Umm-- I missed you" Sabi ko and that is not a lie. He smiled and ruffled my hair. Tinignan niya ako at bakas parin ang ngiti niya. He kissed me lightly. "Is that all?" He asked teasingly and kiss me again. Again. Again. and again. Kaleb! Stop giving me that kind of kiss. Mababaliw ako! I nodded and looked away. He laughed a little at inituon ang atensyon niya sa paligid namin. After scanning the place his eyes were focused on me again. "You are always unpredictable" he kissed the top of my head. Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya naghihintay ng sunod niyang gagawin. "Let's go inside" ngiti niya sa akin at iginaya ako sa loob ng room niya. He was holding my hand and it made me calm down. Isinara niya ang pinto at tumingin sa akin. "I was expecting a confession back there" he smiled. Ha! Kung alam mo lang pero ayoko munang umamin sa ngayon at hahayaan ko nalang na mabuko ako. "You'll stay here" sabi niya na ikinakunot naman ng noo ko. "May pupuntahan ka ba?" Tanong ko at siya naman ang nag kunot ng noo. "Yes. The bed ofcourse! Let's sleep. I was up the whole night thinking about you and now that you're here I can now go to sleep" He smiled and kissed my nose.
