FRANKI'S POV

David said that it is an hour's drive to the Roque's mansion in the countryside, and I am somehow disturbed in my seat because of what Diana did to me earlier in our bedroom.

"I'm just curious...It is serious?"

Her sensual voice keeps on echoing in my mind the whole ride, causing my unexplainable silence inside her car. My lips are pouted the whole time as I rest my cheek on my palm while absent-mindedly looking out the window. I felt bad, actually, like really bad for some reasons...

The thing is...I really can't get her out of my mind. I always feel this weird, funny feeling deep down my tummy every time I think of her...

You mean, all the time since the first time you kissed her?

There's just a lot of things about her that is eating my thoughts up. It's like, I want more of her...

The hints of her scent from the leather seat and the interiors of her car are haunting me and have been wreaking havoc in my system right now.

I briefly glance at David beside me in the driver's seat and it feels weird...It feels weird to see him in that place instead of his beautiful sister.

I bring my pointer finger to my mouth and take a bite on my nail as the thoughts of us making out inside this car recollect in my mind. I unknowingly cross my leg over the other as that familiar tingly sensation attacks me once again. I am pretty sure that I am still wet down there because of what she has done to me on my dresser table a while ago.

She has done a really great job of getting back at me, alright. The playful side of me knocked me over earlier this day and she became a victim in no time. I just found out that teasing her and making her jealous can turn me on big-time...thus my action during our lunch this afternoon.

But I somehow regret it, because I got more affected by it more than she was as it seems...

She got back at me effortlessly though. Her teasing was classic, and the way she walked out of the room while leaving me wet and hanging made me want her more...

That mysterious and sexy look she threw me before disappearing through the door has got me craving for her taste at that very moment.

Oh my gosh, what am I thinking?

"I'm just curious...Is it serious?"

Her question again invades my mind and it caused me to heave another frustrated sigh.

I am straight. I am straight. I am damn straight.

I try to convince myself that I am straight. Maybe a little bi-curious? But I am straight...

I always admire women's beauties, only pure admiration but I only had experiences with men before. Only men...

Okay, I admit that I have always been curious about how it would feel like to kiss women but I never got the chance to experience it. I mean the real, passionate kiss and not that awkward smack straight women are forced to do with girls to impress perverts. I was surrounded by beautiful, straight women my whole life...

For some reasons, Jessica, my college roommate appears on my mind in a sudden.

I slowly shake my random thoughts away and start reminding myself that my boyfriend David Mackey is beside me. Although he has a lot of imperfections, he is sweet and cute, and hot...

Yes, Franki. You were straight until Diana came.

Shut the F up!

"What are you thinking?"

I heard a voice beside me but I still keep on internalizing these random thoughts.

"Baby," There goes the muffled voice again.

A soft poke on my cheek has jolted me back to reality.

"Huh?" I breathe out as I finally turn to David, who is looking at me with one hand on the steering wheel.

"I'm talking to you."

"Sorry, you were saying?"

"You're so preoccupied lately. What's bothering you?"

I bite my lower lip and look away before answering, "Nothing."

"Do you miss Australia already?"

I turn to him again and rub his arm in a convincing way, "No, no, no...I'm actually enjoying it here..."

"You can't fool me. Something's bothering you." His face is stern as if he can read through my mind, and the weird feeling in my lower abdomen intensifies.

"I don't know...We should have brought Diana with us, you know." I fold my arms over my chest and pout at him like a baby that I sometimes am.

"She's not invited, and these people are my college friends."

"Yeah, but I'm just used to her presence, you know. I don't think your billionaire friend will mind if she'll be there."

"Gino and Andre's girlfriends will be there and I'm excited for you to meet them. At least you'll get another friend aside from my sister. I'm quite surprised you two clicked, to be honest. She has always been aloof and weird, and you're the opposite."

Opposites attract they say, Baby.

"Are you kidding me? Diana is the sweetest!"

He seems to be slightly taken aback at my overreaction.

