We Got Married

CHAPTER NINE

CHAPTER NINE

Kinabukasan, I woke up with a semi-pounding on my head, a pair of arm wrapped around me, and a very naked Xander behind me.

I tried recollecting what happened last night. The dancing and the talking we did in the bar. Napangiti ako sa pagu-usap namin kagabi.

“You awake babe?” tanong nya sakin.

“Yeah” I answered absentmindedly.

Humarap ako sa kanya and nakita kong nakangiti siya. Hinawi nya yung buhok sa mukha ko’t hinalikan ako sa noo.

“Seryoso ka ba kagabi about everything you said or you were just that drunk?” tanong nya.

I playfully slapped his hard chest. Oh God he’s sexy.

“Ang mean mo hah. Seryoso ko kagabi noh. We even sealed that deal”

Tumawa lang siya and niyakap nya ko.

“Never leave me again Andy” bulong nya.

“Don’t make me Xander” sabi ko na lang.

Then bumitaw siya sa yakap sakin at hinawakan yung baba ko para nakatingin ako sa mga mata nya.

“I’m sorry. Dahil hindi ko sinabi yung kay Kuya. But I don’t regret doing it. And I’d do it all over again just so I could have you beside me. But nevertheless, sorry kasi naglihim ako”

“Bakit mo ba kasi tinago Xander?”

Huminga siya ng malalim. Tapos binitawan nya yung mukha ko at niyakap ako. Nakasandal ako sa dibdib nya, I can hear his heart beating.

“Kasi natakot ako na pag sinabi ko sayo balewalain mo ko. Walang may gusto na ikasal tayo, oo. Pero hindi ko pinagsisihan yun. Masaya kong kinasal ako sayo. I just don’t want you to leave me because you learned na kapatid ko si Kuya” malungkot nyang sabi.

Come to think of it. May point siya. Kung sinabi nya sakin toh noon baka wala ako sa tabi nya ngayon at hinahabol habol si Aries na pinagpalit lang ako.

“Okay I forgive you about that. I understand you. And somehow I am at fault as well. Siguro nga somehow mas mabuting di mo sakin sinabi agad. I may have overreacted a bit, but can you blame me? So, I’m sorry too”

“It’s okay. Thank you for understanding” then he kissed my head.

“But Xander you didn’t have to call me names at sabihan ako ng mga kung anu-ano” I said hurtfully.

Again pinatingin nya ko sa kanya.

“I am sorry for the things I’ve said to you last week. I was just that mad I guess. I’m also sorry for fucking someone else. Nagalit lang talaga ko nung sinabi mong di ka uuwi at makikipag-dinner ka kay Kuya so I went to the club and I got so drunk. Sorry” and he did look like he was sorry.
