​

I woke up by the ring of the alarm clock, and Kenny wasn’t beside me anymore. I hate Mondays. Thank goodness, the start of my OJT is still next Monday, and today is the resume of classes. Since, I wouldn’t do anything much today, I decided to stay in school, while Kenny attends his classes, and probably continue working on our thesis prototype. My thesis mates and I haven’t thought about it for quite a while since the last day of the last term before summer. Then I remembered Louis, how could we work on our thesis if he has a grudge on me, then I thought of the others as well.

As I got out of the bedroom, I didn’t any see any sign of Kenny. He probably went to school early to line up for the change of sections in his schedule. I heard a click on the door lock, and Kenny came in his boxer shorts and sweat shirt.

“Good Morning babe, I didn’t wake you up. You were snoring so loud and mumbling in your sleep. So I just bought us our breakfast myself.” He approached and gave me a kiss on the lips before he prepared the table.

“Sorry. Did you have a great sleep?”
“Yeah, your snores are slowly becoming my lullaby.”
“By the way, I was thinking…” He waited for me to continue.
“…I was thinking if maybe we could tell the others about us. You know, getting out the closet.” I was surprised that he just nodded and didn’t refute me. After breakfast, we went to the shower together and started dressing up afterwards. I was becoming more comfortable with myself naked even if he’s there beside. I don’t usually go around without anything even during swimming practices way back in high school. We went to school which is just across the condo. At the side of the engineering building, there is 200 people strong line waiting for the office for adjustments to open. I was relieved that I didn’t have to do that this semester since I’m on my OJT. We met the others at our usually hang out place, and my best friends were already there. I noticed Louis turned away to talk to Iris instead of giving me a high five which we normally do.

“Hey guys.”
“Migs. I still can’t get over the fact that you, Jen, Louis, and Pete would have your OJT this semester and I’m gonna left here alone with the others. Oh how I hate to spend every single day without seeing you.”
“Oh Iris, I would be just across the school after work, and you are always welcome there.”
“Iris, you will be missed. We’ll all go out partying after work.” Pete teased her as usual.
“I will hate you forever Pete!” Louis still didn’t say anything. Jen arrived and before we set off to our thesis room, I gathered all my strength to tell my best friends about myself and Kenny. I looked at Kenny before I spoke.

“Guys, I just want to tell you something…” Kenny squeezed my left arm which gave me more strength to go on with my revelation.

“I’ve wanted to tell you this a long time ago but I didn’t have the courage. I was afraid that you would not accept me. I was afraid to lose you guys. I’m gay.” Then I saw their faces, dumbstruck. I couldn’t blame them for giving such a reaction. Louis, on the other hand, showed his disgust and went away then tears started to fall down my eyes. Jen came to my side to put her arm around my shoulders.

“Migs, it doesn’t matter to me even if you’re gay. What’s important is you’ve been a very good friend to me ever since, and you being gay wouldn’t change that. I’m glad that you opened that up.”
“I agree with Jen. And I’ve always wanted to have a gay friend who I could seek help from whenever I’m having a hard time picking out a dress for a party.” Iris added up. I thought that Pete would walk away but he punched me on the chest with a minimal force just enough to move me an inch backwards.

“I don’t care if you’re gay buddy. You’re still Migs, my best best friend.” And he gave me a wink. I gave all of them a group hug then I heard Kenny cleared his throat.
“Guys, I’d like to add something to Migs’ speech..” But before he could finish Iris butt in.
“Oh my God. Don’t tell me that you’re also gay?!”
“Yes. And I’m Migs’ boyfriend.” He smiled.
“Shit Kenny! I never thought that you have a tendency to like guys. You’re just too hot to be gay. But I’m glad that you and Migs are together. Just don’t make him cry or..”
“I’ll rip you apart.” Pete continued and we all laughed. I kissed Kenny goodbye before Jen, Pete, and I headed to our thesis room. I was still uneasy with Louis being there and I couldn’t even talk to him about anything even if it’s regarding our thesis. Hours have passed and we haven’t spoken to each other even if Jen and Pete tried talking to him.

We decided to stop at lunch time to meet the others at our hang out. Jen left first since his boyfriend Ken is already there waiting for her, until Pete followed when Mich appeared at the door of our thesis room. The air between Louis and I became much colder, which made it harder for me to stay any longer, so picked up my bag. Then he spoke.

“Hey Migs.”
“Yeah?”
“I’m sorry for the actions I showed in the past few days and earlier this morning.”
“It’s ok man. I understand.” Then he came to me and gave me a hug. What surprised me is that he started to cry on my shoulders. I patted his back and asked him why then he broke our embrace.

“You know how I hate gays. But what you didn’t know is that I don’t really hate them because they’re like that. I hate them because I envy them for having the guts and courage to show their true selves to everybody. Not all gay people can do that.”
“I don’t get your point.”
“Migs…. I’m gay.” I was shocked. I couldn’t even say a thing. It was like my brain was smashed with a jackhammer and it can’t be fixed anymore. After all those times we spent together, I didn’t even sense that in him. I hugged him again before we left and promised him not to tell anyone until he’s ready to come out before we went back to our hang out. I let the rest of my friends know about myself and they’re pretty much happy about me and Kenny. While Kenny’s best friends we’re teasing him nonstop if we already hit the sheets.

We need not to worry about holding hands and kissing in front of them. I noticed Joey is missing in action today so I tried to call him but he was not answering my phone calls. It started to make me feel worried about him, I know something is wrong and I don’t like it. I gathered my thoughts to think where he can possibly be at the moment.

