[ARC UNIVERSITY THE SEQUEL]
This isn't a second chance.
It's what happens after the damage has already been done.
Secrets. Seduction. Sabotage.
And a love story that was never supposed to survive.
Welcome back to Arcadia.
Where everything beautiful...

"Ang kulit mo talaga," I whispered habang nakapatong si Aiah sa'kin, legs tangled with mine, lips brushing the curve of my jaw.
"Ikaw ang nanunukso kanina," she murmured, voice low and smug. "You started it."
"Excuse me," I gasped, giggling, "I was just trying to brush your hair."
"Ganun ba," Aiah smirked, tumingin sa'kin na para bang may balak. "With that look in your eyes?"
Then she kissed me-slow, deep, deliberate. The kind that made me forget na may mundo pa sa labas ng kwarto.
I pulled her closer, fingertips digging into her back, her weight grounding me like gravity. My heart was pounding against hers.
" babi," Aiah breathed against my lips. "You still taste like trouble."
"Horny?"
"Home."
My breath hitched. That word-home. It hit different when she said it.
"Babi," I whispered. "Wait..."
She paused. Didn't move away. Forehead resting against mine, breath warm.
"Don't tell me to stop," she murmured against my lips, her breath hot and steady. "Because even if you want me to... I'm not done with you yet."
Her hand slid under my shirt again-slow, deliberate. I gasped against her mouth. She kissed me deeper.
"Gusto mong itigil ko?" she challenged, brushing her lips over mine again.
"...Hindi ko rin alam."
We kissed again.
Mas mabagal na ngayon. Mas tapat. Mas puno ng meaning kaysa lust.
She cupped my cheek, fingers featherlight, and kissed me like she was remembering every version of me she used to love.
My leg wrapped around her thigh. She slid her hand under my shirt.
"Babi..." I whispered again.
"Hmm?"
"I love you."
She pulled back a bit, looked me in the eyes, then smiled.
"So much more than you can imagine love" Aiah said and smile
And just when everything felt like it was finally falling into place-
KNOCK. KNOCK.
"Who the hell knocks at this hour?" Aiah muttered, eyes still closed, forehead resting against mine.
Aiah groaned into my shoulder. "Make sure it's important "
I buried my face in the blanket. "Don't mind them love."
She laughed, gave me a quick forehead kiss, then grabbed a hoodie. I pulled the blanket up to my neck, composing myself.
