it comes to them. They're sometimes pain in the ass." Tinuro niya ang mga lalaki na nasa likuran nito. Frances mouth parted a bit, they really went silent.

"Sorry, I'm just... shy." she uttered. Frances cleared her throat and offer her hand. "I'm Frances Agape Dizon."

"Nice to finally meet you, Frances." Isabella smiled warmly at her. After shaking her hand, humarap si Isabella sa mga lalaki na ngayon ay pasipol sipol nalang. Habang ang mga may kargang bata ay nagsitabihan. "Okay boys! Tama na ang pagiging isip bata niyo, palagi nalang kayong nakikipag unahan!" she shouted.

"Hindi ako kasama." tanggi nang isa na may suot na Doctors robe.

"Me neither." the man crossed his arms over his chest, Frances gulped. Hapit na hapit ang suot nitong leather jacket sa katawan.

"Hindi pa ba sapat ang katawan ko?" bulong ni Dylan sa kanya. Mabilis siyang bumaling sa fiancee niyang nakasimangot sa kanya. Frances chuckled and give Dylan a peck of kiss on his lips.

"Agape means unconditional love." The pregnant woman said and smirked at Dylan. "I'm Shawn Alyssa Marie Walter. Nice to meet you!" the woman beamed at her.

"Nice to meet you too." Frances smiled.

"Hi, Angelyn Miller. Wala ang panganay ko ngayon, I heard that you love playing with kids. We're planning to open a school, I'm sorry if I open it, pero kulang kasi kami sa tao." Mala anghel na ngumiti sa kanya ang babae.

Sino ang tatanggi sa ganito kagandang ngiti?

"I ahm... Sure. May experience naman ako sa pagtuturo." thanks to her sidelines when she's still in college.

"Great!" Nakipag apir ito sa buntis.

"Okay na kayo? Kami naman!" reklamo ng isang lalaki na ikinatawa niya.

Dylan possessively wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Her cheeks flushed. Some of Dylan's friends dropped their jaw, not literally, and some were just smirking and teasing Dylan. Ang tatlong babae naman ay nakangiti lang silang pinagmamasdan.

"Gago neto, di naman aagawin!" sumama ang mukha ng isang lalaki kay Dylan. But when he looked at her, he gave her a jaw dropping smile. "Hi, I'm Castiel, the Engineer. Baka may kaibigan ka na mahilig sa Engineer? Reto mo ako." nagtaas baba ang kilay nito.

"I only have one friend. And it's a he. Reto pa rin ba kita? Hindi naman choosy si Kiel." inosenteng sabi nito sa kanya. Dylan covered her mouth using his hand, while the Castiel eyes widened and stayed rooted in his place.

"Baby, Castiel don't do man to man." Dylan whispered.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA gago! Bud, look at this!"

Nag-umpisa nang magkagulo ang mga lalaki, Castiel is still shocked. Thanks to her.

"Caleb, the Doctor." the man offered his hand, agad 'yon inabot ni Frances. "If you need anything, Bud. Just beep my phone. I need to go, Nice to meet you." ngumiti ito sa kanya bago lumabas.

"Hi, Ryker." hindi na ito nag offer nang kamay. "I'm sorry about this idiot. Don't worry about him, ako na ang bahala." he smirked before grabbing Castiel's collar from the back and pulled him somewhere.

"Is he going to be okay?" tanong niya kay Dylan. Castiel may be remain unmoving, pero may pakiramdam pa naman ito. And Ryker was pulling him from the back, kulang na nga lang ay masakal si Castiel sa klase ng paghila nito sa collar ng suot na polo ni Castiel.

"Don't know." Dylan shrugged.

"Hey lover boy! Can we steal Frances?" nakangiting tanong ni Angelyn, kumunot ang noo niya nang makita sa likuran ni Angelyn si Shawn at Isabella.

"Yeah sure. Ako na muna sa anak mo, where's Kyst?" tanong ni Dylan habang kinukuha sa bisig ni Angelyn ang baby na hawak nito. Frances heart skipped a beat.

Dylan carrying a baby in his arms. Hit different. Maingat ito sa paghawak sa bata, he was even caressing the baby's head. For Frances, wala nang mas magandang tanawin sa nakikita niya ngayon.

"Yes! Tara sa kusina ni Yves! Maraming pagkain doon!" hyper na sabi ni Isabella at agad na ipinalupot ang kamay nito sa braso niya. Habang ang kamay naman ni Shawn ang nakapalupot sa kabilang braso niya.

"Sayang wala si Sakki. She wants to meet you, ang kaso wala ngayon ang bebe niya. Hindi din namin madala dito, busy sa wedding gown ko." agad na daldal ni Shawn sa kanya.

A while ago, she feel intimidated by these woman. But they're warm and fun to be with.

"Sakkiyuri is Alistair girlfriend." Angelyn informed her.

"Umiinom ka ba ng milk tea?" tanong sa kanya ni Isabella. Agad na tumango si Frances, it's been a while since she tasted one. "Good! Mahilig sa milk tea ang mother in law ko, I'm not really into it at first, kaso pinaglihian ko. Ayon, nahiligan ko na din."

