"We're checking out," Eros whispered behind me.

My right leg and arm were wrapped around him pero kaagad niya rin akong tinanggal sa pagkapulupot sa kaniya. Naupo siya ng maayos at dumulas ang kumot pababa ng hita niya nang gumalaw. He adjusted it to cover me up kahit nabihisan niya na ako kanina. I sighed tiredly as I felt my body hurting for what we've done.

"Bawal ba-"

"We're both going home tonight," he said sternly.

I groaned at him. Naupo ako para pantayan siya pero strikto lang ang itsura niya at mukha walang balak bawiin ang sinabi.

"Hindi ka pagod? Makakauwi ka ba ng maayos?"

How many times did we... my gosh! Don't think about things that would just burn your cheeks red, Clementine!

"I have to go home. I'll help Mama with the farm tomorrow," sabi niya. "Uuwi ka rin. Mag-aalala ang Nana Miranda mo, señorita."

To make me feel fine about it, niyakap niya ako. My body submitted when he tugged me. His bare chest embraced my already clothed self. I felt sleepy and exhausted of today na gusto ko na ngang dito matulog.

In a few hours we're here, I felt at home in his arms. Kampante naman akong hindi uuwi ang mga magulang ko kaya okay lang kung manatili. But if Eros wanted both of us to go home, fine. I should be happy about what happened to us today.

I sighed. Hindi ko pinatagal pa. Even when I'm sore down there, I stood up and fixed myself in the mirror beside the bed. Mula sa salamin ay napansin ko sa likod na isinusuot na ulit ni Eros ang shirt niya. He sat up at the bed again and waited for me to tidy up.

Sinuklay ko ang maikli kong buhok sa harapan ng salamin. My light makeup was already fading so I did some retouching before we leave. I can feel Eros watching me from behind my back as I put powder on. Nakaestatwa ang titig sa akin. Nang magtama ang paningin namin, napatigil ako sa pag-aayos. He bit his lip and rested his fist on his chin, keeping his gaze at me.

"You're so beautiful," he let out.

I blinked and looked shyly. Hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla akong nahiya. For a moment, I just wanted to hide myself in a blanket. His stares were just too attractive that I want to cut it kung ayaw kong may mangyari ulit at hindi ko siya pauwiin!

I bit my lower lip and hurried up instead of replying anything. We exited the hotel and checked out past midnight. I did not call my driver anymore and Eros just told me to book us a Grab car towards home.

Sumunod ako at ginawa ang sinabi niya. He didn't leave me the moment the car arrived. Sumama siya sa'kin para ihatid ako kahit sa labas lang ng subdivision namin. Napahilig ako sa balikat niya nang makasakay. Eros heard me sighing in depletion. He held my hand and put it in his lap.

"Is it still hurting?" he whispered at me. "Was I harsh?"

The car has some upbeat music playing in the speakers, so I don't think that was distinct for the driver to hear. Tumaas ang tingin ko kay Eros, halos kumawala ang ngiti ko sa realisasyon ng tanong niya.

"Nope," I answered. He was then contented with that but I chose to add, "Eros, you were so gentle in bed-"

"Your mouth, señorita," he whispered, slightly peeking at the driver.

Tumawa ako. "Is the mouth of the person you only love, okay?"

He shook his head and chuckled. He held the side of my head to dip it closer to his shoulder. Tiningnan kami ng driver na walang ideya sa pinag-uusapan namin.
