That Summer When She Cried

That Stormy Day When He Saved Something For Himself

He spent the night on my room.

It was okay. In fact, I find it better. I'm becoming used to the feeling of sleeping beside Jeron. And when I say sleep, it was simply sleep. It always gives me comfort knowing I am held by someone who's a game changer. It's funny dahil kung sino pa yung sikat, kung sino pa yung lalaki, sya pa yung nagbago sa lahat ng bagay na pinaniwalaan ko.

He was still sleeping soundly beside me. I even heard him snoring. I took my phone out and started recording a few minutes of that sound. Maybe I can use that to blackmail him later. Papaakyatin ko sa puno.

But there are also some worries in me about what I've been doing. Kahit na sabihin natin na wala na akong balak na gumanti, I owe him that part. Gusto kong sabihin sa kanya ang nangyari but I am so scared of what he will say and what will happen.

Siguro sa ibang pagkakataon na lang.

After recording his voice, I went out of the room and headed straight to the kitchen. He loves Manang Christina's coffee kaya nagpagawa ako agad sa kanya. I was nearly done when he woke up.

"Good morning," he said and kissed my cheeks.

"How was your sleep?"

"Worth remembering," he smiled at me and I knew what was running on his mind. "Just don't do that guessing game again baby. I'm willing. At all times."

"Ikaw kasi e... Hindi ka pa nag-one step forward," I teased him.

He laughed. "Ah... So if I made another move, it would have been... You know?"

I shrugged. "You'll never know the answer since you never tried."

"Don't challenge me. I can carry you back there if I want to," he told me. "Then I will know the answer."

"There's no moon," I told him.

"But there's a song that says making love out of nothing at all," he told me.

His answer made me roar with laughter. "Kumain na tayo."

"I have something else in mind," he told me and smiled. He was staring at me, as if testing me. I knew I was blushing.

"Kumain ka na Jeron! Please! Di ko kaya yang ganyang tingin mo!" I said, laughing while covering my face.

He answered with a laugh. "I'm kidding. Let's eat."

After we had our breakfast, Jeron volunteered to wash the dishes. We still have the whole day for ourselves. He got a message from Thomas about some people looking for him because of interviews and guestings. No one knew where he was except for his family who refused to give details of his whereabouts.

"Nasa Bataan tayo kaya bahala sila. Sosolohin muna kita bago kita ishare sa lahat," I told him. We went to the beach after we changed our clothes. Like the usual, we went swimming for a few hours and walked around the area while chatting. We didn't even realize that we have walked too far dahil hindi na pamilyar sa akin yung resort na nakikita ko. We started walking back and kahit napapagod na, we continued talking about so many things. Pagdating sa resort, he let me go straight to the bathroom while he retreated to his room to do the same.

After a while, he went back to mine. Sa sobrang pagod, he lied down on my bed.

"Massage?" I offered.

"Free? Or it goes with a fee?"

"You just need to spoil me," I smiled.

"You're already spoiled so no difference," he laughed. Agad na dumapa si Jeron sa kama then I sat on his back.
