Taking All The Risk

Chapter 35

Maxine's POV

Suddenly woke up when I felt someone stroking my hair gently. As I open my eyes, a beautiful creature appeared in front of me.

Florencio?

Right! She stayed last night.

"Good morning, nagising ba kita?", she softly asked.

"No. I'm fine. You just woke up?", I replied.

"Hmm. Sa totoo lang kanina pa. At masaya ako na nagising ako bago ikaw dahil nabigyan ako ng pagkakataon na pagmasdan ka", she sweetly said. She's stroking my hair pa rin.

My heart is beating so fast! This woman never cease to amaze me by her choice of words. She's so sweet and very romantic. How did I get so lucky?

They said, action is louder than words but I guess they are wrong. Florencio made me realize that action and words should be balance.

Both actions and words are needed. There's no misinterpretation or misunderstanding. Her action makes me feel loved while her word makes me feel secured.

I caressed her cheeks and stared at her gorgeous eyes. Damn, she has an angelic face.

"Why are you like that, Florencio? You should be mad at me. I caused you a lot of pain", I asked sadly.

"Max, mahal kita. At kapag nagmamahal hindi nagtatanim ng galit. Dahil ang tunay na nagmamahal, nagpapatawad. Maaaring nasaktan mo ako pero ikaw pa rin ang laman nito", she sincerely said while pointing her heart.

"But Florencio ..."

"No buts, Max. Alam kong hindi lang ako ang nasasaktan kundi pati ikaw. Hindi ko kayang magalit sa taong mahal ko", she's saying those words with full of love.

This woman! I couldn't contain myself anymore. I suddenly grabbed her cheeks and kissed her passionately. A kiss that will express the words that I can't tell.

"You're crazy", I whispered when I broke the kiss.

"Crazy in love with you", she replied smiling.

"Stupid", I uttered.

"When you are inlove, you became stupid", rebat naman nito.

"I don't know what to say", nanghihina kong pahayag.

"Ako marami akong sasabihin. At isa na roon ay mahal kita, Max", she sweetly said then kiss me again.

"Nakakadalawa ka na!", kunwari'y inis na saad ko.

"Tatluhin natin", natatawang saad nito at muling dinampian ako ng halik.

"Florencio, enough. Stop na", saad ko.

"Sorry. Kasalanan mo to e", nakanguso nitong saad.

"What? And why is that?", I asked her. My eyebrows furrowed by her statement.

"Because you have the most kissable lips", biglang sagot nito na ikinapula ng face ko.

I know that right now, my face is like a petal of rose. Gosh! How can she say those words na parang wala lang?

To hide my embarassment, I threw a pillow at her. But in my dismayed, she laughed hard lang.

"Wait. I have a question", biglang saad ko when I remembered something. Rather. Someone.

"Sige. Isang kiss kada tanong", she devilishly said dahilan para batuhin ko siya muli ng pillow.

"Joke lang. Ano po yun?", natatawang saad nito.

"About S-Sol?", I nervously asked.

"Sol? Anong meron sa kaniya?", tugon niya while pinaglalaruan ang fingers ko.
