Palawan Strangers (CharDawn)

Ten

He was still grinning even if he lay down in the bed, alone.

His heart was full.

He then checks his phone. There– Dawn's number appeared on his screen. Finally, A communication.

Then he reads her message.

If you only know how much I wanted you so bad. See you in my dreams, maybe?

Anak ng–

He is smiling like an idiot.

His facial muscles were already stiff from too much smiling.

Fine, nakakakilig.

How will I sleep?

Dawn awoke with a start, she felt tired from what had happened. The room is silent. When she looked around, Lea and Sienna weren't around. She reaches for her phone and finds Richard's messages. O, nagreply naman pala. She remembers falling asleep waiting for Richard's reply.

He replied from her text message, Good mornight, Ma'am Dawn. Let's just meet in our dreams.

Then he texted her again just an hour ago, I woke up with a happy heart. I miss you already. Let's meet later?

Dawn rolls her eyes yet smiling. Ang clingy naman.

Were you still sleeping? Please text me if you have already woken up.

She remembers how he touched her, she had enjoyed every second of it. She received what she had desired since she'd first laid eyes on Richard. She forgot the feeling of being touched in such a masterful, easy way, clearly intent on her pleasure above anything else and asking nothing in return. Definitely yes, she had wanted every second of what happened to them last night. She has been in two relationships in the past but it was only Richard whom she allowed to touch her and explore her body. She has been timid in the past, only limiting her partners to hold her hands or hug her. To think, Richard was once a stranger and they were still not in a relationship.

Why? Richard had never shown her or made her feel taken advantage of. He was patient and knew how to wait. She only wishes that she has Richard's patience. The first time she encountered him, she immediately felt their chemistry, that one person who you instantly click with. He is that someone who she finally feels comfortable letting into her personal world. He has that aura –yung magaan lang.

Hello, Doc Pogi. She replied shortly.

Seconds later, Richard is already calling her.

Wow, ako lang yata ang pinagkakaabalahan niya.

"Morning" she answers groggily.

"Good morning, my woman," he says in a deep voice.

My woman. Her heart rate started jumping with how he had said it. The sexiest thing she wanted to hear in the morning. She bites her lip to control her giggling.

"Pero lunch time na," he says with a laugh. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, I did. Thanks to you"
