rj stirred and reached for the bundle he had been hugging in his sleep, but his arms fell on the soft pillow, he jolted from the bed and started looking while calling her name

he's mind was now pleading. 'maine please.... you don't get to leave me. you don't get to walk away'.he made his way outside scanning the surrounding but there's no sign of her. 'where could you be. nasan ka bie. wag naman ganito'. he suddenly felt lost. his mind is in overdrive. he needed to call lester. he was half-walking half-running making his way back to their room to get his phone.  when suddenly a small frame bumped on his chest -

sorry

sorry

both of them said the same time. it happened too fast. maine found herself suddenly engulfed in his embrace.

hey anong--

don't do that again...

huh? wha--

you scared me. kala ko umalis ka

hey stop... bumili lang ako ng breakfast. masarap kasi yung tulog mo kaya hindi na kita ginising. sorry

it's ok now. sorry i panicked. paggising ko kasi wala ka na sa tabi ko

shhh... ok na po. halika na sa loob. kain na tayo ng breakfast mag-check out pa tayo by 11

they made their way back to the room and ate their breakfast with rj feeding maine her sandwich. and oh if you look closely, he did not let go of her hand the entire time they were eating.

rj, may couch di ba? tapos may lazy boy, may dalawa ding chairs dun sa may coffee table. bakit kelangan dito ako umupo?

ayaw mo ba?

ayan na naman po tayo sa mga tanong mo eh.

try to answer bie. ayaw mo ba maupo sa lap ko?

rj...

did i ask you my name? bakit rj ang sagot

ano ba

ano nga? ayaw mo ba kasi?

naman eh

bakit ba hindi ka makasagot

hindi na ko magsasalita. sige na. ayan dito na nga ako oh. wag na magtanong

she pouted which he found adorable. oh how he missed his baby. he hugged her waist and snuggled his nose on the crook of her neck.

tama na. wag ka magtampo. naglalambing lang ako. sobra kaya kitang na-miss....

ang bully mo kasi eh

hindi na nga. ayan oh behave na po ako.

hindi pa ba tayo maliligo?

gusto mo na ba?

he wiggled his brows and grinned making her slap his arm.

ano ka ba!! ang aga-aga tisoy ah!

ano bang sinabi ko? tinanong ko lang kung gusto mo na maligo what's wrong with that. ano ba iniisip mo

kilala kita! wag ka nga!

ok. so ano nga iniisi-

STOOPPPP! my god richard!

you want me to stop?

RICHARD FAULKERSON JR.!

yes? baby?

he snuggled a little bit more, inhaling her scent sending shivers to her spine. he placed chaste kisses on her neck and jaw, she gasped when his lips touched her skin then he heard her moan

you want me to stop?

he continued his ministrations. he swiped her hair on the left exposing her right shoulders, he started kissing her shoulders making her move her hand to his hair lightly tugging it.

rj....

maine....

uhhh... bu....

yes.... bie

he now moved to her collar bones and started nibbling

ahhh.... ri...ch...ard...

yes. do you want me to stop?

uhh.... r...j....

he placed his hand on her tummy where he's now drawing circles. her heart is now beating erratically. her breathing heavier.

tell me bie... do... you... want... me... to... stop?

his eyes locked on hers. a kiss for every word.

i... i.... r...j...

should i stop?

she can't do this anymore. he's torturing her. a sweet kind though. so she gave up. damn these hormones. she grabbed his face, moved her lips to give him a searing liplock. he did not expect her move, he was surprised but the sweetness of finally kissing her again crept in his bones. he deepened the kiss making her moan sexily. her hands moved to his broad chest causing him to groan. she moved her legs and straddled him making all his blood rush south. suddenly they stopped, both of them needing air to breathe. rj moved his forehead to hers, closed his eyes and whispered

i can't let you go. i love you maine

rj....

come back bie.... come home to me....

she held her cheeks and place a kiss on her nose. she let out a deep sigh and looked him in the eye.

i want to.... i really do.... but i don't know how
