Sweet Escape (COMPLETE)

Dedicated to Jeremedi

Tahimik akong nakatingin kay Claud. Inaalalayan ako nito habang lumalakad. Nakabalik na kami sa condo, and Kuya Jerinn and Ate Klareen are resting in the other room. Hindi ko alam kung anong oras na ngayon ng gabi pero hindi ako makatulog.

Sabi nito na manonood nalang kami nang movie sakali daw antukin ako. I smiled bitterly. This man is too sweet for me. Oh my god, I can't lose him... But I have to.

“Am I really that handsome to be looked by you like that love hmm?” He playfully said making me giggled. He's so adorable. I nodded and shifted my position and stared at him to the side as he stopped watching the movie and curiously looked at me.

“You've been quiet lately love, a penny of your thoughts?” I shaked my head as answer and caress his face as he closed his eyes to nourish the sensations. He really like it when I touch him. Umusog ako at pinagmasdan na may matiim ang lalaki, hindi ko kayang mawalay rito. Alam kong hindi ko kaya pero naiisip kong kailangan ito doon. Ayokong maging makasarili.

He's a king, the people own him.

“You need to go back...” I started as his eyes flew open and frowned upon me. I smiled sadly as I softly caress his face with my both palms. Looking to his blue orbs with displeasure and confusion, made my heart beat in pain.

“What... what are you saying love..?” He asks with a pleading eyes. He knew this was coming but acted like he didn't. I can read his eyes. His eyes always tells me the truth. I really love his eyes, oh my god.

“You need to let me go Claud... Your country needs you.” I whispered affectionately making him shook his head as no. I pressed my lips to his forehead and smiled lovingly.

“Go back Claud... You had enough with this sweet escape.” I muttered.

“No.”

Agad naman akong kinabahan sa naging sagot nito. What do he mean no? Hindi pwede itong tumangi. He needs to end this. Alam kong hindi na pwede mag pakasal ito o magkaroon ng relasyon sa normal na tao lamang. His father always mentions that. Noong nasa Russia ako palagi kong naririnig na hindi na raw maari magkaroon ng relasyon ang bagong hari sa hindi kasapi sa monarkiya.

That's why, I'm making this less harder for him. He doesn't need to choose. I will always choose for us.

“No... Jenna please... Don't let me go like this. Love please, tell me to stay. Please tell me to stay.” He beg making me sob and let my pain bobbled up to my throat. I feel my eyes heating up and getting blurry. I lowered my head for him to see nothing of it.

“You need to Claud...” I weakly said between my sobs. He harshly shakes his head and dipped his huge palm to capture my face and made me look to his blue eyes. Darn those eyes, I'm weak with that.

“Please tell me to stay... One word Jenna. One word. I'll stay, a word Jenna please... Don't do this to me love... Make me stay...” His voice cracked as his tears overwhelmed his being making my heart pang. No, he can't cry.

Don't cry please. I don't want you to cry...

Nanghihina ako, ayokong ganito lamang kami. Gustong gusto kong manatili ito isang salita lang ang kailangan kong sabihin pero hindi ko magawa. I need to stop being selfish.

“Listen to me, you n-need to go back hmm? People needs you...”

“No, I need you! You're the only one I need! And I will ever need you! Jenna please baby...” He shouted in frustration as he fold his knees and rested his body between my legs. His shoulders were shaking. He was crying like me.
