Memories Begin in Summer

Chapter 9: Maki

I was peacefully sleeping when I felt a heavy thing embracing me. It was so comfortable and nice, it almost felt like a dream. I slowly opened my eyes, only to come to a startling realization.

First, I am not in my fucking room. And second, Sid is fucking spooning me!

I tried to calm myself, para hindi siya sumigaw. I knew he would shout and overreact, and I don't want that. Baka mamaya, marinig pa kami ng mga magulang niya.

I tried to steal a glance behind me. He's still peacefully sleeping with his mouth slightly open. I can't remember how we both ended up sleeping together. Pilit kong inaaalala, pero sumasakit lang ang ulo ko, kaya hindi ko na pinilit. I tried to take Sid's arm away from me, but he just squeezed me tighter.

"Sid..."

I tapped his arm a few more times before I heard him grunting. I thought, aalisin na niya ang braso n'ya pero nagulat ako nang mas lumapit siya sa'kin. I sighed heavily. Ang ganda siguro ng panaginip nito.

"Sid... y-you're hugging me."

"Hmm?"

I rolled my eyes before pinching his wrist. Agad niyang inalis ang braso niya at umaray. I immediately took my phone with me and got out of the bed.

"Aray ko, Maki! Para saan 'yon?!" inis niyang tanong sa'kin.

"You were hugging me, Sid." I told him while I check my messages. I saw Mama's message for me this morning. Babalik na daw sila ngayon galing hospital. They went to Manila for Lola's check-up. That explains why I am here, sleeping beside Sid.

I glanced at Sid, who's looking at me na parang hindi siya makapaniwala. "Ako?! Niyakap ka?! Totoo 'yon?!"

I raised my brow. "So, you were dreaming about me?"

Umiwas ng tingin si Sid. He looked like he's been caught doing something bad. So... he is really dreaming about me?

"Si Tita ba kausap mo? Anong oras daw sila uuwi?" pag-iiba niya ng usapan. I guess, he didn't want to answer that. Edi 'wag.

"After lunch daw." sagot ko. Tumango lang siya sa'kin bago tumayo mula sa kama.

My eyes widened when I saw his morning boner. I immediately looked away, feeling my face heating up. Fuck, how should I tell him about this? He can't go out like that! Sobrang halata!

"S-sid..."

"Hmm?" I can feel that he's being weirded out dahil tinawag ko siya habang naka-pikit ako.

"Y-your..." Damn, how will I address this?!

"Ano?" nagtatakang tanong niya.

I took a deep breath before speaking. My eyes are still closed. "Y-your... B-boner."
