Love On Fire (Fire Series #1)

Kabanata 37

Hinila ako ng pagkamulat ko nang may naramdaman akong pagdampi sa aking labi. I immediately caught him in front of me kissing me repeated times.

Hinawi niya ang ilang hibla ng aking buhok at mas lalo itong lumapit. He kissed my forehead, my jaw down to my neck and lastly to my lips. He bit it and nibbled it like a soft candy.

"I miss you..fucking miss you, Laurena." I smiled.

We are finally here for good.

"You won't leave me?"

He stared at me and flashed an alluring smile.

"Nope. Kailan ba kita iniwan, Esguerra?" mahinang tanong niya pero sapat na para marinig ng puso ko. Mas lalo akong lumapit sa kanya at isinabit ang kamay ko sa balikat niya.

"Wag mo akong iwan ha.." I said almost a whisper and closed my eyes.

I stretched my arm and yawned as I get up from my bed. Bed? Kumunot ang noo ko. Where the hell I am?

I stood up and roamed around the bedroom. The interior is quite familiar. Wait. Am I in his room?

Sa pagkakatanda ko nasa airport kami. I ran downstairs and there I caught him at the kitchen preparing the table with only boxers. Tangina! Umagang umaga, ang sarap ng almusal.

How did I end up here? 

Nakita niya naman ako. Agad akong yumakap patagilid sa kanya.

"Tell me this is not a dream, right?" tanong niyang nang nakatitig sa akin. 

He gently caressed my hair. Inilagay ko ang aking baba sa kanyang dibdib. He kissed the top of my head.

"No. I'm here." pagkukumbinsi ko.  I drew a smile as I hugged him tightly.

"Let's eat." I nodded. Pinaupo naman niya ako. Nakita ko ang sinigang na baboy sa harap niya. Hindi pa rin mapawi ang ngiti sa aking labi.

"Why are you smiling?" tanong niya nang binalingan niya ako ng tingin.

"Ha?" takang tanong ko. 

"You're still mesmerized by me huh?"

"What? Ang kapal!"

"Sabihin mo lang alam ko namang gwapong gwapo ka sa 'kin highschool pa lang tayo," kumento niya. Uminom naman ako ng tubig.

"Ang hangin," I mumbled. How I miss this conversation. When all we usually do is tease each other at ako naman naasar lagi sa kanya.

"How did we get here?"

"I drove you here." Prente niyang sagot. I rolled my eyes.

"I mean, bakit pala tayo dito pumunta?"

"Tintatanong pa ba 'yan, Esguerra?" I frowned.

"Para walang istorbo." My eyes widened with that playful statement.

"Di ka na tutuloy sa flight mo?" His gaze narrowed.

"Hindi na. I cancelled it a while ago."

"Bakit?"

"You're more important than anything, Esguerra. Remember that."

We were quitely sitting at the couch embracing each other's warmth.

"I have plans on locking you up here in my room forever." He said with a husky voice. I gasped when he nibbled my ear.

"Padua!" He let out a soft chuckle.

"Oh god, I miss this.."

"Yeah."

"Sa lahat ng pinagdaanan natin, ngayon ko mas napagtanto na tayo pa rin talaga." Napalingon naman siya agad sa akin.
