Crystal Mist

Chapter 14: Girlfriend

Chevelle POV

The moment I opened my eyes, I closed them again almost immediately. I felt sore all over my body!

I bit my lip to contain the soreness I'm feeling and fumbled into something hard... what is this?

Now with my eyes wide-open, I realized that it was Sir Von's chest! Memories of last night flooded right into my mind. Damn, I really did it with him, huh?

I remember that after we did it in his living room, he picked me up and put me hastily in his bed. After a few kisses, he took me again.... that's why I'm so sore everywhere.

I blushed upon remembering the memories of last night... his face catching for breath, all the new sensations I've felt... Oh my god and now, I'm cuddled right next to him.

Because I'm embarrassed, I tried to remove his arm over me but he caught my hand instead. Gising na pala siya?

"Good morning, pretty." he huskily said.

He looked at me as if he's so amused... habang ako naman ay parang pusa na nahihiya. I covered half of my face in the blanket we're sharing because I could feel that it's really red.

I can't believe that I actually slept with him!

"Why are you shy for? Hmmm?" sabi niya at tumawa ng kaonti.

He let go of his hold on me just so he can put down the part of the blanket I'm holding. When he finally saw my whole face, I averted my gaze. Nakakahiya talaga! Gusto ko nalan mabaon sa mundo.

He caressed my cheeks softly and planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

"I want every morning to be like this with you. Thank you for giving me a purpose in my life..." he said sweetly.

He looked at me intently and although I want to look away, I couldn't because of the intensity of his eyes.

"T-thank you too, Sir Von." I said awkwardly. I don't know what to say! Ugh, ang stupid ko talaga.

He let out a low chuckle and kissed me once again on my cheeks.

"Sir Von, huh? That's not what you called me last night. Call me that again." he said huskily.

I blushed and remembered how I kept on screaming 'Von' over and over again last night. Nakakahiya. He won't even let me out because he's clearly caging me here in his bed. Gusto ko tumakbo palayo at magkulong sa kwarto ko!

"V-von." I stuttered.

"Good girl. That's how you should call me, okay? Stop the formalities... especially now that you're my girlfriend." sabi niya sa isang seryosong tono.

I was a bit surprised at that. Girlfriend? It feels so warm and fuzzy. It melts my heart a bit.

"Huh!?" I said in surprised.

He smirked at me and planted soft kisses on my neck.

"I clearly confessed to you last night that I love you. I know I heard you say you love me too. There's no reason for us to not be together, right?" sabi niya.

Hindi naman ako maka-focus because he just keeps on kissing me!

"Besides... what we did last night. That's something only lovers do. Actually, it's something that what married couples do." he said softly.

Married? I haven't even thought that far! I blushed at the thought. Just a few months ago, I condemned everything about family - marriage, children, love... I didn't give a fuck about those and practically gave up on them.

But why don't I feel the same anymore? Why could I imagine myself now, experiencing all those things with him? I could imagine myself being married to him and having a few kids with him. Nakita ko kung paano niya tratuhin ang mga bata sa orphanage at sobrang maalaga niya sa mga ito. Paano pa kaya kung sarili niyang anak, hmmm?

I smiled tenderly at him.

"Fine. Girlfriend mo na ako. Boyfriend na kita." I said in the sweetest voice I could.

He looked at me tenderly before planting a kiss on my lips.

"Yes... and from now on, we'll always be together. I will never leave you, Chevelle." he said like a prayer.
