I was awakened by the irking sound of the alarm clock. Frowning, I slowly opened my eyes and reached for the clock to turn it off. The curtain in our room is thick so the sunlight was practically being blocked making the room appear dark even if it's already bright outside. 

I yawned a few times while contemplating whether to remain in bed or to get up. I shifted my gaze to the man laying beside me with his arms wrapped around my waist, caging me. He's still fast asleep with his face buried in the crook of my neck. 

I tried to wriggle from his hold and pushed myself down a bit so our faces would level. A small smile touched my lips as I stared at his peacefully sleeping face. He's like a sleeping baby, only when he's asleep though.

I decided to wake him up after quite a moment of staring since he said he'll be very busy today.

I playfully poked his cheek. "Vicente..."

He hummed but he didn't budge.

"Vicente, gising na," mahinang paggising ko habang sinusundot pa rin ang pisnge niya.

Hindi niya ako pinansin at sumiksik pa lalo sa leeg ko. Natatawang sinuklay ko ang buhok niya.

"You have to get up na."

"Five more minutes," he tried to bargain then started pressing kisses to the side of my face that he has access with.

"Mabubura na 'yong mukha ko," I said, half-laughing.

Pagkatapos ng usapan namin kagabi ay hindi na siya humiwalay sa'kin. It was just an honest random thought but it seems like it weighed heavily in his mind. Dapat lang, he should know by now that I'm not someone who'll take treachery with a grain of salt.

"Tama na! You'll be late." Sapilitan ko siyang nilayo sa'kin.

He just pouted then pressed another kiss on my forehead before finally getting up. He was mumbling something while walking his way to the bathroom but I paid it no mind, nagrereklamo lang 'yon. 

I fixed our bed and went to my own room to take a bath too. I quickly changed to my daster and went out so I could send him off. 

Vince was sitting by the sala, probably waiting for me. He immediately strode towards me when he felt my presence. He gently cupped my face so I automatically leaned my face on his palm. 

"I'm sorry, I can't join you for breakfast. I'll send someone to deliver your breakfast na lang," he said apologetically.

Nakangiting tumango ako. "It's ok, I understand. Mag-iingat ka," I said as I gave him a light tap on his right cheek.

He gave off a heavy sigh before showering my face with feather kisses, natatawang pumikit ako habang dinadama ang bawat paglapat ng labi niya sa mukha ko.

"I'll see you later," he said, still not letting me go.

"Uhm..." I hummed as I nod my head.

He sighed and slid his hands that is holding my cheeks to my waist then rested his forehead on the round of my shoulder.
