Accidentally on Purpose (Completed)

Chapter 41 - Sleeping Beauty

"Good morning, Isaac. Akala ko magaala sleeping beauty ka. Mabuti naman gising ka na. You see nasa apartment tayo ni Mateo. Ang galing mo kasi eh noh? Nagpapakalasing sa isang bar? Wow so mature of you." I meant to be sarcastic and I saw him staring at me.

Last night tinawagan ko si Mateo to ask for his help dahil hindi ko kayang buhatin mag isa si Ice. Apparently marami na siyang nainom and sabi ng bartender. After I kissed him he just sort of fell asleep. Great!

I see him opening his mouth to say something.

I waved a finger at him. "You have no right to talk." I said so he shuts his mouth.

"Let me get this clear, first, I'm here because I can't leave you alone like that. Pangalawa, galit pa rin ako sayo for cutting off contact at pangatlo, hindi pa kita pinatawad."

"I'm the one who changed your clothes by the way." Sinabi ko talaga iyon because I miss seeing his red ears when he's embarrassed.

Napatingin siya sa t-shirt niya at sa pajama niya. Pero naglinger ang tingin sa pajama. I decided to tease him more.

"Wag mo nang tignan. It's not like may makikita. There's nothing to see." I look at him while shaking my head.

His mouth fell open. "You didn't."

"I did." I nodded. "Well it's not like nandito si Mateo. Isa pa I don't think he'll help. Maybe he would just let you sleep with your vomited clothes on."

Knowing Mateo I know he wouldn't. Masyadong mabait sa kaibigan 'yun eh. Pinatuloy nga niya kami dito at pinatulog pa sa room niya at siya doon sa spare. But before that sympre pinapalit ko muna sa kanya ang damit ni Ice.

"Look, I'm sorry." He said.

"For what exactly?"

Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at pinatong sa may lap niya. "I know I'm being unfair by cutting you off like that. I.. don't know. I need to think and I can't think when I'm with you."

"And I would have let you if you just told me. Kilala mo ako, Ice." I turned to him but he wasn't looking.

Kanina ko pa napapansin na hindi niya ako tinitignan pero hindi ko nalang pinansin.

"Yeah. That's why I'm apologizing."

Pinanood ko siya habang pinaglalaruan niya ang mga daliri ko then I snatched my hand away. I cupped his face and look him in the eye and said, "When you apologize, you don't do it again. That's what it is for. It's not just a word, Ice. I don't want words, ayaw ko ng sorry, ayaw ko ng mga sweet words. I want action. Gusto ko ng proof."

I didn't get to finish what I'm saying because he just grabbed my neck and kissed me full on my mouth. I was taken aback because I didn't expect that and I remember that night. The night he--

"Wait," I pulled back from him. His brows crunched and I had to say anything before he could make any more faces. "The last time you kissed me, you disappeared. So what now?"

"You want proof. And though you don't like words as much as actions. I'll still say this. I love you, Tiffany. I love you and I'll never disappear again until you say so." His hand is on the back of my waist and starts pulling me closer.

I laid my hands on his chest before our lips met. "How can I believe you? Paano kung bigla ka nanaman mawala? Saan nanaman kita hahana--"

He let out an impatient groan before kissing me again. "I won't. I promise. I already sealed it with a kiss." He said in between kisses.

Deep inside I know that even though he disappeared again. I'm going to find this man. I found him the last time so I'm sure I can do it again and I'm willing to do it over and over again. Wala lang naman ang effort pag dating sa taong mahal mo diba?

"I love you too." I whispered.

"I love you more than anything." He said.

"Naalala mo ba mga sinabi mo kagabi?"

He pouted. "I remembered your face when I told you to leave."

We ended up in bed. Cuddling. Feeling each other's warmth. He pulled me close to him and I snuggled close to him. He's wearing Mateo's shirt but he smells just the same.

"What the hell are you doing?" Someone yanked the door open. Lalo akong sumiksik the moment I saw that person's contorted face.

Ice chuckled at my reaction and he got up in a sitting position slowly. "Seriously?" Halos naiimagine ko ang mukha ni Mateo pero hindi ko siya kayang tignan.

"Chill it's not like you caught us doing something."

Tinulak ko si Ice in a way that is telling him to shut up but he won't. "Besides we're not going to have sex in your room."

"Pag hindi pa ako dumating God knows what will you guys do in my bed."

"No!" Tumawa si Ice na parang nakakatawa ang sinabi ni Mateo. "Ikaw lang ang nagiisip ng kung ano ano."

I flushed and just covered half of my face with the comforter.

"I just saw you kissing on my bed!" He said hysterically. "Get up. Get up now. Bumili ako ng breakfast."

"Okay! Fine. Lalabas na kami." He then shoo Mateo away.

I watched him shook his head and rolled his eyes before shutting the door.

I giggled the moment he is out. Oh God this is so embarrassing.

Ice found my hand and pulled me up. "Let's go before he barged in again."

"You are aware that this is his room."

Nakita kong bumili siya ng pancakes and there is bacon too and he's currently frying eggs.

The three of us ate in silence and occasionally eye contact with Ice and then we both will stifle a laugh.

Since Mateo already brought breakfast, ako naman ang nagvolunteer na maghugas ng pinagkainan.

Habang naghuhugas ako I felt a hand snaked around my waist and a head leaned on my shoulder.

I giggled as he nuzzled my neck. Siniko ko siya para paalisin sa likod ko kahit na ayaw ko siyang umalis dahil baka makita nanaman kami ni Mateo.

"Why does this keep happening to me?"

We turned our heads only to see Mateo again with the face he had earlier. He threw his hands up in frustration and shook his head repeatedly.

Pinigilan kong matawa at hinayaan si Ice magsalita.

"We are in your apartment. Where do you want us to go?"

He exhaled in defeat and walks away. Siniko ko naman si Ice na tumawa pero sinundan ang kaibigan.

Is it okay to say that I'm happy, and that I'm contented with my life. There's nothing more I want than this moment.

Right now, alam kong ito ang gusto ko.
