FRANKI'S POV

"Franki...do you want to wake up na?"

A soft tap on my cheek flinches me awake.... only to see Diana's smiling face looming over me. I blink once, then lazily wipe the sleep out of my eyes and squint at her.

Why does her face seem glowing right now? Or is it just the rays of the sun from the curtain blinds?

"Good morning," she flashes me her usual sweet smile while sitting on the edge of the bed, eyes tender on mine.

"What time is it?" I ask in my groggy voice while covering half of my face with the pillow.

"It's already past eight in the morning."

My face crumples in confusion.

"Are you serious?"

I instantaneously curl up. I want to enjoy every second of our time here on this beautiful island.

She just shrugs her shoulder while still smiling without baring her teeth. Can she stop doing that? I don't think there is something funny or kilig (romantic excitement) right now. And why does she look extra pretty today? Her cheekbones under that rosy skin are getting more prominent while mine is getting chubbier because of all the V-cut and other junks that I have been snacking at David's condo. And I'm jealous. Ugh.

Since when did you become jealous of other women, Franki?

I have always been confident with the way I look and I genuinely admire other women's beauty too. I mean, I believe that we are all beautiful but only in different ways.

I stare at Diana again and realize that she is already wearing her black bikini that we bought yesterday with a white cover-up topping it. She is also wearing light make-up and it looks good on her. Gosh, she is such a maganda babae (pretty woman). Sobra ganda... (very pretty).

She's really cute and I can't blame Sky for crushing on her. I've been to a lot of countries and have seen far prettier girls but there is just something about my boyfriend's sister. Maybe because I find her very interesting...

"Where's David?" I ask, looking around while blinking my girl-crush thoughts away.

"He's waiting for us in the lobby with Sky. We'll be having our breakfast first,"

"Woah!" I wave my body away from her. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Frustration is all over my face.

"Sorry...You were apparently dreaming. And I think it's a very nice one..." Her smile stretches into a knowing one...

...and then it finally hit me.

I actually dreamed about her!

We were hugging and... wait, I can't remember it. We were hugging and something. There's a lot of bed, vacant beds, maybe four of them in a nice Barbie-like room but we were sharing one. Yeah, cuddles, lots of cuddles! I can still remember how good it felt and how nice she smelled.

We were also talking, and...gosh, the details are so vague and I am not so sure about it. Wait, was it really a dream?

Yes, it was really a dream because I can still feel it. When I look at her again, she is now smiling naughtily.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"I playfully roll my eyes and avert my gaze away to hide the crimson red that has crept up my cheeks.

"You were moaning, Franki." she grins.

My eyes grow even wider as I audibly gasp.

"Shut the F up, Diana. Are you serious?" I dramatically react with a hand on my chest.

I think my heart jumped out of my ribs the moment she winked at me.

"Oh my gosh, I feel so stupid..."I plunge myself into her and hug her into shame. She starts to chuckle loudly while I end up burying my face in her hair again. Ah, she smells really good.

My eyes flew open when I remember another detail, and it is a bit sexual.

"Franki..." her chuckle softens. "It's okay," she reassures me while gently yet repetitively tapping my arm that is tightened around her neck. I heavily sigh and drop myself back to bed.

"We'll wait for you downstairs, okay?" she says as she gets up, face now serious.

"Gimme at least half an hour," I request while pouting.

"Come on, Franki. You don't need to do your make-up. You look prettier without it."

"Whatever, Diana." I want to scowl at her but I just find myself giggling. I don't know why I blushed at her flattering comment.

"I'll be in the lobby with them, okay?" she says before finally leaving the room.

Stepping into the bathroom moments later, I again try to recollect the details from my dream...

I'm not sure if I really can't or I just don't want to succumb to the cloudy and inappropriate images that are peeking from the innermost part of my brain.

I then realize that I feel weird in the lower part of my body when I finally get naked. Unconsciously, as if having minds of their own, my fingers trail down my body and find their way between my thighs.

I casually slip one finger between my lips down there and I am shocked to find out that I am wet. Sticky wet.

What the fuck?

But why??? What the hell is happening?

I immediately turn the shower on and try my best to cool myself down while thinking of happy thoughts.

Stop imagining on kissing Diana, Frances.

Shut the hell up, brain!

I am finally done after half an hour. My hair is still wet so I just slicked it back and cover myself with my knee-length leopard-designed cover-up. After reaching the lobby, I find Sky and David enthusiastically watching a football game that is being played in the flatscreen attached on the wall.

I then start to have this funny feeling in my tummy the moment I saw Diana, who seems to be busy on her phone.

"I'm ready guys! Time for breakfast!" I cheerfully call them out.