“Hey babe. Is there something wrong? Why are you so tensed?”
“Joey.”
“What’s with Joey?”
“He’s not answering my phone calls.” Kenny tried calling Joey as well but it just kept ringing. Then I decided to check if Joey’s car is in the parking lot and I held Kenny’s hand tightly as we walked our way there. From afar, I recognized Joey’s car which seems to have its windows left opened. I ran quickly towards it to check if in case Joey is inside sleeping. All I saw are his bag and wallet on the back seat and the car keys lying on the ground but no sign of Joey at all. Then I leaped backwards as I hear something move inside truck. Kenny shoved me to stand behind his back as we approach the trunk and I grabbed Kenny by the shirt to pull him away if in case something unexpected comes out to hurt us. He lifted up the cover, to our surprise, Joey was lying there with his hands tied together with his feet and his mouth was taped. Kenny and I pulled him out and lay him on the backseat. I set him free from the ropes tied around his hands and feet then took off the thick tape across his mouth. He lay there motionless and unconscious as Kenny drove to the nearest hospital. We tried calling his parents using his cellular phone upon getting him inside the emergency room.

Kenny and I decided to go back to school after his parents arrived to see their son and thank us for saving his life.

“That was close. I thought we’re too late.”
“Me either. I’m starving now babe. Are you?” My stomach grumbled and I realized that my last meal was the breakfast Kenny bought. We agreed on having our dinner at Pasta Plate which is just within the vicinity of the campus since we’re so dead tired to cook something at home. After dinner, we went for a walk around the campus to let time pass by before we headed back to our condo unit. I lay down the bed on my chest beside Kenny with his arms around my waist.

I was walking towards the trunk of Joey’s car to check what is inside of it. Then as the trunk flew open, I was horror struck to see Kenny lying there unconscious. I tried to pat his cheeks to wake him up but it was no use. I screamed for help but nobody is coming. I couldn’t do anything to help him get back to his feet. Then I felt something on my face, it was hitting me repeatedly. I tried to open my eyes, and saw Kenny staring down at me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him to me.

“Babe, are you alright? You’re screaming in your sleep.”
“I had a nightmare and I was so terrified. I was helpless.”
“Do you want to tell me exactly what your dream is?”
“I guess not now, maybe in the morning.”
“Okay. I’ll be just right here beside you.” Then he kissed me again before I went back to sleep.

The alarm clock rang repeatedly into my ears that morning. I sat down on the edge of the bed before I took a shower. I was still tired from what happened last night but I was thankful that it was just dream. I don’t have any idea what it would cause me if ever it was really happening. There was post it note on the door of the bathroom saying,

Good morning babe. Sorry if I had to leave without waking you up. I have a seven am class today and I guess, you’re pretty tired about what happened yesterday. See you in school. I love you.
With love,
Kenny

I smiled before I went inside to get going. I arrived a little late in our thesis room since it took me a while to decide where to eat. At lunch I met Kenny at the school cafeteria and had our lunch together. It was a tiring day for the two of us, and we’re starting to lose our drive towards sex. Kenny kissed me good night before we sleep.

The week passed by so fast and the same things are going on every single day. I didn’t go home that weekend in contrast with what I promised to my parents while Kenny needs to attend the graduation of his sister who has just finished from medical school. Without Kenny at my side time seems to move much slower, so I decided to go to visit Joey in the hospital. I brought him fresh apples and oranges to eat.

“So how’s everything going on at school?”
“Fine. And by the way, I already told the others everything about me.”
“Wow.”
“Then Kenny and I are already together.”
“And I’m happy for you.” He hugged me tight until he felt his muscles tighten up a bit. Hours passed by and I wasn’t aware that I fell asleep on the chair beside Joey. It was already Sunday afternoon when I got back to the condo unit and Kenny was already there sitting on the couch. I felt uneasy. It seems that he is mad at me about something which I supposed is serious.

“Hey. I thought you’d be back tomorrow morning.”
“You’re not answering any of my text messages and calls. I was worried about you so I came back after the guests left the reception.”
“Oh I left my phone here when I left last night.”
“Last night?” His tone was starting to change.
“Yeah. I left after you went to sleep.”
“Why didn’t you even left me a message?” Now, he was already yelling at me.
“Do I really need to tell you everything?” I was getting mad at him.
“Fine! Then don’t!” He walked out and slammed the door. I cried even if I was so mad at him for being so unreasonable and for howling at me insanely for the first time. I never thought that this would happen to us. I changed to my sleeping clothes and went to bed. I was afraid of what could possibly happen to us now. What if he didn’t come back anymore? What if he broke up with me? Would I bear to see him happy with someone else? I was crying all night until I felt sleepy and nightmares started to devour me again.

I woke up that morning with my pillows wet because of gallons of tears I cried last night. He hasn’t come back yet. Where could he possibly be? I went to the bathroom to get ready for the first day of work. I looked at myself in the mirror, and my face was just awful. My eyes were red.

I took a taxi cab going to the office. I had a hard time locating my station since it was the first time I set foot in there until Louis saw me walking around like a lost boy in the park. Louis, Jen, and Pete asked me what happened but I was too hurt to possibly talk about it and they didn’t bug me about it the whole day. After the office hours, we all went to school to meet Iris since we promised her that we would still meet her after work. She didn’t squeeze the story out of me anymore, probably, Jen informed her not to talk about it.

