Umupo siya sa kama at pinagmasadang mabuti si Zach. Tapos sinalat niya ang noo nito, medyo bumaba na ang lagnat nito. Hinaplos niya ang mukha nito.
Naramdaman ni Zach na may humahaplos sa mukha niya kaya iminulat niya ang mga mata. Nabungaran niya si Stacey. "Uhmm... Stacey?" he's a bit confused. Babangon sana siya ngunit pinigil siya ni Stacey. "Wag ka munang bumangon Zach. You need to rest" sabi ni Stacey at sumunod naman siya. "Teka lang kukuha lang ako ng gamot" sabi niya at tumayo. Kumuha siya ng gamot sa first aid kit at pagkatapos binalikan si Zach. "Here, you need to drink this" sabi niya sabay abot kay Zach ng gamot. Inalalayan niya itong makaupo at makasandal sa headboard. Tapos inabot niya ang isang basong tubig. Ininom na ni Zach ang gamot. "Thanks" sabi ni Zach sabay lagay ng baso sa bedside table. "Kukuha lang ako ng pagkain" paalam niya. Tumango lang si Zach. Lumabas na siya sa kwarto at nagpunta sa kitchen.
"Manang, naluto na po ba yung porridge?" tanong niya sa katulong nila. "Oo hija, luto na. Teka lang at maghahain ako" sabi nito at akmang kukuha ng bowl ngunit pinigil niya ito. "Ako na ho manang" sabi niya at kumuha ng bowl. Tapos nilagyan na niya iyon ng porridge. Nagslice din siya ng mga prutas. Tulad ng apple at strawberry. Tapos kumuha din siya ng tubig. Inilagay niya ang mga iyon sa tray at bumalik na sa kwarto.
Inilapag niya ang tray sa bedside table. "Kain ka muna" sabi niya at sinubuan si Zach ng porridge. Tapos mga fruits naman. "Why are you doing this?" tanong ni Zach nang matapos itong kumain. "Cause I still care for you" she said and look at him straight in the eyes. Zach was startled. He doesn't expect that Stacey still cares for him for he knew he has caused her so much pain. "Hey, Zach!" untag ni Stacey kay Zach. Di na kasi ito umimik. "I just can't believe what I just heard" sabi ni Zach. "I forgive you Zach. I'll forget what you did" sabi niya. Nagliwanag ang mukha ni Zach. Napaupo ito ng diretso. Tila ba nawala ang lagnat nito at sumiglang muli. "Is that means--" di na nito naituloy ang dapat na sasabihin dahil sakop na ni Stacey ang mga labi nito. "I miss you sweetie! And I still want to marry you" nakangiting sabi niya nang maghiwalay ang mga labi nila "Sweetie! Thank you for giving me a second chance. I love you so much. Thought that I'd lost you forever. Promise, I will not hurt you again" sabi ni Zach at niyakap siya. They went like that for a while before they let go of eachother. "Di ba ngayon ang opening ng firm? Ba't di ka pa naghahanda?" tanong ni Zach. "Eh pano kasi, may isa kasi diyang nabaliw at sa labas natulog kaya nilagnat. Kaya di na ako pupunta dun" sabi ni Stacey na may halong biro. "Eh kung di pa ako nagpakabaliw at nilagnat, di mo pa rin ako papatawarin" sagot ni Zach. "Sus, papansin ka lang eh" sabi niya sabay kurot sa tagiliran nito. "Aray! Masakit yun ah! Teka, di ka ba talaga pupunta sa opening?" tanong uli ni Zach. "Di nga sabi. Tatawagan ko na lang si Jaycee para sabihing di ako makakapunta" sagot niya. "No, you should go. I know it's important to you" giit ni Zach. "Nah, you're more important than the firm" sabi niya. "Ang sarap naman nung pakinggan, pa kiss nga" lambing ni Zach na pinagbigyan naman niya. At first, it was a gentle kiss. Then it went deeper. They're kissing hungrily as if they have not seen eachother for a long time.
--------SPG scene ng konti, hehe ;)----------
Di pa nakuntento si Zach at bumaba ang halik nito sa leeg niya. His hand is stroking her back while the other slid inside her t-shirt. She didn't even notice that he has unhooked her bra and it fell on the bed. Zach's massaging her other breast. Itinaas ni Zach ang t-shirt niya at tinanggal iyon. He stared at those proud mountains. "You're so beautiful sweetie" sabi ni Zach and suck one of it and his other hand is massaging the other one. Stacey felt an unkown sensation that pleasures her. Zach guided her to lay on the bed. He's now on top of her. His free hand leaned on the bed to support his weight. Zach's other hand left her breast and felt that it is pulling off her cotton shorts. She arched her body to make it easy for him to pull off her shorts. Now, the only clothing left on her is her sexy pink undies.
"Do you really want this? I mean, you can stop me if you don't want to" Zach said while staring at her. "Yes sweetie. I'm all yours now" she answered and smiled. Zach kissed her again. From her lips, down to her neck and to her tummy. His hand is tracing and caressing the curves of her body. Then she felt Zach bit her undies and pulled it off. After it, Zach deflowered her. They made love.
"No regrets sweetie?" tanong ni Zach. They're now lying on the bed. Facing eachother and hugging. "Why would I be? I'm so happy" sagot niya. "I'm so happy too" Zach said and kissed her on the tip of her nose. They are just contented in hugging eachother, feeling the closeness. Then suddenly, Stacey's phone rings. Zach picked it up from the bedside table and handed it over to her. Stacey saw that it is Jaycee who's calling. "Jaycee, I forgot to call you" bungad niya nang sinagot niya ang tawag. "I can't attend for the opening. Something came up" she continued. "What is it? Ok, it's fine. I'll take care of the firm" Jaycee assured. "Thank you so much Jaycee. I have to hang up now. Bye" paalam niya rito. "Ok. Bye" then she tap the end icon. Ibinalik niya ang phone sa bedside table.