"What's your favorite? Mine is Strawberry." Frances said.

"Bummer. I love honeydew, wala kaming stock ng strawberry." Isabella pouted.

"Kayo?" tanong ni Frances sa dalawa pa nilang kasama. Frances hide her smile when she saw Isabella pulling the chair and guide Shawn to sit.

"Honeydew. No choice, pinipilit sa amin ng isang 'to." pabirong inirapan ni Shawn si Isabella.

"She drinks it every now and then, so yeah. Masarap naman kaya iniinom na din namin." Angelyn said with her very soft voice. Para siyang hinehele sa boses nito.

"Hindi ka pa ba diabetic?" nakakunot noong tanong ni Frances. Shawn and Angelyn chuckled.

"Hindi pa naman kami diabetic!" sabay sabay nilang sagot. Nasapo ni Frances ang bibig, but she still burst out laughing. Napakababaw ng kaligayahan niya but the three ladies laugh too.

"We should visit Sakki." Shawn suggested.

"I want to meet her too!" parang bata niyang singit.

Isabella pinched her cheeks and mess her hair. "Sure little lady, magkakasundo kayo nang isang 'yon. Mukha lang matured 'yon pero isip bata din." she said and smiled widely, showing her perfect teeth. Inabot ni Isabella sa kanya ang isang bote, halos kalahati nang laman nito ay pearl.

"Saan kayo nakakabili nito?" she asked after she tasted it. Hindi nga siya ganoon katamis, sakto lang, hindi din ganoon katamis ang pearl. And it's so easy to chew!

"Well, my mother in law passed down her cafe to me. And because we love honeydew milktea so much, dinagdag namin 'yon sa menu, plus sariling recipe namin." Isabella winked at her.

"Really? We're planning to open a milk tea shop too! Pero hindi pa rin decided hanggang ngayon." she open up.

"Maybe you two can merge? So you can guide her? Ako na ang bahala sa mga legal documents niyo. I have some people to do the deed." Shawn offered and smiled.

Bumaling si Frances kay Shawn. "Pero pwede naman kung kami nalang?"

"It's fine, Frances. Siya din ang nag-aasikaso sa legal documents ng School na balak namin ipatayo. Medyo mabagal lang ang usad ngayon kasi ikakasal na yan next month." Ani ni Angelyn.

Shawn smirked and brushed her hair using her fingers, "Darling, I am a Lawyer. Hindi lang halata minsan, pero Lawyer ako." she said while pointing at herself, in Frances point of view, parang kinukumbinsi siya nito na paniwalaan ang sinasabi nito.

Frances smiled and raised her milktea bottle. "Yes! Attorney Walter!"

"Don't call me Attorney Walter in front of my husband, okay? Inggitero ang isang 'yon." umismid muna ito bago sumimsim sa milktea nito.

"Huwag mo na pansinin, masasanay ka rin sa mag-asawa na 'yan!" Isabella tapped her shoulder.

They continue to talk, a serious one. About their business and all. Halos humiwalay ang kaluluwa ni Frances sa katawan niya at magkakalas kalas ang mga buto niya nang malaman kung gaano kayaman si Isabella, she said like it was nothing. Between Dylan and Isabella, Frances can tell that Isabella is far more richer that her fiance!

Pagkatapos nilang mag kwentuhan, inaya na sila ng mga lalaki na kumain sa isang mini bar. Napapangiti nalang si Frances kapag nakikita niyang napipikon si Dylan sa mga kaibigan niya, and sometimes it's the other way around. Lalo na at namimisikal ang fiancee niya. 

"Did you have fun?" Tanong sa kanya ni Dylan. They're now inside his house. Cuddling under his thick blanket, naked.

"Hmm-mm... A lot!" she whispered and buried her face to his chest, she's tired and want to sleep.

"That's good. We're going here whenever you want, from now." Dylan whispered as he play with her hair.

"Dy?"

"Yes?"

"My heart is beating so fast when I'm with you."

Naramdaman niyang natigilan si Dylan. He didn't move, and he stopped breathing. Nag-aalala siyang nag-angat ng tingin dito, umangat ang kamay niya para haplusin ang pisngi nito, at para narin makumpira kung namamalik mata lang ba siya o hindi.

"Why are you crying?" she worriedly ask while wiping the tears from his eyes.

"I'm happy. I am so damn in love with you, Frances Agape." He whispered huskily and kissed her forehead. "We're going to get married after Esel. Uunahan na natin sina Alistair." he chuckled and hug her tightly.

I thanked God that he blessed me with a wonderful man.

If I didn't knock on his door that night, I wonder what will happen to us. Ganito pa rin ba ang kalalabasan? I doubt it. I am probably with another man and he will have another woman in his arm right now. That thought alone can make my blood boil.

"I love you, My Dylan 'Lazy' Cortez." she whispered and gave him the sweetest kissed he'd ever had.
