I don't have to be smart to know that Janine has something to do about this whole Cassandra thing. One look at her and I could tell that she's got her eyes to my man. And that's not okay with me.

Oxygen tried to talk me over about going to Janine, saying that he can handle it on his own and that I don't have to worry. Well unfortunately, he can't. If he really can get ahold of this issue, it should've been resolved right from the very moment.

"Janine has been out of town for a couple of weeks now, I tried to talk to her but I couldn't find her. Hindi ko alam kung ngayon, maabutan natin siya sa Bahay niya. Ilang beses din akong sumubok na puntahan siya dyan, pero laging walang tao." He said, keeping his eyes on the road.

"Criminal trying to escape," I rolled my eyes.

When his car entered an exclusive subdivision, he turned to me. He seem unsure, he doesn't have to say a word. I already know he's worrying.

"I'm okay, Oxygen. You can trust me. I won't do anything stupid, my God. Never in my life would I indulge a catfight. That's pathetic."

Hindi na niya sinagot pa iyon at nagpatuloy na lamang sa pagmamaneho. I looked over the window and my fist balled on the skirt of the dress I'm wearing. In a few, he stopped up front of a well-appointed house.

I didn't wait for his curtsey to open the car door for me, I did it myself. Hindi ko na rin siya hinintay pa na makababa, lumapit na akong kaagad sa dalawang gate na may katamtamang taas at laki upang hanapin ang doorbell at pindutin iyon. I'm not planning to stay long, so I repeatedly pressed it. No one's coming out from the fancy house.

Oxygen stood behind me. "Wala sigurong tao."

"How come a house like this doesn't have a maid?" Inis ko pa ring hindi sinukuan ang doorbell, though I know that there's more likely no one inside.

"Janine pays an on call housekeeper." Simple niyang sabi.

"And you know so much, huh?" I shot back in annoyance.

"Huwag mong sabihin na pag-seselosan mo pa iyon? That was long ago, Gabby." Malumanay niyang sabi bago abutin ang aking palapulsuhan mula sa likuran upang patigilin ako sa paninira ng doorbell ng may doorbell. "Halika na, uwi na tayo. Walang tao."

Ayoko. I'm not leaving, I feel unsatisfied. But what will I do? Huge percent of a hundred is saying that no one's in there. I'm near to giving up when a heavily tinted Land Rover came, Oxygen's eyes immediately went to that direction and a deep frown formed in his face.

"Who do I owe this visit from?" Those were Janine's first words when she get off the passenger seat of the car. She didn't even look back to see the car heading out, to where Oxygen have set his eyes on,

"Bakit kasama mo si Zach?" Diretsang tanong niya kay Janine bago ilipat rito ang matalim na tingin.

I was a bit shock, I thought he didn't know where Zach is? Kaya nga siya palaging sinasamahan ni Ethan, dahil nagba-baka sakali itong matunton nito si Zach sa pamamagitan niya. Was he hiding Zach from everyone? I get that Zach is his bestfriend, but how about Sasa? I couldn't imagine how hard all these thing are for her.

"Wala," Janine moved her shoulders like nothing as she walked towards the gates.

"Anong wala? Janine, I know that was Zach you were with." Angil ni Oxygen.

"Wala kang pakialam, Oxygen." She chuckled, her eyes shifted on me. She did a quick scan from my head down to my foot. Then she returned her eyes back to Oxygen. "What are you doing here? If you hadn't brought... wait, I'm not good with names. I can't remember who she is." She gave me a smug smile, oh how bad I wanna back her up the gate and throttle her neck to death. "If you hadn't brought her with you, I would've thought you might wanna scratch some itch. I mean, I'd be willing to. You know, I'm always willing when it comes to you."

"Janine, tigilan mo nga 'yan. Ang korni mo." Naiiritang sabi ni Oxygen, inabot niya ang aking kamay at ipinagsiklop ang aming mga daliri. "Tigilan mo na si Zach, ikakasal na 'yung tao-"

"That's not what he told me," her nose scrunched playfully. "But I'm not saying anything from what he told me."

I cleared my throat, reminding myself that I have to keep cool if I want to settle this issue properly. "We're not here to preach you about sleeping with a man near to be a father. We're here about Cassandra."

"And what's with the innocent nearly ignorant apprentice of a bitch?" She said in between her yawns as she opens the gate of her house. "I don't really like unexpected visitors but yeah, for old fuck's sake, you may come in with your girl, Oxygen. I'd make three cups of coffee, you of all people know that's what I'm good at. Without mentioning bed department of course-"

"If you won't stop reminiscing your meaningless sex with my man, I surely will take this by fist." I warned her, my eyes squinted when she looked at me, raising her brow like she finds me amusing. Oxygen squeezed my hand, his way of calming me down. No, I'm not planning to get physical with her, that's just an empty threat to let her know that I wasn't tolerating her flirting with him. "We're not staying long, we can talk here. All I'm gonna tell you is to make all your nonsense, stop. What have gotten into you sending that Cassandra pregnant, announcing for everyone to know that it was Oxygen's child is too childish yet too much!"

