But Not Me (GxG)

It may sound cringe, pero pakiramdam ko ay magaling na ako lalo na't kaharap ko na ang 'happy pill' ko. After everything that happened, hiniling ko sa kanya na matulog sa tabi ko. Akala ko nga ni-reject niya ako dahil bigla na lang niya akong iniwan. I was even a bit hurt pero okay lang, bawi na lang next time.

Akala ko talaga ay matutulog akong masama ang loob pero ilang sandali lang bigla na lang pumasok si Miss na nakapangtulog na at walang salitang tumabi sa tabi ko at niyakap ako.

I shifted my gaze towards my peacefully sleeping professor, Nakaharap siya sa akin while her left hand gently resting on my stomach. Kaya heto ako, parang tanga na hindi gumagalaw sa pwesto.

Sa sobrang pagkahumaling sa kanya, hindi ko napansin na nakaharap na ako. Unable to contain my joy, a smile crept across my face.

I am happy, my heart is happy.

I let out a sigh, not because of any trouble, but out of contentment.

Here I am again, completely smitten. Iba pa naman ako kapag may gusto. I lose sight of my own character. Para akong isang batang laging napagbibigyan sa mga gusto.

Laging masaya tapos ang babaw pa. Like everything that is given or done to me sobrang saya ko na.

I never believed in the concept of a sleeping beauty, until now, as I gaze upon the divine beauty in front of me. Napakaganda tulog man o gising. Should I dare try to kiss her? Magigising ba siya, just like in the movies?

Dahan-dahan kong hinaba ang aking leeg at ngumuso para halikan siya ng mabilis sa labi. Nang hindi siya nagising sa halik, lumapit pa ako sa kanya...

Closing my eyes, I gently pressed my lips against hers. Naramdaman ko ang kanyang malambot at nakakaakit niyang labi. Nakakaadik.

With a smile, I pulled away, only to find her now looking at me with her eyes open. I smiled back, raising my hand to cover her eyes, as if to shield myself from any scolding.

"I suppose the story of sleeping beauty is true. You're awake. Does that mean my kiss is your true love's kiss?" I playfully teased at saka mabilis ulit siyang ninakawan ng halik habang nakatakip pa rin ang mga mata niya.

"No, it means I'm going to get sick soon, you idiot," she replied, placing her hand beneath my head and pulling me closer to her kaya napilitan na akong alisin ang kamay ko sa mukha niya at nilipat sa bewang niya.

Her right hand rested on the back of my head na ginawa kong unan, while her left hand was positioned on my back na dahan-dahan hinahaplos ang likod ko. Akala ko hanggang doon na lang, but then she brought her left leg and rested on mine and then pressed my face against her chest.

Naririnig ko ang tibok ng puso niya. Steady and calm.

"Magaling na kaya ako. I already took my kisspirin. Aww." Reklamo ko nang bahagya niya akong binatukan.

"Stop talking. It tickles," she said.

Right. She was wearing a Satin Silk Nightgown. Ngayon ko lang naalala na nakasubsob nga pala ako. My face was pressed against her chest, skin to skin. I closed my eyes, inhaling her addictive scent.
