Chapter 22

"I'll still find a place for me."sabi ko nang makapasok kami ni Jacos sakanyang pad.

Inilapag niya ang kanyang relo sa lamesa saka ako tinaasan ng isang kilay.

"I won the bet,Noelle."paalala niya.Tumango ako.

"I know."sagot ko saka naupo sa couch.Tumabi naman siya akin at yumakap.

"Then,why are you still going?"tanong niya saka siniksik ang mukha sa aking leeg.That tickled me.

"Because we're obviously not married."I said sarcastically and combed his hair using my fingers.

"But, we will be."he whispered and kissed my neck a bit before burying his face on it again.

"Hmm?"tanong ko saka ngumisi.Natigilan s'ya.

"You're still not sure?"lumayo s'ya sa akin saka kami nagtitigan.Tumango ako.

I am sure.It's not yet the time and I want him to wait for me.I want to fix everything first.

"How come you aren't sure about me,while all I dreamed about is you, crying in front of me in the altar because you're happy."he whispered.Nagpanggap akong walang narinig.

Halatang nasaktan si Jacos sa sagot ko kaya naman napalunok siya at tumango nalang kalaunan.He sighed before standing up.

"Let's go to sleep now and we'll find a better place for you tomorrow."seryoso niyang sabi.Tumango ako at sumunod sakanya sa kwarto.

I gulped with the thougt that I'll sleep with him.

Oh dear Lord!

"Don't worry, I'll sleep on the couch."usal niya saka pumunta sakanyang closet.May kinuha siya roon.

Bumalik si Jacos at iniabot sa akin ang pares na pantulog na pambabae.Mayroon ding under garments doon.

"You're bringing your girls here."I said bitterly.Mas kumunot ang noo n'ya.

"This is your first time here,Noelle."tinalikuran na niya ako at bumalik s'ya sa closet."Go clean yourself up and go to bed."utos niya na tinanguhan ko nalang kahit hindi naman niya kita.

Naligo ako at nagbihis na rin sa loob ng banyo.Naupo ako sa kama at hinintay si Jacos nang s'ya naman ang pumasok sa loob.

I sighed while thinking about his in pained face awhile ago.He looked rejected.

Sorry,Baby.I just really have to fix everything about me before having you fully.

I can't be with you while I'm still in pieces.

Jacos went out of the bathroom at naka pajama na s'ya pero wala pang suot na pang itaas.I looked at his fit body vulgarly.Masungit naman niya akong tinignan.Gusto kong matawa pero pinigilan ko nalang.

"Come here."tawag ko sakanya nang tahimik s'yang dumeretso sa closet para kumuha ng tshirt.

"I'm tired already.Let's talk tomorrow."masungit niyang sagot.May tampo.

"Hmm?We can talk about it now."ngumuso ako at nahiga na."Unless...you convinced to sleep alone on the couch."I shrugged.

Natigilan siya at kumunot nanaman ang noo.

"Are testing me,Aurora?"ngumisi s'ya.Napangiwi ako sa tinawag niya.

Tumaas ang isang kilay ni Jacos habang hinihintay ang sagot ko.

"Just hop in and let's sleep.I just want you beside me tonight."humiga ako ng maayos at nagbalot ng kumot sa aking katawan.

Halatang nagulat si Jacos sa aking sinabi saka ito dahan dahang tumango at lumapit na rin sa kama saka nahiga.Ngayon ay magkatapatan na kami.