I went back to the condo unit after we had our dinner. Kenny wasn’t back yet. I tried to call him to amend things between us but he was not answering any of it. I was starting to lose my hopes. I know now that it was really my fault and he was just concerned to me. I shouldn’t have yelled at him, and I was even stupid to make him feel worthless. And worst, I made him feel like I didn’t care about him at all. The night was too long and all I did is cry in my bed. It felt like that his touches and kisses are the ones that keep my nightmares away.

Days, became much longer to me, and I was becoming less productive at work. My boss asked me to take the rest of the week off to fix things. I gladly accepted it and apologized to my best friends for leaving them the work load which I’m supposed to do but they’re pretty fine with it. I decided to go to the mall to relax a little but it didn’t do any good. I took a walk around the mall, staring blankly at people hoping to see Kenny even if I know that he’s in school. I even forgot to have my lunch but I didn’t care, all I wanna do is apologize sincerely to Kenny. I miss him badly.

I went back to my condo unit to leave my bag before I headed to school. I really wanna see Kenny. Not seeing him is killing me slowly and if this continues, I doubt if I make it alive until next week.

“Hey Migs, what are you doing here? You’re supposed to be at work now.”
“Iris, have you seen Kenny?”
“No. Why?”
I hugged her around the waist and cried on her shoulders. I couldn’t control my feelings anymore. It became much worse as each hour passes by. Then I told her everything that happened that afternoon when Kenny and I fought.

“I’m not defending Kenny but he has the right to be mad at you. You made him worried and then you just yelled at him.” After Iris and I talked, I tried to look for Kenny in every corner of the school but it seems fate is punishing me for what I did. As I got out of the North gate of the campus, I saw Kenny standing there. Tears started to flow out of my eyes again. I ran towards him and hugged him from the back but he didn’t react. I stood in front of him and stared at his eyes for a moment. His eyes were cold not even showing any kind of emotion. He didn’t even move a little or even try to pull the earphones off of his ears. I didn’t know what to say to him. It was like waiting for a statue to come to life, he was emotionless and still. It was over between us, I guess, he broke up with me even without saying anything. I turned away from him and ran away. Just as I was about to cross the other side of the stretch of Taft Avenue, I heard a loud honk of a rampaging bus coming towards my direction but I didn’t care. Getting killed by bus was even less painful compared to the fact that Kenny has given up on me.

**********************
​

(Kenny’s POV)

I stood there staring at his eyes for minutes. I tried to hide the hurt I’m feeling when I saw him crying as he held my hands. I wanted to wrap my arms around him and never let go. I wanted to say I’m sorry for not coming back. But I was too hurt about what he said. I held back my tears and watched him ran away. My pride glued my feet on that spot until I saw it coming. The bus is just a few feet away from hitting Migs. The bus driver couldn’t stop easily at that speed and he was going to strike Migs in a few seconds. I felt my reflexes run through my veins to my head and made my way to Migs. At that time, I was thinking of two things. First, what if I am too late? I wouldn’t be able to tell him how sorry I was and I love him more than anything in this world. Second, what if I make it? Would he still be willing to accept me after not responding when he came to me? I took the second choice, I don’t care if he didn’t want me anymore but what is important is that his alive. And to me it was better than not seeing him alive. I pulled him towards me seconds away before the bus finally hits him. I put my right arm around his waist and the other at the back of his head before I kissed him on the forehead. I closed my eyes to thank God for giving me another chance. I promised Him not to do what I did ever again, and if ever I did it again, I would be more than willing to let go of Migs even if it means that I my heart would be torn apart. Migs was still motionless. I shrugged him a bit until he looked me in the eyes and started to cry again. I held his hand tightly as we cross the road and went back to our condo unit.

As we entered the room, I closed the door behind me, and hugged him once again. I was sobbing now. I held his face to look at me before I moved my lips towards his lips. Then finally, our lips were connected. I missed him badly.

“Migs. I’m so sorry for what I did earlier. I loved you but I was too hurt. But now, I’m really regretful that I made you feel like I didn’t love you anymore. I’m so stupid. But one thing, I’m happy about is that you’re here, safe and alive, with me.”

“No, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have yelled at you last Sunday in the first place. And I was not thinking right when I said those words. All of these wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t do what I did.” And he started crying again. I wiped away the tears away from his face and stared at him again for a moment. His eyes were red and swelling. He must’ve cried a lot when I was gone. We went inside our bedroom and lied down to rest for a while. I pulled him towards my chest and placed my right arm under his head. He pressed his head against me and rested his right arm around my waist. I put my other arm around him and kissed him on the forehead before he finally fell asleep.

I miss this kind of moment so much. Two days of not seeing him, was like years to me and right at this moment I still can’t forgive myself from leaving him alone here. I looked at him as he sleeps and I came to realize that I miss the way he smells, the way he makes my heart go crazy, the way he kiss or hug me, the way he says I love you, and most especially the way he makes me feel that he loves me even without saying it. I love him too much now and I don’t think I can make it through every single day without seeing him. Then I heard him snore, his voice is the best music to my ears; even my favorite Amber Pacific songs couldn’t surpass it. And also, he is the first thing I wanted to see every morning when I wake up and the last thing I wanted to cuddle with before I sleep. Now I understand that my life would be meaningless if he’s not in it and I would always be thankful that he crossed my path.

Wow! Good to hear that. Mine has ended last week.
But sad to say, I failed two of my subjects.

 

[mikecruz]

I sketched something for this series and I can't find where it was, so I could scan it and post it in here. Anyway, Advance Merry Christmas to everyone.

