Will You Catch Me If I Fall?

Chapter 40

I woke up feeling Clynton's soft kisses on my neck and cheeks. I opened my eyes and turned around to face him, his arms are still embracing my waist. I saw his big smile as soon as I turned to him. He gave me a soft peck on the lips.

"Good morning, baby." Clynton

"Good morning.." Sophia

I tried sitting down and I immediately felt sore. My vague is still so sore, it hurts. Clynton saw my reaction and he tried to help me up. He looked guilty.

"I'm sorry." Clynton

Why is he saying sorry? Does he regret it because I'm hurt? He should not say sorry to me, It was an amazing night.

"Don't apologize, it was heavenly." Sophia

Ang kanyang pag kakakonsensya ay napalitan agad ng ngiti at napailing ito. He raised a brow and looked at me, trying to observe what I'm feeling.

"Now you know what heaven feels like, huh?" He teased.

Hinampas ko agad ng unan ito at natawa naman siya.

I stood up at nag wash na sa bathroom I also brushed my teeth. Clynton stalked behind me, he's only wearing his boxers. I awkwardly continued brushing my teeth while he tried to hug me from behind.

He looked in the mirror at napatingin din ako.

"I love you." He whispered happily.

I finished brushing my teeth and faced him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and told him, "I love you too."

Everything went by so fast. I didn't think we could be like this again. I didn't think that I could feel happy again. I can live without him, I'm sure as hell that I can but it does not feel lively. With Clynton, I am genuinely happy and contented.

After six years of unforgiving moments, I can finally say that I forgive him. I just couldn't feel angry at him anymore, I'm just thankful that we have each other. I'm thankful that I have him. I didn't think it was possible to love like this again. I can't love him if we can't forgive each other.

What are the chances of finding a love that lasts for six years like ours? Sobrang rare ng ganoong klaseng pag mamahal. How could I not be thankful for it?

I don't want to waste any time anymore. Six years din ang nawala sa amin ni Clynton. Ngayon pa ba ako mag sasayang? Life is too short to be scared.

"I'm sorry for running away from you." Sophia

"It's not your fault.. You had to go.. It's all my fault.." Clynton

"Walang may kasalanan, Clynton. We needed to take that break." Sophia

"Nasaktan kita. Bakit nandito ka padin sakin? Bakit ako padin?" Clynton

"Ikaw, bakit ako padin?" Sophia

"Kasi mahal kita." Clynton

"Then that's my reason too. Kasi mahal kita." Sophia

He hugged me at naibaon ang kanyang mukha sa aking balikat. I can feel how bad he felt for everything that happened and what went down between us.

"I don't want to hurt you anymore." Clynton

"Then don't." Sophia

We wouldn't be the people we are today, if we didn't get hurt. The pain forced us to grow, it molded and shaped us to be the people we are today. We weren't good for each other's mental health. Those six years helped us to be the better versions of ourselves for each other..