"Whatever." he gives me an eye-roll that I always find sexy before but the effect seems to be gone lately. "I'm here so you'll not be needing her later, okay?"

"Okay..." I absent-mindedly respond again before directing my gaze back on the window to appreciate the countryside sceneries at night.

Just like a split second later, I felt a vibration from inside of my purse. I open it to take my phone out and felt like fireworks exploded from my butt when I saw Diana's name on the screen.

"Frankiii, just wanna check if your underwear is still there in my car? 😳"

It took me about three seconds to process her text.

Fuck.

Subtly panicking, my eyes wander inside the car in every corner and angle. I remember her slipping it out of my legs and throwing it somewhere in the direction of...the backseat.

The backseat!

My eyes bulge in anxiousness and instantly land on the rearview mirror. I immediately found it resting on the center of the backseat for our eyes to see.

Shit. Shit. Shit!

I angle my phone away from his side and subtly compose my reply to Diana.

"it's in the backseat, omg! 🙈"

She immediately responds, the sound of the notification making David turn to me with a questioning look. I silently pray that he won't ask about it.

"Oh my gosh, Frankiii! Make sure he won't see it! 🥺💔"

With shaking fingers, I reply again.

"i will. dont worry...miss you already, btw. 😚"

I can feel the red tinge creeping up my face because of two things; my last text, and the shame because of my underwear.

I have been waiting for Diana's reply and silently praying that David won't notice my underwear during the rest of the ride. Time rolled faster because of these thoughts.

About fifteen minutes later, David finally pulls up into the circular, gravel driveway with a small, fountain in the center. I am kind of intrigued by the sports cars lined up randomly on the lawn in front of the mansion.

"I didn't know that your friends are this rich?" I casually blurt my comment out as I unfasten my seatbelt.

"Gino's already a CEO at a young age. His father is one of multi-billionaire business tycoons in this country and their clothing companies are stretched all over the Philippines and some other countries,"

"Whoa, that's impressive. And aren't those muscle cars?" I point to the direction of the cars ahead of us.

"Two of my friends are actor-models and the rest are either businessmen or elite models."

"Sky is here too, right?"

"I'm not sure, actually. He's not replying to me," There's a hint of disappointment in his tone. Why am I not surprised? He is his best friend.

"Oh, I hope he came. I kinda miss him too."

To be honest, Sky is also nice and I kinda wish that he will be here tonight though.

"I don't know. We'll see." he just shrugs his shoulder before finally snaking out of the car.

I quickly twist my body to the backseat and hurriedly reach for my panties. I had already stuffed it inside my purse before David had opened the car door for me.

An anxious sigh escapes my lips, the bottom one jutting out, causing my bangs to fan upwards before resettling just over my left eye.

My eyes pan the perfectly lit house with anxiousness. It looked like a cut out from a very popular magazine where a billionaire celebrity whose multi-million worth house just got featured at. It looks like it got lost in the middle of a slightly deserted countryside, so modern and beautiful. Everything was geometric and the door is as wide as it was tall. The exteriors are a mix of metallic, bricks, and glass, and the trees surrounding it is are the only hints of the provincial feels.

I can hear the upbeat music booming from the inside, giving me the feels of a lowkey elite party. David must have felt my anxiousness because he gives me a reassuring smile as he takes my hand into his and held it tight.

Both of my eyebrows arch down as I take his loving gesture in. I intertwine my fingers along his and try my best to channel some strength from him as he walks our way to the door.

I'll give him the chance for tonight. I badly need a distraction. I need anything but Diana to occupy my mind so I can function properly.

The music gets louder as we approach the front porch. He presses the doorbell twice and the door is immediately opened.

We are greeted by a tall, dark, and charming Asian-looking guy with a very lean posture. He is wearing this black shirt with FORZA name written on it. The name is kind of familiar. I think it is a popular clothing brand or something.

"Oh gosh, David! I am so glad you came!" he blurts out while extending his arm out for my boyfriend.

"Gino, boss!" Dave receives his handshake before leaning in for a manly shoulder hug.

Oh, so this is Gino.