Chapter X​

I was walking down the stairs of the engineering building not knowing what or who am I looking for. Upon reaching the lobby of the building, the lights were getting dimmer, and I start to feel eerie around the place. The cold wind brushed across my trembling body, and a sense of urgency to call for help came to me. I went outside the building, but I can’t see anybody, then Kenny passed across me. I started yelling his name but it seems that my voice was being sucked by a black hole. I ran after him, but he’s slowly drifting away from me - away from my world.

“Kenny!!! Kenny!!! Please don’t leave!” I was screaming to death until I felt someone grabbed me by the arms, and I finally woke up. I was sobbing and Kenny hugged me tightly.

“Babe. It was just a dream. Sshhh. Stop crying now. I’m here.”
“I was so afraid. You were walking away from me.”
“That would never happen anymore babe.”

It was Saturday and I decided to go back home to see my parents. Kenny drove me home and kissed me goodbye. I watched him as he turned around the curve and finally disappeared.

“Hey mom! Dad! Monika! Ate Mary! I’m home!” Ate Mary came from the kitchen.
“Migs! You’re back!”
“Yeah! Where’s everybody?”
“They’re out of town to visit your farm in Laguna.”
“Crap! Do you know what time they’re gonna be back?”
“That I do not know. Do you want anything to eat?”
“No thanks.”

I went up to my room and looked around. I miss my bed and my computer badly. And I haven’t gotten online for the past few weeks. I checked on my facebook which has 50 notifications. Some were just comments on pictures, while there are also new friend requests and then I proceeded to my mail. There is poll posted in the yahoo groups of my professional organization in school. They were looking for a male Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE) student that could sing and I was surprised that I was actually the top choice of the entire population of the ECE students to battle it out against the other Engineering courses at the coming Engineering Week. It’s flattering but I really couldn’t sing in front of many people and besides I have work 5 times a week. I called Kenny to ask him about this matter and to help me decide.

“Hey babe. Why did you call? Is there something wrong?”
“Yes!”
“Then what is it?”
“Check on your ECE yahoo group and call me back.”
“Alright.” I hanged up the phone and went back to the computer. I started working on the paper works I left in the office until Kenny called me back.

“Babe! You should sing!”
“I knew it.”
“You knew what?”
“That you’re just gonna push me to do this.” And he laughed.
“I know how music loves you. Isn’t it flattering that a lot of people appreciate your talent?”
“The final say would still be mine. Anyway, I gotta go back to work. I have a lot of things to finish. I miss you already!”
“Me too! I love you babe.”
“I love you too.” Then I smiled and went back to work. The day passed by and I’m almost done with all the things I needed to pass to my boss. I heard our car coming and I rushed downstairs to meet my parents.

“Hey mom! Dad!”
“Hey Migs! Why didn’t you text me or your dad that you’re coming. We should’ve brought you something.”
“It’s okay mom!” I flagged them both in my arms and patted my sister’s head. Mom prepared Lasagna, a roasted chicken, and called Pizza Hut for delivery. What I miss the most about being home is that I could eat anything I want especially the food that my mom cooks. After dinner, I went to the garden and savor the fresh air. I’ve decided to sing in the competition but it would be a surprise for everybody. Then my dad suddenly sat beside me and put his hand around my shoulder.

“How’s everything going on?”
“Everything’s fine dad.”
“How about you and Kenny?” I was shocked after those words left his lips. I couldn’t even look at him and I was lost for words to say until he spoke again.

“I know that there’s something special between the two of you. Your mom and I saw him kissed you the night you headed back to Manila.”
“Are you not mad dad?”
“I was a bit disappointed at first. Then your mom and I talked about it and sort things out that night. Migs, we’re your parents, and no matter what you are but as long as you’re happy, we’re fine with it.”
“Oh thank you dad. You’re the best dad ever. I love you. I love you so much dad.” And I embraced my dad tightly.
“I love you too, son.”

After spending some time with my family, Kenny and I talked over the phone for like half an hour but I didn’t tell him my plan for tomorrow. I didn’t even give him any hint of what would happen but I already talked about it to mom and dad, and they’re very glad to cooperate with me. I love them so much for being very supportive to me in any way possible. I’m so glad that they’re my parents. The night was still young, so I decided to finish all the reports due on Monday before I went to my slumber.

Chapter XI​

Mom and I went to the supermarket early in the morning to buy all the stuff needed for the dinner tonight. I wanted to help her prepare the food for us, while dad is busy at home, cleaning with Monika and Ate Mary. I’m so thankful to Ate Mary for not having her Sunday off today unlike the other maids who left last night.

“Mom, I think we should have Kare-kare. It’s Kenny’s favorite.”
“Okay. Hmmm, do we already have the ingredients for the cake?”
“Yes! I would be the one who’s gonna prepare that. Okay? But can you help me?”
“Sure. Let’s just get the ingredients for Kare-kare and we’re ready to go.”

Upon getting back home, mom and Ate Mary started working on the kitchen while I clean my room before I go on with the cake. It’s actually my first time, and I a bit nervous that I’d ruin everything. I bought extra of every ingredient just in case I fail. The time flew by so fast, and it’s already 4 pm when I finish baking. Thank goodness, it was okay if not perfect. I made Kenny his favorite Chocolate Mousse. I called him to remind him about the dinner.

“Hey babe. Don’t forgot the dinner, okay?”
“Yeah. I’m worried.”
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“What if you’re parents find out about us?”
“No. They wouldn’t. I promise. I love you”
“Okay. I love you too. See you later. I miss you so much.”
“I miss you too.” I hanged up the phone before I went back to my room to take a nap. I woke up at around 6 pm and started to prepare everything in the kitchen while mom and Ate Mary is busy setting up the dining table. I took a quick shower and headed back downstairs. It was already 7 pm and Kenny is probably on his way here.

