Chapter 14

DULCIS

I was speechless with that written set of rules.

I took a glance on the wall clock. 2 AM. Jeez kaya pala hinihikab na ako. I slept seconds after his appearance. I just remembered his sexy bod and his sexy towel before my eyelids gave up.

I woke up, feeling an unfamiliar heavy weight around my tummy. My eyes widened when I realized that Jean Tovin is behind me, hugging me. His left arm is on my waist!

"Uhh," he groaned. He's fast asleep. It's just 5 AM and for sure himbing na himbing pa siya sa pagtulog. I even felt his breathing on my nape. I suddenly felt uneasy. My hands got damped and I got goosebumps, too. His left arm was just below my breasts. My face flared because of it. The room temperature heatened up.

"J-Jean Tovin, wake u-up," I mumbled.

"Hmm..."

"Jeez I'm dead," bulong ko9 sa sarili ko.

I rolled over to see him and boom! He is shirtless! He threw his left arm around me again. He held me tight and drew me closer to him. Now, I can feel his breathing on my own pretty mouth. My temple collided with his.

Hindi na ako nakatulog hanggang alas sais. Pinikit ko lang ang mga mata ko pero gising ako in the aspect na aware ako sa kung anong nangyayari.

"Shit!"

I don't want to open my eyes because he might get mad again that I was just pretending asleep.

Bumangon siya. Naramdaman ko iyon.

"Shit? What the hell did I do? Bakit 'di ako sa couch natulog? Shit! Bakit ko siya niyakap? Unan ba siya? Shit! Parang unan naman dahil malambot ang kata-- fvck! What am I thinking?!" he mumbled with ascending and descending tones. I wanna giggle right now because Jean Tovin is a one frustrated friend.

He finally get out of the bede. It's my turn to open my eyes and when I opened my eyes, I saw him striding back and forth, hands uprooting his hair.

"Ano na lang ang sasabihin niya kung naabutan na niya akong nakayakap sa kanya kagabi? This is fvck."

"Good morning," I greeted. Napalundag siya at namutla pa. Nagulat ko nga yata siya sa simpleng salutation ko lang.

Inirapan niya ako saka nagpunas ng noo. "The fvck? Pinagpawisan ako umagang umaga. Ikaw kasi!"

There you are. He accused me again. Poor me.

"It wasn't my fault. It was you who hugged me the whole time."

I made his eyes widened in surprise. That's what you got! I even saw how he hardly gulped. I knew how your arm rested on me, Jean Tovin. Your left arm is warm and soothing. Pasalamat ka't di ko iyon hinawi.

"Wh-what are you t-t-talking about, Naked Freak?"

"Idunno. Ask yourself."

I went straight to the bathroom without anything. I even forgot my towel. I forgot clothes. And I'm embarrassed to go back again.

"Jean Tovin..." I beckoned, unsure if he heard it.

He replied right away. "Oh?" His voice became calmer.

"Towel."

"Tss..." I haven't started yet. "Buksan mo na 'tong pinto. Nakahubad ka na ba?" That's my Straightforward Jean Tovin.

"Nope."

"Edi bumalik ka na sana dito. Ang arte mo talaga. Inutusan mo pa ako."

I gripped the doorknob. I twisted it. In front of me is a young man standing. Magulo ang kanyang buhok at nasa balikat niya iyong pinapakuha kong tuwalya.
