Eh Yung Hindi Naman Tayo? DATI (COMPLETED)

Welcome Home - 1

September 7, 12:00mn:

It's been thirty minutes since your last message saying you already landed and heading out the airport to go home to Laguna.

I just stepped out of the shower that time, getting dressed, in case you think about seeing me before going home. My heart sank when I read your message but I understand you need to be with your family. They miss you as much as I do.

I spent fifteen minutes after that just staring at my phone and thinking if I should drive to Laguna to see you. I miss you so much but I know you must be jet lagged and need your rest so I decided (very reluctantly) not to go.

I sit in front of my vanity mirror, put on my favorite character headband and start my nightly skin regimen. Cleanser. Toner. Moisturizer.

After that, I change out of my in-case-I-have-a-guest shirt and denim shorts and slip into my favorite sleepwear, a pair of skintight satin tank top and short shorts.

"Itutulog ko na lang baka dumating na naman ng maaga si RJ bukas." I tell myself as I lie in bed and pull the blanket up to my chest.

Before I close my eyes, I type a short message to you.

Goodnight, Love. Rest well. Hope to see you tomorrow before we leave for Baguio. I love you.

And send.

My eyes widen when I hear a beep outside my door.

"What the... No..."

I type another message.

I miss you.

Send.

I jolt up when I hear another beep and it sounds closer to my door. I stand up and press my ear to the wooden surface, making sure I am hearing things right.

I type again.

Tulog ka na ba?

Send.

There it is again! A beep! Just outside my door. Loud and clear!

I immediately open the door and there you are in the middle of typing a response to my message.

"RJ!" I exclaim as soon as I see you and you look up to face me with a wide grin on your face.

"Surprise!" You beam but your smile quickly fades and you turn around. "Susmaryosep, Love! What are you wearing? Magdamit ka nga!"

"Nakadamit naman ako." I say and walk over to you. I slip a hand on your shoulder and I feel your muscles tense. "Harap ka naman. Miss na miss kaya kita."

"Meng, utang na loob. Magbihis ka muna." You say clenching your fists. "The last thing I want is to go from Paris to the French guillotine when your Tatay chops off my head."

"Hmp! Ang arte-arte! Hindi naman kasi dapat ganito ang suot ko kung di ka nag-drama na bukas ka pa pupunta dito! Patulog na ako eh tapos lilitaw ka bigla dito. Tapos ngayon magrereklamo ka sa suot ko. Ewan ko sa'yo! Ang labo mo!" I stomp my feet and turn to my door, marching with my arms across my chest.

I hear you exhale sharply then feel your hand on my elbow. Before I can say anything, you spin me around to face you then pull me in your arms. You hold me tight and nuzzle in my hair as I wrap my arms around you and snuggle on your chest.

"I miss you so much." You whisper and pull me closer. "I'm sorry. Nagpaka-manong na naman ako imbes na unahin kong maglambing sa'yo. Takot kasi ako."

"Kay Tatay?"

"Hindi. Sa sarili ko. I don't know how much I can control myself anymore specially when I missed you so much and specially when you're looking like this." You sigh. "I love you so much."

"I love you too. I'm sorry din. I should have been more understanding." I sigh and kiss your shoulder. "So? How's this going for you?"

I hear another deep sigh and a guttural groan. "Ang hirap. Sobrang hirap. Magbihis ka na please." You say and kiss my temple.

"Halata." I giggle. "Kailangan mo mag-CR? Cold shower?"

"Shit!" I hear you mutter before pushing me away and running towards the bathroom down the hall while I laugh.

You look over your shoulder and say. "Bihis ka na, Love. I'm taking you out on a date."

"Date? Anong oras na? May bukas pa ba ng ganitong oras?"

You smile. "You'll see."