"Hey there! You must be Franki? I'm Gino Roque the IV,"

"Hi! Nice to meet you, Gino. What a beautiful house you got!"

I have then my hand shaken in a vise-like grip with a very formal expression in his face.

"Actually, this is not mine. It's from my lolo (grandfather). My uncle inherited this and I'm just borrowing it for this party. I have mine in another province, but this one's the most accessible for everyone." he starts talking as he leads us the way inside the vast room. "Please, make yourself comfortable. We are just getting started."

There are about ten persons in this wide place. My eyes wander around the place and the first thing I notice is a couple—an Asian woman and a Caucasian male— making out against the grand piano in one corner and this one attractive guy across us leaning against the wall with a leg bent and a red cup in his lips. He has bushy brows, deep-set eyes, and pale skin. I immediately looked away when I noticed that his intense gaze is directed on me.

I take a double look when I realize that he's really attractive, in a jerk-ish kind of way though. I mean, I have seen far more handsome guys in Australia and L.A., and across the world, but I was once a sucker for bad boys...

I look around and expect to see Sky but I haven't seen any traces of him yet.

David rests his hand on my waist as Gino leads us to a room with a huge pool table and a cool-looking bar with a lot of imported and expensive wines and alcohols of all kinds displayed.

"David! My man!" Another tall, moreno guy with one of the sharpest jawlines and nicest body physiques that I have ever seen approaches David with two red cups of beer in both hands. David then pulls him for a shoulder hug.

"Marco! Na miss kita, grabe! (I miss you!)" David starts talking in Tagalog.

"Girlfriend mo?" The guy nods his head in my direction.

"Well, ako pa ba?" David shrugs with a boastful demeanor.

"Nice. very nice. Itagay na natin yan, Bro! (Let's drink on that, Bro!)" Marco hands the other cup to him and David immediately gulps it down to my surprise. They then start talking about me like I am some freaking object and I already hate him. The way they talk also makes me feel like I am not existing in front of them.

"Hello po! Ako si Franki! Nice to meet you guys!" I chime in, trying my best to be cheerful and respectful despite my very bad first impression on him.

"Oh, baby, this is Marco. He is an actor-model here."

"What's up, Franki?" he brings the cup to his mouth and winks at me and I only responded with a reluctant smile. There are two more guys who joined the room, all attractive as well; Brandon who reminds me of Orlando Bloom for some reason and Ethan, a Hispanic looking skinny guy. They start to challenge David and Gino for a pool battle and I made myself comfortable in the comfy looking seats in one corner of the room.

Moments later, a charming morena ((dark-skinned) girl emerges from another room and goes to hug Gino from behind while he is about to strike the cue ball. There are hints of Japanese in her facial features and she is pretty in her own way.

Gino throws the cue stick to David, signaling him to take the current turn again.

"There you are. I have been looking for you." he whips around and sweetly speaks to her while scratching the back of his head like a shy schoolboy. He then grabs her arm and drags her toward my direction.

"Franki, this is Kiara. Kiara, this is Franki, David's girlfriend. She's a model from Australia and is having a short vacation here."

"Hi, Franki!" she greets me with an enthusiastic wave before joining me on the couch.

"Wow, you're so pretty. Like really pretty..." she compliments me while staring at my face with girly admiration.

"No, mas ganda ka, " I say in Tagalog. I tried my best, you know. Thanks to my teacher...Diana.

Ugh, I again remember her.

"Bolera ka ha."

"Bolera? What's that?"

Kiara just laughs it away without bothering to translate it to me. I swear I have learned it before but I just forgot about it. A part of me is more eager to learn the language...

Why the need when you are only staying here for half a year?

I mean, I am actually in the process of learning my roots aside from enjoying my vacation here, you know.

"You both look cute together," I comment as Kiara and I start talking about our boyfriends.

"Oh, I think you're mistaken."

"What do you mean?"

"Gino and I are just friends...I mean, we are still in the getting to know each other stage,"

"Oh! Sorry, I thought you were together. He seems to really like you. I mean, he keeps on looking at you from here as he plays," I really love observing people.

