Yours Truly, Amari [Completed]

Chapter Twenty-Four

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

"HINDI BA pwedeng dito na lang ako matulog? We were not able to be together this whole day, kaninang umaga lang, please?" He pleaded as he hugged me from my side as we are watching Godzilla vs. Kong sa sala— pero ako lang ang nanonood; humaharot kasi 'tong si Amari.

"Ahm. Pag-iisipan ko, hush ka muna d'yan." I told him as my eyes were focused on the TV because the graphics that fascinates me.

He put his head on my shoulder and that is where I looked at him because it was so unusual that he didn't defend. Then, I saw him with close eyes. Aww. Look at this baby. "Napagod ka yata, ngayon? Okay then. You can sleep here." I stated as I slightly stroke his hair for a brief moment.

He hummed. "Yeah. Na-drain ako, love. I want to sleep already." He muttered lazily na mukhang antok na antok na.

Love daw 'di naman ako love. Joke! Umepal na naman ako. I chuckled a bit before pausing the movie. "Oh, tara tulog ka na. Then, ako na magtuloy ng movie." I stated before moving slightly away so that he could seat properly.

He grunted. "Iwan mo 'ko do'n? Ayaw ko. Dito na lang, ako sige. You can finish it but I wanna sleep with you." He whispered but enough for me to hear. Napangiti ako at pinigilan na maglupasay sa kilig ang sarili.

I cleared my throat. "Aysus, osya. You can lay your head on my lap." I instructed before grabbing a throw pillow and putting it on my lap.

He didn't protest out as he motioned himself at mabuti nalang sa sofa-bed kami. Hindi nga umabot hanggang dulo ng paa niya when he lay his feet first. Nagtakha ako nang tanggalin n'ya ang unan sa hita ko before he put his head on my lap without the pillow bed.

"I want you lap not your throw pillow." He muttered.

Nakaharap siya sa tyan ko at nakadapa na as he wrapped his arms around my waist. My heart swell before smiling and massaged his scalp. Inabot ko naman muli ang remote at tinuloy ang movie but in a very low volume— buti na lang may subtitle.

His breathing became even immediately kaya napangiti ako. Hay, what a day. I have gotten myself a boyfriend.

KINABUKASAN.

My alarm clock rings furiously. I groaned before I took it from my side before turning it off. I squinted my eyes open when I smell pancakes and when I looked at my alarm clock— it was already 5:30 in the morning. Naalimpungatan ako before stirring to my side and opened my eyes fullu. Natulala ako ng panandalian bago ko maalala ang lahat ng nangyari kagabi.

My eyes widen and saw myself covered with a blanket as I lay on my bed. Napakamot ako ng ulo at hindi alam kung paano ako nakapunta rito? As far as I remember, after I turn off the television and unplug it without waking up Amari on my lap when I stand up, then, I sat on my own carpeted floor infront of a sleeping Amari and put my head on my crossed arms on the sofa and stared at him while my head was resting on my arms— and then I doze off to sleep. Hay naku, tanungin ko nalang s'ya mukhang s'ya 'yung nasa kusina.

I stretched out my arms before removing the blanket on me at umupo muna sa gilid at nagpahinga before standing up and organized my bed. I did some stretchings for early mornings. Pagkatapos ay pumunta ako sa banyo ko sa kwarto at nagmumog at naghilamos ng mukha.

Afterwards, ay lumabas na ako ng kwarto at mas lalo kong naamoy ang amoy ng pancakes. Kumalam ang sikmura ko lalo nang makita ang hubad-baro nitong katawan. I tried estimating how broad his shoulder was while my one eye was close pero napadiretso ako ng tayo when he looked back.
