CHAPTER THREE

RIGHT AFTER taking a shower, Wynter chose to wear her black circle skirt partnered with a midnight blue tube, black and gold jacket, and blue flats.

"Yep! Simple," Wynter commented while looking at her life-sized mirror. Then she grabbed her phone before leaving her unit and knocking on Dan's unit.

Nang bumukas ang pinto, bumungad sa kanya si Mike. "Hmm... Fresh from the shower." Pinapasok ni Mike si Wynter, and since 'di naman sila makikita ni Dan na nasa kusina. Mabilis na hinalikan ni Mike si Wynter na agad din naman niyang sinagot. "You smell so good. It makes me wanna f*ck you right now."

Marahang tinulak ni Wynter si Mike palayo sa kanya. "Calm down. Remember? May kasama tayo."

He took her hand and placed it on his junior. "Tell that to this."

Wynter started caressing his manhood through his jeans when she suddenly stopped. "You better reign your horniness." Mahinang natawa si Wynter bago bawiin ang kamay niya at maglakad papuntang kusina.

"Hey hey hey! Finally! Come on! Kain muna tayo ng hapunan bago uminom." Nagsisimula nang maghain si Daniel kaya naman tinulungan na rin siya nung dalawa.

Tahimik lang silang lahat nang matapos ang pag-aayos at nagsi-upo na sa kanya-kanyang pwesto. The table is for four people, magkatabi sila Dan at Wynter at nasa harap naman ng babae si Mike. After a prayer, they all shared dinner.

"Rice for you, señorita." Nilagyan ni Dan ng kanin si Wyn sa plato, at bago pa makuha ni Dan ang bowl ng ulam, naunahan na siya ni Mike.

"Dinner wouldn't be complete without viand." Nilagyan naman ni Mike ng karne at gulay ang plato ni Wyn.

"Welp, thank you guys pero seryoso, kaya ko ang sarili ko." Mahinang natawa si Wynter bago magsimulang kumain.

Habang naghahapunan ay nagk-kwentuhan ang tatlo tungkol sa high school at college life nila.

"Alam niyo bang anlaki ng issue niyo noon sa classroom dahil may personal secretary si Mike?" pagk-kwento ni Dan.

"Secretary na hindi sine-swelduhan. Andami mong utang sa akin, Mike," pag-arte ni Wynter na ikinatawa ni Dan.

"No no no. Remember? Kapag naman nagpapagawa ako sayo noon, ayaw mong nagpapabayad ng pera?" depensa naman ni Mike.

"That's because hindi ako sanay. And I'm not confident with my output."

"Come on, Emy. Magpapagawa ba nang magpapagawa sayo si Mike ng projects niya kung 'di ka magaling gumawa?" pagtatanggol ni Dan kay Mike.

"Malamang! Libre lang ang projects niya, kaya syempre uulit siya nang uulit. Andaya kaya." At nagtawanan silang tatlo.

Ang buong hapunan ay puno ng tawanan at pagbabalik ng nakaraan nilang tatlo. Kahit papaano, nakatulong na naging magkakaibigan sila noon para mawala ang pagiging asiwa nila sa isa't isa.

Nang matapos nila ang pagkain ay nagsalitang muli si Dan. "Tara na. Liligpitin ko na muna ito tapos mauna na kayo sa sala. We're gonna start drinking!"

Naka-dim lang ang ilaw ni Dan sa sala at nakaharap ang sofa sa bintana, kaya naman maganda ang tanawin na nakikita nila Mike at Wynter.

"What was your problem earlier? Was it about her again?" pago-open ni Wynter sa topic habang nakatingin pa rin silang dalawa sa labas.

"Mmm-hmm... Siya pa rin. I heard this morning that she's now in a relationship and I couldn't bear the pain, so I drank." Tumingin si Mike kay Wyn. "That's why I needed you. I needed to divert my attention." Bumalik sa bintana ang tingin niya.

"Hmm... What are FuBus for? Pero sana sinabihan mo 'ko agad." Wyn reached for the bottle of beer before getting the opener and having her drink.

"Nah, it's fine. Na-distract niyo na rin naman ni Dan yung utak ko eh."

And silence took over them while drinking and waiting for Dan.

"Hey hey hey! Simula na tayo!" Kumuha si Dan ng dalawang bottles ng beer para sa kanila ni Mike bago umupo sa single sofa na nasa kanan ni Wyn. "Nauna nang uminom ang only girl." Natawa siya sa sinabi niya.

"Ang babagal niyong kumilos eh," pang-aasar ni Wyn.

"Lo siento, señorita." Dan raised his bottle. "For a successful future—I mean present na pala natin."

Both Wyn and Mike copied Dan's actions and said, "A successful present." Before all three of them finish the beer inside the bottles.

"Hay grabe! I wasn't expecting a moment like this to happen," salita ni Dan.

"What moment?" Mike asked bago tuluyang sumandal sa sofa.