She just gave me a forced smile as she shrugged her shoulders. "Do you like Australian guys?"

"Uhm...I had an Australian ex, but I actually don't have a type. When love hits you, it will just hit you...hard." My gaze jumps from her to the blank wall beside her as Diana's images peeked into my thoughts again. "It's not about the age, or color, or gender..."

Shit. I really did say the last word, didn't I?

It was too late already because of Kiara's meaningful smirk at my last word. Wait, did she just smirk? Why? Am I that obvious?

I immediately change the topic.

"And oh...Japanese?" I refer to her preference.

"Uh—"

Our conversation was cut-off when the couple who were making out earlier emerges from the main living room.

"Lou-Lou! Come over here!" Kiara beckons for the woman with utter enthusiasm. She turns to face us and I now had the chance to check her out. She has this exotic, Asian beauty with long and straight black hair that flows impeccably over her back. She has tanned skin and a supermodel built. She's really tall, I think as tall as Diana... She's almost as tall as her boyfriend. She has these almond-shaped eyes with a gaze exuding a strong command.

She walks toward us with her half-Caucasian looking boyfriend who has striking, perfectly-shaped lips.

She sits in front of me, crosses her leg over the other, leans an elbow on her leg and rests her chin on the back of her hand before uttering the word,

"Beauty..." The way she is gawking at me elicited an uncomfortable chuckle out from me.

"Franki, this is Lou. Lou, this is Franki." Kiara did the introduction.

"Hello, Franki. What a beauty..." Lou mouths again, her gaze still on mine as if on a momentary trance.

"Really, such a beauty!" she speaks up again.

"Babe, that's like the third time you have said that," Andre inserts himself before burying his nose on the side of her neck.

"She's like a living doll, isn't she?" Kiara adds.

"I know, right? So what's your deal? Where are you from?" Lou asks,

"Oh, I'm from Australia. I'm a TV and print ad model there. For the print ad, I mainly endorse swimsuits."

Andre joins the guys in the pool match, while I start to enjoy the company of these two nice ladies. They are also attractive in their own ways, and I can say that it's with Lou's eyes and Kiara's exotic appeal.

But these women are nothing compared to my Diana, my gorgeous beauty queen...

Wow, "your" Diana?

"Wow, seriously? That's really cute!" I comment on what Lou just flexed about her modeling stint in Taiwan last year. She actually joined Asia's Next Top Model last 2017 and was shortlisted. I am not surprised though, given her modelesque physique.

"🙈❤ omg Diana, guess what, I met two new friends here, Kiara and Lou!!! they are so nice and im grateful theyre here!"

I just felt the need to update Diana through a text message. I kind of felt bad because I still haven't got a reply from her from my last text.

I am so hyped up with the two ladies for like the first hour.  In all fairness, they have managed to remove Diana out of my mind.

We talked about a lot of things. Kiara has been talking about surfing and singing while Lou continues to talk about her career and stuff until things got a little weird. They have been praising my beauty for every like five seconds especially Lou and I am starting to get kind of uncomfortable.

Diana has never been like this...

Diana...Diana...Diana...Do you know any other words aside from Diana?

"Holy fuck, dude! Are you serious?" I overheard David blurting out from across the room. He is wearing this shocked face this time and I am intrigued at the moment.

"I'm freaking serious, wiseass! I saw him kissing Rhyss last time and he was like, what the fuck?" The Marco dude is laughing his tonsils out.

"Damn, I can't believe it. Bakla pala ang gago! (He's actually gay!)" David replies.

"Disgusting fuckers. Buti nalang at hindi ko yan pinatulan dati. (Good thing I ignored his advances before.)" Brandon replies with disgust written all over his face.

"Hey, hey, hey guys. Slow down. Slow down." Gino pacifies them with soft hand gestures. I'm not sure if they are still playing the game because my boyfriend is now sitting on the pool table with like seven cups littered on the floor in front of him.

