Kabanata 34
I woke up feeling the soreness in my middle. Iminulat ko ang mga mata ko and I felt Miguel's nose snuggled on the side of my neck. Ramdam ko ang kaniyang braso sa aking likuran. His other arm is on my chest. I can feel the heaviness of its weight.
He is still sleeping comfortably.
Pareho kaming natatakpan ng kumot. I smelled his hair.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil sa komportable at kapayapaang nararamdaman.
I cursed myself. Because I'm leaving after this.
I lifted his arms from my chest. But I felt his legs wrapped around my legs.
I suddenly remembered Nicho because that's his thing. His weight all on me.
I touched his muscled arm. I tried to lift it again.
"You're not going anywhere." I heard him whispered and I stiffened.
What have I done.
"You're mine already." He added.
"We should go back to Manila. Tito Nicholas is probably waiting for you." Garalgal ang aking boses.
"I informed him already. We can stay here forever." He answered. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya. Sinubukan kong bumangon dahil sa kaba. I felt his hand touched my shoulder and he pulled me back.
Sinulyapan ko iyon and I saw his tattoo. My name and his surname. It's still there. It looked fresh right now. Parang muli iyon tinintahan. Ngayon ko nalang muling nakita dahil lagi siyang may suot na relo.
Nakapatong lang ang kaniyang kamay sa aking tiyan. I can feel his pet on my legs.
"M-Miguel." I called nervously.
"Any reason will not be entertained. We are staying here as long as I want. You won't go anywhere." Pinal niyang sabi.
Bumalis ang tibok ng puso ko.
S hit. S hit. S hit.
Tinulak ko siya at nagpumilit akong tumayo.
"Ano ba, Miguel." Naiinis kong sabi.
He rosed and sat. "What?" He fired back.
"Hindi tayo pwedeng manatili rito!" I answered him habang ako ay umuupo rin. Unti-unti akong natutunaw sa ganda ng mga mata niya dahil sa kakagising niya lang. He look so dashing.
"Why fvcking not?" He asked irritatedly.
Inayos ko pa ang aking buhok dahil sa kahihiyan sa maaring itsura ngayon.
"We have to work!" I reasoned out.
"I'll pay you. Kahit magkano pa yan." He answered.
Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. He's out of his mind.
"You're mine. We'll stay here." Aniya.
Mabilis akong umalis ng kama at tumayo.
"I'm not yours." Mabilis kong sagot and I looked for my undergarments.
"You told me you love me and we made love." Marahan niyang sabi.
Hindi ko siya tinignan. I roamed around his room and I picked my clothes.
"That's because we are about to have sex." Sagot ko sakaniya.
Nagulat ako ng mabilis siyang tumayo. He's towering me.
"What the fvck are you saying?" Tila naputol ang kaniyang litid. He became the hot tempered Mr. Sandoval.
"I told you I love you because we are having sex." Simple kong sagot.

RomanceThough quiet, she leaned back with her face turned toward the sun. A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and as she did so often, she reached up and tucked few loose strands behind her ear. He watched her pull suntan lotion from her shoulder bag and rub...
