CHAPTER 51

ASTRID

I woke up from sleep with a heavy thing on me. I don't know what it is, but what does she look like, Mabigat, because I mean soft things? I tried to move, but I was stopped when it suddenly moved, and what was even more surprising was that it seemed to be crying.

"No, no. Don't leave me again, please. D-don't leave me, don't leave me again, baby."

That voice. Her scent biting into my skin and her voice were very familiar to me. I moved my body and lightly touched her with both arms. I would have pulled her in front of me when suddenly...

"N-no, no, don't leave, please." Oh sh*t, it's her.

"Hey, shhh, don't cry, baby, please. I won't leave you alright. Come on, face me," I said softly to her. After a while, she slowly turned to face me, and I was a little surprised by the look on her face full of tears as she looked at me while sobbing.

Damn it! Bakit ang cute niya parin kahit na ganyan ang itsura niya? Ugh unfair!

"Shh, don't cry, please, tahan na. Hindi na ako aalis pa sa tabi mo, okay?" Pinahid ko naman ang kanyang luha at pinatakan ng halik ang kanyang noo. Yumakap naman siya sa akin ng mahigpit na parang takot mawala ako bago muling bumaon sa leeg ko.

I gently caress her hair and tap her back slowly at ilang sandali pa ay napansin ko naman na bumigat ang paghinga niya senyales na nakatulog na siya agad.

Dahan-dahan naman akong bumangon at umiwas na gumawa nang ingay para hindi siya magising pa. Inilagay ko naman siya sa gilid ko bago inayos ang kanyang pagkakahiga at kinumotan ang kanyang katawan.

I looked at her face like a sleeping angel and wondered how she knew I was here. I mean, I'm here in Paris, where I will now temporarily live for three months because I'm arranging something with our company and temporarily looking at it. Daddy and Mommy, on the other hand, are the ones who will actually come here, so it's just a coincidence that they also have a trip to another country, so I, as the only child, will automatically take care of those company problems.

Napaisip rin ako na siguro hihintayin ko nalang ang bukas kung kailan siya gigising. Kaya siguro to naktulog dahil sa pagod ng byahe. Ikaw ba naman umopo sa Eroplano ng ilang oras tignan ko lang kung hindi ka mapapagod.

I look at her face like an angel as I smile down her long eyelashes to her sharp nose and her lips, which are as sweet as strawberries when you taste them. Suddenly, my throat dried when I stared at it for a long time, and somehow, I missed kissing those lips. Maybe there's nothing wrong with stealing her kiss, right? I mean, argh—just now, after all, my baby is already asleep. Yeah! Baby ko, kasi siya lang naman talaga ang mahal ko, ugh! I'm so corny!

Dahan-dahan naman akong lumapit sa mukha niya. Isang dangkal-dalawa-tatlo-apat at lalapit na sana ang labi ko sa labi niya ng biglang.

"Baby bilisan mo naman kanina pa ako naghihintay eh hmpf!"

Nanigas naman ako habang nakadilat ang mata ganun rin siya sa akin. Ilalayo ko na sana ang ulo ko ng bigla niya itong hinila palapit dahilan para magdikit ang labi naming dalawa. Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko at bahagyang di nakagalaw sa aking pwesto. She kissed me gently at marahang iginalaw-galaw ang kanyang labi sa akin. She suddenly stopped ng mapansin niya na hindi ako tumutugon sa kanyang halik.

"Kiss me back, babe." And she kissed me again, but this time ay yung tipong nagmamadali na at parang may hinahanap. Hindi na ako nagpatumpik-tumpik pa at agad tinugon ang kanyang halik. I kiss her back with so much love and intensity, bago marahang pumatong sa kanyang ibabaw.

She suddenly hugged my waist using both of her hands and raised that chin to my waist, causing me to feel a strange and combined heat, and damn, what did she do to me? Why do I feel this way? I shouldn't feel this, right? I think maybe we need to stop first so that we can talk.