"Girls, what are they talking about?" I ask both Lou and Kiara even though by reading their context clues and stuff, they are mocking their college friend who apparently turned out to be gay. I felt like I am the one getting insulted.

"Just some guy stuff, you know. 'Wag mo silang intindihin. (Don't mind them)." Lou answers with her eyes still on me. She is so close to me I even caught the hint of beer in her breath.

The way everyone is dealing with the topic right now, the laugh and the apathy, is making me mad. I mean, so what if their friend is gay? Love has no gender. We are now living in a generation where being gay and different is gradually turning to be socially acceptable. I mean, in New Zealand and Australia, they don't usually make fun of the LGBTQ community. At least, I have now witnessed a bad thing in the Philippines. Diana was right. David is actually homophobic and I am getting more disappointed at him as they continue to trash talk their friend whose name seems to be Mich or something.

I send another text to Diana and this time, I am not expecting a reply from her. At least in this way, I feel little safer somehow just by knowing that there is a way to communicate to her.

"i really don't like it here...wish you were here tho 😢💔"

"They are always like that, you know. Except for Gino. He doesn't join those topics. You know what..." Kiara sighs as she snatches my cup and puts it down the table together with hers. "Since we're the only girls here, why don't we have our own little world in one of the guestrooms upstairs?" she grins while looking at Lou.

"Good idea, Kia." Lou instantly springs up from the couch.

"I-I think that would be fun!" I reluctantly agree. Both girls grabbed some drinks and glasses before dragging me up to one of the guest rooms where there is a queen-sized bed that looks kind of sensual because of the silky red bedsheet.

Lou heads toward a Bluetooth speaker on one corner while Kiara starts to fill our glasses from the bottle of Jack Daniel's.

I arrange my bra strap as I sit on the edge of the bed.

I think this will be fun. I again take my phone out and intentionally sent Diana the location of this mansion.

"oops sorry! Just in case you change your mind. hehe 🙈💜"

(A/N: Go to the lyric video attached above and listen to the song from here. Please do. For a better reading experience.)

Lou finally plays a song from her phone and Rita Ora's Girls start echoing from all corners of the room.

🎵Her name is Lara, we learned a lot, ah
How to do it, like we do it, like we wanna
We just know, we just know
I ain't one-sided, I'm open-minded
I'm fifty-fifty and I'm never gonna hide it
You should know, you should know🎶

"Nice song of choice, girl!" Kiara exclaims with a thumbs up as she hands me a glass of alcohol.

🎵All summer, we been in the 'Bu
'68 Chevy with nothing to do
Just rolling J's, kush lovin'
And last night, yeah, we got with the dude
I saw him, he was looking at you
So I said "Hey", kush lovin'🎶

Uhm...I think it is practically about bisexuals?

Lou starts dancing around, seemingly tipsy now and goes to grab Kiara's hand. She pulls her up and both of them start dancing sensually in front of me, bodies grinding against each other into the sexy music.

I lean back and rest my palm on my cheek as I start watching them. I swallow hard as I again think about Diana and everything that has happened between us. Those intimate moments start playing on my mind like a beautiful slideshow with a rainbow border.

I don't know why but I am starting to get aroused?

🎵Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls🎶

Ah...I so badly want to kiss Diana right now. Ugh.

I didn't know that I am lowkey biting on my lower lip and pressing my thighs together...hard and the throbbing becomes even more prominent. Both girls turn to me, smirking, and immediately sit on my either side. Lou takes a hold of my hair and flips it on one side while Kiara snatches the glass out of my mind and places it on the floor.

"Ah...girls? What are you doing?" Both of them now are all over me on my either side, and I giggle nervously.

"Oh my God, nakakaloka! Look what I have found, Kia!" Lou blurts out with extreme excitement.

I didn't notice Lou opening my purse from behind me without any permission and the next moment, she is now twirling my lacy panties around her finger.

"Oh my gosh, you guys!" I immediately snatched it and crumpled it before shoving it back in my purse. They keep giggling non-stop while I am now sweating my heart out from the overflowing embarrassment and awkwardness. I think I can be mistaken as a tomato right now. thew whole part of me is so flushed!

