Unexpected Romance from a Boatman

Mysterious Night

April 3, 2012

It was the night of April 3 where things started to be on the edge.

I was nearly asleep when I hear a loud sound as if something has fallen. Alarmed, I got off my bed and checked it out.

Just outside my room, apples and oranges are scattered on the floor, as if it rolled its way from the kitchen. I headed to the kitchen and saw someone on the floor, lying. 

It was Henry. Sleeping half naked. With the stench of alcohol, "He's drunk" I confirmed. He must have fell out of consciousness.

"Why does nobody heard him? I can't help him by myself!" I said to myself.

Oh snap. I remembered, my Mom is on a trip again for some fixing with our business. And Manang? I guess she's just fast asleep.

I tried waking Henry up but he's just mumbling some words I can't understand.

"Henry, henry, gising! [Wake up!]" as I shake his head gently.

"Hmmm uhh" 

"Come on, stand up!" as I pulled his arms and help him stand. Luckily he gained some consciousness and help himself.

As I was guiding him walk, his body weight rests on my shoulders while the alcohol stench rests on my nostrils. Oh God, this tall man's too heavy for me. How far is his room?!

It took us long before finally arriving at the doorsteps of his room. With relief, I opened the door. And all heavens, the door was locked. The door was locked! How the hell does this happen. It's in the middle of the night, I was near asleep awhile ago, and all this happened!

"Urrgghhhhhhhhhh..."

Suddenly, Henry puked. He puked on us.

All those disgusting puke, the smell of hell, and this "God know's why he's heavy", are all over me. I wanted to scream badly and let him go, but I just can't leave him like this.

"Calm down Lee" I said to myself.

"Hmmmm uuuhhhh..."

I guess I have no choice but to let him sleep in my room. Dang it.

We arrived at my room. I reluctantly cleaned the residual puke from him and threw him in my bed on his belly. Luckily, I have an oversized shirt than I can let him wear. 

"Well how can I manage to fit it on him?" I asked myself.

I was about to turn his position, as I noticed again the scar on his back. But now, I can see it clearly. It was long and looked very painful. Around 10 inches long on the upper left of his back. I wonder how he got this. Maybe some accident or so.

I turned him at his back then inserted the shirt on his head. His face, I never noticed it before, but he's quite good looking. His lips are very subtle and looks soft as a cotton. His nose is trimmed and pointed. His eyes, even though closed, seem like very mysterious. His eyebrows are dark and full, making his face look strong and manly.

As I was fixing the shirt, I accidentaly touched his chest. I've got to say, he got some nice chest too. Not very bulky but with definition, not to mention its hardness. His nipples, very stiff with hints of pink on it.

I raised his arms to try on the shirt's sleeves. Can't help but notice, his arms showed how hard he works, his biceps and triceps shout hard work. It's not very obstructive but it's firm but gentle. His armpits are covered with dark hair, not too plenty, not to scarce. And I have to say, his armpits smell nicely as it overcome the smell of alcohol in his body.

After putting on the sleeves, I rolled the shirt to his stomach. Some small bumps in his stomach suggest some abs. Jeez, he effortlessly looked very well.

I got off the bed and looked at him while he's sleeping. He slept like a child, calm and tranquil. I can watch him sleep for awhile and be soothed against all the stress tonight.

I snapped out of him, and realized how smelly I am, and decided to take a shower.

I got to bed, next to him, barely having space as his legs and arms sprang widely. 

"Oh no, how can I sleep with this."

Henry, all of a sudden, wrapped his arms and legs all over me, hugged me tightly, and said:

"Wag mo na kong iiwan ulit ha... [Don't leave me again...]"

Shocked, I turned my head to see his face just few inches from me. 

He's still fast asleep, but tears are flowing from his eyes as he repeatedly says:

"Wag mo kong iwan... Wag mo kong iwan... [Don't leave me..Don't leave me..]"
