Six Months [Book 1: Playboy Series]

Chapter Twenty Five

I fell asleep on his chest, I don't know what time we fell asleep but I was really comfortable in his hug, nauna akong nagising sa kanya, he was still asleep, nakaharap ito sa akin.

I gently run my finger on the bridge of his nose.

"Hanzel" I softly muttered his name.

His head moved a bit, until he slowly opened his eyes, he looks at me, at saka unti-unting ngumiti.

"Good morning" he whispered.

His breath smells like menthol, ano ba 'to? Naunang magising sa akin tapos nagtoothbrush tapos bumalik sa tabi ko at nagpanggap na tulog? Nyemas, ang bango ng hininga ah.

"Good morning"

His hand went to my cheek, he softly caressed my cheek and brushed his nose against mine, napangiti ako sa ginawa niya, he then claimed my lips, I closed my eyes and returned to his soft kisses, he parted our lips.

"We should get going, babalik na tayo sa rest house, I'm pretty sure that's what they know"

He sighed at saka marahang tumango.

"Why don't we just stop that game? Let's be real, kasi ayoko na" he said.

"Sinong panalo? Sinong talo? You know the game yourself"

"I already said 'I love you', and I think that's enough"

"You know you can say that, kami lang naman ang hindi pwedeng magsabi noon"

He sighed, at saka tumango, hindi ipinilit ang gusto niya, the game has rules, but for the girls only, walang limitasyon sa kanila, pero sa amin ay meron, to be honest, hindi naman talaga sila matatalo, it's like 'matira ang matibay' challenge sa aming mga kasali, the one girl who can last for six months in their game without gaining affection to the one she has to please will win, but no one has ever done that, wala pang nanalo pero may umibig ng totoo, Marco told me that.

"Ano nga ulit yung sinasabi mo sa akin, Marco? That Tita doesn't want you to tell me" I asked him.

We were at the kitchen, he was making sandwiches for the two of us.

"Ah, the Six Months game"

"Ano naman yun?"

He gave me the sandwich, nakalagay iyon sa plato, I took it and took a bite, mmm, delicious.

"Well, its a game I'm involve to, it includes boys, girls, a game of affection sa loob ng anim na buwan, you'll be with seven men, although, isang lalaki ang sa'yo, one man per girl"

"And?" I grew curious with his game.

"Me and my friends held this game once in a while, whenever we're not that busy, since it requires a lot of time"

"Bakit kasi six months?"

"Well, surely you can't know a person with such a short span of time, am I right?"

"Yes, pero bakit ang tagal? Ang daming oras din non ah, I could run the business in that time, although, I am still in grieve"

"That's what we agreed upon, six months, it's like our past time, this one, yung magaganap ngayong taon ay huli na, we'll be going straight, because I'm going to be with Angela after this"

"Ang tanong will she be with you?" I teased.

"You'll help me, of course, I know you will"

Napailing na lang ako at saka kinagat ang sandwich ko, he placed a glass of orange juice in front of me.

"Teka, why are you stopping na ba?"

"Well, Diorr suggested we should stop what we're doing, eventually nagsasawa na rin naman sila, kaya huli na ito, you're lucky, masasali ka pa"
