Chapter 30 - Ang Kasal

May parteng nanghihinayang sa akin dahil halos buong buhay kong pinigilan ang sarili kong magmahal. I never knew that that would be too good. That it will literally make you feel like you're floating.

There was too much love running in my system that I feel like I will throw up rainbows and hearts. I was so so high up in the air that I was so afraid of crashing down and wake up from this dreamy feeling.

But taking this risk for Noah will be so worth it. He is worth it.

"Do you have work?" Noah asked, his breath were fanning my head. Nakapatong kasi ang baba niya sa aking ulo. We were comfortably cuddling in my bed after a 'morning workout'.

"Yeah, but I will go to office after lunch. I'm finishing a gown for a VIP," I answered, my head was resting on his hard chest but it's the place I would rather be all the time.

"Can we—"

"No. No procrastinating today baby." Agad kong agap dahil alam ko na namang di niya ako papapasukin at magstay na lamang.

"Why? We've not been together for a week! I miss you terribly!" Madramang saad nito at lumayo sa akin. Bumangon siya at sumandal sa headboard nang nakanguso ang mapupulang labi.

I chuckled. He was too cute! Ang laki niyang lalaki kung makaarte akala mong bata na hindi napagbigyan sa gusto niya.

Bumangon rin ako at hinalikan siya ng mabilis at madiin.

"As much as I want to cuddle with here all day, I gotta make a living." Tatayo na sana ako pero bigla akong may naalala.

Nanliit agad ang mga mata ko sa kanya at agad nag-init ang ulo ko.

"You told Scarlet!" Bulalas ko. It doesn't hurt that much like the first time I found that out but sure as well was I angry.

Kung kanina ay todo pagpapacute siya ngayon ay naalerto ang kanyang mukha na tila may naalala.

"Well baby," bwelo niya at agad na kinuha ang dalawang kamay. He caressed it so gently, it was tickling me.

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. No matter what his explanation would be, my love for was too strong that I would accept it wholeheartedly. Ayoko lang ipakita na patay na patay ako sa kanya 'no!

"I was too down and hurt after the last time we talked... Scarlet is I think the only person I can open up to..." I saw how he struggled to pick his word gently so it wouldn't hurt me. It didn't but it sting for a bit. She was still his ex. Sobrang allergic pa naman ang present girlfriend sa ex.

"Don't you have any friends?" nagtatampong saad ko. Inirapan ko siya at sumandal sa headboard.

Tumawa siya ng mahina. "Girls always manage to turn the table all the time. Kanina ako 'yung nagtatampo, ngayon naman ikaw."

Lalong kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. "Aba't anong—"

Bigla niya akong niyakap kaya napahinto ako sa sasabihin ko. He put his head on my chest. Sumiksik siya sa akin na parang bata.

"I know Scarlet is my ex but I trusted her. So it was easier for me to open up to her. I was about to go crazy with all of the pent up emotions in my gut and all the thought running in my head. I needed to let it all out. So I'm so if that upset you..."

I sighed.

Jealousy was starting to creep up in my head but I immediately put it to end. She is his past. I should accept the fact that they spent time together and they loved each other before.

"It did upset me. Big time." I admitted and my heart throbbed.

He tightened his arm around me.
