I woke up, feeling something poking on my stomach. I saw him, his face an inch away from mine. Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko upon remembering what happened last night.
I don't know what to say! I don't know what to do! I don't know how to react!
"Gahhhd..."-bulong ko sa sarili ko sabay dahan-dahang nilalayo ko ang sarili ko sa kanya. Ang-init ng katawan nya. Yung tipong masarap makipagcuddle every cold/rainy days.
Yung feeling na uncomfortable ka sa sarili mo 'cause you don't know why you're comfortable being cuddled by someone?
Ewan! Nakakalito!
I gasped when he suddenly pulled me back towards him.
"Let's sleep more."-bulong nya, kinabahan ako lalo when I felt his thing down there again, poking me.
Tahimik lang ako habang nakayakap sa sarili ko.
We're naked, for heaven's sake!
Nagitla ako nung bigla nyang siniksik sa leeg ko ang mukha nya. I'm wide awake now, feeling even more uncomfortable in every moment that passes.
Nagitla ako ulit when he started caressing my stomach.
"Relax baby. Go back to sleep, its still too early."-he whispered huskily.
"Gion, a-ano--- kasi---"-he cut me off by kissing my lips, then he wrapped my body with a blanket. Separating me from him.
"I want you to be more comfortable around me."-bulong nya sabay halik sa noo ko.
Niyakap nya ako ulit at pumikit.
Napabuntong-hininga naman ako at napayakap ulit sa sarili ko.
"Buti wala ka pang nabubuntis. Impossible naman na wala kapang naisex sa dami ng flings mo."-pagsisimula ko ng topic. Alam ko kasing gising sya kase ramdam kong hinahaplos nya ang hip ko.
"Mmmhh. Luckily, wala pa. I'm careful with my bedmates from getting pregnant, you know..."-he answered.
Bedmates.
Bedmate...
God! How could I be so stupid?!
Gion's POV
Bigla syang umupo kaya napaupo narin ako.
"What's wrong?"-tanong ko.
"Magsashower lang ako."-sabe nya sabay baba ng kama habang nakapulupot parin ang kumot sa katawan nya. Saglit syang napahinto nung marating nya ang door knob ng banyo, then after a moment she went in and heard her locked the door.
She look blue all of the sudden.
Humiga nalang ako ulit.
I heard the shower turned on.
I waited for her to come out pero sobrang tagal nya talaga and I still need to cook for us before going to school.
Nagshower nalang ako sa kabilang bathroom and started preparing breakfast right after.
Its already 6:30 am nung natapos akong magluto ng bacon and egg. Minicrowave ko naman ang sliced bread at sakto namang lumabas sya na bihis na bihis na.
"Come here, let's have breakfast first."-sabe ko sabay upo sa dining table.
"I'll pass. I need to go now."-sabe nya then nagmadali syang umalis with a huge bag on her hand.
Kinabahan naman ako, hindi naman siguro yun maglalayas kase hindi nya naman dala-dala ang tatlong luggage nya.
Hahanapin ko nalang sya sa school para tanungin if what's wrong.
---Two Days Later---
I looked at her laughing on whatever Garry was saying. I'm in the canteen now together with my teammates and she's with her girl friends and Garry. Nag-iinit ang ulo ko. She's been avoiding for days now and its f*cking annoying me!
Nakipagpalit din sya ng partner for the upcoming ball kase daw nahihirapan daw sya saken kase matangkad daw ako and she's now paired up with Elmer and me with Sofie which used to be Elmer's partner. She even decided to live at Elsa's place and asked Hans to get her things from my apartment!!
Nakakabanas lang kase I don't know how to approach her and sa twing nagkakaroon na ako ng lakas ng loob na lapitan sya, bigla namang may lumalapit sa kanya and she's not even paying me any attention.
"Inaantok ka? Anong oras ka na na natulog kagabi?"-rinig kong tanong ni Garry sa kanya. Malapit lang ang table namin sa table nila and kokonte lang din ang tao sa canteen kaya medyo tahimik.
"Eleven, the usual."-rinig kong sabe nya. Nagpatuloy nalang ako sa pagkain, ignoring how my teammates looked at me.
"May LQ ata."-I heard Marion whispered to Alexis, mga chismoso kong teammate. Naturingan pa namang lalaki.
"Eh? Diba hindi naman talaga sila nagpapansinan dito sa school? I mean, si Francinne lang pala ang hindi nanamansin."-Alexis asked.
"No, pare. This one's different. Gion's not even trying to piss Francinne for days now and we saw her in his apartment wearing his shirt, what do you want me to expect?!"-said Marion.
"Why don't you talk to her?"-natahimik ang table namin when Hans spoke. We all know that he like France, or maybe more than like. Napatingin naman ako sa kanya.
"I'm going to, naghahanap pa ako ng perfect timing."-seryoso kong sabe. He's my childhood friend. My partner in crime. He's the good guy and I'm the bad one. We ended up in the same school from elementary, highschool to college, we play the same sport and we're into the same girl.
"Perfect timing? Huh! Good luck with that! I just want to tell you that I'm going to confess to her within this day kung hindi mo sya magawang kausapin. I know there's something wrong between the two of you. I care for you both and I know that you won't move kung walang chachallenge sayo. Today, I won't be treating you as my friend, I'll play fair, but don't expect me to back out that easy."-inayos nya ang glasses nya then he walk out of the canteen.
Napaayos naman ako ng upo at tumikhim. Now he's challenging me. Nakita kong lumabas na ng canteen sina France and her friends. Sumunod naman ang mga kateammate ko na ako parin ang topic.
Nagbeep naman ang phone ko na nakalagay sa table.
Binasa ko naman ang message ni Lolo.
*Your brother is home. Come over for a dinner tonight.*
Bigla akong kinabahan.