“Mom, Dad, Ate, Mon. Thank you guys.”
“You’re sweating Migs.”
“Oh dad.”
“What?! I’m just concerned. What if Kenny sees you looking like that, he might break up with you.” He chuckled. Then I heard Kenny’s car came in front of the house and I went out to meet him. He hugged me and kissed me on the lips. We walked inside the house with our hands now separated.

“Good morning sir, ma’am.” He said politely.
“Good evening to you too.” Dad replied smiling.
“Let’s eat. I’m really starving.” I exclaimed pulling Kenny towards the dining area. He kept on looking at me in confusion but all I did is just smile back at him.

“So Kenny. How’s school?”
“Fine sir.”
“You’re in an OJT as well?”
“No sir. I would probably have it in my last term.”
“Oh I see.” We went on eating while Dad kept on interrogating Kenny which made him a little more nervous. I put my hand on his thigh to tell him it’s okay and he shouldn’t worry about anything.

“Dad, you’re making Kenny feel uneasy.”
“What? I’m just asking him.” Dad said defensively.
“Knock it off before he collapse.” And we laughed. I took the cake from the fridge afterwards and served it on the table.

“Wow! You made this?” Kenny exclaimed delightfully.
“Yeah! I know how you love it. But probably it’s not as delicious compared to the ones sold in bakeshops.” I gave each one of them a slice. After dinner, Kenny and I went to the garden together with mom and dad.

“Kenny.” Dad said in serious tone.
“Yes sir?”
“We already know what’s between you and our son. And we’d like to tell you that we’re not against your relationship. But we would like you to know as well that we’re just here if in case you need anything. I mean, you’re a part of the family now.” Dad put his hand on Kenny’s shoulder.

“And lastly, please do take care of Migs. That’s all we’re asking for.” Mom added. Kenny hugged them both before mom and dad went back inside.

“Wow! I was surprised about that. Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I was thinking that it would be better if it’s mom or dad who’ll tell you.”
“I couldn’t believe it. I mean, we’re legit to your parents.”
“Yes!” But all of a sudden, a trace of sadness is visible in Kenny’s face.
“What’s the matter babe? Aren’t you happy about it?” I asked
“Of course I am. It’s just that, I’m wondering if my parents would have the same reaction towards us. After what happened tonight, I’d also like to do the same thing for you. I want my parents to know you, and everything about us. But I’m afraid that it wouldn’t be the same for them.”
“Everything would be alright babe. I would always be here even if all the worlds turned their backs on you. I love you.”
“Thanks babe. I feel better now. I love you too.” He kissed me on the lips without the fear of getting caught. The electricity flowed from his lips to mine until I felt his hands cupping my butt and I broke the kiss.

“Hey babe. Even if my parents are okay with our relationship, it doesn’t mean that we could go all the way here in our garden.”
“Ooops. Sorry babe. I got carried away; I thought we’re in your room.” We laughed. We came back inside the house to my room to get my things before we bid goodbye to my parents. I thanked all of them for helping me with the dinner. I climbed in the passenger seat and Kenny started the engine. He held my hand as we headed back to Manila.

We decided to stop by the cliff to take a look for a moment at the city lights. The cold air brushes across my skin and Kenny laid his arms around me. He kissed me on the cheek and whispered to my ear. I turned my gaze on him and took a quick smack on his lips. He was tickling me until he fell on top of me.

“Babe. I’m so happy for us.” He said until our lips are connected again. His tongue started to churn around my mouth until my tongue caught it and wrestle. We were lying on the ground beside the cliff and we were getting it on.
“Hey babe. Do you mind moving inside the car?” I asked him and all of a sudden he was carrying me to the backseat then lied on top of me. He slowly kissed me down the neck as I put my hands inside his jeans and started to massage his firm butt. He went inside my shirt to lick my nipples and bit it gently. I knew that he wants it rough this time so I kicked him on the chest and positioned myself on top of him. I ripped his shirt of and threw it away before I started to lick his chest going towards his belly down to his crotch. I unzipped his pants using my teeth and once his fly is already opened, I put my tongue inside and started licking the underwear he was wearing. Kenny pulled me up and took my shirt off and signaled me to lie opposite to him. He removed my pants and my underwear and held on to my crotch. He started swinging it to slap his face before he put it inside his mouth little by little as I continue moving my head up and down doing every trick I could do to his crotch. Then he started to put his middle and index fingers inside my hole and slowly he thrusts inside and out. After a while, I stood up and he spat on his crotch before I sit on it. I penetrated me slowly as I relish the feeling of being stuffed in until he was all in. He held me on waist as I lower my head to kiss him on the lips and he started moving up and down. I was moaning in his ears which made him moan a little louder.

“This is so hot babe. I want you so badly. And uh uh uh I love…. You.” He was grasping for air to breathe as I wrapped my arms around his head and let him lick my nipple as he continuously pump my hole. He pushed me and started to jerk me off. Then he was getting much faster but he didn’t stop jerking me until I came and squirt it all the way to his chin while he came inside me. He licked the fluid on his chin and I kissed him. It was a bit salty but sweet and tasty. I rested on top of him for a moment and he kissed me on the forehead.

“You really taste good babe.” He said and laughed.
“And you taste even better. Oh, this is the first time we didn’t use a protection.”
“I’m fine with it. You?”
“Yes. Much better. I could really feel you.” We headed back to Manila without putting our clothes on. Thank goodness, Kenny’s car is heavily tinted.