I'm getting straight to the point. Like what I've said, I don't wanna lengthen this conversation. I wouldn't talk to her if I have a choice. Who would love to talk with her boyfriend's past fling?

"Janine, tigilan mo na 'to. Hindi nakakatuwa. Wag kang tumeleserye." Si Oxygen iyon.

The confused look on her face is unmistakable, the frown and how her eyes blinked twice as if she's trying to figure things out. "Wait, I'm not following. What is this? Cassandra being pregnant with Oxygen?"

I didn't repeat what I said, I watched and observed her. She fully turned her attention on us.

"Since when did you hook up with Cassandra? She isn't your type. She's boring and plain, thought you want someone wild-"

"Can't you speak without bringing in how you and Oxygen were in the past?" Annoyed, I cut her off. "Move on, girl. You and Oxygen are so past tense. It's cool then, it's disgusting now."

"Oops, sorry." She grinned at me, not sounding sorry at all. I rolled my eyes. "Back to the poor Cassandra again, she's pregnant? Really?"

"Said she is. Having all the necessary papers to prove that she's three months pregnant with my child." Oxygen said in a careful tone.

Janine paused in a bit, then I saw realization hit her. Her eyes went wide, shaking her head. "That can't be yours! If she really is three months pregnant, it's impossible that it's yours. You've known her for less than three months."

"Exactly, that's why we're here. Trying to figure out who's the mastermind of all these shits." I said.

She arched her brow. "Are you blaming me?"

"Who else would've done this? Let's stop faking it. I know you got your nose into my man's neck, thing is I'll break yours before you could even sniff a scent." I threatened her.

Amusement rolled in her eyes as she looked at me. "Words seldom terrifies me, but just so you know. I won't do pathetic schemes as this. It wasn't on my slate. You know me, Oxygen. I already have so much drama in life, I won't be adding another one. Besides, what would I get from this?" Her gaze then shifted to Oxygen. "You? Don't take this in your head, yes you're gorgeous. And I like you. No, maybe it's the good meaningless sex that I like from you. You have less drama on your shirt and doesn't require commitments, I like that. But that's not enough to get me into doing such stupid, pathetic drama you're accusing me of doing. Here I thought, you know me better than anyone else does."

I don't know if I'd believe her but base on how she reacted, something inside me is pretty sure that she doesn't have anything to do with this.

Oxygen didn't say anything, he doesn't have to. I pulled him in the arm and started leaving.

"Good if you're not into this. If I'd know that you're the head of it, I swear I'll ruin you." Those were my final words, not bothering to look at her. I stepped into the car with Oxygen behind me, then I heard her reply.

"I'm already ruined, that won't scare me. Though I advice you check this thing with Winona. The bitch is sick. She's more likely to this, got hang ups from the past, maybe."

Ihahatid sana ako ni Oxygen pabalik sa bahay pero tumanggi ako. Hindi ko pa alam kung paano ko papakiharapan si mommy matapos ang sagutan namin kanina, I know she'd have many questions and I'm still not in the mood for answers. I told him to bring me to his condo instead. So, we're here.

"Why aren't telling Ethan about Zach?" I asked as I sat down the couch of his living room.

He went to the kitchen to get me some water, I thought he wouldn't answer because he didn't look back. "Hindi ako nagsisinungaling sa kahit sino, hindi ko naman talaga alam kung nasaan si Zach. Nakipagkita lang siya sa akin minsan na iyon ang gamit na sasakyan kaya natandaan ko. I don't even know to whom he have traded his car from."

"Have you told Ethan about you and Zach seeing at given times?" Tanong ko iyon nang binalikan na niya ako dala ang isang baso ng tubig na agad niyang iniabot sa'kin. Tinanggap ko iyon. "Thank you."

"Gabgab," he sighed and sat beside me. "I love both Ethan and Zach but if I were to choose one ass to save that'd be Zach's. Everyone will be willing to save Ethan's, though."

"That's not the point here, Oxygen." I started explaining after I drink half of the water from the glass I'm holding. "Zach is at fault. Someone is pregnant, Sasa needs her. He can't just run off-"

"He can, that's exactly what he's doing." Balewala niyang sabi.

"And you're helping him." I sighed. "Poor Sasa, couldn't get her baby daddy to be by her side through tough times."

"It wasn't Zach's fault." He said it like he knows everything, I turned to him wanting to inquire more but he dismissed the topic abruptly. "I miss you, it's been awhile since I have a lone time with you."

