Unwritten (Summer Of Taking Chances Sequel)

The Cure

PRIS

Dominique had been testing Pris' patience. It was taking all of her strength to control herself from kissing Dominique, who was peacefully sleeping while snuggling with her. She could smell her shampoo and her Very Sexy perfume. Her nearness drove her crazy. She'd been surprisingly affectionate towards her. Pris had always yearned to touch her. Feel her skin against her.

Nagugulat sya sa mga ikinikilos nito. Hinahayaang lang sya nitong hawakan ang kamay nito. Pumayag din itong sumama sa kanya kahit hindi nito alam kung saan nya dadalhin. They've been snuggling since last night. She knew that Dominique was still confused. Kaya ayaw nyang pagsamantalahan ito. Makokontento na lang muna sya sa ganito. Kailangan lang nyang tatagan ang sarili at magtimpi. She almost kissed her earlier. She had to be careful around her. Baka lumayo ito sa kanya.

It's obvious that Dominique loved her but she's still in denial. There's also Vincent. Hindi daw nya ito boyfriend but why did they kissed? Maybe Dominique's torn between them. Kristine and Jessica were right. It's time for her to make Dominique see that she's the one she loved. Even if she's a girl, she'd make her realized, that she was the one for her.

She had to thank her friends. Kung hindi dahil sa kanila, hindi sila magkasama ni Dominique ngayon. But she'd still strangle Kristine once she got back. Pinagselos sya nito and she acted stupid infront of Dominique. Nakakahiya tuloy.

Napapikit sya nang gumalaw si Dominique at lalong sumiksik sa kanya. Her face was turn upward and her lips grazed Pris' jaw. Lumakas ang tibok ng puso nya. She's tempted to kiss her lips. "Patience is not a virtue. It's a talent," Pris thought. "And now I'm not sure if I'm talented with it."

She sighed in frustration. Hindi tuloy sya makatulog. Her senses couldn't ignore the beautiful woman by her side especially when Dominique unconsciously slipped her hand inside Pris' shirt and rubbed her scar with her thumb. Hindi nya magawang tanggalin at baka magising ito. Lagi itong ginagawa ni Dominique unconsciously sa tuwing magkatabi silang natutulog noon. Kahit nakalimutan sya nito, it seemed that Dominique's body remembered Pris. Pilit nyang pinakalma ang nagwawala nyang puso. She could feel electricity travelled through her body. She'd die of heart attack any moment.

Nagkasya na lang syang halikan nang marahan ang noo nito. Ilang sandali lang at kumalma na rin ang tibok ng puso nya. Ipinikit na lamang nya ang mga mata at maya-maya'y nakatulog na rin.

Nagising si Pris pagkatapos ng ilang oras. 1:30PM ayun sa maliit na wallclock ng kwarto. Nakatulog din sya ng matagal. Nakayakap pa rin sa kanya si Dominique at himbing pa rin ang tulog. Hindi nya mapigilang humanga sa kagandahan nito. "I wish you're mine again," she thought longingly. Unti-unting nagmulat ng mga mata nya si Dominique. Their eyes locked and smiled at each other.

"Did you sleep?" tanong nito at inaantok pa.

"I did," Pris managed to say. Her heart started beating fast again because Dominique's gently rubbing her scar again.

"Ano palang kailangan nung Bitoy na yun?"

Natawa si Pris dahil nakakunot ang noo nito. "He gave us fresh squid and fish. Ipaluto natin kay Aling Minda. Pang-dinner natin."

"Huwag kang magpapaligaw dun ah," parang bata nitong sabi at pumikit muli.

Lalong natawa si Pris. "Niloloko lang ako nun. He knows my preference. Anak yun ni Aling Minda. Sila ang nag-aasikaso pag may tour ang Trinity dito. Sila ang may-ari nitong kubo natin. Sa bayan sila nakatira pero pumupunta si Aling Minda dito kapag may mga turista kaming dala o kapag nandito ako."

Hindi nagsalita si Dominique. Akala ni Pris nakatulog na ulit ito. "Basta. Di ka pwedeng magpaligaw dun," maya-maya sabi nito.

"So...pwedeng manligaw yung iba?"