🎵You know I tamed it, and then I named it
I put the lion in the cage and then I laid with her all night
Her all night, yeah
I'm the hunter and she's the prey, yeah
I'm the thriller, I'm the killer, I'm the saviour
Up all night, we up all night, yeah🎶

"So Franki...Have you ever kissed a girl before?" Kiara asks while staring at my lips while Lou is running the back of her hand on my left thigh. I don't know why I suddenly want to go over that window adjacent to us and jump my way out.

"What a perfect, smooth skin you have, Franki...Beauty talaga," Lou murmurs, her nose an inch away from my jaw.

"Uh, girls? You're kind of weirding me out right now?" I blurt out while leaning away from them. My gosh, they are so all over me and it is so awkward!

Diana lang!

"She pings, right Kia? Gusto niya din to, (My gaydar works on her, right Kia? She likes this too,)" Lou asks Kiara with her drunken eyes are still laid intently on my face.

"Oo nga eh. Ramdam ko siya besh, (Yeah, I can feel her, beshie.) " Kiara responds in Tagalog, and all I can hear are gibberish words. I don't understand a thing!

Kiara's hand starts to run on the top of my chest while Lou's starts to unstrap my bra from behind me. Kiara then grabs my face and I gasp when she is about to kiss me.

The door opens all in a sudden and Andre comes barging unexpectedly.

"Baby, what the fuck? Seriously, are you doing this again?" he snaps with his nostrils flaring.

"What are you talking about? Ang killjoy mo naman. We are just having fun here," Kiara thrashes out.

"Shut up, Kia. Lou, we're leaving, "Andre storms toward his girlfriend, and I am inwardly relieved with his interruption.

"No! We can't! Ang aga pa guys, ano ba. (It's still early, guys.)" Lou snaps while looking at me.

And then the three of them start to bicker in front of me and I am here feeling even weirder and more awkward at each second passes by.

"I think I'm gonna go..." I murmur in my soft, agitated voice, almost whimpering before sprinting out of the room while ignoring their protests in the background.

Making sure that I am safe and out of their sight, I grab my phone again to text Diana. I am so sweaty right now and I am having a hard time catching my breath.

"omg guess what just happened! u really have to come, Diana! I need you, pls!"

At this point, I don't care if I sounded desperate. I'm fucking scared, you know!

But seriously, she really won't reply to me?

Remember, she's with Veronica right now...

FUCK.

My only hope right now is David. David Mackey. My boyfriend. Yes, my boyfriend.

I came back to the billiards room but the guys are not there anymore.

I dial Diana's number as I aimlessly roam around the vast mansion looking for David. I follow the sound of the blasting party music and found myself heading at the back where a huge pool was actually existing.

Beer bottles are littered everywhere on the floor on my way to the poolside. I drop my jaw in surprise upon seeing David being held upside down by Marco, Brad, and Ethan while he chugs down a beer from the huge liquor dispenser while the seemingly drunk Gino is cheering hardcore for him. They are all half-naked, wet, and wild.

David is hopeless at the moment. I can even smell the weeds from here. My hand flies over my chest as another wave of disappointment floods it.

These scenes are so familiar to me way back in those wild parties that  I had been in Australia, but at this moment, I feel so lost and out of place...

I anxiously check on my phone again and Diana is still not calling me back. I really am on the verge of crying right now. My face is crumpled into regrets, disappointment, and all other negative emotions.

I walk back inside before someone could find me but on my way to the main lobby, I am again caught off-guard when I saw Lou and Kiara making out in the couch in front of the fireplace while Andre is sitting across them with arms lazily stretched out on the headrest while watching them with an enjoying grin on his face.

Oh my gosh, Diana...I'm scared!

I scurry outside the mansion while I keep on looking back to check if someone saw me. I gasp when I suddenly bump into someone and my breathing hikes when I met those familiar, lustful eyes staring down at me.