Got me feeling guilty, I pouted and set aside the glass. I scooted near him, kissing his cheek. "I miss you, too. Sorry."

His arm snaked on my waist, caressing the side of it. "Stop saying sorry, it wasn't your fault that your mom behaves rotten."

I chuckled, hugging him. "I hate it, but you're right. She's rotten. I'm sorry that she's rude, always rude."

"Well, rudeness is weak person's imitation of strength. Your mom is at her weakest point right now, I'd understand her for as long as I can." He said, understandingly. Then he planted a soft kiss on top of my head. "It won't lessen my love for you, though."

"I told her I love you," I smiled remembering that good feeling I felt when those words slipped off my mouth in front of mom. I looked up to him and enjoyed his surprised expression, I proudly grinned like I've done something that deserves a trophy.

"And?" He inquired, frowning.

I rose from my seat and positioned on his lap, straddling him. "And I love you. Really. I love you..."

"Gabby," before he could say something. My lips went down on him, I missed him. Badly missed him.

The kiss went longer that I've expected, must be that he missed me much as I do. His breathing doubled when his lips slid down to my neck. My body was dragged closer to his, I closed my eyes and feel him. He's hard, I can feel it. The urge to rub mine against him was so strong and I can't think of the whys to stop this from happening. I want this. I love him. He wants this and he loves me, too.

This is alright.

His grip on both sides of my waist tightened through my movements over his lap. Means he like what I'm doing. His mouth was busy kissing one side of my breast above the cloth of my dress. I'm heated. I want him. The hardness beneath my crotch teases my mind to do something, something I'd never thought I'll be doing.

He bunched up the skirt of my dress enough for him to have access to my underwear. The ripping sound of it is something I missed. I giggled on his ear and bit him there. He touched me and I'm lost.

"I want this wet in my mouth..." His erotic whisper radiated heat and power inside me. "Stand up, baby. Feed me."

That's when my hands went down, unsnapping and unzipping his jeans to free the prisoner he has inside. One touch and he groaned, madly.

"What the fuck are you doing? Trying to kill me, Gabby? You're succeeding." His raspy voice is making me go up in smoke.

"I want... I want the same thing, Oxygen." I whispered back.

He froze, he then pushed me a little just so he could see my face. "You want what?"

"Y-yours. I... I want a taste, too." How did one ask to give a guy a blowjob? And am I even sure about this? Was I even going to know what I was doing? Do I have to lick it or really suck it like a lollipop? Mom would kill me if she knew this but she would never know. This whole thing will be kept in treasure, just for Oxygen and I to open. For the rest of our lives.

"Gabby," he looked amused and unsure both at the same time. Like he doesn't know what to say. "Are you offering to suck my dick?"

It may have sound vulgar but that was it and neither I didn't know how to sugar coat it. I nodded.

He's silent for a moment. I was torn between hoping he said no thanks because I wasn't sure how this worked to being worried I'd turn him off by doing it wrong. I wished I knew more. I'm clueless.

"If I was a gentleman I'd say no that's okay. But fuck that, baby..." his erection went harder on my hand. "There's nothing more I'd rather see than my fantasies coming true. With your head over my lap and your mouth full of my cock."

His words were dirty but it ignites fire in me. Only then I realized how huge his dick is. Would my mouth be able to accommodate it?

"Gabgab, I wasn't a prince. I'm a maniac, I won't say no to you." He's delighted with my idea, I can see it in his eyes and that's enough booster for me to do this.

I moved off from his lap and he let me, he began pushing his jeans down along with his briefs. Leaving it bare for my sight. I swallowed, God help me.

The moment I kneeled between his legs, he stiffened. I may not know what I'm doing but there's always a first time. Without further ado I put inside my mouth, he groaned and I was scared I might've hurt him. I was about to move back when his big hand stopped my neck from moving. I gazed up at him, he's looking down at me. Watching me.

"Fuck, this is better than any of my fantasies." The pleasure in his eyes didn't go unnoticed.

I like it. I like it that he's thrilled by it. I trailed my tongue down to the length of and he trembled, this is exactly what he's doing when he's down mine. "Am I doing it right?"

I was hesitant to ask him but how will I learn it without asking?

"Ilagay mo lang sa bibig mo," he breathed. "Hanggang kaya mo. Just don't choke yourself, much as it thrilled me, I'd still rather have you safe."

His concern made me blush, I'm already sucking him in and he still managed to care. I giggled at the thought.

"You're enjoying blowjob, huh?" He said, amused.

"Not as much as you're enjoying it." I winked and get the work done before he could even form a backlash.

Not a moment later, string profanities was all I'm hearing as I suck him hard and deep. This is crazy but if this is one of the things that will make him crazy then I'm learning the art of giving it the best way.

Love will make you do crazy things you never thought of doing. Because love is a serious mental illness, hmm. I'm in love with Oxygen.