"A moment where the three of us are drinking altogether and chatting about the past."

"Welp, ako rin. I also can't believe that this is happening." Wyn took another three bottles and distributed them.

"Nagkakasama lang naman tayong tatlo noon kung pagti-tripan ka namin ni Dan sa classroom or magja-jamming tayong tatlo eh," kwento ni Mike.

"Totoo 'yun. Those moments plus choir practices since magkakaklase tayong tatlo, tayo rin ang madalas ma-excuse for choir," dagdag ni Wyn.

"Hail to the choir president." Nagkunwari pang sumasamba si Dan kaya namang pinatulan ni Wyn at tumayo para mag-bow bago muling umupo.

Nakailang bote na sila nang tamaan sila ng alak.

"Ang pinaka-weird na na-experience ko naman sa school ay yung mahuli ko si Mike na nagpapa-bl*w job sa loob ng classroom." Tawa nang tawa si Dan. Bigla namang nanahimik ang dalawa. And when Wynter thought that Dan would drop the topic, he looked at her. "You read erotic stories, right, Emy?"

"Yes and I also watch erotic movies. And listen to erotic songs, why ask?" Uminom na naman si Wynter.

"Hmm... just curious." Dan smiled. "Anyways, wanna play a game?"

"Depends on what game." Lumapit si Mike ng upo kay Wyn at pasimpleng hinawakan ang hita nito. Hindi naman 'yun nakatakas kay Dan kaya napangiti ito.

"How about Dirty Never Have I Ever? but with a twist of course."

"Twist? Don't tell me the person will remove a piece of clothing?" Napangiti naman ang dalawang lalake sa sinabi ni Wyn. "Oh, I think I guessed right. Sure." Both men weren't expecting Wynter to approve the twist, that's why it took them seconds before they functioned well. "I'll start... Never have I ever..." Wyn thought of something dirty and hot. "...role played."

Bahagyang nagulat si Wynter nang makitang nagtanggal ng shirt si Dan.

"What? We explored our s*x life and she wanted to be cuffed in bed as my criminal." Kinindatan ni Dan si Wynter. 'Di naman napigilan ni Wyn na i-appreciate ang katawan ni Dan. F*ck, that's six, bilang ni Wyn sa abs ni Dan. "My turn... hmm..." Tiningnan ni Dan sina Mike at Wynter. "Never have I ever had a friend with benefits." Both Wyn and Mike smirked before removing their top. "Sabay pa talaga ha." Natawa si Dan.

Parehong napatingin ang dalawang lalake sa black laced bra ni Wynter. "Don't enjoy too much, boys. We still have a game." It was Wyn's turn to chuckle.

"Never have I ever... received a lap dance." Wynter and Dan gave Mike a doubting look. "What? Legit yan."

"Hmm... I doubt that, pero..." Tiningnan ni Wyn si Mike. "...wanna receive one now?" Mike gulped before looking down at Wyn's breasts.

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

"O-Okay..."

Biglang tumayo si Dan at lumapit sa Bluetooth speakers niya para ikonekta ang phone nito, then seconds later, Pony started playing.

Akala ni Mike ay si Wyn ang sasayaw kaya ganon na lang ang tawa niya nang makitang nagma-macho dance si Dan papalapit sa kanya. "Swerte mo naman, Mike. Ako ang una mong lap dance." At sabay na tumawa sina Wyn at Mike habang gumigiling din Dan sa hita ni Mike. "Ayoko na nga! Ang sagwa!" Tuluyan na nga silang tumawang tatlo. "Next next!"

"Tanggal muna ng damit, Dan, Wyn," reklamo ni Mike, napailing ang dalawa bago nagtanggal ng pambaba. Dan was left with his boxers and Wyn with her underwear.

"Game! Never have I ever..." Wynter looked at Mike, she wanted it to be fair for all of them in the room so she said the thing she knew about Mike. "...called my partner in bed, master." Mike gave Wyn a glare before removing his pants, leaving him in his boxers.

"Seriously, Mike? As in? Ikaw? Sub?" 'Di makapaniwala si Dan sa nakita. "And your master, if you don't mind me asking, was?"

Dahil na ata sa tama ng alak, lumingon si Wynter kay Dan habang hawak hawak ang bote ng beer. "That would be me."

Dan let out a chuckle. "Why am I not even surprised?"

Mike groaned before looking at Wynter. "Ubos na yung beer, kuha ka pa sa ref ni Dan."

"Maka-utos ka parang bahay mo ah," Wynter playfully commented.

Natawa naman si Dan saka tumingin kay Wyn. "Would you mind getting the beer before we continue the game?"

Wynter rolled her eyes. "Fine." She stood up and walked proudly towards the kitchen, flexing her hourglass body.

Daniel and Mike shared a knowing look when Wynter reached the kitchen. Just like what Wynter assumed, something fun would definitely happen that night.
