Not too long later, the bus arrived at the terminal, and all the passengers got off.

“Tay Ricky, I thought we were going to Bukidnon, but why are we in Cagayan de Oro?” Kayla, after looking around for a while, noticed that they were in Cagayan de Oro, instead of Bukidnon.

“We are just going to meet someone here. She will be the one to bring us to Bukidnon, though we might have to stay here for a few days.” Ka Ricky, who is now called “Tatay” by Kayla, answered.

“Where are we going to stay until then?” Ella joined the conversation.

“Everything’s been arranged.” Was Ka Ricky’s short reply.

The trio checked in at one of the more well-known hotels in the city and occupied a family room. Ella and Kayla were quite nervous during the check-in process, when they were asked to present their IDs, but nothing untoward happened. Their transaction went smoothly.

The room they rented was quite big, although it was a family room that is good for four people, its size could easily accommodate two to three more people. There were three beds in the room, one queen sized bed and two single beds. It also is quite luxurious as it comes with a silver, seventy-inch, wall-mounted Smart TV with cable channels placed in front of the three beds. The floor on the sleeping area is carpeted, there is also a closet that is big enough for it to be a walk-in type; refrigerator, microwave, and a proper dining area with a hardwood table and four chairs. The room also has its own high-speed wireless internet connection.

Ella and Kayla, though were quite amazed at how good their accommodation for the next four days is, did not give so much attention to these amenities as they directly went to the bathroom to see how it looked. The bathroom was located on the inner part of the room. Upon opening the door to the bathroom, they were more surprised and delighted to see what was inside. There was a big bathtub, six feet in length, a modern toilet, and loads of aromatic soap and shampoos.

“I’ll be the first to take a bath!” Kayla exclaimed in excitement. She immediately went outside and took some personal things from her bag and then ran to the bathroom. She quickly removed her clothes from her body and started showering, at the same time she started to fill the bathtub with water – not showing any care or concern about Ella who was still standing inside the bathroom, or the bathroom door that was still open. Ella on the other hand just looked at Kayla showering, observing her naked body, with no malice nor lust.

Kayla on the other hand noticed Ella looking at her, no, at her body.

“You can join me if you want. Close the door and let us shower together. I will help you clean your body…thoroughly.” Kayla said seductively to Ella as she started to caress her lady parts to graphically convey what she meant by her words.

An electric shock seemed to run through Ella’s body as her body reacted to Kayla’s words and actions, not in agreement but in repulsion of the thought the other party was suggesting.

“No thank you. I do not swing that way, I’m straight.” Replied Ella in a somewhat shy manner.

“Hmph! So is spaghetti, until it’s wet!” Replied Kayla, clearly not giving up.

Upon hearing Kayla’s reply, Ella just turned around and closed the door behind her. When she got out of the bathroom, she noticed that Ka Ricky was nowhere to be found, though she was not bothered by it. They were so engrossed with the luxurious accommodation that they failed to notice that Ka Ricky left.

A few minutes later, Ka Ricky came back, holding a medium sized, rectangular, navy-blue pouch about a foot in length and four to five inches in height. The pouch seems to be full as it looks like it is bulging.

Ka Ricky found Ella sitting on the bed and watching a lifestyle show on the television.

“Where is Kayla?” Asked Ka Ricky.

“She is still in the bathroom. She has been in there for almost thirty minutes.” Replied Ella without looking at Ka Ricky. She seems to be truly interested in what she is watching.

“Hahaha! So, she was the first, huh?” Ka Ricky was amused knowing that Kayla immediately took a bath. He seems to know the reason why, though. For he himself also did it when he first joined the organization. The man who invited him to join the organization has long since died in one of their clashes with the military, a decade ago. However, that person was the reason why he got to experience this luxurious life even for a short time for he was the camp leader and had direct connections with the higher ups of the organizations. Ka Ricky succeeded his place as the camp leader after that person’s death.
