Tears Of An Angel

Chapter 35

Chapter 35: "There were miracles in your kisses. They were medicine to my veins."

After having dinner, Vince went to his office and immersed himself in work. Instead of going to our bedroom, I plopped down on the sofa and just checked out my facebook which I hadn't opened for some time. Not a minute longer, I was already giggling over some funny videos on facebook.

 "What are you watching?"

Bahagya pa akong nagulat ng malingunan si Vince sa likod ng sofa. Bahagyang kunot ang noo niya habang nakapamulsang nakatingin sa phone ko. 

"Some funny videos on facebook."

He just nodded. "Let's sleep."

"Una ka na. Sunod na lang ako."

"All right." Yumuko siya at hinalikan ako sa noo. "Don't take too long."

"Yes," I said. "Good night. I love you."

He smiled softly. "I love you." He leaned down again and planted a lingering, soft kiss on my lips.

Pagkapanhik ni Vince ay humiga pa ako sa sofa habang nagfe-facebook. Muling bumaba si Vince pagkatapos ng kalahating oras. Basa pa ang buhok niya at amoy na amoy ko ang sabon na ginamit niya. 

"Aren't you sleeping yet?" 

"Later."

He breathed out then sat down on the sofa. Kaya bahagya pa akong umisod para makaupo siya. He turned on the TV, but he just kept changing the station. He breathed out harshly then turned it off. 

"Angel." I just made a sound as a response. "Let's go to our room. I'm sleepy."

"Sunod na lang ako." Tinatamad pa kasi akong tumayo.

He sighed. "Come on. I wanna sleep and lie down beside you," parang batang ungot niya sabay yakap sa beywang ko.

Napangiti na lang ako at nagpahila na lang sa kanya papunta sa kwarto namin. Magkatabi kaming nahiga sa kama. Vince couldn't sleep without his arms wrapped around my body. Nasanay na rin ako. Siniksik pa niya ang mukha sa leeg ko. Hinayaan ko lang siya at ipinag-patuloy ang panonood ng videos. Pinipigilan kong matawa ng malakas para hindi ko maistorbo si Vince.

"Angel."

"Hmm?"

"Kiss me"

Nakangiting nilinga ko siya. Hinaplos ko ang mukha niya at saka siya dinampian ng halik sa labi. Para siyang batang nabigyan ng candy sa laki ng ngiti niya. Bumalik na ulit ako sa pinapanood pero muli niyang kinuha ang atensiyon ko. 

"Kiss me again." He even pouted his lips.

"Cute," I said, giggling while pinching his cheek. Dalawang beses ko siyang dinampian ng halik. "Good night."

"Good night." He planted a quick kiss on my lips.

Bumalik na ako sa panonood pero hindi nagtagal ay nawala iyon sa kamay ko. Nagtatakang tumingin ako sa hindi maipintang mukha ni Vince. 

"Bakit?"

"No phones when we're together. No social media or anything. I want all your attention. Just focus on me." 

I woke up in the wee hours of the morning with Vince caressing my face. He was sitting on the edge of our bed, staring at me.
