Totoo na ba ito?

37 : Awkward

I woke up with Ashton's arms around me. Nakaharap ako sa kanya at malapit na malapit. I quietly observed his neck down to his chest. Mukhang mahimbing pa ang tulog niya.

Kinagat ko ang aking labi, naaalala ang mga nangyari kagabi. The soreness and exhaust I'm feeling right now convinced me it really happened. Mariin akong pumikit habang nananatili pa ring nakapirmi. Dammit. Even the small details of last night could make me feel hot this early. Especially with him being this close to me. Kaya imbes na antukin pa ay gising na gising ako.

Maingat akong gumalaw ngunit agad din siyang nagising. I cursed inwardly dahil hindi pa rin ako kumakalma. I should feel at ease today since he's here with me pero ang nangyayari ay kabaliktaran. Seriously. I am too embarrassed to even look at him in the eyes!

"Good morning..." mahinang bulong ni Ashton sa akin. Dinungaw niya ako at agad naman ang aking pag-iwas ng tingin.

"Morning," mas mahina kong sinabi.

He chuckled and pulled me closer. Kahit na mayroon na akong suot ay ramdam ko pa rin ang kung ano sa baba. His maleness was too hard against my stomach. Mas lalo akong napasinghap dahil doon. Sinubukan kong luwangan ang kanyang yakap sa akin ngunit hindi ako nagtagumpay.

He looked for my eyes. Nang magawa ito ay halos manginig ako. Gosh, Maddison. You are such a horny woman!

"Still sleepy?" Napapaos niyang tanong.

Umiling ako at tipid na ngumiti. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin. His broad shoulders blocked the sun's rays. Maliwanag na ang aking buong silid. I will never look at my room the same way again.

"I wanna stay here with you..." he whispered laggardly, making me almost dizzy. "All day, all night..."

He sensually traced my back with his fingers. Mas lalo ko siyang naramdaman. Wala sa sarili kong kinagat ang aking labi bago hawakan ang kanyang braso.

"Me, too..." marahan kong hinaplos ang kanyang braso. "But we have work."

"Work can wait," maagap niyang sinabi. "Let's just stay."

Ngumuso ako at binalingan ang aking mga daliring dahan-dahang tinatalunton ang kanyang braso. Oh, how I loved the way his veins showed up last night. Iginiya ko ang aking kamay patungo sa kanyang mukha. His mouth opened to say something ngunit agad niya rin itong isinara. I touched his strong jaw and enticing lips.

Para akong nawawala sa aking sarili. I can stare at him for days. Years, even. At hindi ako magsasawa kung ito ang bubungad sa akin kada umaga, at ang huli kong makikita tuwing gabi.

"What are you thinking?" Tanong niya. His eyes remained on me, waiting for a reaction.

Kinagat ko ang aking pang-ibabang labi at inilipat ang aking kamay sa likod ng kanyang leeg. His hair felt a bit rough and smooth at the same time. I reached his lips for a long, firm kiss. Naramdaman ko ang pagpula ng aking pisngi pagkatapos. Dammit!

Kapag ba talaga nakauna, parati mong maaalala? Is it just me or is it really natural?

Ngumuso si Ashton, nagpipigil ng ngiti. I tried my best to roll my eyes. Hinawi ko ang kanyang brasong nakapulupot sa akin bago bumangon. I stayed silent completely, hindi alam ang sasabihin. What should I say? I'm jonesing for another round?

Nakasimangot akong tumayo. I just found out that I'm only wearing a spaghetti strap and panty! Mas lalong uminit ang aking mukha.

"God, Ashton!" I shot him an irritated look. Humalakhak lamang siya sa akin.

Naglakad ako patungo sa closet, nagpapanggap na hindi naiilang. He's seen all of me. I should not be bothered, right? Nang makahanap ng shorts ay mabilis ko iyong sinuot.
