Good Morning

Nagising ako ng maramdaman ang haplos sa buhok ko. Unti-unti ay iminulat ko ang mga mata ko at tumambad sa aking harapan si Appolo. Nakatuko ang siko sa kama habang nakapatong ang ulo sa kamao at nakatitig sa akin habang hinahaplos ang buhok ko.

"Good morning, beautiful." He whispered.

"Morning." Napapaos na sambit ko at tinitigan siya pabalik.

"How are you feeling?" He said softly.

I pouted. "I-I'm tired."

He chuckled.

I straightened up and leaned over to get a good look at him. I bit my lip while thinking about what happened last night

"What are you thinking?" He asked huskily.

"I'm thinking about you." Nahihiyang sabi ko.

He grinned and pinched my nose. "You naughty girl. Are you fantasizing about me?" He teased.

Umirap ako at tinampal ang kamay niya.

"Bakit ikaw? Hindi?” Tumaas ang kilay ko.
“Kung ganun, sinong pinagpapantasyahan mo?" Suddenly, anger and bitterness came over me.

He grinned and shook his head. "You have no idea how much I fantasize about you. Ikaw lang naman ang gusto ko."

I swallowed hard and look away. Ramdam ko ang ngisi sa labi ko at itinago ko iyon sa pag-irap. Sinubukan kong bumangon but then pinigilan niya ako.

Mabilis siyang bumangon. "Don't move."

"Bakit?" Gulat akong tumingin sa kanya.

Pilyo naman siyang ngumisi. "Stay here. I'll prepare our breakfast." Pagkatapos nun ay mabilis niya akong ginawaran ng halik sa labi.

Suddenly, I felt shy by the sudden kiss, so my palm quickly landed to cover my lips. He looked down at my hand. He grinned and came closer and kissed the back of my hand covering my lips. He grabbed my hand and removed it from my lips then kissed me again. My words created a muffled sound.

Ngumisi siya kaya itinulak ko na. I haven't even brushed my teeth! He laughed at what I did. I frowned at him.

When he left, I looked down at myself still covered by a white blanket. I groaned and covered my face with my palm.

"Malandi ka, Nasia!" Pagalit na sabi ko sa sarili.

I turned to the bed side table and saw my purse there. I reached for it and took out my phone after remembering my friends that I left on the pub.

I sighed. I felt a mixture of emotions last night but the pain was the only reason why I decided to not to go home. Nasaktan ako sa nakita, sa mga sinabi at ginawa ni Appolo, maging ang pagkalimot ni daddy sa aking birthday. This is also the first time I have done this. I wanted to be alone last night, away form everything, from everyone. And I’m so stupid to think that no one will find me here. But then, somehow, I’m happy… that he was the one who found me.

I looked at my phone and saw that it was still early in the morning. I was not surprised when I saw the unread messages and missed calls.

From: Kuya Franco
Magpaalam ka sa Daddy mo. Nagtatanong si Nanang kung saan ka matutulog ngayon.

Umikot ang mga mata ko duon. I feel like I have the obligation to tell them everything about me, kahit ang mga kaibigan kasama, kung saan pumupunta, maging ang mga kilos ko ay dapat ay alam nila. I sighed and typed a reply to him.

To: Kuya Franco
I'm in a hotel. I'll be home later.

Pagkatapos kong mai-send iyon ay binasa ko naman ang message ng mga kaibigan at pinsan ko.
