last night's "abangan" (for ep. 57 19.05.17) prompted this story.....
= = = = = = = =
Sinag sat at the edge of the bed. She just woke up and was thinking of a "dream" she just had. Yesterday's event were just too much. She remembers running away with Benjie. They had no plans, everything was spontaneous. She remembers falling asleep on the big bed with Benjie beside her, pillows between them. She's used to Tala sleeping beside her but Tala never hugged her. There was always a space between them. Either their bed was just too big or they weren't "malikot" while they slept.
Sinag sighed deeply. Trying to recall the "dream", she pictured the pillows between them somehow disappearing and Benjie's arm and leg were on her. She remembers smelling him; But then again, he had passed out in her arms so she inhaled his scent.
Sinag stands up and walks into the bathroom. She walks into a bathing Benjie who is in the shower. She screams which startles him. She runs out of the bathroom still screaming, her hands confused on whether to cover her eyes or her mouth.
"Benjie!" She hurriedly goes back into the bathroom.
"Huuuy!" He screams back, trying to cover up his front. "Bakit?!" Benjie says after seeing Sinag's eyes widen more.
"Ah...eh...." Sinag stuttered.
Rj quickly opens the shower door and grabs a towel to cover himself properly.
"Uhmm....eh.....gagamit sana ako ng toilet...." Sinag tucks her hair behind her ear and looks away.
"Ah...sige....sige....dun nalang ako sa room magbibihis.....excuse me...." Benjie picks up his clothes and rushes out of the bathroom, Sinag closing the door behind him.
Sinag leans against the door, processing what just happened while covering her giggles with her hand. They've gotten dressed in the same room many times but this was the first time she saw him totally naked from head to foot and upclose!
After a long while, Benjie knocks on the bathroom door. "Sinag?"
".....yes?"
"Tapos ka na? Mag-breakfast na tayo...."
"Ah...uhmm....sige.....wait lang......"
"Benjie.....Ben....jie...." Sinag calls out, a tone of hesitation in her voice.
"Bakit?"
"Uhmm....naiwan ko yung towel ko dyan sa chair e...."
Benjie slowly enters the bathroom, avoiding looking at the bathroom stall which had clear glass all around.
"A..andito sa may handle sa labas..." He said as he hung the towel on the stall's outside handle cum towel bar.
He tries his best not to look at Sinag's svelte figure inside the shower stall. But her curves are very obvious even in the corner of his eye.
Benjie hurriedly steps out of the bathroom and closes the door. He tries to distract himself by watching TV on the bed.
The bed. Last night, after their decision to go on a "spontaneous" adventure after their struggles over the past weeks, they slept together for the very first time. He was still trying to learn more about this girl who had captured his heart. Last night though, they had "no choice" but to sleep together on one bed, in this room. They put up a divider of pillows between them when they got into bed. But somehow, in the middle of the night, the pillows "moved" out of the way. She was whimpering and restless. He embraced her while they slept and she comfortably put her arm around him; she moved closer to him until her forehead rested on his chest. Benjie had the best sleep in weeks!
Sinag appeared from the bathroom with a towel around her head. "T....thanks sa towel....and sa shirt..." She said as she pulled on the shirt which had the word "Queen" written on it. It matched the "King" shirt Benjie was wearing. The resort they were staying at seemed to have a penchant for young couples – the clothes sold at their gift shop were in pairs!
Soon they were ready for the day. Hand in hand, fingers intertwined, they stepped out of the room to enjoy the resort's facilities and forget their problem for at least a day.