CHAPTER XII​

Jen and I went to office early that Monday so we could go home early to practice for my performance on Friday. We also asked our boss if all the four of us could take a day off on Friday because it was the last day of the engineering week and he was fine with it as long as we finish everything by Thursday. Jen, who is part of the engineering college government, suggested to the project heads of the singing battle that it would be better if they kept the engineering students wondering who would be representing each course which they gladly accepted. Kenny was still disappointed with me regarding the contest; he really wanted me to sing. It gives me pain to see him sad about that matter but it would be so much better if I’ll surprise him with my performance. Every day, before I go back to the condo unit, I would practice in Jen’s condo unit, with Iris, Louis and Pete as the judges and Jen as my coach. The night before the contest, my friends and I went to the mall to buy myself clothes to wear at the competition.

“I think it would be better if you wear polo, then a cardigan, black jeans, then a boat shoes.” Iris suggested. The girls are so better at this, I mean, I dress myself well, but they’re just like black belters in shopping. Only that, they take hours before they finally decide what to buy. After several hours of mix and match, finally, we’re off to dinner. I treated them for helping me out through the week. I didn’t know what to do without them. After dinner, we all went back to Taft. I dropped by KFC to buy Kenny something before I go back to the unit. I asked Jen to keep the things I bought with her so Kenny wouldn’t see.

“Hey babe, how’s your night out?”
“It was fine. Iris and Jen went shopping and it took them centuries to decide. And oh, I bought you a double down.”
“Gee, thanks babe.”
“How’s school today?”
“Average, we had a quiz in engineering economics, I didn’t know how to answer some of the questions.”
“You’ll do better next time, I’m sure.”
“Thank you. I missed you so much this week babe.”
“I’m sorry, workloads are too much together with our thesis.” He pulled me to his chest and kissed me on the head.
“It’s okay babe. I understand. Just don’t push yourself too much. Okay?”
“Yes sir.” And I kissed him on the lips.
“You should go and sleep now, you look pretty drained and you still have work tomorrow. I’ll follow once I’m done with all of this. Our organization asked me to make banners for the representative to tomorrow at the singing competition. I hate it. It would be much better if it was you, you know. I’d be making you not just banners but streamers, videos, and balloons.”
“Sorry to disappoint you babe. Next time, I promise.” And I went to bed to rest before the big day. The next day, before Iris went to school, Jen, Louis, Pete, and I had a meeting at Starbucks to talk about the plan.

“Okay, Iris, could you take Kenny somewhere before the competition starts. He shouldn’t see me, Louis, Jen, and Pete preparing. Pete, please take in charge of the music and other stuff. Jen, stay with me. I need my coach. Louis, just help Pete.”
“So are we all set?” Iris asked.
“Yes! Thank you guys.” I exclaimed before Jen and I headed back to her condo unit while Iris went to class and Louis and Pete went to Louis’ place to set up everything. Time passed by so fast and I realized that I’m sweating too much in the back stage.

“Jen, I think I wanna quit.”
“Migs! You can’t quit right now. You’ve done everything to make this perfect for Kenny. You can’t just waste the effort that we all put together.” Jen said convincingly in her high pitched voice.
“And if you quit, I’m gonna kick your ass off this stage.” Pete exclaimed. Iris called to inform us that Kenny is already in the audience and the four of us must not come out before our performance. I would be performing last, and I was trembling as I hear all the other contestants hit the notes. The civil engineering student performed a splendid number singing I don’t wanna miss a thing. I bet he would bag the gold medal while the industrial engineering student would take home the silver medal as she belted The Prayer. Until, I realized that it was my turn to sing.

“The electronics and communications engineering!” the host said for the nth time and Jen dragged me to the stage. It was still dark, and I couldn’t see anything. I had my back on the audience. And the spotlight flashed to me, and the music began to play. I breathed deep before I hit the first line.

It’s been a long and winding journey
But I’m finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces
Walking back into the light
Into the sunset of your glory
Where my heart and future lies

I could see Kenny standing up smiling and teary eyed. My heartbeat went faster. He’s the only person I can see amongst the crowd. Everybody was a blur, and it was like, I’m just singing on a stage and Kenny is the only audience I have. But it didn’t matter; it’s a lot better than performing in front of a mammoth crowd.

There’s nothing like that feeling
When I look into your eyes
My dreams came true when I found you,
I found you, my miracle

If you could see what I see
That you’re the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know, it would be clear, the angels brought me here

The crowd started to clap while Kenny was yelling and cheering for me. I even heard him shout, “That’s my boyfriend singing there.”

Standing here before you
Feels like I’ve been born again
Every breath is your love
Every heartbeat speaks your name
My dreams came true right here in front of you
My miracle

If you could see what I see
That you’re the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know, it would be clear, the angels brought me here

Brought me here, to be with you
I’ll be forever grateful, oooh forever thankful
My dreams came true when I found you
My miracle

If you could see what I see
That you’re the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know, it would be clear, the angels brought me here

You know I love you baby “Kenny”

I thought of changing the word baby to Kenny to let him know that this song is solely dedicated to him. I love him so much.

And if you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know, it would be clear, the angels brought me here.

As the music faded, some people in the crowd stood up to clap and cheer for me especially my friend. And Kenny was yelling at the top of his lungs. I was happy to see him like that, and no medal or trophy could equalize the love and support that my boyfriend has given me. It was the best award that I could ever receive. All the contestants were called to the stage as the hosts open each envelop.

