Love Me (Completed)

Chapter 47 - Someone

It wasn't just roses that greet me this morning. May isang bar ng chocolate na palagi niyang binibigay sa akin as peace offering at may isang maliit na box.

One would think the content of the box would be something fancy as it was tied with a pink ribbon. I was surpised when I opened it. Of course Sebastian would do something like this. He always give me something unexpected.

I couldn't get my mind off the content inside the box all day. Dala dala ko 'yun hanggang office because I intend to go see him later and asked him about this.

Minsan iniisip ko na baka kung ano anong pakulo ang ginagawa niya ay dahil gusto niyang pinupuntahan ko siya o baka kakaiba lang talaga ang trip niya at gusto niyang naguguluhan ako.

Hindi ko alam kung napapansin ba nila Mama ang mga padala sa akin tuwing umaga dahil wala silang sinasabi. I'm sure nakakarating 'to sa kanila because they always knew what's going on. I need to tell them about this too but before that I need to talk to Sebastian.

I don't know if going to his place than meeting outside is a good choice but I like seeing his surprise look. Isa pa hindi na siya makakapagisip ng palusot pag biglaan.

Sunod sunod at malalakas na katok ang ginawa ko sa apartment niya at automatic na tumaas ang kilay ko nang pagbuksan niya ako ay napansin kong natutulog nanaman siya.

His hair unraveled and his eyes kept blinking to adjust to the light.

"Viktoria!" Gulat na sabi niya.

Mukhang kakabukas lang niya ng ilaw sa sala at humihikab pa siya.

Seriously what is this guy doing at night? Hindi ba natutulog 'to at palaging tulog pag hapon?

"I would say good morning but it's already evening." Sarcastic kong sabi.

"Then say good evening." Sabi niya at umupo sa dulo ng sofa.

Nilabas ko ang box sa bag ko at binato sa kanya. "What is this?"

He looked at the box then at me. Tinaasan pa niya ako ng kilay at sinabing, "A key."

"And why are you giving me this?"

"It has always belonged to you." He said.

I sucked in a breath. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. He gave me the key to his apartment  and I don't know if I should accept it seeing that months ago I don't want it.

Seeing my hesitation he continued.

"It don't need to mean anything. I just thought that since mukhang napapadalas ang pagpunta mo dito I wanted you to have a key." He said and added. "More convenient for the both of us."

"Sabihin mo lang ayaw mong naiistorbo ko ang tulog mo since napapadalas ang pagtulog mo." I put emphasis on every word.

"Who is to blame? It's not my fault that a certain someone is keeping me awake at night."

So it's me who is keeping him awake at night huh? Always so smooth with his lines no wonder so many girls fight over and because of him.

I walked and sat beside him. Paharap sa kanya ako umupo at sinandal ang ulo sa kamay ko. "And who is this certain someone?"

"I believe she is beautiful. The most beautiful girl I've met."

"Hmm.." I nodded satisfactory.

"Ahhh.." He said with a hint of laughter. "And that wicked mouth of hers. Sometimes it still surprises me what comes out from that little mouth of hers you know?"

"Mean things?" I asked.

"Yes. And more."

I hid my smile and asked him to go on. He's always teasing me about my mouth. Kung hindi ako mataray then I think I would never have gotten his attention after all hindi niya makalimutan ang first meeting namin.

"But the best thing I like about her is she's brave. She know what she wants and she gets it because she will always fight for what's hers. You know what's funny? Ako ang lalaki but she always have my back. Pag may taong nagsasabi ng hindi maganda sa akin she comes to my rescue. Nagaway pa kami once because I didn't back her when she's in a fight that's because of me." Then he stared at me.

At this point pinipigilan kong hindi maiyak. Tears are pooling in my eyes when I stared back.

"There are so many things I have yet to tell her. I want her to know that I'm proud of her. Proud ako sa lahat ng ginagawa niya. Proud ako sa kung ano siya ngayon. Proud na proud, Vik."

I blinked and those tears fell. He used his thumb to wipe it away and smiled.

"I never thank her. And I want to start now." He gave me a small smile. "Thank you for everything. For fighting, for not giving up on me-- on us. Thank you for being you-- for loving me and for this chance."

"My only regret is that I let you go when you were holding on even if it hurts you. I'm sorry for hurting you, for pushing you away and for giving up."

Masaya ako pero hindi ko mapigilan hindi maiyak sa mga sinasabi niya. He meant every word and I could feel his sincerity in his words and it touched me.

Dinikit niya ang noo niya sa noo ko. "Come back to me, Viktoria."

Humiwalay ako ng konti sa kanya at nakita kong kinakabahan siya sa isasagot ko.

Ngumuso ako at kumunot ang noo ko. "I would have said yes if not for one thing."

I watched as his brows furrowed. I chuckled.

"You called me Viktoria."

Then his mouth twitched. Kung kanina naguguluhan siya now he looked amused.

"That's what I'm saying." Then his thumb brushed my mouth. "Why I love this."

Magproprotesta na sana ako pero bago ko magawa ay dinagdagan na niya ang sinabi.

"I love you, Vikvik." He leaned forward and I let him but before his mouth could touch mine I raised my hand and stopped him.

"Not so fast. Not yet."

"Remind me again why I love your mouth?" He whispered and kept murmuring something to himself.

"May sinasabi ka?"

"No, love. Ano naman sasabihin ko?"

I ignored his endearment for me and stood up. Lumipat ako ng pwesto. Umupo ako sa single couch at indian seat.

"I want you to tell me everything."
