"You know what's the worst part about dating an agnostic?" she asked with crossed arms.
"What is?"
"Ako lang lagi guilty of premarital sex."
His boisterous laugh echoed the room. "No regrets diba dapat? I told you that last night before you know," the man wiggled his brows to indicate what kept them busy last night.
"Stop telling me! You know what, I have to keep going na. Mom and Dad must be waiting for me. We're lucky they haven't called since last night."
"No! Please don't go." He responded a little too quickly. "We haven't had breakfast and it's still 6 am."
He shuffled the sheets and leaned up against the headboard, bringing his arms around her so she fell against his chest. It's still too early to leave the bed, she knew that but they have been cooped up inside his bedroom since last night and there are a bunch of tasks they must do outside of his room aside from relatively doing each other.
"Love."
"Mhmm?", he murmured after placing his hand on her bare back.
"Bangon na tayo." She moves to top him then, placing a sweet kiss against his lips. "We don't have all day."
"But we had a rough night. We're supposed to rest some more."
"Sige, you can rest pa naman but I do really have to go now," she responded, her mouth still pressed against his.
Resigned, he snaked his leg around her, pulling her closer, "no".
"Ian, sige na. They must be waiting for me sa bahay. Let's be sensible adults, yes?"
She pecked his mouth once more. "And before you say na man created God in the beginning, I do really want to go to church this morning. Kaya tara na please."
He smiled without opening his eyes. "You are just so good, my love."
She shuffled up the bed, taking the duvet with her and tucking it beneath her armpits. "Start working on your paper na, love. Due na sya this week and you said you haven't started on anything."
He nodded while retrieving his eyeglasses from the pile of papers by the bed, "hatid na kita, love. Shower lang ako real quick then sabay na tayo lumabas."
"No need na, Ian. I drove here last night, diba?"
He exhaled through his nose, "right. Call me when you get home please."
"I will. Love you! And don't play with yourself while I'm gone," she smirked before padding out of the room.