“Now, taking home the bronze. We have the………….. Chemical Engineering!” The chemical engineering students in the crowd stood up and clapped for their representative. I was not expecting anything but I’d still like to win for my fellow ECE students and for Kenny

“Next envelop please.” The host slowly opened it and unfolded the piece of paper then smiled.
“And for silver. We have the………………… Civil Engineering! Congratulations.” Crap! My chances are getting low. I was losing my hopes until Kenny shouted, “ECE for the gold!”
I’ve never seen him act like that in the engineering weeks in the past few years and I was glad that he was there to uplift my spirit. Then the judge, who is the Dean of the college of engineering, took over and unfolded a piece of paper from the last envelop. She called on the five remaining contestants to take a step forward.

“And finally the gold award.” The crowd remained silent as the judge prolonged the revelation of the winner.

“Let’s us all congratulate the Industrial Engineering.” The industrial engineering students went wild as their representative cried with tears of joy. I was a bit disappointed but I know that they really did sing better than me. I was clapping for the winners until the judge interrupted.

CHAPTER XIII​

“But wait guys we have a tie……………………………………………………………. Let’s us also give it up for the Electronics and Communications Engineering.” I fell silent. I couldn’t believe what I heard. I won. The cheering from the crowd got much louder. I was still in shock when I took the trophy before I went back to my friends.

“Oh my God, I still can’t believe it.” I exclaimed in disbelief.
“You did well babe.”
“Oh my God Migs! We should celebrate!” Jen added.
“I wouldn’t win this thing without you guys. Thank you!”
“No problem man!” Pete and Louis said in chorus.
“And Mr. Kenny, this is for you!” I handed Kenny the trophy and hugged him.
“You really surprised me babe. I love it. You got me disappointed the whole week and now I totally forgot that you actually lied to me.
“I know. And I’m sorry for that.”
“No worries, it was the best lie I heard in many years.”
“Thank you. And I love you.”
“I love you too. And so you would know, even if you didn’t win this, you’re still the champion for me.”
“Oh really?”
“Of course, you could even win American Idol.” He laughed and kissed me again. I decided to treat my blockmates in Central, a hangout place of students who wanted to drink after classes near the school and everything is on me: we have a long night to celebrate. After hours of laughing and bonding, finally, I felt the alcohol in me. I can’t handle myself anymore, I was already being too much talkative and I start mumbling a lot of random things.

“I think I need to go to the bathroom.” I whispered to Kenny.
“Do you want me to go with you?”
“I can handle this.” And I kissed him on the lips.
“Are you sure babe?”
“Yeah” And I walked myself to the bathroom swaying. I still know what’s happening around me but my sight was a bit blurred. I took a pee at the last cubicle to the left then I heard a group of guys came inside the bathroom. There was yelling, banging, and crying. I heard someone yelled, “Fcuk! Now you’re dead.” I was trembled when I heard the guy; his voice was full of fury and anger. I didn’t make a move but suddenly, I felt nauseous, and I felt the puke coming up to my throat then I vomited. Then some guy came inside my cubicle and grabbed my hair as I was kneeling on the floor facing the toilet bowl.

“What do you want?” I asked frantically and he let pulled me up still grabbing hair. The other guys were just staring at me including the beaten guy who looks familiar to me. He dragged me towards the door and pushed me. I walked back quickly to our table.

“Babe. I wanna go now.” I said.
“Why? What’s the matter?”
“I’ll explain everything when we got back to the condo. Please let’s go.” I begged him. We bid goodbye to the other and walked as fast as we could. I was breathing fast as Kenny closed the door behind us and grabbed my shoulders to face him.

“Babe. Calm down. You’re freaking me out.” I took a deep breath and started to talk.
“I was vomiting inside the cubicle then I heard a group of guys came in. They were beating someone and they threatened him. One of them even said that they’ll kill him. Then they heard me puking and somebody grabbed my hair and sent me out of the bathroom.” I was sobbing as Kenny took me in his arms and pulled me into his chest.

“Stop crying now. I’ll never let them do anything to you.”
“What if they try to kill me? I’m scared not just for myself but also for you.”
“Nothing will happen to us babe, I promise.”

I was lying on the couch with my head on Kenny’s lap while he was playing with my hair. I tried to wash away the memory out of my head.

“Hey babe. How do you like the idea of singing tonight? It’s a bit early to sleep already.”
“Sure. I’ll just get some beer from the fridge and you set the karaoke up.” I quickly got on my feet and went to the kitchen. I came back with a few chips and a couple of bottle of beers.

“Hmmm. What song do you like?” He asked.
“Let’s hit it old school. Like A Rose by A1.” I started singing while he started at me. I pulled him up from the couch and we’re dancing like morons. Then after the song, we sang a duet of Someday We’ll know. We enjoyed every song we know until I felt that it was time for me to sleep.

“I’m a bit sleepy now.” I protested.
“Huh? One more song and you could go now. Please.” He said like a kid who pleases his parents when he wanted to buy something in a toy store.
“Okay fine. Let’s hit it.”

Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you

Kenny pulled me again and wrapped around his arms around me and kissed me on the forehead. I pushed my head against his bare chest and sniffed his scent. I love the way he smell no matter how sweaty he is and to me it will always be him. And we started to slow dance as we look into each other’s eye with great passion and affection. The love I have for him is immense and immeasurable.

I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand
The urgency just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight"
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you.

“That was cool babe. If there’s a duet competition, we’re totally gonna win it.”
“I’ve the time of my life; you don’t know how long I’ve waited for you.” He said as he brushed his fingers across my cheek, before he pulled me to a tender kiss.

