Let Me Be The One

Chapter 21 - Being in the Dark

Brent

"... Babe... we're home..."

I wouldn't want to wake up that beauty. But she needs to rest better on her bed. I softly tapped again to wake her.

"...Babe... we're here..."

She slowly opened her eyes as her head faced me. She then smiled at me before she nodded. I helped her out of the car and up the elevator lobby.

"The night was... magical... thank you, babe..." she said cuddling into my side as she held the bouquet of roses I gave her.

The night was indeed magical... even for me. And as I kissed Gail by the veranda, I held her in my arms. Her lips were as sweet as they have been. I held onto her tighter, in my arms.

"Mahal kita, Gail... and that will never change..." sabi ko as I led her from the veranda, my hand on her hips.

In this darkness, I can see her beauty. Napaka ganda. At mahal ko siya. I moved closer as she stood sa gitna ng sala. Mula sa likod yakap ko siya, as I kissed her neck. She held onto my hands, mahigpit, may pagnanasa.

"Brent... take me..." sabi niya while I unzipped the back of her dress.

After loosening the dress, she then faced me as she took off the jacket I was wearing and started to unbutton my polo.

"Brent..." she moaned as we started undressing slowly.

She took my hand as she led me to the bedroom naked. Hawak ko ang kamay niya sa dilim. She slowly sat on her bed as we kissed with me holding onto her head. Hiniga ko siya slowly as I crawled onto the bed with her. And with that I showed her how much I love her. Sharing this night. Sharing this experience.

Gail

The way he touched me made me feel loved. And as we continued kissing, I felt his hands touching every bit of me. He was very gentle... different... from... from...

... Nicolo...

Brent

I found myself driving home about two hours after leaving Gail's place. After making love, she fell asleep with me hugging her body close to me. Mahigpit. Mainit.

"...Gail..." I said as I continued driving remembering what happened.

She was already 30 minutes asleep when I stood up and went to the living room to dress up. Returning to the bedroom, I stood fixing my sleeves sa I stared at my Gail sleeping soundly. I moved closer to her as I put the blanket on her. And I kissed her forehead bago umalis.

"... I... love... you..." she murmured still asleep as I started walking quietly from her.

I smiled as I turned when she finished her sleep murmuring.

"... Nicolo..."

Then there was silence. All cold silence.
