Chapter Twenty-Three

I have nothing to hide, you already have my soul...
•••

[Fia's POV]

I STOOD behind his back fighting the urge to inch my body close to him and bury my face at the angle of his nape.

This is another stupid thing to think of. I know I have no right to kiss him or do whatever that is my silly mind is urging me to do...

But... I don't know. Kayden just had the power to awaken every nerve fiber inside my being.

I bit my bottom lip. "Hin-di ka pa ba tapos?"

"You should have waited for me outside," he sighed and brought a hand to press his temple. So he knew na nandito ako? Ayaw lang siguro niyang magpa istorbo.

"You're tired. Bukas mo nalang kaya 'yan tapusin?" I equipped. Geez, I don't want to sound like a concerned girlfriend pero kasi dapat nagpapahinga na siya.

"Konti nalang matatapos na 'to."

I guess you can't just easily ask an artist na tapusin ang ginagawa nila especially if they're in the mood. And Kayden is in his serious mode right now.

I fidgeted my hand for a while. I was battling if I'd leave or stay and massage his temple.

With a faint breath, I chose the latter.

Inangat ko ang mga kamay ko at marahang dinala sa sentido niya. I put a light pressure on his temples using each thumb while the rest of my fingers were working on his head.

He let out a soft groan."You don't need to do that, Fia. Mahiga ka na sa kwarto. I'll be there in a while."

"Bakit ba kasi? Kailangan mo ba talagang matapos 'yan ngayon?" Frustrated ko na sabi habang tuloy paring minamasahe ang ulo niya.

"The band needs the final arrangement tomorrow," he gasped. It was obvious that he was tired. Ayaw lang niyang magpa-awat. Gusto yata niyang magpakamatay para sa kantang iyan.

Kainis. Siya na nga 'tong tinutulungan. Ni hindi man lang niya ako makuhang tingnan!

"Tuloy mo lang iyang ginagawa mo. I will just massage your temples," giit ko kahit naiinis na ako sa kanya.

I remember doing this same thing to my dad noon kapag nakikita kong pagod na pagod siya.I bit my lip and I closed my eyes. Inaatake na muli ako ng nostalgia.

Instead of moping over bittersweet memories ay tuloy ko nalang na menasahe ang ulo niya. I was making small circles around his temples. Pigil na pigil ko ang sarili kong ilapit ang katawan ko sa katawan niya. I felt like hugging him earlier wasn't enough. Gusto kong magsumiksik sa katawan niya...gusto ko muli siyang yakapin...at halikan...

Ugh. Why does he easily affects my hormones?

Maya-maya ay natigilan siya. Narinig ko ang malalim niyang buntong hininga saka niya hinuli ang isa kong kamay.

"Ba-kit?" I stuttered. Biglang nanlamig ang kamay ko. Kayden's hand felt so warm and so tender with my hand.

"Na miss mo ba ako?" I didn't know if he was taunting me kasi seryoso ang tono ng boses niya.
