Nakita kong namungay ang mga mata niya matapos ko sabihin iyon. He attempted to kiss me again but suddenly stopped. Nakita ko siyang pumikit nang mariin at huminga nang malalim.

"W-Why?" I asked.

Mas lalo lang akong nagtaka nang umatras siya nang kaonti mula sa akin. Nag-iwan siya ng maliit na espasyo sa gitna namin. Dahil sa pagtataka ay lumapit ako sa kanya. Napasinghap siya at biglang tumayo.

"I'm trying to control myself so stay away for a moment, please."

Nalaglag ang panga ko sa sinabi niya. I didn't know that's what he was thinking. Hindi ko na napigilan ang paghalakhak ko. Ang luha kanina sa mata ko ay naudlot dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Stop laughing,"

"I'm sorry..." I said, still chuckling.

"You made that rule in the first place so I'm just being careful."

Napanguso ako. "Rules are meant to be broken you know."

"Shut it." he hissed. "You're still drunk and I don't want to lose my damn control again."

"Hindi ako lasing. I'm all sobered up now! Tingin mo lasing ako habang nakikipag-usap sa'yo kanina?"

"Maybe. You might even forget about it tomorrow morning."

Gusto kong matawa dahil nakanguso na siya na parang bata.

"Then shouldn't we make this night memorable so that I won't forget about it tomorrow?" I teased.

Muli siyang pumikit nang mariin dahil sa sinabi ko. It was as if he's losing his patience. He looks so frustrated because we're talking about this.

"Sleep, you still have work tomorrow." pakikiusap niya.

"I don't have a definite schedule. I'm a CEO you know."

"Well, I have work tomorrow then."

I pouted at him. I think that was his last excuse to prevent me from provoking him. I pulled him back to the couch and sat on his lap as I enveloped my arms around his neck.

"I'll hire you then. I will pay for your day's salary, hmm?" I said while biting my lips.

He groaned again. "Stop seducing me."

"Ano ba sa tingin mo ang gagawin natin? Maghahalikan lang naman tayo. Anong problema do'n?" paghahamon ko.

Muli siyang nagpakawala ng malalim na buntong hininga. Mukha siyang nahihirapan sa mga sinasabi ko.

"Hindi ko alam kung makakapagpigil pa ako kapag naghalikan na tayo."

Namula ang mukha ko sa pag-amin niya. His gaze remained serious. Mukha siyang nananantiya sa reaksyon ko.

"Atsaka kakagaling lang natin sa away. Ayokong isipin mo na gagawin ko 'to dahil nagkabati tayo. I won't take advantage of the situation. I love you so much and I assure you that I can wait when you're ready."

This gentleman! Hindi ko alam kung bakit ba ganito siya magpigil kahit hindi ko naman hinihiling na magpigil siya. But I appreciate how he cherishes me and I love this part of him too.

"Carry me to bed," I raised my arms to him.

"Alright, then you'll sleep okay?"

Tumango ako at ngumiti sa kanya.

He quickly carried me like a child. I clung to him and wrapped my legs around his waist. Mahigpit akong nakakapit sa kanya habang bitbit niya ako patungong kwarto.
