Zavi ordered food for our early dinner. He asked me where do I want to eat.

"Dito na lang sa kwarto mo... uh... sa veranda." Hindi pa nakakabawing sagot ko. I was still feeling feverish because of what we did earlier.

"Okay, I'll just take a call outside. You can stay here if you want." I nodded at him then he kissed my forehead before going out.

Kasalukuyan na kaming kumakain sa veranda niya. It's very breathtaking here. The views are very magnificent as you look at the city's skyline.

The dark surroundings added to its cosmic view. I can also feel the air giving chills inside my body.

"Do you like the food?" Basag ni Zavi sa katahimikan. I chewed the food in my mouth before answering.

"Yes.. masarap." Sagot ko at yumuko na. The feelings I had earlier never subsided.

Nahihiya ako sa iniisip ko kaya hindi ko matagalan ang titig ko sa kanya kahit ramdam ko ang kanina pang tingin niya sa akin.

I caught my breath when he held my hand on the table. That's when my eyes ascended to meet his.

In his eyes, I can almost see myself drowning in the feeling I have for him. I can practically see myself locked in his eyes and never wanting to be freed.

"Are you okay, baby?" Mahinang tanong niya. I felt him gave a squeeze on my left hand for me to pay attention.

"Y-Yes... uh.. okay lang." I stammered and looked down at my plate because his stares are too intimidating.

"Hmm... are you tired?" I don't know if I heard it wrong, but his voice lowered. That alone made my emotions intensified.

Ramdam ko ang init na dumaloy sa katawan ko at pilit ko pa ring pinipigilan magpatupok sa apoy.

I nodded at him. Hindi na siya sumagot kaya pinagtuonan ko na lang ng pansin ang pagkain ko. I was about to gather our plates when he stopped me. Tinignan ko siya at umiling naman siya.

"I can fix that later. Come on, let's get you home."

"Huh?" Naguguluhang sabi ko.

"I'll drive you to your apartment, baby." He caressed my hair. Ang takas na buhok ay inipit niya sa likod ng tenga ko.

Nanindig ang balahibo ko nang magdikit ang balat namin. Halos mapapiksi ako sa nangyari.

"Sinabi ko kay mommy na mags-sleepover ako sa mansyon niyo." Mahina kong sabi. Mukha namang naintindihan niya ang ibig kong sabihin dahil nakita ko ang pagsilay ng maliit na ngiti sa labi niya.

"Does your mother know that you won't really sleep in the mansion?" Nakagat ko naman ang labi ko sa sinabi ko.

Umiling ako. He chuckled and cupped my cheeks. He gave a lingering kiss there before guiding me inside his room.

He sat down on his huge bed, and since he's holding my hand, I sat down too. Before I can sit beside him, he pulled me, and I fell hopelessly on his lap.

"I always dreamed of this, and you made it come true, baby." He whispered while looking directly at my eyes. "I never knew that I'd be this happy and contented in my life."

Nahigit ang hininga ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Mas lalo pang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko nang nilapit niya ang mukha sa mukha ko.

Since I'm wearing a red spaghetti floral-printed wrap dress, he can easily access my neck without any barrier. I felt his nose and lips there, and after a few seconds, he's planting small kisses on my neck.
