One Night, Unexpectedly

53

•••

Bea left her place to go to Jia's condo at noon time. She hasn't recovered that much from Jia's question. Bea did not anticipate it because she knew Jia wasn't ready and yet the latter shocks her through text.

Bea was singing throughout her whole car ride with Jia in mind. Lahat na ata ng kanta sa radyo ay kinanta niya na. She wants to get to Jia already and it is good that the traffic is running a bit smoothly.

Later on, she is standing in front of Jia's door with gifts on her hand. Bea is anxiously waiting for her girlfriend to open the door.

Bea's face blushed the moment she heard its knob turn and can't wash it away.

"Hi."

Bea's inner self fell upon hearing her girl because it means so much more than it did yesterday. Jia's smile almost tore Bea inside, she is—they are happy, and at the height of elation.

"Hey." Bea couldn't say anything else other than that. She is shaking in and out, badly trying to compose herself.

Jia takes her hand and slowly pulls just as Bea was about to continue speaking. The door closes behind Bea and she gives the bouquet. She keeps a small box inside her pocket for later and placed their food on Jia's kitchen island.

Jia brings the bouquet to her bedroom and comes back to clung into Bea's arms. The two stayed hugging, soon sobbing in tears of happiness. Their hug tightened, and took turns in whispering in each others ear that made them cry harder.

"I love you. I'll take care of you. I'll walk with you." Bea sobbed and cupped Jia's cheek for a heartwarming kiss. "I'll be sincere and honest with you. I may be a fucking headache but I will adore, respect, be faithful and loyal to you. Jia, you are the only one I know is meant for me and I want us to be each other's first and last."

Jia nodded in response before claiming her lips fervently. Their kisses are much more intense and passionate compared to before. Both not wanting to separate while becoming more free after opening a new page in their life.

Bea withdraws from kissing and smiles at Jia's hard blush. Bea puts Jia's hands around her neck, resuming with their business. She carries Jia all the way to the bedroom and carefully lays her on the bed.

Bea wipes away Jia's tears and stares at her beautiful figure. She has a body to die for and Bea is excited to claim and release all the love. Jia caresses her cheek and gives the brightest smile her girlfriend could ever see. Bea moves Jia's hand to her lips and closes her eyes while warming up to the touch and kissing it.

Moments later, they close in and let their love takeover, molding themselves into one.

Bea woke up in Jia's chest and moves up to the level of her head as she watched her sleep peacefully. She quietly traced Jia's face with her fingers and stops at her lips to which she pecked. Bea then showered Jia with light kisses, barely getting over from their love making.

Bea mentally slapped herself when she realized that they haven't taken their lunch. She moves away and covers Jia with blanket, kissing her forehead and brushing hairs that covered her face.

Bea washed herself before putting up her shorts and big shirt. Jia made her bring clothes after staying over days ago too. She also gained a key to access the place anytime she wanted. The two agreed to be quiet because Jia's parents will surely be disappointed.

After reheating the food, she places it on the dining table. She feels two arms moving towards her stomach as she puts down their plate.

"Good afternoon, baby." Bea greets as she faced Jia. The latter kissed her chest while embracing. Bea holds both hands close and kissed the back of its palm. "I reheated our food. We forgot our lunch kanina eh."
