Gone with the Wind (Upper East Side Two)

Chapter Twenty-Three

23 - Friend

There are too many words that can explain what I am feeling right now. I feel like I'm on cloud nine because of the ecstatic emotion.

I am being crazy for the euphoric feeling.

He knew that I love him, yes, but I never thought that he'll take it to a higher step.

I was too surprised and full of emotions when I heard the words he uttered. I felt my heart wanted to break free and explode because of those words.

He sent me something that I am very willing to feel. That I wanted to feel always and forever with him.

"Baby." He mumbled.

I felt him moved closer beside me and sniffed my hair before he pressed a kiss on my hair.

Nandito kami ngayon sa loob ng opisina niya. I had classes this morning and he fetched me in the university at lunchtime and we went here.

Ang sabi niya'y gusto niya raw akong makasama ngayon dahil daw mamimiss niya ako sa susunod na araw.

"I'll miss you, baby." Nakapulupot ang kanang kamay nuya sa baywang ko at ako naman ay nakahilig sa malapad na dibdib niya.

Ang sarap pakinggan na ganito ang nararamdaman ni Zavi para sa akin. My head turned up to him and saw him staring at me. I smiled at him.

"I'll miss you too, Zavi." I replied. I heard him released a sigh.

Kinuha niya ang kaliwang kamay ko na nakapatong sa hita ko at hinawakan iyon. He made it closer to his face as I felt his lips brushed on my hand.

"Maybe I can cancel my flight this evening." Sambit niya na nagpagulat sa akin.

Gusto ko man ang hatid na init ng katawan niya sa akin ay hindi ko na inalintana iyon. Agad akong bumangon mula sa dibdib niya at hinarap ko siya. My brows creased at him.

"You won't do that." I pouted while sending him a death glare. He chuckled.

"I can, baby. I'm the CEO right?" He innocently asked.

"You can't use the CEO card every time, Zavi. You have to do your job." Hinila niya naman ako at napasalampak sa dibdib niya paharap.

"Oh, I'll miss you and your voice, then." Sabi niya sa malalim na boses.

"We can videocall naman eh." Sabi ko.

"It will never be enough, baby. I want you by my side always, hmm." He hummed as he tightened his grip around my body.

Napakalayo na nga talaga ng narating namin. Kung noon ako lang ang nagnanais na makita siya lagi, who would have thought that he'll be like me also?

Sinilip niya ako at nahuli ang ngiti sa labi ko. Nakita ko ang pagsalubong ng kilay niya sa ginawa ko.

"Are you happy that you won't see me?" He snapped softly.

Agad naman akong umiling pero mas lumawak ang ngiti sa labi ko. Hindi ko alam kung bakit niya pa hinila papalapit sa kanya kahit magkalapit at magkadikit naman na kami.

"Here I am saying I'll miss you for the next few days and I'll see you smiling for that, why is that, baby?"

"Nothing, Zavi. I am just happy right now most especially when I am with you." I explained sincerely.

I am extremely blessed and content right now. We have a label. Na kung dati'y hanggang pangarap ko lang ay ngayon natutupad na.

He is my boyfriend. I am his girlfriend. He told me I am his, and maybe that alone signifies that he is mine also.
