i woke up late.

ang sakit ng ulo ko!

i remember what happened last night.

those damn girls, kung hindi lang ako pinigilan ni zanjoe i would've beat each one of them.

it's already 6 am when i got out of my bed.

i'm still wearing my nighties when i went downstairs to make breakfast.

then i got a text from scarlette that her and argus are riding with jhong with sarina today since their father was nowhere to be seen.

i just sighed reading that message.

it's been weeks since everything happened, nothing is improving it looks like everything is just turning for the worst.

i don't even know kung umuwi sya kagabi, i don't know what happened last night.

i was in the middle of making my sandwich when i heard the door opened.

it's not a surprise him coming home in the morning.

sanay na ako.

i could hear his footsteps towards me.

"good morning.." he greeted and was about to gave me a kiss but moved my face away.

"where have you been?" i asked not looking at him while still making my breakfast.

"inumaga lang from office.." he said.

i just glanced at him for a sec before looking away.

office huh? i doubt it.

"where are the kids?" he asked.

"jhong drove them to school.." i sighed.

"isn't that your job." i asked in a low voice but clear enough for him to hear it.

i heard him scoffs.

"i have an important things to take care off that's why i couldn't leave." he said.

"actually, you could just woke up early drove them to school today if you're not wasted last night." he sarcastically said.

"really? well, atleast i never left them alone in the house almost everynight..dito ka pa ba nakatira?" i clapped back.

he looks at me.

"don't turn this around on me? i know you wanted this to happen, i know you don't want me around cause apparently i disgust you." he scoffs.

"don't make me look like i'm the bad guy! i never said i was disgusted with you being around and i never ask you to go home almost every morning smelling like an alcohol." i rolled my eyes.

"you don't have to tell me! i can see it from your face, everyday i have to face you with that disappointing, disgusted look on you! i know you don't want me around so i'm just doing you a favor. i feel like shit when i'm around you don't you get it?" he sighed.

i then put the bread knife as i faced him.

"i've never ever think of you that way, naiisip mo yan dahil nagi-guilty ka. your guilt is eating you up that's why you couldn't face me, you're my husband and if i hate you and i'm disappointed i will still choose to see you when i woke up every day because i'm committed to you, so don't you ever fucking tell me that i don't want you around!" i said.

"really marie? you don't hug me, you don't even greet me first thing in the morning and you certainly don't kiss me like you used to do. for fuck's sake we don't even sleep in the same bed anymore so what am i supposed to think?" he said.

i couldn't say anything.

"i love you and i hate to see you hurting whenever i'm around." he sighed

"all i wanted from you is to face this problem..i want this to get fixed, hindi mo ba naiintindihan yon?" i asked.

"how could i face it when you don't even believe me from the beginning?" he said.

"i'm getting tired of this situation babe, are you willing to forget this and let us start over?" he asked.

my heart was racing.

i don't know what to say.

hindi ko alam kung kaya ko.

"kiss me marie, kiss me and i'll make everything go away" he whispered as he gets close to me.

my heart was beating like she wants to get out of rib cage.

his both hand was on my nape as he was caressing my face with his thumb.

i closed my eyes and bumped our foreheads

"i love you." he started whispering.

seconds later and i finally close the gap between our lips.

i could feel his lip gladly accepting mine while his hand is still in my nape pushing me even deeper.

i feel my body melting.

i could taste the beer he had and how it's making me drunk too.

i could feel the sincerity in his kiss, may pag iingat. his touches feels new to me..

maybe because it's been so long since we had a moment like this.

the moment just feels so light and there's no burden in my shoulder, i feel like it just lifted and disappeared.

his kisses were going deeper, his hands were slowly moving away from my face. i could feel it traveling down to my waist and pulling me a lot closer until our body is touching each other.

agad nya akong inalalayan papunta sa sofa.

he then sat on the sofa without breaking our kiss and before guiding me to sat on his lap.

he was caressing my back and pushing me closer so he can bobbed his head deeper into my lips.

it was sensitive, so overwhelming and passionate.

i could feel him squeezing me closer and not wanting to let go.

shit.

when i feel his kisses going south i immediately moved my face away.

"wait..." i was panting before looking right into his eyes.

he just looks at me.

"let's fix this..hm?" he said.

"stay with me.." he whispered and slowly pull me closer before kissing my lips again.

but before we even got lost in our own world my water boiler started to make noise.

"shit!" i immediately got up on top of him before running towards the stove

"really?" he sighed before following me.

i then turned around facing him before we laughed in unison.
