Sorry

Random Day, 5am, M's condo:

M: *awakens by the buzzing of her phone, she barely opens her eyes to peek* Ugh.. RJ, stop it. *murmurs, pushes phone away*
********
RJ has called 20 times and has sent her 15 messages over the next 4 hours. She ignored all of them.

"Serves you right." She thought after rejecting his 12th call and goes to sleep.
********
Last night, 12mn:
M: *prepping the ingredients for her pasta recipe, calls R on FaceTime* Hi Love! *she beams, setting her phone on the stand* Kumusta? *continues slicing the onions*

R: Hi Love. Nagluluto ka?

M: Yes. Halika na.

R: I can't, Love. Nandito na ako sa bahay. May early shoot pa tomorrow at ikaw di ba you've had along day? Galing ka pa sa puyat. Matulog ka na kaya? Pahinga ka na.

M: Umuwi ka? Di ba it's our date night? Bakit ka umuwi?

R: I checked with Ate Patch sabi nya late na nga daw kayo matatapos dun sa shoot so umuwi na ako. Hindi akalain na tutuloy pa tayo.

M: Si Ate Patch? Bakit hindi ako ang tinanong mo? Date natin to di ba?

R: Love, sorry. Di ko talaga alam.

M: Kahapon pa natin to napagusapan. Kagabi ko pa binili tong mga to. Kanina nung nag-usap tayo before the shoot. Go lahat. Bakit ngayon? *exasperated sigh* Fine. Wag na. Good night. *ends call*
*******
R: Love.. *M ends call* Binaba na. *dials M's number, no answer*

R paces around his room. "Love, sumagot ka please."

R kept calling M and sent several text messages over the next hour. There was no response from M. She even rejected a few of his calls.

R: *grunts in frustration* Love, please naman... *tosses his phone on the bed* Di na yun sasagot. Hopeless na. Pupuntahan ko ba? Baka tulog na yun at baka lalo lang magalit. *drops on his bed, frustrated* Bukas na lang. Puntahan ko sya bukas.

He tried to sleep but barely got any. He just tossed and turned on his bed.
*********
M hears the doorbell ring but still ignores it. She places a pillow over her ear to muffle out the sound.

The sound stops. After a few minutes, she hears scuffling of footsteps to the kitchen then the sound starts approaching her room.

She squeezes her eyes close. "How did he get in? Ofcourse, he got in. He has a key." She adjusts the pillow and pretends to sleep as she hears the door knob turn.

The scent of his perfume fills the room. She soon feels him lying beside her.

R: *hugs M, buries his face in her hair* Love...

M: *ignores him, pretends to sleep*

R: *tightens his hug, lays his leg over hers* Love, alam kong gising ka na. Mabilis na paghinga mo meaning naiinis ka na. Halika na. I brought breakfast.

M: *thinks "How does he know these things about me?"* Go away, RJ.

R: *gets up on one elbow, rubs his nose on her cheek* Love, kausapin mo na ako please.

M: Stop it, RJ. Go away.

R: *plants tiny fluttery kisses on her cheek* Please, Love, wag ka na magtampo. Mag-usap tayo.

M: Stop it, RJ. I swear lalo akong naiinis.

R: Di ako titigil hangga't di mo ako kinakausap. *blows air into her ear then kisses it*

M: Ugh, RJ, stop it. *covers her face with pillow*

R: Love naman eh.. *removes the pillow from her face*

M: Wag na makulit. Umuwi ka na lang.

R: Bakit ba ayaw mo akong kausapin? Tama na bibi ko please... *touches M's nose, kisses it*

M: Why are you here anyway? Ayaw mo naman akong kasama. Umuwi ka na.

R: Anong ayaw makasama? Ofcourse gusto kitang laging kasama. *hugs M tight again*

M: Kaya di ka dumating sa date night natin di ba kasi gusto mo akong makasama. *snaps sarcastically*

R: Love, sorry na talaga. Akala ko talaga di tayo matutuloy. *buries his face in the crook of her neck*

M: *shrugs him off, sits up* Hindi ka kasi sa akin nagtatanong. Tapos di ka din nagsabi na umuwi ka na. Umasa ako.

R: *sits up and faces her, looks at her face, touches it, then takes both of her hands* Mali ko talaga yun. Sorry na talaga, Love. Ayaw kasi kitang maistorbo sa trabaho mo at gusto ko sana na magpahinga ka na din pagkatapos.

M: Tatay mode ka na naman. RJ, I was tired. I did work too much. And at the end of the day, I needed you, my boyfriend. I needed my boyfriend to show up on a date that we scheduled kasi konti lang ang time that we can actually spend together.

She didn't sound angry anymore, she sounded sad and tired.

R: *kisses her hands several times* I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Ayoko na mag-away please, Love.

M: I don't want to fight anymore either. I just want to be alone now.

R: *gets alarmed, hugs her tight* No. No please, Love. Don't do this. Don't go back in your shell. Please.. Love.. Mali ako alam ko pero please.. Wag na ganito.. Please.. *pulls away, holds M's face in his hands* Stay with me, okay. Don't push me away. Sorry na talaga. How can I make it up to you?

M: *shrugs, lies back down on her side*

R: *lies down beside her and hugs her* Hindi ka naman na galit? Sad lang? Wag ka na sad. Mahal *kisses her cheek* na mahal *kisses her side of her ear* na mahal *kisses her below the ear* kita. *rubs his chin lightly on her ear, tickling her with its stubbles*

M: *tickled, smiles* Stop. *holds her giggles*

R: *grins* Uy, nakikiliti sya. Tatawa na yan. *pokes her side*

M: Stop, RJ. *still holding her giggles*

R: Halika nga. *gently turns M to lie on her back and face him, lies on his belly resting on his elbows* I miss you. *smiles* I'm sorry. *looks in her eyes, rubs his nose on hers, kisses it* I love you. *moves to kiss her lips*

M: *she turns away*

R: Love... *gently turns her face to look at him again* Galit ka pa ba sa akin? Nagtatampo?

M: Konti.

R: *sings*
🎶Is it too late now to say sorry?
'Cause I'm missing more than just your body, oh🎶

*runs his hand down her body*

🎶Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah, I know-oh-oh, that I let you down
Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?🎶

M: *smiles*

R: Ayan . Nag-smile na Love ko. Pwede na kiss?

M:*smiles* Pwede.

R: Ayun oh. Thank you, Love. I love you so much. Please always remember that. There is nothing more real than this truth.

M: *nods her head* And I love you more and more, Love.

R gently caresses her face and stares lovingly into her eyes before kissing her lips passionately.

R: *catching his breath* I think we'll skip breakfast for now. I have to make it up to you.

M: Hmmm... I'd like that. *smirks*

And their lips meet once again in a deep intense kiss as R crawls on top of her. 🙈🙊🙉
