Sweet Escape (COMPLETE)

06

I was shocked and couldn't move at all. He was staring into my eyes as I am staring to his. The electric blue orbs of his was pulling me into that abyss. I felt like lost in his eyes.

How can he so beautiful in my eyes? Do I look beautiful too in his blue orbs? Thinking he didn't think of me those years in the back of my mind. I stopped my self from sighing in front of him it might worry him.

"You should rest." I said toneless. I couldn't even recognize my voice. It was stern move. Claud was staring at me those same stare he would give me in those years. I don't understand it. It was saying too many things I can't even name one of them.

"Okay." Suko nito at dahan-dahang nang pumikit at hindi na nagsalita pa. Habang ako naman ay inabala ang sarili na mag luto upang may makain kaming dalawa. A simple chicken adobo. As the rice cooked perfectly, I glanced at the open room which I can see him even I'm in the kitchen. Baka may mangyari rito kaya hindi ko nang tinangkang isarado ang pinto.

"Hey... dinner is ready." I shake him to wake up but he wasn't budging. Making me nervous. I immediately checked his temperature. I was expecting a high level of fever it was cold. Too cold. It means his fever is still inside the body, he need to sweat.

"Damn cold, baby." I heard him whined. I bit kips as he caught my hand and pulled me to lay with him. This is really fast than the blink of my eyes. He really caught me really fast and good.

"I'll get some extra comforter Claud. Let go of me, I'll get-" I heard him groaned as protest. Darn, cute. I looked at his whinny face who seemed pouting.

"No, hug me. This will be enough." He said, his voice was quite hoarse maybe due of this cold. I need water and medicine atleast before I get comfortable on his arms. I need to take care of him atleast.

So much for adobo for dinner.

"I need to get medicine, Claud..." I whispered softly making him sighed and forcedly nodded. I got up and went. Habang naglalagay ng tubig sa baso ay natigilan naman ako ng makita itong bumangon sa higaan siyang pinagtataka ko. He supposed to be laying there and resting. He got shot for pete's sake!

"Why the hell are you up?" I irritatedly asked with my forehead creases. A smiled appeared on his lips instead of answering before it turned into pout. A man whose pouting.

Fuck! He's cute. Lord? Lord? Akin nalang 'to please. As in, pa-mine na ho itong lalaking 'to, hindi na po ito joke. Ang gwapo po, opo.

"It took you long, I missed you already." He whispered and wrapped his arms on my tiny waist making me grasped. Aba! Hindi ba nahihiya ang lalaking 'to sa akin? Kahit naman gusto ko ito ay hindi dapat ito nagyayakap nang yakap sa akin! Nako! Yes po go lang yakap me more!

"Just take this and drink." Sabi ko, bumuntong hininga ako dahil Matigas ang ulo nito. I didn't see him as a stubborn man. He doesn't look one. I don't expect him to this touchy and clingy. Akala ko ay maghahari-harian ito dito sa condo ko. Akala ko ay magiging pormal ito, he doesn't look formal to me now.

"You need to rest." I said. He just nodded while his head buried in my nape sniffing me shamelessly. Gosh. It was sending sensation throughout my body. I choose to ignore it. I can't afford it now to act up.

"It's damn cold, baby..." He whined making me sighed. I walked back to the room as he stick to me like a leech at the back. I just let him. Does being shot causes change of attitude? I don't goddamn now. I never treated someone who got shot so far in my 4 years in NYC.

"Sleep." Utos ko rito siyang umungol lamang ito ngunit hindi na nagreklamo pa habang ako naman ay nakayakap rito. Nakaunan ako sa braso nito, he hugged me closer to his body. Siguro ay nilalamig ang lalake. I sighed and tried to close my eyes to sleep.

In the middle of making my self sleep which I couldn't because I'm bothered that Claud is literally cuddling me. I'm not used of being cuddled. Nararamdaman kong nanginhinig ito halos nangangatal na ang ngipin nito. But he was asleep. Worries filled in me, the Aircon was off, it's summer. But he feel cold.

I know the only choice. I sit up in the bed and take his t-shirt off as I take mine off. Without hesitation I hugged him close to engage body heat as his body started to take mine it slowly worked. Ngayon naman ay ito nang nakaunan sa braso ko. Hindi naman ako makagalaw ng ibinaun nito ang mukha nito sa dibdib ko. It was ticklish but more sensual. My breathing hitched as I looked down to him who's sleeping now more peacefully than earlier.

Patawarin sana ako ni Inay at Itay, may nakatabi na akong lalaki kahit hindi pa ako kasal. Nay, Tay, crush ko po ito. Minsan lang po ito at hindi niya po sinasadyang gawing unan ang dibdib ko at hindi niya po alam ang ginagawa niya ng ibaon niya ang mukha niya sa suso ko po. Opo.

Claud's Point of View

I felt the numbness of my shoulder. As I glanced up I saw Jenna's sleeping beautiful face. Nakaunan pa rin ang lalaki sa braso ng dalaga. A slight panick filled Claud's system as he saw himself half naked, Jenna as well.

He gulped as he saw Jenna's chest as his hand gripped tighter to Jenna's waist. He felt like going to heaven. No wonder it was warm last night, Jenna provide him some.

He softly caress the woman's excess hair. As smiling quite softly looking at the woman he adore for years. He can't believe he will admit he liked this woman. He doesn't even know if it was a like at all. It was like an obsession. Wanting something to own and taking care of it in the same time.

She's so beautiful...

I wish I could stay like this with her in my arms. But I knew I can't. Not even my wildest dreams. A normal people would say I was out of reach between us but the truth is between us the out of reach one is Jenna.

I couldn't reach her. With the kind of power I have is the excessive but not enough to make her mine. She could make me hers, but I can't.

I know that so damn well.
