His Other Side (on hold)

22 : Make Me

Naramdaman ko na mayroong mabigat na nakadagan sa akin. Isa pa may kakaibang init na nanggagaling dito. With my eyes still closed, I tried to move but my body was trapped.

I sighed then opened my eyes slowly. And I was stunned to see that Dale was hovering above me, a small smile was playing on his lips.

I avoided his intense gaze and tried to look around. Wala na kami sa living room. Nasa isang kwarto kami at pamilyar ito sa akin. Sa guest room ba ito?

"Reese," I heard Dale call my name, his voice was hoarse and thick. His hot breath was tickling the skin of my face and down to my neck.

Gripping onto the sheets, I moved my eyes back at him.

Gusto kong tanungin kung anong ginagawa namin dito. Kung anong ginagawa niya sa ibabaw ko.

Pero hindi ko na nagawang tanungin pa iyon dahil ang mukha niya ay unti-unti nang bumaba hanggang sa maglapat ang mga labi namin.

God, Dale was kissing me.

Nanatiling bukas ang mga mata ko. I was flabbergasted. I couldn't believe that he's kissing me. But later on, I managed to close my eyes, feeling this sweet and gentle kiss that Dale was giving me.

After a while, his lips started to move as I felt his body was already pressing against mine. His hands were both on each side of my waist.

My heart started to go wild. Gusto ko pa ba itong magpatuloy?

Hell yes. I've always wanted this. Ang tagal-tagal ko na itong hinihintay. And now, it's already happening.

Sticking to my decision, I kissed him back, sharing now this passionate kiss with him. I heard him moan at the back of his throat.

I moved my hands up and brought it to his hair, tangling my fingers onto it. I pulled him down to me, making our bodies impossibly closer.

The heat I was feeling reached a higher state when suddenly...

"Reese! Reese!" dinig kong may ibang boses na tumatawag sa akin habang niyuyugyog ako.

Binuksan ko agad ang mga mata ko. Wala si Dale sa ibabaw ko. I looked at my side and saw my brother. Theo was having this confused look on his face.

I ignored that and glanced around.

Nasa living room pa rin ako. In the couch, to be exact. At ang akala ko na si Dale ay ang throw pillow na yakap-yakap ko pa rin hanggang ngayon.

Agad akong bumangon. Geez, panaginip lang pala yun.

"Bakit dito ka natulog?" biglang tanong ni Theo.

I sat straight in the couch and looked at him. Umuurong ang dila ko. Ano bang idadahilan ko?

"Ahh... ehh... ano kasi eh," hindi ko talaga alam ang sasabihin.

Theo lifted an eyebrow.

Hay. Bahala na nga.

"Kagabi kasi hindi ako makatulog kaya lumabas ako at pumunta ng kitchen para uminom ng gatas," umpisa ko at tiningnan siya sa mga mata.

Dapat hindi niya mahalata na gawa-gawa ko lang ito, at itinuloy ko na ang pagsasalita. "Tapos nang pabalik na ako, naalala ko yung pinanood natin, eh walang ilaw sa kuwarto kaya di na ko nakabalik. Dito na lang ako natulog."

Tumango siya at pinanliitan ako ng mata. "Scaredy cat," tukso niya.

Sinimangutan ko lang siya.
