In His Kiss

Laure Ri Daza's Point of View

The following day, I watched Hiro shave in the mirror. Some may think that our setup is ridiculous. Trust me, there's still a part of me that felt like this was a dream. We looked like a newlywed couple. Natatawa na lang ako habang iniisip iyon. Sabay lang naman kaming naligo na dalawa. True to Hiro's words I spent the night in his place. I even watched him work the whole night. Napakaseryoso kasi ng mukha nito kaya masyado akong naka focus sa kanya. Even when he takes the call. He looks so charismatic while working. And he's asking me from time to time if I am okay or if I am bored.

There's nothing much to do in his place so he let me use his iPad and watch my favorite show there.

"You're so tall," biglang sabi ko at sumandal sa may salamin habang nakaupo ako sa kanyang marble wash basin. I watched him do his morning routine. What I really appreciate about Hiro is that after we made out last night, he gave me a clean set of clothes to use. Hindi ko alam kung masyado lang itong handa o talaga ineexpect na niya na pupunta ako dito. He's perfectly got my size and it's nice that he's so attentive.

I saw his mouth twitch when I complimented his height.

"You're just small, kotik." He said laughing while rinsing the razor he used.

"Ugh!" I groaned. "Kotik again. Bakit mo ba ako tinatawag niyan?" I crossed my arm as if I am sulking like a kid. If I remember right, kotik means kitten in Russian. Pero matapos niyang gamitin ang razor ay binalik niya ito sa lagayan bago siya naghugas ng kamay. After that, he grab the clean towel that hangs on the rack and dry his hands.

"Because it suits you." Sabi niyo at pumwesto sa aking harapan. At dahil nakaupo ako sa marble wash basin ay kapantay ko lang ang kanyang bewang. He cupped my cheeks and give a light squeeze.

"Shut up." I said and it only made him more amused. He moves closer to me and scoop me out from sitting. Ngayon ay madali lang niyang kinarga. Agad ko naman nailagay ang kamay ko sa kanyang leeg at aking legs sa kanyang bewang para hindi ako mahulog mula sa kanyang hawak. Hiro is so warm and smells nice.

"Hiro! Why are you so clingy in the morning?" Hiro walked straight to his walk-in closet.

"You looked adorable using my robe, Laure. As you wait for me to finish shaving." It was my turn to look down on his face and cupped his cheeks. Acting on my instinct, I leaned down and kissed him and he gladly accepted my lips. Kinagat ko nang marahan ang ibabang labi niya at narinig ko ang mahinang pagungol nito. He then nuzzles my throat with his face and I laugh because it's ticklish.

I love this. I love how he always pulls me to him. I love how he keeps asking me if I'm comfortable. I love how he keeps checking up on me. I love how he put the grasshopper plushie I gave him on the side of his bed. Sa tingin ko ay napaswerte ng babaeng mamahalin ni Hiro. He's just so... romantic. Even though he told me that he's not into a serious relationship. My stomach churned when I thought about Hiro being nice to another woman. I'm diving into danger now, huh? This isn't so me.

"What do you want for breakfast?" Tanong nito at ibinaba ako sa sofa na katabi ng isang table na puno ng kanyang neck tie. I watch Hiro looked for a shirt and put it on.

"May balak ka bang patabain ako, Hiro? The moment I set foot in your place, you keep asking me if I want to eat something." I snorted but Hiro only grins at my place.

"I'll start preparing our breakfast, kitten. You can take your time here in my closet."

Hiro gave me a quick kiss on my forehead and left his room. Naiwan tuloy akong magisa sa kanyang walk-in closet. That's my cue to stand up from where I was sitting and start to change the robe to normal clothes. I checked myself in the mirror and when I was satisfied with the way I looked, I followed Hiro in the kitchen.
