Pakiramdam ko lumulundag ang puso ko sa sobrang saya. Parang isang panaginip ang nangyari.

Ako at si Lexie.

I was never expected that we will end up in bed. I am her first. At isa yong karangalan para sa akin. The fact that this woman I love the most is pure and only mine.

Yes. I claimed her mine.

Mula pa noon. At sa nangyari sa amin ngayon, I'll make sure that I am also her last.

A hint of a smile swung onto my face, habang pinagmamasdan ko siya habang natutulog. Her hand curled underneath her chin and her body on display. I was about to pull the covers over her when my eyes were drawn to her stomach, which was so flat it indented beneath her ribcage and gave her a sickly look. I frowned at her as I watched her ribcage move.

Something was going on with her. And if it killed me, I would find out what it was.

Ako ang naunang nagising, kumakalam na ang sikmura ko at I'm sure that Lexie was also hungry. Nagpasya akong tignan ang ref ko baka sakaling may maluto ako para makakain kami once she was awake.

A few minutes had passed at tapos na akong mag prepare ng food. Brunch na ito coz it's almost lunchtime. I figured Lexie would be up by the time I finished cooking, pero tulog pa din siya.

I walked by the bed and glanced at Lexie, nakadapa ito at hantad ang bareback nito. Pero napatitig ako sa bandang ibabang bahagi ng likod niya, just to saw her back covered in big, ugly bruises that turned her skin nearly purple. Maingat akong umupo para hindi siya magising. I gently trailed my hand down her back.

What the hell?!

Are these from her fall last night? What is going on? I didn't wake her, instead, I went to the shower and pulled out clean clothes to wear.

Ano ang inililihim sa akin ni Lexie?

Hindi ako tanga para hindi maisip ang biglang pag babago ng kinikilos niya, pati ng nararamdaman niya. Ayoko naman siyang tanungin dahil alam kong hindi siya magsasabi ng totoo sa akin. Lexie rolled over and stretched just I pulled my jeans up. I left the button undone and smiled at her.

Bruises or not, she was gorgeous.

Her shoulder-length hair was wild and unruly across the pillow and she shyly pulled the sheet over herself while smiling seductively at me.

"You should come back to bed," she mumbled, still half-asleep. Magpapadala na sana ako sa paanyaya niya sa akin ng maalala kong may schedule operation pala ako and I also remembered the bruises.

I shook my head at her. I didn't want to hurt her anymore.

"May scheduled akong operation," I muttered, habang inaayos ko ang yellow Fred Perry polo shirt ko, match ito sa faded jeans ko.

Lexie sat up, letting the sheet fall to her waist. She leaned back on the headrest of the bed, smiling very seductive. Ibang-iba siya ngayon kung umasta.

I walked over to the edge of the bed and leaned down to kiss her gently. Agad naman niyang sinagot ang mga halik ko habang ipinulupot niya ang mga kamay niya sa batok ko and pulled me down onto the bed. Naging maingat akong huwag ibigay ang buong bigat ko sa kanya. Pero unti-unti na din akong nalalango sa kanya when her tongue probed my mouth. I tipped her head back and kissed her throat. Her moans distracted me and she tugged my pants down when my mouth skimmed over the discolored skin on her shoulder.
