How am I so into you? (RICCI RIVERO)

Chapter XLVII : Exposed

Z A U N E A

I woke up early probably because I wasn't in my own bed and this didn't smell like my sheets pero parang, can I take this off and take it home?

I still can't fully absorb what happened last night. I'm in his bed all night, doing something I didn't thought I would do, and with Ricci. I mean, I always imagined being his girlfriend but it wasn't as far as this.

Like any other morning after first sex, I looked under he blanket if I was still naked.

To my surprise, I wasn't. I'm wearing his La Salle jersey with my underwear. Mabuti naman. Yung iba marunong lang maghubad pero pag tapos na hindi marunong magbihis. Char.

He came inside the room with a tray of eggs and bacon.
"Buti hindi nasunog?" i started joking. "Nanood ako kay Rachel Ray" Patola naman 'to.

I started digging through the plate, I didn't realize I was so hungry before I tasted his eggs. I mean, yung niluto nya.

"Ikaw, kumain ka na?" I asked because I thought we were going to share kaya nya dinala dito pero ni hindi nya 'to hinawakan pagkatapos niyang ipatong sa kama pero tinititigan nya lang ako kanina pa.

Hindi sya sumagot. "Huy! Kinakausap kita. Ano ba iniisip mo?" I hit him lightly on his shoulder na wala paring tapis. He's just wearing his jersey shorts.

"I just can't believe you're in my clothes. " he said smiling widely.

Napairap nalang ako sa kanya sa kilig.

Pero teka, binihisan nya ba ko kagabi o ngayon nang umaga?

Nanlaki yung mata ko sa mga iniisip ko at napansin nya na ata yun.

"Nakita ko na, ang liwanag kaya. " he said and glanced at the tied curtains

Shit.

*ring ring*

Mabuti nalang dun sya napatingin at di nya na nakita yung paginit ng mga pisngi ko.

It's his phone again, on top of the bed side table.

Akala ko sasagutin nya na, knowing Ricci, he's high in demand pero he just watched it ring.

"Bakit di mo sagutin?" I asked, napatigil ako sa pag kain.

"I don't think I'm ready yet. " he said plainly.

"Bakit? Sino ba yan?"

He reached for it and handed it to me. It's his manager with 7 missed calls since last night.

"Parang tatay mo na rin kaya yan. He would know what to do. " I encouraged him cupping his face.

Ngumiti lang sya sa'kin. Okay lang naman. No pressure on him. I know God has a plan for him. May rason kung bakit ganito.

I dressed up in my own clothes kasi I have to go home na sa Novaliches. Matagal tagal na rin akong kinukulit nila Papa tungkol sa business ko. May mga umoorder daw kasi dun samin banda kaso hindi naman kami magkapareho ng recipe ni Mama so kailangan ko pa syang turuan.

"Sure ka ayaw mo magpahatid?" He said while helping me dress up in my own clothes.

"Nako! Wag mo na ko alalahanin. You have things to deal with, so do I. " sabi ko habang sinisintas nya yung sapatos ko.

He stood up and checked me one last time, I smiled thanking him.

His eyes darted somewhere on my collar bones. I looked at it quickly pero wala naman akong nakikitang kakaiba.
