KISSING MONSTER

VINGT-SEPT

We stayed here for a whole week and for me to cope up with my parents.

"I will gonna missing you again, darling." Mommy hugged me so tight.

I hugged her back. "Me, too, My."

"If me and your daddy have a spare time, we will visits you, anak." She said.

I smile at her and glanced at Daddy.

When Mommy let me go, I walked towards Daddy and I hugged his waists.

"Take care always, my princess. I sent you some bodyguards there." He whispered.

"Dad, I'm not a baby girl anymore." and I pouted.

"It's for your safety, darling." He insisted.

"Fine po." and I nodded.

"We can't accompanied you now, darling, because we have some business to finish with. I'm sorry." Mommy said.

"It's fine, My. I'm with them. Don't worry about me." and I smile.

"Eusebio watch over your sister while we were busy here, okay?" Daddy stated.

Kuya Eusebio nodded.

"And you, Engr. Clark, take care of my daughter or else, I will arranged her married to someone." Daddy warned.

"Daddy-"

"Sure thing, Engr. Cameron." Clark smiled.

I pouted.

We bid our goodbyes again to my parents before we get in the double decker bus house.

Isaac, Dorothy, and Autumn come with us in Calix's mansion because Isaac insisted to come because he told us that he need to check me time to time. Also Kuya Miguel 'cause he is my personal bodyguard.

While Tita Lucille and Tito Samuel go separately to their mansion for some business matter.

[Calixtro Mansion]
"MAMA!" Carter runned towards me when he saw me in doorway and he hugged my thighs.

"I miss you so much, Mama! Saan ka nanggaling?" inosenteng tanong niya sa akin habang nakatingala sa akin.

Lumuhod naman ako para magpantay kami kaya niyakap niya ako sa leeg at niyakap ko din siya.

"Me, too." sagot ko rito bago napalingon sa nakasunod kay Carter at tumayo para maglakad ako papalapit sa kanila.

Nginitian ko lang si Ate Kleng na mabagal na naglalakad habang nakaalalay si Manang Lisa sa kanya.

"We've been waiting for you to come back, Seri. How's California?" She asked after I hugged her.

"I'm doing great there." I replied, "And congrats ate Kleng!" I added while touching her big tummy.

"Thanks! She's a baby girl! And her name will be Mackenzie." She stated in excited tone.

"I'm happy for you, ate." I smiled.

"Isaac, Dorothy, how's life? It's been a long run before we meet again." Ate Kleng asked.

"Doing great, ate." Dorothy replied after kissed her cheeks.

Isaac nodded.

"Sungit ka pa din hanggang ngayon." Ate Kleng commented and laugh.

She looked at the woman beside of Isaac while interwined their hands and smile to Autumn.

Autumn nodded.

"ATE GANDA!!!" somebody shouted upstair.

I looked up and I saw my twin cousins running in my direction from the stair.

"Hudson, Mari, how are you twins?" I asked while hugging them both.

"Where have you been, ate Ganda?" Mari asked.

"Tito Calix told us, you're gone for a vacation." Hudson stated.

"Yes. I'm gone for a vacation in California because I need to undergo for a treatment to my lungs." I honestly answered.

I consciously looked around to the people behind me who doesn't have any idea about my lung problem especially Clark, except Kuya Eusebio and Tito Calix.

The twins just asked me anything under the sun while we were eating our dinner.

[My Room]
It's been a long and tiring day for me, so I decided to took a quick shower before lay down in my bed.

"Home sweet home, Serinity." I whispered while looking at the ceiling and try to focused myself to sleep.

I heard my door opened and footsteps walking towards me.

"Clark," I called without looking at him.

I know it's him because of the smell of his fragrance. A smell who wanted to drown you to rest and sleep.

He lay down besides me and hugged me to my waist.

"How's your lung treatment?" he huskily asked to right ear.

"Doing great now." I simply said.

"How about your heart? Do I still owned your heart?" he seriously asked.

"I should be the one who asked you that, Clark. I've been gone for a years and I doubt myself if I still the one in your heart for knowing that you're flirting with your girlflings. I don't know if I still let you to keep my heart." I dramatically said and try not to cry.

"You're still the one, mon amour. My love for you still not changes even if you're gone until now." He replied.

"If that's the case, why do you cheat on me with your girlflings? Why do you let someone hold you like I do? *sob* Why do you ruin yourself by drowning with liquors and messing out with somebody's properties? Why, Clark? *sob* Am I not enough to you? *sob*" I let out my tears and I looked at him.

I pulled out to his hugs to sat on the bed and bend forward to my knees.

"Hush, baby, please stop crying." and he hugged me from behind, "I'm sorry for cheating on you. I'm sorry for being alcholic. I'm sorry for thinking that you're not enough to me but you are enough more than everything. I'm sorry, baby."

Umalis sa likuran ko si Clark para lumuhod sa harapan ko at yakapin ako habang hinahaplos ang buhok ko.

I just cried a lot to his shoulder until the pain is gone.

We heard a knocked to my door and Clark stood up in front of me. While I wiped my tears with my both palm.

"Are you okay, Sity?" Isaac asked behind the door.

I looked at the door and to Clark.

"I-I'm fine, Uno." I replied in normal voice like he could hear it from the door.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Don't worry, I'm alright here."

"Okay then. I'll take my rest now."

Narinig na lang namin ang paalis na yabag nito.

"Are you okay now?" Clark asked.

I nodded.

"Am I forgiven?"

I nodded.

"I miss you."

"I miss you, too."

He leaned forward and reached my lips to kissed me.

The next thing I know, he was on the top of me, half-naked, kissing my lips and me, only wearing my panties, I am pushing his back head to mine to deepen our kisses. While his hands caressing around my back.

"I love you, mon amour." He whispered.

"I love you too."
