Almost Feels Like Always (COMPLETED)

HUDSON (TWENTY)

I TOOK a bite of pizza while the wide TV screen announced the fatality of my enemy. Damn. Mortal Kombat isn't here to fuck around. This game is freaking dope. I paused it when my phone rang. I got excited because it was my baby.

"Hey, babe!" I exclaimed in enthusiasm.

"Can I come over?" She asked blandly. Kumunot ang noo ko.

"I asked you earlier. Kagabi pa nga, actually, pero sabi mo ayaw mo. I thought—"

"Can I come over or no?" Mariing tanong niya. She sounded so pissed.

I sighed. "Of course, you can."

"Why can't you just answer 'yes' then? Ang dami mo pang sinasabi!"

Wow. "I was just—"

"I'm coming over!" She hung up. She didn't even say bye.

What the hell? Ang sungit. Kahapon pa siya ganito. Hindi ko alam kung anong problema niya dahil kapag tinatanong ko, siya pa ang galit. She's normally nice naman—well, minsan nagtataray din pero hindi ganito. She's just grumpy like this when it's that time of the month.

Therefore I conclude, she's on red alert.

Oh, no.

She transforms into a dragon when she's on her period. She spits fire that sets everything ablaze. My life is like a living hell everytime. And I'm not even exaggerating!

I know that girls tend to be like, so moody when it's that time of the month. I saw it in my girl cousins. I thought I'm used to it and I can handle it. Pero ang hirap pala kapag girlfriend mo kasi kailangan mong tiisin. Hindi kagaya n'ong mga pinsan kong babae na pwede kong gantihan at sungitan din.

I was halfway to killing my enemy when I heard the doorknob clicked. Maya-maya bumukas na ang pinto. I know it's Autumn. Siya lang naman ang may access sa condo ko maliban sa 'kin.

I turned to the door's direction and I was right. It was her in all her frowning glory. Her face was grim. Nanunulis ang nguso niya sa pagsimangot. She looked cute though.

"Hi, babe!" I stood up to kiss her but she immediately backed away, disgusted.

She glared at me. "I came over to sleep. Lumayo ka sa 'kin."

What the—okay, self, calm down. That's our Queen. You don't defy the queen. I smiled sweetly at her. "I'll fix the bed for you."

Isang nakakamatay na irap ang sinagot niya sa 'kin. Ugh! So adorable.

"Huwag na! Maglaro ka na lang diyan." Nilagpasan niya ako at dumiretso sa kwarto ko.

Pinagbagsakan pa ako ng pinto! Napailing na lang ako bago muling sumalampak sa sahig at nagpatuloy sa laro. It was Saturday and usually, we go on a date. Minsan naman, sila Dane ang kasama ko. Mamayang hapon tatawag na ang mga 'yun panigurado para magyayang lumabas. Mukha namang ayaw akong makasama ni Autumn ngayon, eh.

Tumayo ako sandali para kumuha ng juice sa fridge. Pagbalik ko sa couch na ako naupo. Nakakatamad. Gusto ko sanang makipag-kwentuhan sa baby ko. Nilingon ko ang pinto ng kwarto. I'm sure as hell masisigawan lang ako, so, no. Dito na lang ako.

I continued playing until I heard the door of my room creaked. Naamoy ko ang perfume ni Autumn. I mentally prepared myself for the shout but it didn't came. She walked towards me with a mix of sad and grumpy expression on her face.

"What's wrong, baby?" Kulang lang sa lambing 'to kaya nilambingan ko ang boses ko.

She straddled on my lap as her arms clung around my neck. Sinubsob niya ang mukha sa leeg ko. God. This position was so not ideal in her state. I bet my Wrangler she would yell at my face once she felt my cock poking her crotch.
