I tried my best. 🙈🙈🙈

2:05am

Ali slaps his naked chest for teasing her.

'Aray naman.' He wraps his arms around her as she rested her head on his chest. She hugs him tight. Both of them naked under the sheets.

'I am not jealous,ok? Ayoko lang na hawakan ka nya.'

'Ganun na din yun.' he grins playfully.

Damn it. She's jealous of Amely.

'Tsk!! Zach,seryoso? Are you going to sleep with her kung wala ako dito?' halata sa boses nya ang konting galit.

'No. Nagpaiwan ako sa team kasi gusto kong magpahinga. And I'll never hook up with our model.'

'What if she's not?'

'Still no!' he confidently answer  because it's the truth.

She feels guilty. She seems like demanding Zach to be her's only. But she cannot give her whole self to him. That's unfair.

'Baby? About--'

'Zach,are you not happy with what we have? This. You and me. Ok naman tayo sa ganito diba?'

'Yes!' says his mouth but no were the answer from his heart and mind.

I want more Ali. I want you to be mine. I want all of you. I want to know you. I want to go deep within your soul. Gusto kong magkatoon ng karapatan. Gusto kong mahalin mo ko kasi mahal kita.

'Good. Because I want this too. I goddamn missed you this past few days . Nakakaloka yung feeling. Hindi ka man lang nagte-text o tumatawag. You just get lost.'

'You want me to!!'

'No I don't! Diba sabi mo hindi ka aalis? Hindi mo ko iiwan. So bakit ganun?'

'Ali,hindi mo alam kung gano ko tiniis ang sarili ko. Sobrang hirap. Pero binigay ko sayo,kasi yun ang gusto mo diba?'

'No.. Wag kang maniwala sa mga lumalabas sa bibig ko. Wag kang aalis kahit ipagtabuyan kita palayo. Mag promise ka? Kahit sobrang topakin ako wag mo ko iiwan ha? Promise ka?'

'PROMISE!' he squeezed her small body.

He just says promise without fully understanding what's happenning. Gusto nya lang talagang napagaan ang nararamdaman nito.

'And promise me one thing. Walang mai-inlove.'

'I can't promise that.'

Pano ako magppromise na hindi ma-iinlove when I am already?

'Yes. You can.'

'....'

Ramdan na ramdam ni Ali ang tibok ng  puso ni Zach pero hindi ito nagsalita.

'Please Zach. You can't love me.'

'Why?'

'Because I don't know if I can love you back. Hindi ko alam kung kaya ko pa. After what happened ubos na ubos ako. And--'

'Nasaktan ka,oo. But that doesn't mean na hindi ka na magmamahal ulit. When your healed. Kapag ok ka,kaya mo na. Maghihintay ako!! he runs his fingers through her hair.

She gets up and meet his eyes.

'Ang tigas ng ulo mo noh?'

He just shrugs.

'Zach,ayaw kitang saktan.'

'Then don't!' he push her back to the bed. He now straddles at her top.

'Baby? Hayaan mo na lang ako ok? Gagawin ko ang gusto ko. Gawin mo ang gusto mo. Walang pressure. Walang demands.' he is starting to give her small kisses from her jaw,down to her neck and shoulders.

She turns her head at the side to give him easy access.

Alam na alam ni Zach ang kahinaan nya. When he's taking her this slow,she's going crazy.

'Baby?'

'Uhmm,Za-ach?' he is now down nibbling between her breast.

'I miss you God!!!'

'Ugh!!' she moans loudly as he takes her right peak,his other hand playing with the other.

It always feels like the first time. That's how good they feel towards each other. It always feels good. It always feels new.

It was there second tonight. No,the first this morning. But they still feel the longing. They just want to kiss and touch each other to cover the lost time. When it was practically  just 10 days. For both of them,it feels like months and years.

He fix the strands of her hair that covers her face.

'You're so beautiful Ali.' his voice steaming hot brings jolts inside her body,down there.

I want you Zach.

And before she say can say it out loud. He enters her.

8:37am

Zach,stands at the balcony. Andito na naman sya sa sitwasyong wala syang choice but to agree on what she wants.

I freakin' love her. And I don't want to lose her,so maghihintay na lang ako. Kung hindi man dumating e di wala.

His phone rings.

Ali.

She's deeply asleep when he left. It's already morning. Ayaw nyang i-break ang routine of not seeing each other at the morning kaya umalis na lang sya. But they were both on the same building. Ali on the 4th floor. Zach on the 5th.

Naalala ni Zach,how she offers her room to stay in last night. That was a first. They never slept at Ali's place. It's just a hotel room but still it's hers.

'Baby?'

'You're gone.' her voice low and husky.

'No. Im on my room. Umaga na. Ayoko lang--'

'I want you here.'

Napahawak si Zach sa railings ng balcony marinig nya yun. It was always,no. She never stays. They just make love at the evening then they're off at mornings. Lagi syang nagbabaka sakali na mapapayag sya to stay pero hindi nya ginagawa. And now,she want's him. There. Too see her.

'Im on my way baby! Im coming!! Eto na!!'