"Franki, wow!" Sky stands up as he rakes my form from head to toe. "You look so regal,"

I did a little twirl while giggling.

"Thanks, Sky!" My eyes immediately fall into Diana again, but she is still busy on her phone. I don't know why but I want her to look at me.

"She always does, Buddy." David proudly says. He immediately wraps his arms around me and gives me a kiss on my cheek. "How was your sleep? I'm sorry about last night. I miss you."

"It's okay. Sorry to have kept you waiting," I slither out from his hug and pull him by his arm. "Come on guys, I know that you are all hungry."

David puts his arm around my waist as we lead the way. I look back to see Diana, only to have my eyebrow arched up when I saw her taking a selfie with Sky while pouting her lips.

We decide to eat breakfast at Jenny's Filipino Restaurant at Station 2. I immediately sit beside Diana while David and Sky are seated across us. She is busy on her phone again and I suppress the urge to take a peek on whoever she is texting. I don't know why...maybe just some harmless curiosity.

My eyes finally found their way on her phone's screen moments later, only to see that she is just casually scrolling on some random Instagram stories.

"I haven't posted any pictures from yesterday yet," I say while Dave is choosing from the menu.

"Me neither. I seldom post, actually." Diana replies, eyes still locked on her phone. I nonchalantly drag my chair closer to hers to have a better look on her phone.

"You look fire on your posts. I like your feed." I refer to her Instagram.

"Most of them were just from the pageants and magazine shoots."

"You really look great, especially on this one," I point to one of her posts where she is posing in the middle of a sunflower garden in her denim jacket. She looks so warm and just...simply gorgeous.

"So if my posts are fire, then what's yours? Lava? Your highlighted stories are so goals, Franki." she comments as she quickly glances at me.

Oh...So is she stalking my feed?

And so? Everyone is stalking everyone's IG feed, Franki. And a lot of people especially men does it with yours and you are used to it, right? Why does it matter to you now?

I didn't realize that I have been staring at her for long now if David didn't butt in,

"Have you seen her stories with me in Australia?"

"I'm not sure, I'll check it out later." Diana casually says as she continues to browse on IG.

David reaches for my hand across the table and gives it a little squeeze, "You are my wandering stunner and I can't wait to explore the whole world with you." he lovingly says as he locks his gleaming eyes into mine.

I smile back at him and return my gaze back to Diana, practically ignoring him.

"Whoa, who was that?" My interest piques when I catch a glimpse of the picture of an almost naked woman that passed by the screen as she was scrolling up. I move closer to her and lean my chin on her shoulder to join her on her browsing.

I felt her tensing up as she adjusts on her seat.

"It's Kendall Jenner," She scrolls back to the picture and shows it to me.

"Woah, look at those curves! Kendall is such a babe!" I exclaim next to her ear.

"Yes, she does. She's just...perfect. Shit," Diana replies and I notice her looking fondly at the picture. My eyes move down to her lips and linger there for a few seconds. I stopped when Sky chimed in and started talking about Kendall's outfits in Victoria's Secret fashion show last year. He and Diana started talking about the expensive model while I just stare at the latter's face and lips as she talks. I wonder why she's not glancing at my direction...

I straighten up on my chair when our orders finally arrive.

"Give me your plate, Franki." Diana offers. I immediately hand her my plate and cheerfully watch her as she puts rice and food into it. Funny because she chose what's exactly on my mind; tortang talong and pansit bihon (rice noodles).

"Your sister is really sweet," I gush while looking at Dave.

"Yes, she is, to everyone except me," he mumbles with his mouth full. He really eats like a starved pig sometimes and I find it funny.

"Whatever, Dave." Diana claps back with rolled eyes.

"I like Diana's tortang talong (fried egg and eggplant) more to be honest," I comment after tasting the restaurant's serving.

"She has always been the chef in the house," Dave proudly says this time as he wiggles his eyebrows at Diana.

"Lucky guy...D's future husband." Sky softly comments while giving Diana a meaningful gaze.

"Well, lucky you then." David winks at Sky which prompts the latter to lean back on his chair and chuckle in delight.

Diana just laughed at the remark and finally glanced at me. I automatically met her eyes and we linger on each other's ones for a few seconds. I don't know how but I think I have read her emotions through her eyes. The way she looks at me is telling me that she didn't like what she heard.

After breakfast, Sky and I proceeded to the shore for a tanning session. The siblings volunteered to go back to the hotel to get some things that we forgot to bring such as my tanning lotion, their sunblock, and other stuff.

Sky helped me spread out our blankets on the sand. I adjust my sunglasses over my nose before laying down on my pink one. I can't help but sigh in delight when I immediately find comfort in my spot with Sky beside me.

Gosh...I just love how the rays of the sun beat down against my pale body.