“I love you babe.” I said.
“And I love you too, forever and ever.”

Chapter XIV​

I spent the whole Saturday together with Louis, Jen, and Pete to work on our thesis prototype while Kenny went home to spend the day with his family. The prototype making bored me to death until lunch time when we ordered El Bono pizza, a really big pizza. Then we went back to work after we finished our lunch and they went home at around 9 pm. Kenny wouldn’t be back until tomorrow morning, and I miss him already. I just watched the TV while busying myself in front of the computer, downloading new songs to listen to and movies that I haven’t watched yet. Then suddenly the doorbell rang, and I wonder who it was. I wasn’t expecting any visitor and Kenny would probably text me if ever he wanted me to wait for him when he decided to come back. I opened the door and saw Joey soaking wet, trembling with blood stains on his shirt.

“What the hell happened to you?”
“I’ll explain everything. Can I please go inside first?” I swung the door open and he rushed inside. I took a towel and let him dry himself first before I interrogated him.

“So now, talk.”
“Do you remember the day when you found me inside the trunk of my car?”
“Yes.”
“They want me dead.”
“Who are they?”
“Some frat!”
“Oh crap! What did you do?”
“They thought that I was the one who brutally killed they’re buddy. They say that they saw me doing the job. Shit! I really don’t know what to do. They’ve been following me everywhere, even inside the campus. I can’t even go to the authorities because if our school finds out, they might bring me to the court for trial. I don’t wanna get kicked out. I swear to God it wasn’t me!”
“Okay! Calm down! Let’s think of a way!”
“They’re gonna kill me.”
“Wait! Shut up! I’m thinking!”
“Right! Did you tell your parents about this?”
“Hell no!”
“You could have bodyguards.”
“Bodyguards in school?!”
“So what? If it’s the only way for you to be safe.”
“I don’t know. I can’t think straight right now.”
“Let’s sort things out tomorrow. Right now, you should go to bed.” I lend him some clothes to wear and left him inside the bedroom to rest. I called Kenny to tell him that Joey is with me and Kenny’s a bit uncomfortable with that, and I could feel that he’s jealous.

“I love it when you’re jealous.”
“No, I’m not.”
“Oh c’mon. Admit it babe.”
“Alright alright! I am jealous. Is that what you wanted to hear? Did I make you happy now?”
“Of course, you did! It goes to show how much you love me.”
“Okay, just don’t do anything naughty with Joey. I miss you babe. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“I miss you too. I love you.”
“I love you too.” And he hanged up the phone and I lied on the couch until I fell asleep.
The morning sun hit my face, and I slowly opened my eyes. Joey was standing in front of the TV wearing boxer briefs which made his morning wood visible. He was so gorgeous especially now that he’s topless, showing off his six-packed abs.

“Do you mind, wearing something decent?!” And he laughed.
“Why? Is there something wrong?” Then he pulled down his boxer shorts revealing his hard rock crotch facing me. Joey was used to this kind of jokes since he came from an all boys school and I couldn’t blame him for being such a dork. I stood up and pushed him away.

“Nice try. Even if I’m gay, and you’re drop dead gorgeous, I wouldn’t fall for that. I love Kenny so much to even think about cheating on him.” Then he grabbed me from behind caressing his crotch on my butt and I quickly moved away from him.
“Joey, stop, okay?!”
“Alright! I’m just kidding! Anyway, Migs, thanks for letting me stay here, I owe you one. I’m gonna leave in a while. I asked our driver to pick me here.”
“Sure no problem. Anytime.”

Our breakfast arrived after half an hour. We had a little chat about what could possibly be the reason why those frat guys are pursuing him.

“Yeah. It’s possible that it’s my brother who did it. I mean, we really look like twins only that I’m a bit taller and more handsome.”
“Shut up! We’re serious here.”
“Wheew. And he’s involved with the rival fraternity. Anyway, my driver’s here, I gotta go man.”
“Okay, you take care.” He patted my shoulders before he left. I decided to go to the mall to go shopping. It has been a long time since I last shopped by myself and I enjoyed it. I saw a cute pair of shoes at Sanuk which I thought would look good on Kenny. He’s the same size as me, so I didn’t have a hard time fitting then I suddenly remembered that we’re celebrating our first month on the 8th of June from now. I think 9 days of preparation is enough for me. Just the thought of surprising him made me jump out of excitement.

Then as I was looking for a restaurant to eat I saw a guy standing a few feet away from me who looked familiar to me. I gathered my thoughts, trying hard to remember who he was. He was around 5’9, muscular, dark haired, deep black eyes, his nose had a bandage, he has pink lips, round face, and has a relatively average amount of hair on his face. Until, another guy approached him. He looked a lot like Joey. The taller guy was also an engineering student in school, and he was with Joey’s brother discussing about something. I tried to follow them discreetly until we arrived at the parking lot and they left riding a black sedan.

What are they up to? I must find out. I thought. I went back to the condo unit and found Kenny there.
“Hey babe. I just arrived a few minutes before you. Where did you go?”
“Ah. Shopping. And I have something for you.” I took out the shoes I bought him.
“Geez. Thanks. Thank God, I didn’t buy one last night. Thank you babe.”
“Sure thing.” And he kissed me on the lips. We went to sleep and I still couldn’t get the picture of Joey’s brother and that guy out of my head and I have a strong feeling that something is gonna happen. I wrapped my arms around Kenny who is already fast asleep and closed my eyes. Then my fears became nightmares.
