Sa Susunod na Habang Buhay

Chapter 12

I suddenly sobered up.

He just smiled at me.

"Fuck, answer me. Am I just seeing things? Or is that really you Yvan?" I begged. I badly need answers. I am so confused. Why did I let Ced kiss me? Or was it really Ced? Why is Yvan here? Why did he suddenly show up after days of no communication? Am I dreaming? Do I just miss him that much kaya I see him standing here in front of me? Heck, I want answers!

But I did not get any. Again, he just smiled at me and leaned in to kiss me. I did not respond kaya he stopped.

"I missed you, hon" was the last thing I heard before everything went black.

----

"The heck?" I groaned as I opened my eyes I immediately shut it close because I was welcomed with freaking sunlight. Ang liwanag, shocks!

I sat down as I slowly opened my eyes, allowing myself to adjust to the brightness.

Ugh, freaking hangover.

Dahil tinatamad pa akong bumangon, plus nahihilo ako, I decided to just call ate.

"Ate steph!" sigaw ko sabay tamad at pabagsak na nahiga ulit. I closed my eyes even after I heard the door of my room open.

"Ate, my hangover is killing me. Just how much did I drink last—SHIT!" napadilat ako wala sa oras nang maputol yung sasabihin ko because of a peck on my lips. Napaupo tuloy ako habang dilat na dilat ang mga mata. Nakita kong napaatras yung humalik sa akin.

HECK? WHY IS HE HERE?

I tried to recall everything that had happened last night.

"Where is Ced?" ang unang tanong na lumabas sa bibig ko. My last memory was kissing Ced.

"Hon naman, kagigising mo lang tapos si Ced kaagad ang hinahanap mo?" tila nagtatampong sambit niya.

"I..."

"You...?"

"I uhm... kissed Ced uh, last night." I nervously confessed while looking down and playing with my fingers. Napatingin lang ako sa kanya when I heard him laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" Did I say something funny?

"I was the one who kissed you last night" HE WAS THE ONE WHO WHAT? How about the dance...the grinding... the—

"..And I was also the one who did an intimate dance with you" he added as if he read my mind. It was probably written all over my face.

But, how? I mean, I was with Ced in the dance floor last night. I saw his face in the dark. Oh, right. It was dark. I must have been mistaken.

WAIT! HOLD UP!

"You had the audacity to kiss and dance with me when you did not even contact me for days?" mataray kong sabi sa kanya to which he just chuckled. SIS! THE NERVE OF THIS GUY!

"Get out." That made him stop laughing.

"I said GET. OUT." Madiin kong pag-uulit sa sinabi ko.

"But, hon..."

"Don't make me repeat myself Christian Yvan"

"Oh shit there goes my full name" I heard him murmur before smiling sheepishly at me.

"I'll wait for you downstairs, my love" was the last thing he said before he rushed towards the door.

I rolled my eyes and lay down on my bed. I closed my eyes once again and let all my thoughts flow.