"How's the Philippines so far, Franki? Are you enjoying it?" Sky asks as he rolls over to his back.

"Yeah, lots of beautiful people and places!"

"D told me that you have been aching to have a tanning session since yesterday. Filipino people wants to have whiter skin while you guys are the opposite."

"It's actually healthy and natural to get a little sun upon our skin because we need at least some exposure to get enough vitamin D naturally. I also find it fashionable, I don't know. I just feel good when my skin is darker. You know, having that golden glow. Back in Australia, I deliberately sunbathe naked a little every week to have a nice tan." I enthusiastically explain.

"You have a lot of good points, Franki. Generally, people find something attractive when it is linked to high status. In the past, farmers worked outside and were tanned. Rich people, landowners, and aristocrats didn't have to work outside and were fair-skinned. That is why white untanned skin was associated with high status. Here in the Philippines, people especially women are addicted to whitening products because they want to be fair-skinned as possible."

Sky is really intellectual in the way he speaks. I always notice that. I hope he won't overdo it though, because I notice Diana's disinterest whenever he speaks sometimes.

"Oh wow, that's a bit sad but true. You should be proud of who you are because your most powerful weapon is you."

"I'm actually partly guilty. I mean, my fair skin is natural but I have a strict skincare routine to maintain my poreless skin." he shares.

I arch my brow on what he has said. Skincare routine...

We started talking about beauty products and I am surprised to know that he is aware of a lot of brand names and other female stuff. I mean, it's unusual for a man, you know. But I will give him the benefit of the doubt as metrosexual men exist.

I start to get bored in the middle of our conversation. I keep glancing in the hotel's direction, inwardly waiting for the siblings to come back especially Diana. It just feels so right whenever she's within my sight.

"So...how are things with you and Diana?" I finally change the topic.

"We're getting to know each other again. It has been a while and a lot of things have changed since then..." There's a longing in his voice.

"Change is the only constant thing in the world but you won't grow if you stick to your comfort zone. Be bold and get her, Sky!" Oh wow, I'm not sure if I was genuine with what I have said.

"Wow, Franki. Thanks for the encouragement. That's very true. I'm not giving up on D anyway." he looks more determined this time, and it caused a frown on my forehead.

I give him a sideways glance to observe the sincerity in his face.

"Do you really like her?" I just found myself asking. I mean, I really care about Diana now so I want the best guy for her...

"Yeah, so much. She's so pretty and sweet, and I think she's the perfect wife material,"

"I think she is..." I mumble under my breath as images of Diana's smile enters my mind. "She cooks really good."

"Yeah. Her adobo is the best."

"She has taught me how to cook it last time but I haven't tried it alone yet." I have the steps of her personal recipe noted on my phone.

"What else did she tell you about me?" he fishes.

"Uh..." I trail off as I cock my head to one side, digging in my thoughts. I actually don't remember Diana talking about him that much, at least to me.

I find Sky's intentions weird, to be honest. And he is too feminine. Not that I am judging him or something... I don't know but I am confident that I have a good character judgment. Sky is nice and all but I think he really is not what we think he is. I could be wrong though.

"Frankiii...Sky..."

My whole face lights up upon hearing Diana's familiar voice. She finally arrived with a paper bag on hand.

"Where's David?" I ask after realizing that she's alone.

"He's coming. He just bought some beers and other food."

"Seriously? Beer? This early?" I hate beers. I prefer cocktails actually.

I fish the tanning lotion out from the paper bag which Diana has brought and start applying it to my neck while pulling up my shoulder-length hair haphazardly to keep it out of the way. Sky also started applying sunblock lotion on his face while sitting on his own spot.

I glance at my other side and notice Diana gazing at my neck. An idea pops into my head when she immediately looks away and becomes busy wiping some sand out on her blanket.

"Can you help me over here, Diana?"

"Sure," she immediately replies with a soft chuckle. "What do you need?"

"I can't reach my back..." I request, flipping over so I am laying stomach-down on the blanket.

"Okay, let me do it for you then," she nonchalantly offers. She takes the lotion bottle from me and kneels beside me. I can hear her squirting some on her hands, and I raspily squeal and squirm at the cool and sticky liquid the moment she rubbed it on my skin.

"Just on your back, right?" she asks, and I just find myself smirking at the hint of nervousness in it.

"Can you do it on my...whole body?" I casually reply.

Uhm, whole body? Seriously? Where did that come from, Frances?

"No problem,"

I wonder why it took her about five seconds to reply...And, why does this excite me?

She is awkwardly spreading the lotion on my upper back, apparently unable to properly rub it in at the angle she is at.

"You okay, Diana?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"

"You can straddle me if you want," I suggest in my crispy, suggestive voice.

