"Winter."

"Hmm."

"Wiiiinnnn."

"Hmm."

"My Win!"

"Po?"

Winter looked up for a second to glance on Karina who's on her bed, lying on her stomach and her chin resting on top of her forearm. Karina was pouting, or more like sulking. She hid her face and mumbled incoherently. 

"Hmm? Di kita maintindihan, Rina." Winter turned back to her laptop, typing as fast as she could habang hindi pa niya nakakalimutan 'yung mga biglaang nagsilabasang ideas. She paused for a moment and waited for Karina to speak again. Ano na nga isusulat ko? She sighed. Mamaya na nga lang.

Winter stood up and plopped down on top of Karina, in which the latter groaned. She smelled her bestfriend's hair and smiled, just a habit of her. She loves karina's scent, especially when she uses her own shampoo (mas madalas nakikigamit si Karina ng shampoo ni Winter para amoy niya raw siya lagi).

"Did you shower na ba?" Winter asked, resting her right cheek on Karina's shoulder. She also wrapped her arms around her companion's shoulders, gently hugging.

"Why? Do I smell ba?" Karina asked, lifting her head while trying to see Winter's face.

Winter chuckled. "Medyo."

Biglang bumangon si Karina sa inis at nahulog si Winter sa mismong kama. She rolled her eyes. "Ah talaga? Lumayo ka sa'kin. Ang sama mo. Ang lambing-lambing ko sa'yo tapos ikaw inaaway mo lang ako. I demand justice in this friendship!"

"Ang OA mo talaga." Humiga na lang ulit si Winter nang maayos and opened her arms wide. "Come here na." Karina grinned and rushed to jump on Winter. 

Once they're settled, Winter ran her fingers sa buhok ni Karina, humming softly. Karina may be the older and taller one but she's a small baby when it comes to Winter. Gustung-gusto niya talaga kapag inaalagaan at nilalambing ni Winter. Yun nga lang, bibihira lang 'to mangyari so she always makes the most of the moment.

"Tight pa, please." Winter chuckled. She knew what Karina meant kaya naman she used her free hand to tighten her hold kahit pa nakapatong naman na sa kanya ang kaibigan, and started rubbing her scalp na rin.

"Hmm. Do I smell ba talaga, Win?"

Cute. "Okay lang 'yan, normal sa body ang magproduce ng -- Aray!"

"Ang ewan mo! So di ka talaga nagbibiro? Tapos inaya-aya mo pa akong magcuddle." Akmang aalis na si Karina sa pagkakapatong kay Winter nang hinigpitan niya pa lalo ang yakap.

"I like your scent, your natural scent." Winter started and caressed Karina's back. To prove her point, inamoy pa niya ang leeg nito. "It makes me calm."

"Calm, calm. Nahiya ka pang umamin na nababahuan ka sa'kin."

Hindi na pinigilan ni Winter na matawa this time. "Ikaw ang ewan sa'tin, Rina."

Karina adjusted her position at ngayon, siya naman ang nakasiksik sa leeg ni Winter. "Win?"

"Hmm?"

"Inom tayo." Karina requested.

"Okay. Bukas ko na lang tatapusin 'yung presentation. Text mo na sila Ryu para makapag-usap na rin kung saan tayo. Wag lang sa bar, ha? Di kaya ng social battery ko ngayon to mingle with anyone."

Karina's hold tightened. "It's fine, dito lang. Tayo lang dalawa. We do it naman dati when we're not that busy pa. And I miss getting drunk with you."

"Ikaw lang lagi nalalasing, 'no. Mag-aaya ka ng 1v1 inuman tapos sasaluhin mo 'yung para sa'kin kasi ayaw mo 'kong malasing."

"Shh. Habit lang. At least may matinong natitira sa atin."

Tapos ako lang 'yung nakakaala the day after? Winter just smiled. "Bangon na tayo
