The Only Hope for Me is You

Chapter 36 : His Princess

M A X E N E

The ray of the sunlight wakes me and I yawn. I look at the person behind me and he's still sleeping peacefully with his arms around me.

Hinarap ko siya at inayos ang buhok niya. Muli niya akong nilapit sa kanya sa sobrang lapit niya ramdam ko ang hininga niya. To think na nagsession kami bago matulog kagabi. Akala ko pa talaga magagalit siya sa akin.

Pero hindi niya ako matiis. Heh!

But then again, I still have one more goal, iyon ay ang makilala si Travis ng nanay niya.

Hindi na naman niya kailangan magpanggap bilang si Laurenz. If only he'd tell his brother about their biological mother.

Pero siguro sa susunod ko na lang pagtutuunan ng pansin iyon. Lalo na at nasaksihan ko kung gaano katindi ang epekto ni Travis sa kapatid niya.

Bigla ko tuloy naisip si Sarah, pati kaya siya galit na rin sa akin ngayon?

I held his face and plants a kiss on his lips.

"Hey, it's morning." I tell him but he didn't open his eyes. I kissed him again. He's not waking up. I sighed, baka nga malalim pa ang tulog niya. Makapaghanda nga muna ng breakfast.

Nang aakmang aalis ako sa kama bigla niya akong hinila.

"Where do you think you're going?" Pilyo niyang tanong sa akin. His voice just resonates in my soul.

"Kanina ka pa pala gising. Kainis!" I hit him playfully and he chuckled.

"Good morning Mine." He said with a deep soothing voice as his hand pushes me for his lips to kiss my temple.

"Good morning Mine." I replied with a smile as he trace my face with his fingers.

I don't know how minutes has passed but we're still looking at each other eye to eye.

"Anong iniisip mo?" Hindi ko maiwasang tanong sa kanya, malulunod na naman kasi ako sa mga mata niya eh.

"Ikaw." That one word made my heart flutter.

"Ako?" I paused trying to sound casual, "Bakit naman?"

"Because you're the reason why I wake up in the morning."

Biglang uminit ang mukha ko, ang aga-aga nabanat siya ng ganyan.

"Tumayo na nga tayo, magluluto pa ako ng breakfast." Pagmamaktol ko pero hinila niya ako at ngayon naka-ibabaw ako sa dibdib niya.

I gulped thinking that we're both wearing nothing after last night.

He smiled at me playfully and pouts. Umiwas ako ng tingin pero binalik niya ang tingin ko sa kanya and I see him pouts again. That simple gesture warms up my heart.

Ang cute niyang maglambing, nakakainis!

His gesture alone tells me that he wants me to kiss him.

"Say please muna." Pagmamaldita ko sa kanya.

"Kiss me please." Aba, masunuring bata.

Matitiis ko ba ang mukha na iyan?

Para matapos na lang, nilapat ko ulit ang labi ko sa kanya. At naramdaman ko naman na ngumiti ang labi niya.

"More." He uttered with a husky voice.

"Spoiled." I teased him.

"More, please." He says with a gentle voice caressing my hair.
