Way Back To You

Chapter XXXV

Chapter XXXV

Start Over

I woke up with a heavy feeling. I don't want to open my eyes yet. Memories from last night were still fresh from my mind. It hurts. I've lost a friend but I can't be selfish. He needs to heal and I should let him do that in every way he wants.

I felt someone caressing my hair. I opened my eyes only to see Argo's god-like face in front of me.

He smiled. "Good morning." His voice is husky.

It's him.

Losing Dominic hurts like hell but seeing Argo's face first in the morning is worth the pain.

I smiled back. "Morning..."

Damn! I'm sure a mess right now dahil kagigising ko lang. Nakakahiya sa gwapong nilalang na ito!

I immediately rose from my bed and combed my hair with my fingers.

Bumaling ako sa kanya at nakita ang pagkunot ng noo. Napalitan din iyon ng ngisi tsaka pagpungay ng mga mata.

He's already wearing his office attire while I'm still here looking like a mess. What a shame!

I felt his arms around my waist. He buried his face on my neck. His hot breath is is tickling on my shoulder blades.

"Argo hindi pa ako naliligo!"

Sinubukan kong kalasin ang kamay niyang nakapulupot sa aking baywang ngunit mas lalo lamang niyang hinigpitan ang kanyang yakap.

"Ang bango mo nga, e." He said in a soft voice.

Adik!

"Che!"

He chuckled. "If you continue being mean, I'll think that you're already pregnant with me."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at uminit ang pisngi ko. Can he not talk blantantly about things like that?

"How's the talk with my enemy last night?" He asked in a baritone voice.

Bumagsak ang balikat ko. Thank you for reminding me, huh?

"I-It's fine. I-I just lost a friend, Argo." Tunog disappointed ang boses ko.

He kissed the back of my ear down to my neck.

"Don't worry miss, I'm here. You won't be needing him." Seryoso niyang sabi.

Tinampal ko ang braso niya.

Humalakhak siya and I find it sexy, damn it! I want to talk to him seriously but he keeps on alluring me.

He held my chin to make me look at him. My heart skipped a beat when our eyes met. "I'm serious, baby. It's fine. You will be fine." Malambing niyang sabi saka ako marahang hinalikan sa labi.

Being with Argo feels makes me feel full that I couldn't ask for more. We've been inseparable since we got back. Maybe because it's for us to catch up for the years that we're not together because of my stupid decisions way back. Stupid, huh? But leaving him three years ago somehow still feels right. Baka kapag hindi ko siya iniwan noon ay hindi siya magiging ganito ka-successful. Knowing Argo, his world almost revolves around me. I am his number one priority and me being a fragile woman, I might drag him down. Baka kapag nanatili kami noon ay marami siyang na-miss na oportunidad dahil sa akin. Well at least, right now, all the pain we've encountered were all worth it.
