One Night

Chapter 6

Days passed like a blur. We're here in the Philippines to celebrate Christmas with the family. They all decided to celebrate Christmas together here in Baguio. Lahat sama sama kaya medjo chaotic. Maingay ang paligid. Hinihintay nalang namin mag 12 para makakain na at mag exchnage gift.

The soon to be dads, Kuya Luis and kuya Mike are so hands-on upon taking care of their ladies, para na silang linta kung makadikit kanila ate Xandra at ate Cara. 

Yung iba naman nasa gilid, Simon is playing the guitar, Vinny is singing, I didn't know Vinny got good voice. Kuya Borgy is playing the Cajon. Okay na sana yung set nila habang nagkakantahan kung hindi lang naninira ng tono si kuya Matt. 

"I don't wanna sing anymore!" Vinny exclaimed. "Me too!" Simon agreed. "Same here." Kuya Borgy said. Lahat sila masasama ang tingin kay kuya Matt. Natatawa naman ako sa itsura nila lalo na ni kuya Matt kasi di niya magets na bwisit na sakanya yung tatlo kasi sinira niya yung kantahan nila, nagtanong pa talaga siya anong problema eh ang ganda na daw ng jamming nila.

"Hi beautiful.." I heard someone said behind me then I felt him hugged me from behind. I smiled because of the warm feeling. He got this warmth that gives me comfort eversince we became close. At kung tatanungin niyo ako kung ano na ba ang status namin.. well, hindi ko rin alam kung ano na ba talaga kami.. parang kami pero hindi..

"Hey." I replied placing my hand on top of his hands na nakayakap saakin. "Do you want to go sa rooftop?" Yaya niya saakin. I looked at him before nodding. He released me before holding my hand interwinding it with his. 

When we reached the rooftop, we immediately sat down sa hammock na nandoon. Malaki naman yung hamok good for two people kaya okay lang na umupo kami dito dalawa. Napansin ko ring hindi pa rin natanggal yung paghoholding hands namin. Tahimik lang kami parehas. Contented sa presence ng isa't isa kahit di nagsasalita. I was playing with our hands, tracing random shapes in it sometimes nagsusulat din ako using my pointy finger. 

I looked at our hands na magka interwined tapos narealize ko na fit na fit yung kamay namin. Then out of nowhere I sang.. 

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me

But bear this mind, it was meant to be

And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks

And it all makes sense to me... 

He looked at me smiling his other hand caressing my cheeks. "Continue.." He whispered. And so I did.

I know you've never loved

The crinkles by your eyes when you smile

You've never loved your stomach or your thighs

The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine

But I'll love them endlessly..

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth

But if I do, it's you

Oh, it's you, they add up to

I'm in love with you

And all these little things..

"You're in love with me?" He asked smirking. "Kapal mo naman" I replied laughing. We ended up talking about all the things that happened the past few months. Nag-asaran pa kami na sinadya ko daw na gawin lahat ng mga nangyari kasi patay na patay daw ako sakanya at pumalag naman ako sa mga paratang niya na pabiro din.
