My Aloof Man

Chapter 40

REALITY

I was woken up by a soft tap on my shoulder. Then I heard Brennon's voice. Marahan at akala mo'y hinihele ako sa halip na ginigising.

"Baby, wake up..."

"Hmm..."

My eyes remained closed because I still wanted to sleep more. That's when I felt him kiss my forehead.

"It's almost 11 AM. You have to eat," he added.

I lazily opened my eyes. Yung maaliwalas niyang mukha agad ang bumungad sa akin kaya hindi ko napigilang mapangiti.

"Morning," he whispered.

I tried getting up which I instantly regretted as I winced at the soreness of my femininity. He saw the change in my expression that's why he quickly attended to me so I could sit on the bed properly.

"Careful," he said, helping me up.

"Thanks," I replied as I held the white sheets on my chest to cover my naked body.

I could no longer deny the night that we shared for this aching feeling on my center is the proof that it indeed happened.

"I'll bring your food here," he stated before standing up. Pumunta muna siya sa walk in closet para kumuha ng isang t-shirt at inabot sa akin. Pagkatapos ay lumabas siya ng kwarto at bumaba.

Agad ko namang isinuot ang t-shirt na binigay niya. Maya-maya ay bumalik siya ng kwarto na may dala ng isang folding tray table na may lamang pancakes, scrambled egg, fruits, at isang baso ng orange juice.

He placed it in front of me. He then sat on the edge of the bed, facing me, as he carefully watched me while I eat.

"W-what?" I asked after a long while, suddenly feeling conscious at his stare.

He shook his head as a subtle smile formed on his lips.

"Nothing. I'm just happy you're with me."

I pursed my lips, stopping myself from smiling too. Soft boy talaga itong boyfriend ko deep inside. At parang sa akin lang 'tong side niyang 'to.

I mentally smirked at the thought.

After my brunch, I spent almost an hour in the hot tub. It's really helpful in relieving the soreness that I am feeling.

We decided to stay at home for the rest of the day. Wala akong lakas para maglakwatsa ngayon. Sobrang pagod ko, gusto ko nalang humilata buong araw.

So we spent that day watching random movies. We were at the living room, it's already sunset. I'm seated at the edge of the sofa, my lower back is supported by its inside arm. Nasa kandungan ko ang isang bowl ng popcorn habang nakadantay ang mga paa ko sa legs niya. He's seated comfortably, his body directly facing the television, while his left arm lazily rests on the back pillow.

"What do you want for dinner?" he asked as he carefully removed my legs on his when the film's after credits' started showing.

"You."

"Seriously?"

I laughed at his reaction. He looked disturbed by the idea but sounded excited at the same time. Tingnan mo 'to!

"Joke lang! Pa deliver nalang tayo? I want chicken and pizza." I suggested. "Ako na mag-oorder kasi ilang araw mo narin naman akong pinagluluto."

Bago pa siya makapagreklamo ay naabot ko na ang cellphone kong nasa coffee table. Naghanap agad ako ng pwedeng orderan.

The following day, we opted to visit the famous giant windmills of Bangui Bay. These windmills, accordingly, provided fifty percent of electricity for Ilocos Norte.
