The Mayor's Girl

chapter 11

May nagdoorbell. Ang aga aga pa ah? It's like 5:30am tsaka sino naman pupunta dito? Baka sina Angel. I walked to the door and yawned. I didn't even brush my hair pa. My class is on 9am pa kaya around this time ako nagigising.

Pagbukas ko ng pinto binungad agad ako ng "Good morning." na may kasamang smile na kay sigla. It was Vico and he had a bag of groceries with him. I immediately covered my mouth kasi wala pa akong toothbrush. "Good morning, V." I heard my own muffled voice and let him inside the condo.

I was looking for fluffy slippers na pwede ipahiram kay Vico para hindi siya uncomfortable magpalakad-lakad with his leather shoes. I bent down and kept looking under the dining table kung saan ko siya pinaupo. I noticed Vico was kind of uncomfortable kaya tiningnan ko siya. 

"Yung sapatos ba? Wait lang talaga." I huffed and continued looking. I stood up because wala talaga kaya binigay ko nalang ang pink fluffy slippers ko kahit maliit sa kanya. At least, di siyang mahihiyang tanggalin ang sapatos niya.

I handed him my slippers and he was just staring at me. I stood up and he stared at my legs and now my chest. Aga-aga, chinecheck out niya kaagad ako? Teka lang, I looked down on what I was wearing. I was in my silk pajama top na sleeveless and my red lace panties. Fuck, wala akong shorts man lang. Tanga, tanga, tatanga tanga. Ang sabaw ko talaga. 

"Shit, sorry! 10 minutes." Napamura ako sa narealize ko at agad-agad na tumakbo para kunin ang towel ko at maligo na. He just laughed and bit his lower lip. I glared at him and he stopped checking me out naman,

Naligo na ako at nagbihis sa school uniform. Naglagay lang ako ng liptint tsaka lumabas na para makasama si Vico.

When I went to the kitchen to be with him again, he was frying eggs. "Sarap.." I said while the smell of fried eggs, garlic fried rice and bacon entered my nose. "Good morning." He said with a boyish smile and I couldn't help but want to hug him.

He hugged me for a few moments and I inhaled his smell. Ang bango, super. Bangong mayaman. He wanted to pull away because masusunog na ata yung linuluto niya pero I didn't let go.

"Magluluto muna ako, crush." He laughed while trying to pull away. "Magluto ka lang." I answered and gave him a little allowance so he can turn around but I tightened my hug on his back again. 

"Clingy talaga nito." He said while he flipped the eggs. "Ayaw mo?" I pouted and he smiled in response. "Maintain mo lang pagkaclingy mo." He smirked and I just giggled in response. 

I broke away from my own hug kasi sabi niya may kukunin siya sa fridge. "Venti iced caramel macchiato with extra caramel drizzle for my sunshine." He said it like he was a barista and I laughed at him cause I remember the same way he said it when it was still YEC. "Breakfast is served, crushy!" He added, placing my coffee on the table. 

I wanted to cry kasi grabe. He's doing so much for someone who's just nanliligaw. Date kagabi, date ngayon.. To think, every single date was well-thought-out. The candlelit dinner sa YEC reminded me of Allie and Noah's date at the abandoned house. The movie date at their house reminded me of Allie and Noah's first date. And now, breakfast food that's exactly how I like. Fully cooked fried eggs, honeycured bacon and garlic fried rice with hotdog bits. He even remembered how I like my coffee. I am a very specific person and nobody remembered so much like this for me. It warmed my heart so much.

"Wag kang umiyak." He said, handing me his white handkerchief. I didn't even notice na naluha ako sa ginawa niya. My heart felt like it was going to explode any time. "An-" He was still gonna say something but I cut him off. He was about to reach out to my cheek but I closed the distance between us.

I kissed him, nibbling his lower lip. He didn't respond immediately because he was still shocked. I grabbed his face and even deepened the kiss. I poured all the appreciation, gratitude and happiness I felt at the moment because of him. It had sparks and fireworks. Just like how Anne Hathaway wanted to be kissed in Princess Diaries, a foot-popping kiss. He kissed me back with so much passion, love. So much care. 

It was different from all the other kisses I've had. It wasn't brash nor in a rush. He kissed me like I was fragile, as if I'd break anytime if he crossed a line. 

We broke away for a while and he rested his forehead on mine. "I have never experience to have someone who cares so much for me, he even remembers how I like my eggs cooked." He laughed at what I said. Tears well up once again in my eyes and he just smiled. "Masanay ka na. Hindi ako aalis anytime soon." I giggled at what he said.

He returned to his seat. And we ate with so much love in the air. I couldn't thank God enough for my favorite blessing from Him named Vico Sotto.
