"Is night or day? Hmmm..."
I sighed. I rested my head on Blade's chest.
We made love for hours, ni hindi na namin namalayan ang oras na lumipas. Halos nakalimutan na namin ang lahat pati na ang problemang kakaharapin namin paglabas ng kwarto ito.
Ano na nga ba ang gagawin ko? Namin?
Mama surely know by now about us she was the one who let Blade in my room, but what about her decision? Will she let us be together?
Malaking eskandalo ito ng pamilya namin. Walang nakakaalam bukod sa Coven namin na hindi niya ako totoong anak. And Blade, being her long lost brother, our union will be considered incest.
Pati si Papa inaalala ko. He will kill Blade for sure. I remembered Rafaella's memory as if it is my own. Hindi maganda ang pangyayari noon. Ayoko nang maulit uli.
And what happened to Bullet? Si Van, si Mommy G? Are they alright? I know mother have done something to them. May hinala akong nasabi na ni Mike ang tungkol sa kanila.
And I sighed again.
Si Paeng...How will I face him?
"I have no idea, mon amour..." Blade said hazily while stroking my hair.
Napapikit ako. My mind wondered off my worries again. Siya lang talaga ang nakakapagpaklama sakin nang ganito.
"How do you feel now?" He asked me.
Napangiti ako. "Better..." I feel whole again.
"I want to stay like this forever." I told him.
"Hindi na tayo magkakahiwalay, I made a promise--"
"You made a promise to her, my prince," I cut him off. I made face. "Not me."
Nakakaramdam ako nang bahagyang alog. Blade's laughing, nakakainis.
But then again, I never heard him laugh like this before. Ang nakilala kong Blade noon ay laging kunot ang noo at mukha laging may problema sa buhay.
I like this version of him more.
"Are you jealous on your old self, mon amour?" He then asked.
Ngumuso ako. How could I be? Iisa lang naman kami.
"But if I wasn't Rafaella. Would you still love me?"
Tinanong ko na sa kanya ito noon. Di naman ako nakakuha ng maayos na sagot. Ito nasiguro ang tamang pagkakataon.
I felt him sigh. "No."
Napakunot ako ng noo. Umangat ako sa kanya saka nagtabing ng kumot.
"Why?"
He just smiled when he saw my reaction. Naupo din siya at marahang kinuha ang kamay ko.
"We full blooded vampires can only love once Nia. My heart wouldn't beat like this if you weren't my intended mate," he explained. He took my hand and place it on his chest. I did feel his heart, it's beating fast.
"If you weren't her, I know you wouldn't even look at me too. You wouldn't love me like this."
No. Probably not.
Noon nga ay pinigilan ko pa ng husto ang sarili kong mahalin siya. Dahil alam kong mali, akala ko talaga ay hunter siya. But then, hindi talaga kayang pigilan pa ang nakatakda na noon pa.
Maybe it's the same reason Rafael and I ended up like this. He was supposed to my husband by now kung hindi ako umalis. Lahat sila naniniwalang kami ang para sa isa't isa noon. But I never felt anything like this when I with him.
