So Into You

Chapter 24 - Guilt

It was around seven thirty in the morning when Migz dropped me off at William Shaw St. It was about two blocks away from my dorm. Mula rito ay lalakarin ko na lang papuntang school. We both decided to keep whatever is going on between us a secret. Well, as for now... Sobrang kumplikado pa kasi ang lahat.

Inayos ko ang pagkakasara ng dala kong handbag bago ako bumaba ng Montero.

Sinilip ko si Migz mula sa bintana ng passenger seat upang makapagpaalam. "Migz, I'll go ahead. I'll just text you, okay?"

Tinanaw niya ako gamit ang mapupungay niyang mga mata. Sobrang aga niya kasi gumising kanina upang ipagluto ako ng breakfast. He bestowed a smirk.

"You take care! I'll call you later, Babe!" Napakurap-kurap ako. I guess I'm still not used to it whenever Migz started to call me Babe. I nodded afterward.

Nang pahakbang na ang mga paa ko, walang ano-ano ay biglang bumaba si Migz ng kanyang sasakyan. He closed our distance and enveloped me in a warm hug.

"Thank you again, Babe! You don't know how much you make me happy!" I got so conscious at that moment. Napalingon tuloy ako sa paligid. Baka mamaya kasi ay may makakita sa aming dalawa. Hindi pa kasi pwedeng malaman ni Mary ang tungkol sa namamagitan sa amin ni Migz.

Ako ang naunang kumalas sa mga yakap ni Migz. "Migz, baka may makakita sa 'tin!" kabado kong saad sa kanya. He looked at me keenly.

"Sorry, I almost forgot," mahina niyang wika.

"I just can't contain my feelings towards you." Bahagyang idinampi ni Migz ang kanyang hinlalaki sa aking kaliwang pisngi.

"I'll just call you!" Huling sinabi niya bago pumasok sa loob ng kanyang sasakyan.

I felt like I was floating in cloud nine as I went inside our classroom. Hanggang sa kalagitnaan ng klase ay okupado pa rin ang isip ko sa mga nangyari kagabi.

Sa kabila ng nag-uumapaw naming emosyon sa isa't isa, Migz respected me the whole night. It's not that I am anticipating that he will ask for it last night, especially now that our relationship is official.

When Migz learned that he will be my first, he said he wanted to take it slow.

"I want all of our firsts to be extra special. Our first movie date, our first date in a fancy restaurant, our first out-of-town trip, our first out-of-the-country tour. I want our relationship to be an unforgettable experience for you, Babe! I wanted you to remember it forever!"

Though we kisses each other very often the whole night. Nauna na naman niya kasi akong nakawan ng first kiss sa resort, kahit hindi pa naman kami! I have to admit that Migz soft lips was so addicting!

Hindi ko mapigilan na mapangiti sa loob ng classroom nang maalala ko ang pagluluto ni Migz para sa akin ng breakfast kanina. I didn't know he can cook! Though, sunny side up egg, bacon and hotdog lang naman 'yon. Sobrang na-touch ako sa ginawa niya.

Mabuti na lang at naisipan kong magdala ng uniform for our Batangas trip. Kaya deretso na akong nakapasok sa school kanina.

Absent si Mary sa lahat ng pang-umagang klase namin. Hindi na ako nagtanong kina Irish tungkol dito. Sa tingin ko kasi ay masama pa rin talaga ang loob ni Mary dahil sa nangyari sa Batangas.

Me and my friends were heading to the cafeteria when I received a call from Migz.

"Hi, Babe! How's school?" Nagpaiwan ako sa mga kaibigan ko. Doon ako pu-m-westo sa gilid ng corridor at hininaan ang paraan ng aking pagsasalita.

"Okay lang, medyo madami lang kaming naka-line up na for readings this week." I heard him yawn from the other line.

"Ang aga mo kasi gumising kanina. Inaantok ka tuloy," I told him. I chuckled afterward.
