"You'll sleep on mine." he whispered on my ear as we walked our way through his suite.

Matalim ko siyang tinignan. "I don't like your tone."

"What?"

"You sound like you're going to wreck me!"

Sumabog ang garalgal na halakhak niya sa leeg ko. "Fuck, Gianna. I won't, okay? Just cuddle. We're both tired for that."

I hid a smirk. You see, Rashid. I'd be fine if you wrecked me tonight. Hindi ako magrereklamo. Pakiramdam ko, iyon din ang kailangan ko ngayon.

We ate lunch after we arrived from the island. Hindi masyadong maganda ang pakiramdam ko pagkababa sa bangka kaya naglakad lakad muna ako sa dalampasigan. He was tailing me the whole time. Nang mapagod ay bumalik kami sa resto para sa early dinner.

Tomorrow will be Hunter and Amber's wedding. Nakalimutan ko iyon. Rashid didn't told me about it but I remembered while walking in the seaside with him. If I will still stay here, surely he will stay too and he wouldn't go to the wedding. Kaya naman napag-isipan kong umuwi na bukas.

I told Rashid about it and he let me decide whatever I want. Mukhang kahit gustuhin kong manatili dito at h'wag um-attend sa kasal ay gagawin niya din.

But of course, its Hunter's wedding. If it's publicly announced, it will be one of the memorable wedding this year. Well, it's Cullen! What do you expect?

His room was at the same floor as mine. He said that it was a coincidence but who would believe that?

Naligo ako at nagbihis. Inayos ko na din ang mga gamit ko bago pumunta sa kwarto niya. He was all set when I came. Nakatayo sa veranda at nakasubo ang sigarilyo sa bibig. I stopped and stared at him for a while. Tinakpan ko ang ilong ko sa matapang na amoy.

"You still smoke?"

Binuga niya ang usok bago nagsalita. "Sometimes."

I nodded and sat on the sofa. Humikab ako kaagad nang maramdaman ang lambot ng sofa. Humiga na ako at inayos ang puting kumot sa katawan.

"Pang-ilan mo na 'yan?"

"Three.."

Ngumuso ako. Seems like he's going to smoke more. Well, that's fine. Mukhang ngayon lang naman siya naninigarilyo. It's okay.

He stared at me and cursed lightly. Tinapon sa labas ang kasisinding sigarilyo at dumiretso sa banyo. Pumikit ko sa pag-aakalang maliligo muna siya pero napadilat ako kaagad nang yumakap siya sa akin kasabay ng paghiga niya sa likod ko.

"Grumpy," he laughed. "You always ask me that before, you know? You're making me feel guilty.."

"Because we're supposed to sleep!"

"Yes.. Nandito na ako," malambing na usal niya.

"Akala ko ba maninigarilyo ka muna?"

"Galit na si misis, e." he chuckled and pulled me even closer to him.

I couldn't help to smile. Pinikit ko ang mga mata ko.

His arm will always be my resting place. Pakiramdam ko, isang haplos lang niya, ayos na ulit ako. Just like before, he's the only one who can tame me. The pulling trigger to my ticking bomb. He have bewitched my body and soul. Completely.

Nagising ako nang maramdaman ko ang pagduduwal. I immediately ran off Rashid's hug and ran to the bathroom. Gumalaw siya ng kaunti sa pag-alis ko. I even heard his rough moans. Sinindi ko ang shower para hindi niya marinig ang pagduduwal ko at h'wag siyang maistorbo.
