I don't know why, but I feel so comfortable laying on his bed. I can totally smell his perfume from his pillow and blanket. That scent that I always notice even from a distance, pinapaligo niya na ba yon?

Walang gaanong pinagbago ang kwarto nito, nandito pa rin ang mga medals niya at mukhang nadagdagan pa nga dahil hindi ko na kilala ang iba.

From the side table I saw the necklace again. Dinampot ko iyon at tinignan.

So that's why he is still keeping this?

I saw him went inside his room. Sa pagmamadali ko naibulsa ko ang kwintas niya.

"Bakit gising ka na?" Tanong niya. May bitbit siyang isang tray ng baso at bowl. May iilang capsules din na nakalagay roon.

"I don't feel like resting."

"Hindi ka ba kumportable? What do you want? Here...kumain ka na muna." Saad niya at nilagyan niya ako ng bed table.

"Hindi naman, hindi lang talaga inaantok na." Sagot ko sakanya.

"Okay...then, eat this while it is warm. Bago mo inumin ang mga gamot." Sabi niya.

"When can I go home?" Tanong ko.

He looked at me and he looks like contemplating what to say. Mukhang ayaw niya rin yung idea na parang gustong gusto ko nang umuwi.

"Whenever you want to." Matipid niyang saad saakin. He sat beside me and cool down the soup for me. Hinawakan ko siya sa may pulsuhan dahilan para mapatingin siya saakin. Dahan dahan kong inilagay ang isang kamay ko sa batok niya at marahang inilapit siya saakin upang mahalikan sa labi.

I always do the first move, and that's what am I.

I did not move my lips, I just want him to feel my lips against his. I pulled away as if nothing happened. I'm starting to hate myself, two persons are waiting for my answer and her I am. I'm too indecisive with my thoughts.

"Why did you..." tila naguluhan ito sa inasta ko kanina lamang. I just gave him a look and shifted my eyes on the bowl.

"Wala, I just want to." Sagot ko sakanya.

"So, you like doing the first move." Aniya at saka tumayo upang pumunta sa cabinet niya.

"Yeah." Matipid kong sagot sakanya.

"Then, iisipin kong pasasalamat yon." Pagbibiro niya.

"Kapag nagpapasalamat ako, mas higit pa ang kaya kong gawin." Sagot ko bago kumain.

Lumingon siya saakin.

"Eh di, pasalamatan mo ko kapag magaling ka na. I'll be waiting for it." Aniya.

Muli siyang bumalik sa tabi ko at inabutan ako ng isang towel at T-shirt and shorts. "Here, you can take a bath if you want to. Hindi na kita pauuwiin ngayong gabi, masyado ng madilim sa labas and I don't want you to spent your night riding a cab."

"Bakit hindi mo nalang ako ihatid?" Tanong ko.

"It's a waste of gas when you can sleep beside me." Inirapan ko siya at binigyan ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa.

"Why? Totoo naman. Kung papayag ka ngang dito na kita patirahin, I won't complain. Pinapadali noon ang panliligaw ko." Saad niya saakin.

"Panliligaw?"

He nodded. "Hindi pa ba panliligaw yon? I already confessed then might as well coirt you again."

"Courting? May manliligaw bang nakipagsex na sa nililigawan." Natatawa kong saad.
