Midnight Pleasure

22

I feel like someone's caressing my back while hugging me tight, and I could remember how my mom used to do it before whenever I insisted on sleeping by her side before.

It really calms me and it's really making me happy.

I smiled and moved closer to her and hugged her tight.

"Hmm..."

Napakunot ang noo ko nang marinig ang munting pag-ungol na iyon.

Definitely not my mom!

I opened my eyes and I saw Nate's face just inches away from mine!

"What the?" agad akong bumangon at itinulak ang lalaki na napadilat din kaagad at tinignan ako. Bakas ang gulat sa mukha nito habang nakatingin sa akin.

Anong karapatan niyang magulat?

"What the hell, Nate?" I asked him and looked at myself. I was still wearing my clothes from last night, but why the hell was I in his room?

And heck, we're cuddling!

"What?" he asked me, his voice was hoarse and I tried my best to not give attention to that. May mas mahalaga akong dapat na intindihin kaysa sa boses ni Nate!

"Why am I here? Why are we sleeping together?" tanong ko rito. Agad kong kinuha ang unan at niyakap iyon upang takpan ang katawan ko kahit na nakasuot naman ako ng damit. Mabilis din ang tibok ng puso ko habang nakatingin kay Nate na walang damit pang-itaas. He was just wearing his pajamas right now.

He looked at me and scoffed and leaned on the head rest. "You don't remember?" he asked me and I rolled my eyes.

"Tataungin ba kita kung alam ko?" asik ko rito. "Why am I here?" tanong kong muli sa kaniya. "The last time I remember was we're in the kitchen and we..." I bit my lip as the images of us kissing started to infiltrate my mind.

Humigpit din ang hawak ko sa unang nang maalala na nakaupo ako sa may lamesa kagabi at niyakap ko si Nate. I responded to his kisses!

"And we?" he cocked his head and smiled.

Why the hell did he look so good smiling like that right now?

Magulo ang buhok nito, nakahubad at nakikita ko ang ganda ng katawan nito, ang mga mata ay tila inaantok pa dahil sa biglang paggising ko rito.

"We..." I looked down and closed my eyes hard before looking at him again. "Basta! Bakit nga ako nandito?" tanong ko ulit sa kaniya upang iwasan na pag-usapan ang tungkol sa nangyari kagabi.

Hindi ko rin maunawaan sa sarili ko kung bakit ba hindi ko matanggihan ang tukso kapag hinahalikan ako ni Nate.

"Well, we were kissing and–"

"Nate!" I cut him off. Pinanlakihan ko pa siya ng mga mata dahil wala akong planong pag-usapan naming dalawa ang tungkol sa bagay na iyon. Pakiramdam ko ay nangangamatis na sa pula ang mga pisngi ko dahil sa hiya.

He chuckled. "Alecsandra, that's what happened last night. If you want to know how you ended up being here, you should let me finish."

"Whatever," muli ko itong inirapan.

"As I was saying, we were kissing. I put you on top of the table, I kissed you, and you kissed me back," he said and I could sense he was smiling while saying those words.

Hindi ko magawang mag-angat ng tingin dahil para bang kapag tumingin ako kay Nate ngayon, mas magiging malinaw sa alaala ko ang nangyari kagabi.

Heck, I can still remember how his lips felt against mine...
