Kiss

LOEY woke me up with a phone call, I checked what time is it and it's past midnight. I got scared, of course, I mean who wouldn't be? 

"Baby, what wrong? Is everything fine?" I asked, a bit sleepy.

"Can you come here, baby? Nilalagnat yata ako." his voice was hoarse and I could hear him sniffing. "I will fetch you there-"

"Babe, it's fine, magpapahatid nalang ako kay Kuya. Just wait for me okay?"

He was saying sorry dahil daw naistorbo niya ang tulog ko at si kuya, I said that it was okay and Kuya would understand naman. I got up and went out of my room to wake Kuya up. Luckily, he's not asleep because he was face timing his girlfriend, at this hour, where almost everyone is peacefully sleeping.

Bumalik din naman ako sa kwarto ko para mag handa. I took my small backpack and put biogesics and some koolfever inside. Ilang beses ko pa iyon chineck dahil baka may nakalimutan ako. I changed into my jogging pants and a white shirt and then I covered it with a jacket.

When I got out of the house Kuya was already inside the car kaya mabilis lang din kami nakadating sa condo. Mabuti at kilala na ako ng security guard kaya naka-akyat ako ka agad.

When I reached his unit, I quickly typed the passcode. As soon as I entered, I saw Loey leaning his head on the table with medicine tabs on top of it, some were open already. Loey looked back when he heard my footsteps. I put my bag down on the couch near me. He extended his hands like he was a child asking for his mom to hug him. Idagdag mo pa na suot nito ang hoodie niya at naka pout pa ito.

I walked towards him and he quickly enveloped me for a tight hug. He buried his head on my neck, slightly sniffing me and I let him. After a minute, I lightly pushed his shoulders away from me so that I could take a look at his face. I cupped his face, I could feel that his skin is hot and sweaty and he was a bit red. I placed the back of my hand on his forehead to check his temperature.

"Have you checked your temperature?" He nods his head and continued to stare at me while smiling like an idiot. 

"Sana araw-araw nalang ako may sakit, so that you could take good care of me." sabi nito.

"So, you mean to say na hindi kita inaalagaan?" Palihim akong napangisi, maasar nga 'tong isang to. "I'm sorry, I'm such a bad girlfriend." I dramatically wiped the tears on my eyes. I could see how his eyes panicked. He pulled the sleeves of his hoodies up to his elbows. 

Ang kaninang pag-iinarte ko ay agad napalitan ng gulat. His skin was a bit red at may maliliit na pantal-pantal. I saw him scratching his neck. I told him to take off his hoodie and he did. Pati ang leeg niya ay namumula na din. 

"Baby, may kinain ka ba?" tanong ko sa kanya.

He was confused but he nod his head. "Oo, yung sinigang na hipon. Bakit?"

"May allergies ka ba sa seafood?"

"No, I don't."

"What's the last thing you ate?"

"Yung sinigang nga... Baby, calm down." He said and chuckled a little after I pulled his shirt up, revealing his abdomen. No, I'm not thirsty for him! I was just checking if pati sa tiyan niya ay may pantal na rin.

"The last thing that I took was the medicoㅡ" before he could even finish what he's about to say, I shouted.

"You took what?" dali-dali akong lumapit sa counter table at nakita ko ngang may nainom itong isa. "Babe, baka may allergy ka dito? Was it your first time na makainom nito?"
