First feelings are always the natural.

[Fia's POV]

Eat me.

Call me if you can come home tonight. Susunduin kita.

You don't have to report to work today.

Napatitig ako sa platong nakalapag kung saan ko kinuha ang sticky note na sinulatan ni Kayden. There was also a mug and a glass of water beside it covered with saucer. May nakalapag naman na hula ko ay pain reliever sa tabi ng tubig.

Nasapo ko ang ulo ko. I don't feel a bit of a headache or anything odd with my body, I actually felt the opposite. Masarap ang gising ko. I tightly shut my eyes as waves of memories suddenly swarmed inside my head. T-the memories were so clear that I could still feel him and smell him beside me. Sobrang kumapit ang pamilyar niyang amoy sa'kin, sa kumot ko at sa unan ko.

I grunted. Ugh! How could I be so stupid? Bakit ko iyon ginawa? Lalo ko lang dinagdagan ang problema ko.

Napatitig muli ako sa nakahaing pagkain sa sidetable. I removed the covered plate.

I bit my bottom lip nang makita ko ang nakahain doon. It had two piles of my favorite pancake top with caramel syrup. Meron ding sliced cucumber, carrots at mango sa gilid. It was the very kind of breakfast that I like.

I have maple, chocolate and caramel syrup in the fridge pero ang caramel ang pinakapaborito ko. Natatandaan pa ba niya iyon? And seriously marunong siyang gumawa ng pancakes? Natatandaan kong mahilig siya sa mga matatamis but I've never seen him made one in the kitchen. Mahilig lang talaga siyang kumain.

Sinunod ko namang kinuha ang takip na saucer sa itaas ng mug. The hot chocolate was still warm.

Ibig sabihin kaaalis lang niya?

I groaned and framed my face with my hands. Gaga talaga ako. First, I gave him head, then, I was the one who initiated the kiss last night, and I doubt if it was him who did it the other night. I was drunk. It could have been me. Pero alam kong manyakis siya. It could have been him too.

Mangiyak ngiyak kong ibinaon ang mukha ko sa unan kung saan dumikit ang amoy ni Kayden. It was easy to deny that I never really enjoyed his kiss. Pero niloloko ko ba ang sarili ko? I was tipsy and giddy and all but I was aware of what I did. I did enjoy his kiss, I even nearly lost myself to him. Kung hindi lang niya pinutol ang halik ay baka tuluyan na akong nakalimot.

And even if I have to deny it too ay ramdam kong walang halong pangmamanyak mula sa kanya ang nangyari kagabi. Hindi ko alam. Hindi ko maexplain. I felt Kayden's tenderness towards me, sa paraan ng pagtitig niya, sa yakap niya...sa halik niya...

Gaga.Gaga.Gaga. Shit! Shit talaga!

Ni hindi ko pa na alam ang gagawin ko kay Elijah. Hindi ko pa alam kung pa'no ko siya kakausapin. I couldn't even still fathom my feelings for him.

Ugh. Bakit sobra na akong naaapektuhan kay Kayden? Baliw na ba ako? I shook my head. I need to keep sane bago pa ako totoong madala sa mental hospital.

This time, I guess, I need to face my shadows kahit masakit. Tama si Manang Marla at si Louise.

Napabangon ako, limang beses na nag-inhale exhale at nagdesisyong kainin ang inihanda ni Kayden. I couldn't ignore my stomach. Gutom na ako dahil soup lang ang kinain ko kagabi.

But the instant I tasted the hot chocolate and the pancake ay gusto kong magsisi...

How could I eat my everyday breakfast without having the thoughts of him and this?
