I Am You [COMPLETED]

Chapter 19

I was productive and energetic. I was all smiles upon waking up in the morning and cooking for our breakfast. At last, the day I have been waiting for... came. That day is today, Mother's Day.

I already saw the invitation card on Selene's room. I'm glad I saw it the other day, ilang araw pa naman akong naghanap n'on. She hid it on her favorite album.

"Good morning..."

Napalingon ako at nakita si Simon. I smiled at him and greeted him back.

"Good morning," bati ko pabalik bago tumingin muli sa niluluto ko. I was currently stirring the dish when a masculine arms snaked on my waist. I laughed at that. Talagang mahilig mangyakap ang lalaking 'to.

"Simon, I am cooking, please don't disturb me," palusot ko sa kanya. I don't want to stop him from hugging me from behind because it was so calm... and soothing. But I don't want to spoil myself from the things I didn't even own, not even a single finger. Kaya hangga't makakaya ko, I wanted to distant from him... pero mahahalata naman niya ako. Tsk! Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko! Maureen! Gumising ka na kasi!

"Am I disturbing? No... let me rephrase it. Did I disturb you?" He chuckled lowly. "I was just here, watching what you are doing, hon."

I groaned at his response. He chuckled again.

"Simon!" I hissed when he suddenly smelled my neck. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!" mahina kong panininghal sa kanya. Jusko po! Ano nalang ang iisipin ni Mau kapag nakita niya 'to?!

He smirked, still smelling my neck, giving it a small kisses. "Smelling you?" He groaned as he smelled my neck again. "Ah! You smelled so good, hon."

The fuck?!

Nang hindi makatiis ay kaagad kong malakas na tinapakan ang paa niya. Napadaing naman siya sa ginawa ko at naroon sa mga mata ang pagtatanong nang mapatingin sa akin.

"What was that for?" aniya, dumadaing at naroon parin ang ngiwi sa labi niya.

Imbes na matigilan sa ginawa ko ay inirapan ko siya sa inis. Punyeta! Pa'no kapag nalaman 'to ni Maureen?! Anong sasabihin ko?!

"'Wag mo kasi akong guluhin!" I hissed at him before stirring again the dish I am cooking.

Napanguso lang siya sa gilid. "Hindi naman kita ginugulo..." Nagiging mahina na ang boses niya nang sabihin 'yon.

Tsk! Nakokonsensiya ako! Pero ayaw kong isipin 'yon kasi mas iniisip ko ang mararamdaman ni Maureen kapag nalaman niya 'to!

Bumuntong-hininga lang ako. Tumingin ako sa kanya at ang gago, umiwas ba naman ng tingin pagkatingin ko sa kanya? Ano? Akala niya makokonsensiya ako?! Bahala siya riyan!

"Aalis ako mamaya," pagpapaalam ko. I always wanted to let someone know I'll leave before leaving the house. Nakasanayan ko lang kina mama at papa.

"For work?"

"Nope," saad ko, umiiling-iling.

"Sa'n ka pupunta?"

"Sa school ni Selene."

"For what?"

Napalingon ako sa kanya at nakita kong nakakunot na ang noo niya.

"Pinatawag ka ng guidance? Tsk! Hindi na talaga nagtitino 'yang anak nating 'yan," aniya, napailing-iling at nagpo-problema.

"Tsh!" I hissed at him. "Porke't pupunta ako roon ay pinatawag na ako ng guidance? 'Di pwedeng may gagawin lang ako roon kaya pupunta ako sa school nila?" pambabara ko sa kanya.

He just pursed his lips.

Inirapan ko siya. "Mother's Day kaya inimbitahan lang ang mga mama na pumunta roon."
