Gone Forever (1/4)

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Nabitawan ko ang hawak na sketch book. My heart pounded so fast. Masyado iyong malakas na halos manakit na. Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko.

Even though I force myself to find a memory of Miko on my head, I can't seem to find him. Dahil ba 'yon sa setup ko sa nakalipas na mga taon? I forced myself to ignore everything and everyone around me. I was afraid for another heartbreak.

Kahit na hindi ko maalala itong mga pangyayaring iginuhit niya, hindi ko maiwasang hindi makaramdam ng tuwa. I'm overjoyed right now. Masayang-masaya ako sa natuklasan.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat maramdaman noong una. Pero...

A tear escaped my eyes. Sinundan iyon ng isa. At ng isa pa. Hanggang sa nabasa na ng tuluyan ang aking mga pisngi.

'Masaya ako pero bakit ako umiiyak?' Pinahid ko ang basang pisngi.

I only realized the reason behind my emotional reaction after I saw Miko at the door. He was holding a tray. Nakangiti niyang sinalubong ang mga tingin ko. Ngunit ng makita ang kalagayan ko ay napalitan iyon ng pag-aalala. Dali-dali niyang ibinaba ang hawak sa sahig at dinaluhan ako.

"What happened, love? Why are you crying? Did my sister offended you in some way?"

I put my index finger on his lips to stop him from asking. I shook my head and smiled.

"I'm just happy... So much happy." I cupped his face and leaned. I kissed his forehead.

The reason behind my emotional reaction... It was because I finally decided on something.

"I love you, Miguel..." I reached for his lips and locked my lips with his. Miko froze. He's probably surprised by my sudden move. However, I didn't stop. I gently nibbled his lower lip.

Nang makabawi ay hinawakan niya ang mukha ko. He then gently laid me on the bed as he matched my pace. He parted but his face stayed a few inches away.

He looked at my eyes, intensely. "...Can I cross the line today?" He asked, panting, with a sexy voice.

I gulped. 'You didn't even need to ask.' I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him for another kiss.

My coat was already off and the front of my blouse were almost opened when I heard a knock coming from the door. It seemed like Miko didn't hear that because he continued kissing me.

"Ehem. Ate? Kuya?" It was Mikaela. She knocked again. "Sorry to interrupt you two, pero nasa baba na si mommy."

"Miko?" I mumbled between our kisses. Pero tila ay hindi niya ako narinig.

"Uh... Hintayin ko na lang po kayo sa baba," she said before I heard her footsteps fade away.

Miko won't stop kissing me. Sobrang init na ng mukha ko. Nahihiya ako sa thought na nasa loob kami ng kwarto niya at naghahalikan habang nasa baba ang mama at kapatid niya.

Even though I love his kisses, I needed to make him stop. I cupped his face and moved a few inches away. He opened his eyes, still intoxicated with that certain feeling.

"Nasa baba na ang mommy mo..." I said in a slightly hoarse voice.

Doon lang siya tila natauhan. He realized the state we were in so he immediately get off me. His face immediately fired up. He covered his face like a shy boy.

I chuckled on that sight. Just a while ago, he was so sexy...

I fixed my clothes before facing him. I fixed his hair since it was me who disheveled it.
