Hide And Seek (A Series #4)

Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Black folders

"Keep safe, you two." Mom said to us while hugging Petra and Santino, the two rabbits she shipped.

She made the rabbits wave their hands at us. "Say, 'Bye, Ate Ee and Kuya Fidai,"

"Mom,"

Tumawa siya nang sumunod ang mga rabbit. "I'm just gonna play with them. Wala pa akong apo, e."

"Mom!"

Humalakhak naman si Fidai at mas lalo akong hinapit sa baywang.

"Your Mom is suggesting something, darling. I guess I need to work harder," he smirked.

Umiinit na talaga ang aking pisngi sa sinabi niya. Kinirot ko siya sa tagiliran at umirap. I waved at Kaden who's playing with the other rabbits too. He nudged a smile at me.

"Bye, hija. See you soonest."

Mahina akong humalakhak. "Mukha namang hindi ako babalik, Mom."

"E, baka hindi ka na isasauli ni Fidai sa akin."

"Ihahatid ko siya rito ng walang galos at sugat, Tita."

She grinned. "That's my boy."

I laughed lightly at my mother's remarks. We bid goodbye. Like the legit goodbye na talagang papanhik na kami sa condo ni Fidai.

Dumating kami sa penthouse niya at agad kong binagsak ang sarili sa higaan. I did a few inhale and exhale while shutting my eyes. Being around here is nothing but peaceful.

Naramdaman ko ang pag-uga ng aking kanan kasabay ng mababang halakhak niya. I turn to the side and my head is his waist. He crouched down and layed beside me while wrapping me around.

"Hmm, I love your smell, darling." he whispered softly.

Sumiksik ako sa kanyang dibdib. "What do I smell like?"

"Home."

I smiled widely with eyes closed. I can feel his heart beating. It is thudding gently from time to time.

"I'm tired, but I need a halfbath." pagod kong sabi.

"Pupunasan lang kita,"

Agaran akong umiling at tamad na umupo. Inu-unan niya ang kanyang kabilang braso habang nakatingin sa akin. I clicked my tongue subconsciously and strode towards his bathroom.

Dinala ko ang aking pantulog na damit sa banyo. It was a refreshing lukewarm water and when I slipped into my silver night gown, my eyes and body just wants to accept the night's call and sleep.

Hindi ko na nahintay si Fidai at nakatulog ako bago pa siya natapos sa shower niya. I woke up earlier than him so I decided to make breakfast instead of staring at his peaceful sleeping face.

Parehong may trabaho kami ngunit mas maaga ang in-time ko kaysa sa kanya. He is the heir of L.Aviation, most likely to be the next President of the company kaya hawak niya sa leeg ang oras.

A simple breakfast, pakbet with egg tsaka coffee niya. Sinalubong ko siya ng ngiti nang narinig ko ang yapak niya patungo sa kusina.

"Good morning!" bati ko ng masigla.

His hair is still damp and some buttons of his long sleeves is not yet in place. He puckered his lips before kissing my cheeks.

"Good morning, darling." he still had his bedroom voice.

Ngumisi ako at inayos ang butones niya. He lifted his head to me like a pampered kid letting his mother take care of his clothing. Natawa ako sa inakto niya kahit umagang umaga pa at hinawakan ang magkabilang pisngi.
