My Dear Dr. Love

Chapter 10

Kinabukasan ay maagang bumangon si Janine para mag-ayos ng mga gamit niya. They’re going back to Manila. Ngunit habang nag-aayos siya ng gamit ay napaisip siya. what happened last night was something very memorable for her. Although it didn’t happen the way it should, bumilib siya sa binata na pinigilan ang sarili sa nangyari. She thought, if it were other guys, she could’ve been raped. But Kristian, he controlled himself. Even if he wanted it, he didn’t continue. Napangiti si Janine. She touched her lips again, as if his lips were still pressed on hers. Tila ba hindi siya makaget-over sa nangyari. What happened that night, she couldn’t get it off her mind. Umupo siya sa kama at ngumiti. Para bang isa siyang high school teenager na kinikilig ngayon. She hugged the soft pillow near her. At abot tenga pa rin ang ngiti niya. She was wondering what Kristian is doing. Out of her curiosity, she went to his room.

            It wasn’t locked. She opened the door. Then he saw that man, that man who just gave her her first real kiss last night. Ang gwapo niya kahit tulog. She told herself. She wanted to approach him, hug him, and kiss him again. She promised that she’ll just stare at him. Unti-unti siyang pumasok sa kwarto ni Kristian, walking silently just so she won’t wake him up. She can hear him breathe. It’s so quiet inside. His scent, it was the same scent she smelled the night they were entwined. It was a perfect timing. He was soundly sleeping, but his manly body built is turning her on.

            Hinwakan niya ang pisngi ng binata, uttering words as if he couldn’t hear her talking. Dr. Kristian. Thank you for coming to my life. Diba sabi ko sayo, 28 years na akong nabubuhay sa mundo pero wala pang nagpaparamdam sa akin ng ganito? It’s only you. It’s only you who made me feel this way. Naaliimpungatan si Kristian. Nagulat si Janine. She was supposed to remove her hand on his face, but he held it. Janine?

            She was tensed.

            “Janine?” unti-unting dumilat si Kristian.

            “K....Kristian?”

            “What are you doing here?”

            “I’m.... I’m sorry, I just.... checked kung gising ka na,”

            “May sasabihin ka?”

            “Ah.... Wala naman... Just checking if you’re okay, I’ll.... I’ll go back to my room na. Anong oras ba tayo aalis?” tumayo siya sa kinauupuan niya.

            “Wait, wag ka muna umalis,”

            “H---ha?”

            “Wag ka muna umalis, dito ka muna, please?”

            “Bakit?”

            “I want you near me,”

            “What?”

            He grabbed her near him. They were one inch closer to each other. She can hear him breathing, and they were staring on each other’s eyes. He was attempting to kiss her again, but it was a tease.

            “Kr... Kristian...”

            “What? Your eyelash fell. Make a wish,”

            “Ano?”

            He showed her the strand of her eyelash. “Eto oh, make a wish. Kala mo hahalikan kita noh?” he laughed.

            “Nakakainis ka!” she pulled away.

            “Hey hey. I was just joking, grabe. You want me to kiss you?” pang-aasar niya.
