"You have me, hanggang kailan mo gusto."

Caeleb held my hand. He rubbed my hand with his thumb, trying his best to comfort me. Good thing, medyo kalmado na 'ko dahil naikwento ko na sa kaniya lahat. Magaan na ang luob ko.

"Thank you. Hindi mo naman kailangan magkaruon ng pake." I smiled at him. "Dahil, alam mo naman kung ano meron tayo."

"It's not about it. You have me anytime, either romantic or sensual." He swallowed hard. "But I know, we're only here for sensual things. But, you can be my friend."

"Okay, friends. I understand your side." I smiled at him. "We're all good. Friends with benefits."

Natawa na lang kaming dalawa. We ate our dinner together quietly after, nagtalo pa kami kung sino maghuhugas ng pinggan. In the end, siya naman ang naghugas, magaling naman na raw siya. Umupo na lang ako sa may couch sa sala at binabantayan siya.

"Matutulog ka na?" He asked while wiping his hands on a towel. "You can sleep inside my room. Dito na lang ako sa labas kung ayaw mo 'ko katabi."

"U-Uh.." Nanginginig kong sabi. Nakakahiya naman kung tumanggi ako. "Tabi na lang tayo. Nakakahiya naman." Dagdag ko.

"Okay," Simpleng sabi niya at dumeretso na sa kwarto niya. Sumunod na rin ako at kumuha ako ng damit ko, maliligo ako. "Dalawa C.R dito. Meron dito sa kwarto ko, yung isa andon sa may kitchen."

"Ayos lang kahit saan mo gusto," He nod before lying on his bed. "Maliligo ka?"

"Oo." I nod before I walk near the door of his bathroom.

"Wag ka na magdamit," He smirked and he put his tongue on the sides of his cheek. "Kaya naman kasi nating matulog na hindi nakadamit."

"Caeleb!" I did a facepalm before letting out a heavy sigh. "Not tonight," I shook my head before going inside his bathroom.

After taking a bath, I wear my oversized shirt and cyclings. I didn't wear my bra for me to be comfortable. Wala na rin naman akong pake kay Caeleb dahil nakita na naman niya 'tong katawan ko eh. Parehas lang kami ng side.

"Tulog ka na?" I asked him while wiping my hair. Lumapit ako sa kaniya to check him If he's really sleeping. "Pre, tulog ka?" I tapped his forehead. "Ayos tulog na."

I let my hair dry before lying down on his side. Naglagay pala siya ng unan sa gitna naming dalawa. Para siguro walang mangyari ngayon. Funny.

"Thank you, Cae." I whispered before going to sleep.

The next day, I woke up early without Caeleb on my side. I rubbed my eyes before standing up. I went inside Caeleb's bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. After, I went outside and I saw Caeleb at the kitchen, cooking some lunch. Medyo late na rin pala kami nagising.
