Hidden Mistake

CHAPTER 28

"Uuwi ka na?"

Napabaling ako kay Hunt na ngayon ay nasa sala. I wiped my wet hands with a clean towel before going to where he is.

Katatapos ko lang maghugas ng plato. Muntik pa kaming mag-away dahil gusto niya siya ang maghugas kasi ako naman daw ang nagluto. I insisted to wash the dishes, since I know he's tired today.

Alam kong hindi lang ang meeting ang inasikaso niya kanina. Maraming kaso rin. Samantalang ako ay sa table ko lang at nag-arrange ng files.

I want him to rest too. He looks worn out today.

Naupo ako sa tabi niya sa mahabang sofa. He's watching Mission Impossible.

We really do have something in common, especially sa taste sa movies. I prefer watching actions than dramas. Well, except when I read novels. Any genre would satisfy me as long as the female lead isn't a weakling.

"Mamaya na." I checked my watch. It's still eight in the evening.

I want to spend time with him a bit more.

He moved closer to me, not content with our distance. His right arm rested just at the back of the sofa where I'm sitting. Parang inaakbayan ako. His other hand took my left hand and intertwined our fingers.

"Can't you stay for tonight?" aniya sa mababang boses.

He buried his face on the hollow of my neck.

Napabuntong hininga ako at hinaplos ang kaniya buhok. Binalewala ko ang mabilis na pagtibok ng aking puso at hinayaan ang sariling suklayin ang buhok niya gamit ang aking kabilang kamay.

"That feels nice. I don't think I can still drive you way home."

I bit my lower lip. His breathing is hot and ticklish against my skin. His voice sound so tired.

"Please stay." antok na bulong niya.

Mukhang maling ideya ata itong ginawa ko. But thinking he's tired made me want to stay and take care of him. I'm not that stone hearted to let him drive me at this hour.

"You don't have to drive me home. I can go home alone."

Mabilis na umangat ang kaniyang tingin sa akin. Napatigil din ako sa ginagawa sa kaniyang buhok.

"No way. I won't let you go home alone."

His tone is serious and with finality. 

Should I go home? I want him to rest, pero kung ihahatid niya pa ako hindi siya makapagpahinga.

I sighed heavily. My decision is final.

"Fine. I'll stay here for tonight."

He smiled and buried his face again on my neck.

"Thank you." he said and give feathery kisses on my neck.

Hinayaan ko siya at nanood na lamang ng pelikula. I felt his fingers moved and played with mine. His other hand went down on my waist, cuddling me. 

Tahimik kaming nanood. It was a peaceful night. I don't even feel any tiredness at all, dahil nandiyan siya. His presence made me feel at ease and peaceful. 

Sana ganito kami lagi.

I silently went out of the bathroom. Katatapos ko lang mag-half bath.

Namataan ko agad si Hunt na ngayon ay tulog na. I sighed. Kanina lang ay kinukulit niya pa akong sabay kaming mag-half bath. I refused because it's my period at alam kong pagod siya. I don't want to tire him more.
