100 DAYS OF YOU (A MAYWARD STORY)

Part 66

I woke up with a very uneasy feeling. I slowly open my eyes and there I saw the most beautiful eyes one can ever imagine staring back at me.

'Good morning beautiful.' Then he smiled. His breath smelled so fresh. Baka nakapag toothbrush na ulit.

I smiled back at him. Then he gave me a peck on the lips which made me concious about my morning breath. Napatakip ako agad ng bibig and I attempted to stand up.

'Where are you going?' Tanong niya habang naka harang ang kanang braso niya sa katawan ko.

Without saying a word I gestured na sa CR ako pupunta at maghihilamos at toothbrush.

'Noooo. Don't leave! Just stay here.' At niyapos na niya ako ng tuluyan.

I tried to push Ethan pero ayaw magpatalo. With my hand covering my mouth I said 'alis ka na dyan! Magtotoothbrush akoooo! Nakakahiyaaaa!'

'I don't care how your breath smells like in the morning! I still want to kiss you!' Ethan tried to remove the hands covering my mouth.

'I don't care ka pang nalalaman samantalang ikaw naka toothbrush na! Tabi.' I tried again with all my might to push Ethan away but instead of letting go, he wrapped his right leg and right arm to lock me up and he positioned himself on top of me.

'I saiddddd...you are not leaving!' He said with emphasis.

'Galing ah. Parang hindi lasing kagabi ah. Ano walang hangover? O wala talagang kalasingang nangyari?' Hindi pa ako nalalasing ever but I am pretty sure hindi ganito ka energetic pagkagising ang mga nalalasing.

Ethan suddenly don't know what tonsay at pabaling baling ang mata sa kanan at kaliwa. 'Shhhhh. Keep quiet. You are giving me a headache.'

'Ay iba din. Biglan may headache na....Naku Ethan John. Tigil tigilan mo ko ng kaartehan mo.' Gusto ko nang maniwala na inactingan lang ako nito kagabi.

'Say it one more time please?' Pakiusap niya.

'Sabihin ulit ang alin?' I don't get what he's trying to say. Hindi ba niya nainitdihan ang sinabi ko? Masyado bang mabilis ang tagalog ko?

'My name. Say my name again. I love it when you say my name.' He's looking at me intently.

Ay hala. Nabuang na ini sya.

'C'mon Maddie. Say my name again.' He is slowly getting nearer by the second.

He first kissed my forehead. Then the tip of my button nose. Then he paused, his lips a centimeter away from mine. 'Say it.'

I can't resist his charm. I bet I'd do anything this man wants me to do. 'I love you Ethan John Barber.' Then he crossed the space separating our lips. Hindi ko na inintindi kung ano mang amoy ang lumalabas sa bibig ko, alam ko na tanggap ako ni Ethan kahit na ano pa mang amoy ko.

Ethan and I stayed that way for a while. He did not attempt any thing other than kiss me. We cuddled in bed. We spooned and I like feeling his body close to mine. Yung parang kulang ako pag wala sya?

Short after, we already heard a knock on my door.

'Maddie?! Maddie?!'

Si Mama Lydia. Ang Lola ko.

'Ngano man La?' Sagot ko habang papalapit sa pinto.

'Mag pamahaw na kamo kay maaga pa kamo malarga.' Pinagbuksan ko si Mama Lydia ng pinto.

'Cge Mama. Manaog na kami.' I kissed Mama Lydia sa cheek. Buti na lang at hindi na din sya sumilip sa loob ng kwarto ko kung hindi baka atakihin to.
