MLS: YOU'RE THE ONE

CHAPTER 21:
"CHANGE"

I woke up, facing the ceiling after an hour of sleeping habang ang aking kamay ay nakahawak sa kaniyang kamay buong gabi. He laid his head on the matress as he sleeps in a sitting position. He held my hand like he doesn't want to let go since that night.

Sinabi ko sa kaniya na dapat siya yung sa kama matutulog... But he told me na dito na ako matutulog sa kama. I offered in us sleeping in the same bed since parte naman 'to sa gift sa kaniyang kakilala. I would feel bad if he doesn't get to sleep on it in the middle of the night; but he doesn't want to and he told me that I shouldn't feel bad about it.

Mas napapahindi pa nga siya na magshare kami ng isang kama. Ewan ko kung bakit pero I respected his decision. Tsaka, there's a part of me na sumang-ayon sa kaniya kahit ako ang nag-suggest sa ideyang 'yan.

Speaking of last night, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa nangyari... Parang panaginip lang ang nangyari.

Pero hindi... Hindi iyon panaginip. I kept blinking and slapping myself and yes, it wasn't a dream. That was reality.

Nagising siya minutes after ako nagising at sinalubong niya ako ng magandang ngiti. He sat on the matress and kissed me on the forehead. "Good morning, MJ." He greeted.

Those words... Aren't new and new at the same time. I've been imagining things about him that we are together or just friends.

"G-good morning." Utal na sabi ko.

Bumangon siya at nakita ko na naka white sleeveless at white pajamas siya. His smile became brighter since that night na para bang ako lang ang makapagngiti sa kaniya ng ganiyan. And I want it to remain that way.

"Punta na tayo sa baba. Baka hinihintay na nila tayo." Sabi ko.

"Masyado pang maaga. Let's have some time alone." Malambing niyang sabi at tumayo para buksan ang mga kurtina, causing the sunlight to enter the room. Then, tinabihan niya ako sa kama. Nakaupo kaming dalawa at pinasandal niya ako sa kaniyang balikat. He then kissed my forehead and held my hand.

Nabaguhan ako at first but I ended up starting to learn to get used to this kind of feeling. The feeling of being loved by the first man I loved in my entire lifetime.

So this is what it feels like at first... it's so... beautiful and comforting. I love it.

"Did you have a good sleep last night?" Malambing niyang tanong habang nanatiling nakayakap sa akin.

This man is making it hard for me to even breathe ever since what happened last night. Did he expect that I have a good sleep after the time he told me that he loves me? And that we both kissed? Shocks, first kiss ko ang first love ko! How would he expect me to have a good sleep after that?

I only slept about less than an hour or less!

At nung maalala ko iyon, nahiya tuloy ako na magpakita sa kaniya. For sure I look haggard! Na parang isang zombie na gumising sa kabaong. Nakakahiya!

Hindi na lang ako nagsalita.

"MJ, why didn't you answer?" Takang tanong niya.

He held my hand pero agad kong binawi iyon. "MJ, okay ka lang?" Tanong niya ulit.

"Please look at me... Love."
