It Was Always You

VII

Mika Reyes

My head hurts so bad as well as the lower part of my body. I felt sore and tired because of what happened last night. I managed to stand but I fell. Kiefer rushed towards me and helped me get up.

"Okay ka lang?" He asked and let me sat on the bed. I simply nodded and I kept on massaging my head with my fingers.

"Uhm, a-about last night." My heart beat came to a full stop when he uttered those words. I became lost and I'm afraid of what he was about to say.

"It's a mere mistake, Kiefer! Don't make a fuss about it." I bluffed. Deep inside, I want us to be more than that. I knew that was not just sex, it was making love.

"Mika, no. If that was just a mistake, then why did you let yourself?" He pinned me against the wall and his arms were blocking my way.

"Let go of me, Kiefer!" Same old story, we're arguing. He did not let me go. So, I kept on pushing him. Kiefer was too strong for me.

"Just tell me you wanted that to happen!" Kiefer pinned me once more into the wall.

"Admit it that you also loved it!" I stopped pushing him because he caught me. I calmed myself and breathe in.

"What if I loved it, huh? What if I liked it? Mali, Kiefer. Maling mali!" Kiefer hugged me tight. Tears began to escape in my eyes. He cupped my face with his hands and beamed at me.

"I never thought that what we did was wrong. I never felt so alive since last night, Mika." Our foreheads met and we looked deeply at each other. Those eyes drowned me into paradise. I quickly kissed his lips and let out a laugh.

"You are such a tease, Mrs. Ravena." Kiefer said while looking at me like a lunatic. To my surprise, I was almost naked and he gave me his denim polo and I wore it.

"My clothes suits good on you. Paano pa kaya pag jersey ko na?" Kiefer commented.

"Come, I'll prepare breakfast." I grabbed his hand but he pulled me that's why I fell on top of him. Kiefer smirked and told me, "But I prefer, breakfast in bed." I slapped his chest and giggled.

"Hoy, quota ka na ha. Last night pa!" I blurted. Kiefer shook his head. Makulit talaga 'to eh.

"Babe, isa lang. Ngayon lang." He was pleading. I sat on his lap and wrapped my arms around his nape. Kiefer held on my waist carefully, his breathing became heavier, and he stiffened. I leaned in closer for a kiss and so is Kiefer but... "Tara, gutom na ako!" I stood up and left Kiefer hanging.

We prepared our own breakfast, good thing they have provided everything inside the fridge.

"Saan tayo later? Cruise na ba?" Actually, I'm a bit excited because it's my very first time to experience to ride a Cruise Ship.

"Yup, then tomorrow morning, trip na tayo around the city until Saturday. Sunday flight natin diba?" Kiefer instructed me. The Cruise Ship will be here at exactly 6 PM, so we have the whole day to swim. I was doing the dishes when I felt dizzy. Headache strikes again so I laid down the couch first.

"Are you okay? Parang matamlay ka?" Kiefer sat beside me.

"Yeah, I'm good." I tried to smile because I don't want Kiefer to worry about me.

"You're pale. Sigurado ka bang okay ka?" Again, I just nodded. He told me that he would use the jetski and invited me to come.

"No, I'll just stay here at the villa. Enjoy yourself." I stayed inside my room and slept while Kiefer went to the coast.
