Sa huling araw ng college life namin, halos nag-aayos na lang kami ng requirements for graduation.
Few days after everything was finalized, nalaman na namin. My boyfriend will graduate as Summa Cum Laude, si Trina Magna ata.
"Congrats," he tightly put me in an embrace, sa likod ang pagkakayakap niya.
I was about to fill my glass with water, sinara ko 'yong ref, hinarap siya at niyakap sa paraang gustong-gusto niya.
"Told you," his lips near the back of my ear, whispering. "Naks, Cum Laude ang girlfriend ko-"
"Summa ka," punto ko.
"Sumasang-ayon sa iyo lagi," halakhak niya, sinuntok ko ang braso niya, mahina lang naman.
"Congrats, Ry," I loosened my hold of him, looked up to him for just like an eternity. His eyes glistened, almost melting me at that moment. "I am so proud of you, babe."
"I am, too, with you," he kissed the tip of my nose. "With us."
Lumabas kaming magbabarkada bago ang graduation day.
"Congrats, Alexandro Luis," I hugged him, agad ko narinig ang pagtikhim sa likod ko, alam kong naroon ang seloso kong boyfriend. "Grabe, anong lahi 'yan?! Summa kayo pareho!"
He chuckled innocently. "Future lahi ng mga anak mo," biro niya.
Agad akong hinila ni Rylie, humagalpak tuloy ng tawa si Xandro. "Tangina, Ry! Isang dugo lang dumadaloy sa mga ugat natin! OA mo, sa iyo lang sa Yca!"
"At least you know," Rylie muttered. "Clear your words, sounded with two meanings-"
Nilingon ko siya. "Baliw ka talaga."
Sa bar na pinuntahan namin ay halos marami ring mula sa school namin, some were familiar.
"H'wag kang lalayo," bulong niya. Agad ang paghila ni Trina sa akin, Audrey and Kylie were dancing wildly already.
"Congrats, girl," Audrey even made me turn around. She was laughing, so was I. Sobrang rare na masaya siya, kaya iba ang pakiramdam no'n para sa akin.
"Congrats din, Aud," yumakap ako sa kanya.
"Hmm, classmate na tayo ulit n'yan sa law school," nakangiting banggit niya. "Parang dati lang."
Natigil kami pag-uusap no'ng inabot ni Trina ang mga shot glass sa amin.
"One shot!" Kylie shouted. We were all giggling while dancing to the beat of the wild music and blinding swaying of lights.
Ilang sandali lang ay lumapit na ang mga kaibigan naming lalaki. All of us groaned.
Sa likod ko pumwesto si Rylie, dancing with me, almost grinding against my body. Swaying me to the rhythm he wanted us to follow, it was so sensual, even the breath of him on my neck.
"Hmm," inikot niya ako. "These assholes are gawking at you, kahit ako na ang humahawak sa iyo-"
Pinutol ang pagmamaktol siya, swiftly I initiated a tender kiss, a possessive after few seconds.
"So?" I paused for a while, his hands were touching my bare back. "You can-"
Nagulat akong sinumulan niya akong halikan sa leeg ko, pababa sa balikat ko. Volts of emotions sparked in my system, he knew his territory, and he knew how damn to mark it.