"Much better," she sounds so convinced, and I didn't expect her to oblige right away. She flings a leg over me and straddles my thighs as she continues to rub the lotion on my upper back. I turn my head to the other side and slightly adjust my body when I felt the warmth of her crotch against my ass cheeks.

"Am I heavy?" There's a concern in her voice.

"Nah, please proceed po."

She chuckles again before saying, "Okay,"

"Hmm. You're good, Diana... Keep going." I comment with my eyes completely shut as she works her fingers higher on my tensed muscles.

She stops when she gets to the middle of my back. I understand why. I am wearing a one-piece bikini and my back is covered.

I reach my hands back toward the strings that are holding my bikini back to open it.

"We can untie the strings if you need to," I suggest.

"Diana?" I call her out when I notice that she is not helping me.

I tilt my head back to see her and she is actually scratching her back.

"Sorry, my back was kinda itchy I have to scratch it." she excuses.

I feel so tingly all over when she starts working on the strings of my bikini.

"Diana?" I call out again, my voice higher than normal. I don't know why I suddenly blurt her name out again. It's just that, the feeling of her fingers working on the strings at my back was sending shocks of tingling sensation all over my body.

After a few more seconds, my back is finally bare for her to see and massage.

"There you go," she clears her throat and continues applying the lotion again.

A soft moan comes out of me when she applies pressure to the point right in between my shoulder blades. Her fingers skillfully knead my skin from lower back up and down again, concentrating on each knot in my muscles.

"Oh yes...So good...Keep going, Diana. Ahhh..." She's so good that I can't help but be loud...and notice her two-second pause every time I moan and groan in delight.

She is just quiet, seemingly focused on massaging me while Sky is completely unbothered because he is wearing AirPods which I think are fake.

She proceeds to my left upper thigh, the tip of her fingers pressing into the inner part, and I notice that they are inching closer and closer near my crotch in every cycle.

Seriously? Is she teasing me or what?

"Oh, God. Do it again, that one,"' I demand, referring to a spot in my inner thigh.

"Right here?" she presses on it again.

"Yes. Right there. Oh, yes...Press it."

"Like this?"

"Yes. Harder, Diana."

I'm starting to get really hot all over my body, especially on the part between my legs as I urge her to be harder on me.

I swear I heard the very deep sigh that she just released right now despite the sound of waves and the delighted noises of people around.

"Seriously girls, I can't help but think that I am listening to a lesbian porn right now," Sky intervenes, imposing his existence at this tensed moment. I thought he was wearing AirPods?

I wait for Diana to say something about it but she stayed quiet and so am I. She continues massaging me, from my feet up to my legs and thighs, quietly, carefully, and harder as I liked...

I can feel how focused she is and how deliciously hard she presses on my skin despite the softness of hers, effectively releasing all the tension that has pent up in my muscles.

"Oh my gosh, you really are so good, Diana..."

"My aunt taught me how to properly massage. She was a professional masseuse." she shares in a slightly cracked voice after a few moments.

"Explains the skill...I love it."

"I remember her, D. She was really good." Sky butts in again. Why is he here again?

"Ah...I think I need to get wet now," I blurt out to my surprise.

"Ano? (What?)" Diana asks with a seemingly confused tone.

"I mean, we need to swim after this," I clear out. I feel the urgent need to cool myself down after this.

"Yes, yes, of course. Are you okay now or...?" she asks while hopping off of me. I roll over to my back and prop myself up with my elbow while my other hand holds my loosened bikini close to my chest. My new position finally allows me to see her face and I am surprised to see how flushed she looks right now. Maybe it's because of the heat of the sun...

"Can you do it on my face and chest too?" I ask while gazing intently right into her dark brown eyes.

My instincts are telling me that she is really tensed right now, but I don't want to assume things. I just feel so good right now, the kind of good that I feel whenever I tease men who are showing signs of attraction to me.

Frances, Diana Mackey is a woman for fuck's sakes. Have you forgotten about it?

Well, if she declines to put lotion on my chest and face, then my malicious thoughts about her might be possible because a straight friend will do this in a heartbeat without feeling uncomfortable.

"Sure," she smiles and immediately grabs the bottle of lotion again, making my shoulders drop.

Oop—!I might just be assuming things. But why am I disappointed with my current conclusion?

"Let me continue that, Sissy." enters David's familiar voice. How come we didn't notice him approaching?

"Sure. All yours," Diana hands him the bottle with a poker face and her gesture just struck a cranky nerve of mine.

"Do it on me too as soon as I'm done with you, Babe," David utters as he gives me a toothy grin.

Ugh! Seriously?

I don't know why but my boyfriend is starting to be really annoying since last night...
