#MT22
I woke up feeling light hearted even though I felt a heavy arm on my back, I covered my yawn as I look up at my bed. I already felt there was someone who carried me up earlier but I was too sleepy. Sigurado naman akong si Horace lang iyon, siya lang naman siguro ang may susi ng pinto nito kaya confident na pinadouble lock.
I wasn't wrong when I saw his slumbering face in peace at this moment, it's the first time he looks so innocent and inactive. His red lips were slightly opened, lashes on natural curls and closed eyes. I smiled while tracing his face, his arm was on my back and the other arm was behind his head to be a pillow. He's wearing a black button down shirt, some buttons were already off.
He looked tired, really. I guess he had a rough day out while arranging his papers for work. I took a quiet breath and bowed my head to sniff on his chest, I giggled a bit. So this man doesn't really know how to smell bad even after a rough day outside with polluted air and heated afternoon, mabango pa rin talaga.
A gentle grouse slipped out his lips, I felt his breath on my hair. Tiningala ko siya para panoorin dahil alam kong naalimpungatan na rin siya, he slowly opened his right eye as his lips separated more to breathe. Nagtaas siya ng kilay nang makita ako, I smiled.
"Kumain ka na?" tanong ko.
Umangat ang braso niya mula sa likuran ko para tingnan ang wristwatch, kumunot ang kilay niya dahil sa bahagyang silaw. He shook his head.
"Not yet... and you didn't have lunch here. What did I remind you before sleeping?" he grumbled with forehead creased, bahagya siyang umangat sa armrest at doon umunan habang ang isang kamay ay humawak sa gilid ng leeg upang mag-unat sa pangangalay niya.
He looks so handsome after a nap, his cheeks were ruddy, seemingly from the heat he went through.
I shrugged and sat up on his abdomen, I fixed my hair up as I felt his hand holding my right thigh while stretching his neck slightly and wacthing me. My heart is drubbing so fast but it's normal when he's around, I'm used to it. It feels like a normal heartbeat that just got intense for him.
Kinuha ko ang cellphone sa lamesita, bumalik din sa kanyang matigas na tiyan at mabilis kong tinapat ang camera sa kanya para kunan siya ng litrato sa ganoong inosenteng itsura. His brows furrowed but didn't protest, he looked confused for some reason.
"Is it for a project?" he chuckled huskily.
I grinned scornfully.
"Kapal mo para mailagay sa project!" I shrugged. "Minsan ka lang mukhang mabuting tao, just wanna have a copy. Madalas kang mukhang siraulo at... hudas." Humalakhak ako.
His eyes squinted, kunwaring nalaglag ang panga niya at matalim akong tiningnan, napatili ako nang pisilin niya ng madiin ang hita ko kung saan nakakakiliti.
"Ganoon, teacher?"
He squeezed my thigh again that made me plunge with a shriek of laugh, I covered my mouth instantly to stop my crack up. Mabilis akong nagpahulog sa sahig para maiwasan siya pero mas mabilis niya rin akong hinila ulit para lalong kilitiin.
"Ah!" I squealed and hit him repeatedly while he's just laughing. "Horace! Tigil! Isa!" panay ang saway ko sa kanya at paninigaw pero napupuno ako ng pagtawa.
"Where's the baby you're calling me?" he asked in a fake sad voice, then started tickling me again.
Hingal na hingal ako sa pagtawa at pilit na pagpiglas mula sa kanya, I'm a big girl but can't really overpower a man like him in this kind of position. Umiinit na ang mukha ko sa kakatawa at hingal, I hit him again and held on his chest.
