In love with you

Chapter 21

"Crazy Rude-sweet CEO"

ERICA's POV

I felt a pair of eyes looking at me as I opened my eyes. They're so lovely. Waking up in the morning has never been this warm. I felt a hand touches my face. They're adorable. I smiled and closed my eyes once more.

"Such a wonderful dream."

I want to sleep more and feel his presence in my dreams. And I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I felt his lips touches mine and kissed me passionately. It became even more stronger like he's been longing for it.

"I miss you"
I heard him said and it made my eyes opened. Little did I realized that someone is inside my room. I got-up surprised and shocked with his presence.
"Ans?"
Then I noticed, I'm inside his room already. Did he just carried me? I could've woken up I'm so stupid.
"When did you arrived? Why didn't you tell me?"
I'm pissed off but the fact that he's here already is enough. Instead of answering, he pulled me into his chest.
"I'm sorry. I was planning to surprise you but our flight got delayed. I didn't mean to make you wait this long."
I pinch his chest and I heard him ached.

"You mean three months long?"
I pouted. He's the worst!

"I'm sorry, I'm here now and you can have me all you want."
I arched my brows with doubt.

He just smiled and we both laughed. Oh how I missed this man. He's grown so matured. He's looking more of like a rude businessman right now. I'm not seeing the jolly Ans I once knew. He seems so different that even his smile feels different.
"Staring is rude Erica"
So I changed my staring eyes into rolling eyes at 360 degrees. How dare him to just show up when he wants to?

"I know you're mad. I know you've been lonely without me. And hey, I heard you met Jaz"
I arched my brows but he straightened them.

"He just dropped me off at home the other day since it was raining so hard. I just happen to see him near our building."
What's with the explanation?

"You're not supposed to have the guy who kissed you to drop you off while your boyfriend's away."
He's not kidding and I didn't feel any joke in his tone. Seriously?
"Well, too bad you were not around."
I turned my back at him and face the other side of the bed.
"What did you say?"

I felt his weight in me when he hovered his body into mine.

"I was kidding"
I turned red. It feels like these are all new to me. I also felt awkward when he shortened the distance between our face.

"Too late babe, you need punishment."

He pushed his lips in mine and savored them. I responded and we gloriously melted together. All of the longings are burning us both. I can also feel how his touch are missing me the same way as I'm missing him.

And there, all of the questions and underlying doubts were gone in an instant. I just realized I haven't changed at all. He's still the man in my dreams and I am still the bestfriend wanting all the best for him and risking everything to make him happy. Whatever happened or whatever changed he had for the last three months, I'm still holding on to the truth the I love him and will love him even more.

I was the happiest when he told me we would go visit my parents. Everyone missed him a lot especially my parents. I couldn't get any happier when he purposely showed how we've been together and that my parents might have noticed it.

"Anson anak. Oh yang kamay ng kaybigan mo ah. Kanina mo pa hawak."
Binatukan naman ni Momshie si Papsi ng mapagtanto niyang we're feeling awkward.
