Is It Fate? (An AlDub Fanfic)

Chapter 16

The following chapter  shows a reality that some of us probably haven't seen or experienced yet.  But it happens.  In real life.  It might be against your beliefs or standards, but I tried to be as real as possible with this story even if this is supposed to be just that - a story about MaiChard told in an AU setting.  

I just want to throw it out there because I don't want to hear anything that would say that what happened here is wrong and that I shouldn't subject MaiChard in such a situation.  This is my story.  I am merely using MaiChard as my characters. 

Anyway - tweet me at @wuthie16 or comment below for anything.

This is also unbeta'ed and not proofread as always.  Any mistakes you see are mine.  :)

I woke up feeling disoriented.  It was already nighttime, judging from the darkness I see outside the open window.  For a moment, I didn't know where I was.  When I slowly opened my eyes, I frowned as I took a gander around me, taking a moment to remember what just happened.  

And then it hit me.

Jake texted me after I talked with my mom and kids.  I was getting a divorce.  I was bawling like a baby by myself when Alden came in and comforted me.  Until I fell asleep.

But where am I?  Why am I lying down?  Am I in... bed? 

I felt quite warm so I tried to sit up but found out I couldn't.  I froze when I realized why.  

Slowly - I turned my head and saw with my own eyes the reason why.

Alden was right behind me, his arms around my waist - trapping me close to his body.  He looked so angelic, sleeping - his whole face devoid of any emotion and fully relaxed, mouth slightly opened, eyelashes touching the skin of his face.  He was a vision.  

I had to stifle a gasp when I felt his arm move, clutching me closer to him.

How do I get out of this?!

I tried to remove his arm around me but he just tightened his hold even more, moaning in his sleep.  My heart started to beat fast.  I tried to remember what happened last night that got us into this position.  All I remember was crying my heart out when he came home and I guess - I fell asleep in his arms while he was holding me on the sofa?

So how did we get into bed?  Did he carry me to it?  Why is he with me here?  

"You asked me to stay," he remarked quietly, startling me out of my thoughts - his voice raspy from sleep.  I quickly turned my head and found his eyes still closed but with a small smile on his lips, telling me that he was awake.  

"I asked you to stay?" I repeated, confused but just as quietly.  

"Yes," he replied, snuggling closer to me as he tried to discreetly inhale my scent.  "I carried you to bed at ilalatag lang kita dapat but when I was about to go out of the room, you stopped me then asked if I could stay."

I didn't say anything.  Now that he mentioned it - I did remember bits and pieces of what went on just a little a while ago.  I did ask him to stay.

"What time is it?  How did you know I was awake?" I asked instead.

"Hmmm... Too late to get up," he whispered, nuzzling my neck, making me shiver.  "Tsaka galaw ka kaya ng galaw kaya nagising din ako."

"Alden..."

His large hands caressed my clothed stomach, making my breath hitch a little.  

"Relax" he whispered.  "I'm not going to do anything.  Unless you want me to."  And I can hear the smile on his lips as he said that even if I couldn't see him.
