Shelter in a Storm (Elyu Series #2)

Chapter 37

Nababaliw na talaga ako.

As soon as I woke up, my brain fogged about everything that happened last night. We were kissing until the sun went down. We were supposed to go home after that! But I woke up right now with him sleeping next to me...

"Shit," I cursed, pulling the sheets to cover myself. I wasn't drunk last night but I might as well be! Binalingan ko ang lalaki. Nakayakap ang mabigat na braso nito sa akin kaya hindi ako makagalaw.

His eyes fluttered open. Kaagad akong nag-iwas ng tingin dahil sa hiya. I heard him chuckle, pulling me closer to him.

"Last night wasn't a dream, then..." he murmured into my skin.

My cheeks heated. Ni ayaw ko ngang alalahanin ang nangyari kagabi tapos iyon pa ang una niyang sasabihin pagkagising niya?!

"I'm late for my class..." I complained.

"Hmm?" He started giving butterfly kisses to my neck until his lips reached my collar bone. Ang isang kamay ay naglakbay patungo sa baywang ko. When he pulled me closer to him again, I could feel him getting hard in my legs.

I glared at him. "Seriously, we've done it... twice last night." Hindi ko inalis ang tingin sa kaniya kahit na pulang-pula ang mukha ko. "Give it a rest!"

He chuckled and kissed me again. "Fine, fine."

Enrique looked around the room. Our clothes were strewn all over the place. Ripped packets of condoms were atop the chest drawer and the door was not even shut!

I took a deep breath and pulled the sheets to cover my body. I was so embarrassed but Enrique just casually stood over my bed, in his full glory, without an ounce of embarrassment.

Well, there is nothing to be embarrassed about his body. He is ripped, with all the muscles in the right places. Enrique had minor skin discoloration from staying under the heat of the sun for too long but that was it... the rest of him is perfect.

I swallowed and turned away when he picked up his boxer shorts and slipped into it. Nang tumayo ako mula sa kama, inagaw ang pansin ko sa nakita. A small patch of blood stained the new bed. Pareho kaming napatingin ni Enrique doon.

"I'll wash it," he volunteered immediately when he saw my discomfort.

Tahimik lang akong tumango at isa-isang pinulot ang mga damit.

"Uhm, may towel ba dito?"

He rubbed the back of his neck and tried opening the chest drawer. Buti naman at may nakita. Inabot niya 'to sa akin.

I grabbed the towel and went inside the bathroom. When I was alone, I suddenly felt how sore I was.

Napamura ulit ako habang sinasabon ang sarili. He was so patient with me last night, guiding me where to touch, when to move, and encouraging me to speak my mind. It was my first time and he made sure I was comfortable as we made love.

Pero habang nasa loob ako, napaisip ako sa nangyari. What now? Are we back together? We must be, right? We confessed to each other and something had already happened between us.

Dahil wala naman akong magawa ay isinuot ko pabalik ang damit ko kahapon. I walked slowly back into the room. Enrique had already stripped off the covers of the bed and the pillow cases, too. Wala na rin ang lahat ng kalat na para bang walang nangyari rito kagabi. Narinig ko ang lagaslas ng tubig kaya malamang ay naliligo na rin iyon.

Doon na ako sa labas tumambay. One of the neighbors frowned when he saw me. Mukhang ngayon pa lang ata nakitang may tao ang bahay. Tipid lang akong ngumiti at kaagad na bumalik sa loob.
