Passion Of Dawn (COMPLETED)

18

Nagising si Scarlet nang maramdaman niya ang paglapat ng likod niya sa malambot na kama mang dahan-dahan niya na iminulat ang mga mata niya ay  ang guwapong mukha ni Alexander ang una niyang nasilayan, bakas sa mukha nito ang labis na pag-aalala. She felt ashame, nawala kasi siya sa sarili kanina at kung anu-ano na ang nasabi sa kaibigan.

"Scarlet," bigkas nito sa pangalan ng dalaga. "Bakit ka umalis ng walang paalam?"

"I-I'm sorry..." mahinang sambit niya.

"Tapos lasing ka pa nang maabutan ko, ano ba ang nang—" Napahinto si Alexander sa pagsasalita nang ilapat  ni Scarlet ang labi sa kanya. Agad niyang tinugon ang masuyomg halik ng dalaga. He took her face in his hands, cupping her jaw, Alexander's fingers brushed her cheeks while his thumbs pressed the curve of her chin.
Her dainty mouth opened the tiniest bit, but she didn't say a word. She looked deep into his eyes, pinapakiramdaman niya kung ano ang nararamdaman ng lalaki ngayon. Her stare really made him melt, that look. And then, she closes her eyes. This tugged a string on his heart, he then closes his eyes too. Looking out from beneath his lashes, Alexander leaned forward, his mouth parted the way hers had been, and brushed his lips gently over hers. Softly. Barely there.

Scarlet shivered, he felt it. Her eyelashes fluttered as she tried to move away, but before she could he had placed his hands on her hips and held her in place. The kiss deepened, he was kissing him back, she was responding in return.  Their mouths opened, his tongue slid against hers, a startling turn of events. Scarlet moved and found herself on his lap with his hands still gripping her hips and butt and her thighs pressing his sides. Her hands moved from his face to hold on to his shoulders.

"Scarlet..." Alexander muttered when they parted their lips. "H'wag mo akong akitin, may kasalanan ka pa sa akin. You know that my weakness is you."

"S-Sorry..."

"Alam mo ba na sobra akong nag-alala sa'yo?"

"I'm sorry..."

"Ni-text, ni-tawag, wala."

"Sorry..."

Sinapo niya ang pisngi ng dalaga, "huwag mo nang uulitin ang ginawa mo. Hindi naman kita pagbabawalan na magparty o umalis, magpakasaya pero please magpaalam ka. Mag-text ka man lang o tumawag sa akin."

"Promise, hindi na mauulit."

"Good, now take a rest. Mag-uusap tayo bukas, okay?"

"Ayaw mo na ba sa akin?"

"Ano ba 'yang sinasabi mo?"

"I was expecting you to bang me kaya nga kita hinalikan."

"Ng lasing ka? No, mahiga ka riyan at bukas tayo magtuos na dalawa." Marahan na inihiga ni Alexander ang dalaga sa kama, inayos niya ang pagkakahiga nito at kinumutan.

"Alex—"

"Sleep, you need rest."

"P-Pero—"

"Sleep."

"Nagugutom ako, gusto ko rin ng tubig or gatas. Basta kahit ano na makakapagtanggal ng sakit ng ulo ko."

"Iinom-inom, hindi naman pala kaya." Sarkastiko ang tono ngunit mababakas pa rin ang pagiging concern niya. "Stay here, I'll get you some food. I'll make you an iced-chocolate drink too, mabisa 'yon sa hang-over." Humalik siya sa noo ng dalaga bago tumayo mula sa kama, akma siya na maglalakad na  papaalis ngunit napahinto nang marinig niya ang pagtawag ni Scarlet.
