Love me Again

16

It was a relaxing day for Anne Curtis. Apart from the office fiasco, she had spent most of the day at home. But her fridge was getting dangerously empty and she decided it would be best to get groceries when she had the time.

Medyo malayo ang grocery store sa may appartment niya. Mga sampung kilometro rin ang layo kumpara sa mga normal na appartments na kadalasan e walking distance lang. Nagd-drive na siya ng mapansin niya ang panaka-nakang ulan sa may kalsada. Ito yung mga panahon na ayaw ni Vice at ang eksaktong panahon na gustong gusto naman ni K. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa nga rin niya maintindihan kung paano nagkasundo ang dalawa knowing na total opposite sila. K was day, Vice was night. They weren't just any two people and when Anne caught a glimpse of their faces, she almost ran into the car in front of her. She drove slowly, allowing the cars to pass her.

Si Vice at K nga ito. Halos hindi na nga niya nakilala dahil hinding hindi mo maiimagine na makita si Vice na tumatakbo at hinahabol si Karylle sa gitna ng kalsada habang umaambon. For her, napakachildlike ito at tatawanan siya ni Vice kung saka-sakaling sasabihin niya na nakita niya silang dalawa ni K. Pero sila talaga ang nakikita ng dalawa niyang mga mata. No wonder they simply complemented each other.

Gabi na ng nakauwi silang dalawa. They spent the entire day out, ate at a local pizza joint and returned home in time to take a shower and head to bed. Ang unang napansin ni Vice pagkauwi nila ay gumagana na ang heater. Agad agad pumasok si Vice upang lakasan pa ang heater dahil sobrang lamig na ng unit. Kasunod niya si K na tinanggal na ang jacket at ang suot nitong boots.

"Do you mind if I go first?" K stated, her face completely red.

"Go ahead." ang sabi naman ni Vice na ngayon ay nagtatanggal narin ng kanyang sapatos. Tumango lang si K at nagtungo na sa banyo. In the mean time, ay umupo na si Vice sa may sofa at tinanggal ang kanyang basang-basang pantalon. Napaisip siya, na dahil bumalik na ang kuryente, ay kaylangan na niya ulit bumalik sa pagtulog sa sofa. Sleeping in the same bed as K was like a drug. He was hooked and he knew he wouldn't be able to go back to sleeping by himself. His eyes slowly drifted as he listened to the steady beat of the shower on the walls.

Nang lumabas si K galing sa shower ay agad niyang narinig si Vice na naghihilik at natutulog na sa sofa, suot-suot parin nito ang damit na kanina pang basa. Alam ni K na magkakasakit si Vice sa ginagawa niya kaya agad itong lumapit at ginising ito.

"Uy, gising." She said. Vice mumbled something angrily and rolled over. Not one to be discouraged, she shook Vice harder. "Hey, wake up!"

"Ano?" Vice growled. Despite his grouchiness, K found it endearing.

"You have to take a shower or something. You're going to freeze like that."

"Wala akong pake." Vice muttered.

"Come on, at least change out of those clothes!" ang sabi ni K. Pero nagsimula na ulit maghilik si Vice. Napailing nalang si K at nagpunta sa may kwarto nila. Kumuha siya ng pinakamakapal na damit ni Vice at tsaka bumalik sa may sofa. Without any hesitation, she hoisted him up into a seated position.

"Ano?" Vice demanded. K grabbed at the hem of Vice's shirt and lifted it up and over his head, effectively turning it inside out. Tulog na tulog si Vice para mapansin, halos bumalik nga lang ito sa pagkakahiga. K stopped for a moment and looked at his half naked body. She had the urge to run her fingers along Vice's smooth, toned stomach but instantly blushed and turned away when the thought crossed her mind. Umiling siya at bumalik na sa ginagawa niyang pagbibihis kay Vice. She lifted Vice again into the seated position and slipped him into this fitted sweatshirt and set him back down. Iniisip ni K kung papalitan din ba nito ang kanyang boxers. Medyo basa parin ito at wala naman sigurong malisya dahil magbestfriend naman sila at bakla naman siya. Umiba nalang siya ng tingin habang tinatanggal at boxer nito at agad agad na isinuot sa kaibigan ang dalang jogging pants. Nang makita niyang bihis na si Vice ay kumuha ito ng kumot at inilagay sa harapan nito. Vice mumbled cutely and rolled into a curling position. The noise caused K to grin.
