Chapter 38

GONE

38

"I'm sorry. I'm a mess right now. You can leave..."

Mabilis siyang lumapit sa'kin at isinara ang pinto. As if, he's scared and terrified.

"That's not what I mean, Love..."

Umiling ako sa kanya. Hindi niya kailangan magpaliwanag. Naiintindihan ko.

"It's fine, Edson. I understand - "

He abruptly cut me off by kissing me thoroughly.

I feel so hot.

I don't understand why.

I just feel amazingly overwhelmed and unpatient.

His kisses go down to my neck. His hand roaming around my chest. Napatigil ako at napatingin sa mga kamay niya. Napatingin din siya doon habang nakaawang ang mga labi. He looked at me straight to my eyes before lifting my shirt.

Should I give him an access? Though, there is a small voice that is telling me not to. It was overpowered by a force that I didn't know was hidden inside of me.

All I know is I just feel so good. I was laying in my bed while Edson was in top of me. I lost all my sense of time and space. My mind was pre-occupied to what was Edson is doing in my chest.

After a little while, I noticed that the both of us were bare. We can feel each other's skin. He looked at me again. This time, it's different. He was asking me if I'm ready. I nodded.

Then, that was it.

I let Edson inside my system again. This time, in a different way.

Finally, without second doubts, I let him in.

"Love..."

I can feel Edson's breath in my ears.

"Good morning," he whispered.

My face heated profusely. It happened, right? It did!

He was trying so hard to stifle his smile. But, he unfortunaterly, failed.

"I have to go home. We have a class later."

Naalarma ako sa mukha ko. Ang hininga ko baka hindi maganda ang amoy.

Shit!

Tumikhim ako. "You should."

Tumango siya at mabilis na tumayo. Sasabihan ko sana siyang magdamit muna pero nakadamit na pala siya. Mas maaga pala siyang nagising?

That same day, Edson was making fun of me. He was enjoying the very secret that we share. Idiot.

Truly an idiot!

For a short time, I feel a little better. But it is just the calm before the storm because on the 27th of March that same year, Papa bade his goodbye.

He won't be able to open his eyes anymore.

He's gone.

Forever.

I took my exam while thinking about Papa. The next Sunday will be his burial. While I am here, taking my finals in the last semester of my Nursing School.

My tears are falling in my test papers. It became wet because my tears won't stop falling.

However, I promised Papa that this will be my gift to him.

So, I did. Kuya Doji and Kuya Samuel were there for my graduation. My first graduation ceremony without Papa.

I graduated with latin honors. Carlo got the highest average in the Nursing Department. I am so happy for him. He deserves it.
