Chapter 18
Ring
"I mean...." I cleared my throat and averted my eyes away from him.
Fuck! I confessed! Wala sa plano yan at isa pa ay wala akong kabalak balak na ipaalam sa kanya ang nararamdaman ko! What the hell, Dike Cassiopeia! Nasaan na ang angas mo?
"Oh, don't you dare to deny it again. I've been looking forward for you to say those words. Damn, I'll fucking court you!" He pulled my waist and buried his face on my neck.
"Fine" nanghihinang bulong ko.
"I like you so damn much" he murmured. Kinagat ko ang aking labi nang maisip na hinihintay niyang sagutin ko iyon.
"Likewise" my pride keeps on kicking, e.
"So cold" he chuckled. Napangiti na lang din ako at inalis ang kanyang puyod. Sinuklayan ko siya gamit ang mga daliri ko at muling inayos ang puyod.
"I like you" bawi ko.
I can feel how his body became frozen because of that. It's so unlikely me. Kahit ako ay nagulat dahil nasabi ko iyon ng diretso, kaya understandable naman talaga ang reaction niya.
"Fuck, I want to kiss you" he slightly bit the skin on my neck which made me pulled his hair.
"No one's stopping you" Sabi ko, mabilis pa sa alas kwarto ang pag ahon ng kanyang ulo at sabik na inangkin ang aking labi.
He pulled my hair para tumingala ang ulo ko at maangkin niya ng maayos ang labi ko. He trapped my lower lip in between his teeth after he sucked it.
He was staring at me while doing it, kitang-kita ko ang mapuputi at pantay-pantay niyang ngipin. Pinatakan niya ulit iyon ng magaan na halik bago ako yakapin ng mahigpit.
"Let me court you" I hummed and hugged him back.
Tumakas kami sa kanila at pumunta sa ilog, nagpaalam kami kay Jillian at masaya naman siyang pumayag dahil kalaro niya ang ate Kulot niya.
"I really like you, Cassiopeia" we were cuddling here inside the cave. We're not doing anything sensual. Gusto lang namin na makapag usap ng maayos tungkol sa aming dalawa.
Thinking about it, wala pa kaming alam tungkol sa isa't-isa kung hindi ang mga pangalan namin kaya nasa getting to know each other na stage pa lang kami.
"I like you calling me Cas." Hinawakan ko ang panga niya nang umigting ito bigla. I caressed it until he calmed down.
"No... I don't like that. I like Cassiopeia more. Your name is unique. I like it, the way I like you" he held my hand and brought it on his lips. Binabad niya iyon sa kanyang labi kaya tumawa ako.
"Yes, it's unique. I didn't like it when I was a kid but my little brother told me some facts about it. He's obsessed with stars" I giggled remembering Sky's lecture to me.
"I don't like my name! I want to change it!" Christmas day when my parents and brother visits me here in Canada. I was just eight years old.
"Why? What's wrong with your name, anak?" Mommy was combing my hair. We're getting ready for our today's bonding.
"I don't like it, mommy! Cassiopeia? That's so ugly!" I cried.
"Ate, it's not!" I stopped crying when my little brother, Sky suddenly spoke. He was wearing his eyeglasses, his hair was clean cut and he was holding his favorite book.
The constellation
"It is!" I retorted.
Sky opened his book and gave it to me. He fixed his eyeglasses before crossing his arms on his chest.
