     I grunted when I felt na nangangalay ang braso ko. Kakagising ko lang pero ramdam ko na kaagad ang sakit ng ulo ko. I tried, with all my might, to take a peak of my surroundings. That may have been the dumbest thing I've done since I was greeted by the sunlight that was directly hitting my face.

Putangina naman.

But before I could even roll out of the bed, namilog ang mata ko nang makita ko ang isang babaeng nakahiga sa dibdib ko. Her face is stuffed in my clothed chest.

I gently lift her hair that was majestically scattered on my chest. My heart swelled at the sight of her angelic and peaceful sleeping face. Her lips were slightly parted as small, soft snores escaped from them.

How can this woman look so beautiful?

I furrowed my brows as I tried to recall the events from the night before. The last thing I remember was her voice begging me to continue what I was doing. But of course, I'm not going to discuss the whole thing. Whatever happened in my car and this bed, after we went here from the bar, will stay here.

I don't kiss and tell.

I gently shifted my spot, trying not to wake her up. However, the sight of her resting so comfortably on me brought a strange sense of calmness.

This woman looks like she's comfort personified.

"You can run and leave me here now. I wouldn't mind."

My eyes widened when she suddenly lifted her head from my chest. Her eyes were still half-closed but now that I can see her bare face properly, I can already confirm that she's a Goddess in disguise.

"Why would I do that?" I returned.

I mustered up my courage and reached out for the hair that was bothering her face. I gently held it between my fingers before I tucked it behind her ear, fixing it for her.

"Don't you all do that? Pagkatapos ng one-night stand, aalis kaagad?" She asked.

This time, she finally opened her eyes to meet mine. And believe me when I say that it made me choke on my own saliva. Ang ganda niya. There was something in her eyes that I couldn't quite explain. Parang hinahatak ako nito papalapit.

"You all... what do you mean by that?" I said, still coughing. She raised her brow at me as if saying 'You know what I mean,'. "Oh, you think I'm one of those fuck girls who would run after someone scratched their itch?"
