The Very First Night [RHIMICH]

Chapter 20: Unlocked

Denise's POV

I miss M. Part of the family tradition every Christmas is spending time with the Howell Clan here in NYC and it's taking a toll on me right now. I never thought I'm a clingy person and it turns out I am one. Dumagdag pang buong araw akong naging abala sa charity event ng family sa isang hospital kaya di ko namalayan na hindi ko dala yung phone ko!

11 missed calls. 56 messages. From my girlfriend alone. We can't do LDR.

A knock startled me. "C'mon in!" I shouted as I pressed send on my phone, telling my girlfriend I'm calling her after I shower.

"You sure don't have a habit of locking your door, honey."

I wasn't able to utter a word at first. Now, this is a surprise. "Wifey?!"

"Merry Christmas! Go on, shower." She smiled as she raised her phone. Nabasa pa pala nya yung message ko.

I swiftly ran and throw myself to her. "OMG you're here!"

"Hindi mo kasi ako pinapansin buong araw."

"Naiwan ko yung phone ko. I'm sorry."

"I figured. Don't I get a kiss?"

I tiptoed and gave her a peck on the lips. "Merry Christmas, my love! Inasmuch as I want to smother you with kisses, I'm afraid I need to shower first kasi galing kami ng hospital and pawis na pawis pa ako."

She grabbed me by the waist, "I love you, your pawis and all," she said before giving me one lingering kiss. I felt her hand on my back and the other hand inside my shirt, caressing my stomach. Why is she so hot? Ugh.

"Sabi ko na dapat kumakatok ako eh," a voice from the door made us jolt away from that hot lip locking.

"Nadz," we both said, panting.

"You two just... go downstairs later. Dinner is in an hour, okay? Sorry for the interruption. Bye. Continue your babe time." My sister quickly left.

When the door finally closed, we laughed at each other. "I'm sorry," she apologized. "Seems like I need to restrain myself from touching you more than a minute while we're here. Shower ka na, love. I'll be right here waiting," she kissed my head. I breathed. Muntik na yun. 

"Don't go anywhere. By the way, nagkita na kayo ni Daddy?"

"Yes. Nagkausap narin. Okay na kami, don't worry."

"Okay?"

"Sports lang naman si Daddy mo pero he said he still doesn't want me for you although he won't intervene with our relationship."

"Honey..."

"It's okay, wifey. You know me. Hindi ako titigil hanggat hindi ko tuluyang mapapalambot ang puso ng dad mo. I will fight for us. Promise ko yan sayo. Tsaka, ang mahalaga pinayagan nya akong puntahan ka sa room mo. Good sign na yun."

Bakit ba ang tangkad mo, jowa? 

"Rhian Denise, malapit na dinner time baka gusto mo na magshower? Or ako pa magpapaligo sayo?"

"Pwede naman," I replied as I take off my shirt, leaving my brassiere on. If you can just see how flustered her face is right now haha!

She deeply breathed and shakes her head. "Tease. Just.." she bit her lower lip, "go," she managed to say. "If you allow me to go with you inside, magdamag tayo dyan sa loob. Ayaw mo naman siguro sumugod ang pamilya mo dito, hmm?"

Tinanggihan? Haha. "Missy Michelle Dee, best in self-control." I laughed and left her. 

I saw her walked towards the mini fridge. Feel at home, my love.
