#2: Strumming the Pain

Strumming 48

"Good morning, girlfriend. Breakfast in bed?"

I slowly opened my eyes, I couldn't open them fully because I was dazzled by the light. I can feel my whole body aching, especially down there. I looked at Kirk who entered the room, holding a tray of food. I immediately covered my face, feeling embarassed. I don't even know why, I feel like i'm red as a tomato now.

Inilapag niya sa may bed side table ang tray bago bumaling sa 'kin. My eyes met his when I peeked, and I saw him looking confused. When he realized, he started laughing at me. I rolled my eyes, and covered my face again.

"Why are you so embarassed? You aren't like that last night." he said with a hint of smirk on his face.

Tinanggal ko ang pagkakatakip ng mukha ko at nakita siyang nakangisi sa 'kin. I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him again, but he just laughed at me. Lumapit siya sa 'kin at inayos ang buhok ko dahil natatakpan ang mukha ko.

"Ang ganda mo sa umaga," he said softly.

"Sa umaga lang?" masungit kunwaring tanong ko sa kanya.

He chuckled sexily. "Ang ganda mo... kahit ano'ng oras. Ang ganda mo palagi, Shian."

I scoffed to hide the smile that is slowly forming on my lips. I averted my gaze, biting my lower lip. Binalik ko lang ang tingin ko sa kanya nang magsalita ulit siya. I looked at the food he prepared.

Pancakes, eggs, bacons, coffee, and also a glass of water.

"Let's eat, love. It's already ten o'clock," sabi naman niya sa 'kin.

Dahan-dahan naman akong umupo habang kinuha naman niya ulit ang tray para ilapit sa 'kin. Napansin ko naman ang suot niya, he's just wearing a robe. Mukhang napansin naman niya na nakatingin ako roon.

"I'm sorry I used the robe, I just realized that I don't have spare clothes." he explained.

"No worries, love. I'll call Maisie, I'll ask her to buy some clothes." sabi ko naman sa kanya.

Hindi ko na siya hinayaang makasagot. Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko para tawagan si Maisie. It took her three rings before she picked it up. And she immediately asked what do I need.

"Uh, good morning, Maisie. Can you, uh... bring me some clothes for men? And also..." I glanced at Kirk who's just staring at me intently. My eyes went down there, I cleared my throat. "And some undergarments."
