I woke up earlier that day feeling better and well rested, there were traces of light in the sky already.

I was lying on my side looking at her, and she was facing me fast asleep, our faces merely a foot apart.

Ang ganda mo Bea…

The fact didn’t escape me. Her skin was glowing, or at least the part where the rays of light can touch. Her nose was perfect, and her lips were a little bit parted, making it look sexy as hell!

My Gosh! Where are these thoughts coming from!?

Still, I thought,

It’s nice to wake up like this. I don’t know what would have happened if di ikaw ang nagbantay sa akin.

I mean other people offered na bantayan ako, specially si Miguel, pero ewan, I didn’t accept, mainly because I didn’t want anyone to see me so weak.

Pero ikaw? How do you easily make me open up to you? I wanted to say No to you staying with me, but at the same time, I've missed you terribly, so I wanted to be with you....

Hay! To much to think about this early!

Matutulog na nga lang ulit ako. So I tried to sleep again, placing back my hand comfortably around her waist.

I don’t know how many hours has passed after that. I just woke up to the sound of voices in my room. I reached out to Bea na alam kong katabi ko, but I felt no one there, so I opened my eyes to look for her. That’s when I saw her at the foot of my bed, with Miguel.

They didn’t notice na gising na ako.

“What are you doing here?” Miguel asked Bea

“Ah, wala kasing magbabantay sa kanya, so I offered.” Pa cool naman nitong sagot.

“Are you sure? Because I did offer to stay with her, and she specifically said na ayaw niyang may kasama.”

“Well, maybe she changed her mind.” Bea answered noncommittantly.

“Maybe” sagot ni Miguel, na parang hindi parin naniniwala.

“Pero kailangan bang sa tabi ka pa niya matulog? I mean, how could she rest properly if she's not comfortable in her bed?”

“Whoah!” sagot ni Bea, “What are you implying here?” medyo galit na ito.

I decided to interfere, baka mag away pa tong dalawa.

“Good morning guys.” I said loudly.

Miguel turned and was instantly at my side with his bouquet of flowers.

“Hi Ji, how are you?” he asked, concerned obvious in his voice.

“Okay na ako, I feel better.” Sagot ko naman sa kanya, before I looked at Bea, who was staring at the window.

“That's good.” He said smiling, “Here, I brought you flowers.”

“Thanks. Kanina ka pa?” I asked.

“Medyo. I came back earlier than Mom and Dad because I wanted to check on you. Buti pinapasok ako nila Capt, at pinayagang umakyat dito. Then I found you and Bea sleeping.”
