CHAPTER 31

With the sun piercing through his eyes, Richard finally decided to wake up. For the first time since he woke up from his coma, he wanted to sleep again at that particular moment. He never felt so comfortable. He even felt much better today. With that, he attempted to sit up but he was stopped when he felt another body beside him. It was only then when he realized a head is lying on his chest with an arm draped across his waist.

Even though Richard could only see the woman’s head, he already knew who it is. He already knew that it is Maya. Ah yes, I told her to sleep here last night. He smiled as he rewinds last night’s events.  He lifted his hand to smooth her hair and immediately stopped when Maya stirred from her sleep. Maya seemed to stretch for a bit then broke their position, and faced the other way. Richard chuckled softly witnessing what she just did. She’s still asleep after that!

Much to his amusement, he also turned, facing Maya’s back. As if still not satisfied on their closeness, he scooted some more towards her. He kissed the back of her head and draped his arm around Maya’s waist, pulling her even closer. When he’s finally satisfied, he closed his eyes to sleep again with a smile on his face.

The first thing that came to Maya’s head when she woke up is ‘Where am I?’ The surroundings immediately told her that she’s not in her own bedroom. Maya rubbed her eyes, thinking that she’s dreaming and after doing so, her arm fell on her waist. Her eyes widen when she felt another arm under her own. It was then when she felt someone breathing on her nape. Maya gulped and took a deep breath before attempting to turn around to see who it is. But before turning, she looked under the blanket covering her. She sighed in relief when she saw that she still have her clothes on. And when Maya finally turned, all of her worries were gone. She smiled at the sight of Richard, sleeping peacefully beside her. Maya admired the man’s face. He still looks like an angel to me, especially when he’s asleep.

As Maya stare at his face, something caught her eye. There’s this light coming from outside the window. May ilaw ba sa labas? Nung umidlip naman ako kanina, wala namang ilaw. Dumating na kaya sina Tito – Maya suddenly stopped thinking when she got a clear view of some clouds outside. U-umaga na?! Maya immediately looked at her wristwatch.

8:15

Mayaaaa!! Late ka na!!

She panicked but she cannot really make big moves because of Richard’s arm around her. Gently, Maya held his arm and slowly lifted it, but it just made him stir and hug her even more.

Naman Richard! Late na ko eh!

She attempted to do it again; unaware of two chinky eyes watching her action.

“You could just ask me to remove my arm, you know?” he said, making Maya to jerk. Richard laughed at her while Maya could only bury her face on her hands.

“O siya, makikitanggal na nung braso mo please. Late na ko.” She said, as she felt Richard’s arm still on her waist.

“Ayoko.” He said and tightened his arm around her. “Umabsent ka na lang.”

“Excuse me, Mr. Lim. Hindi po ako anak ng may-ari ng LAS para umabsent na lang basta. Sayang yung sweldo ko no.” She said as she tried to remove his arm, but she failed each time. “Dali na.”

“No.” He said, his eyes looking at her. “You haven’t even greeted me ‘good morning’.” He pouted.

“Fine.” She said and put on this cheerful smile on her face. “Good morning!” then her face returned to its earlier state. “O ayan na, pwede mo na kong pakawalan!”
