When I opened my eyes the first thing I looked for Denzel. I saw him sitting on a chair drinking coffee while waiting for me. I think he's waiting for me to wake up so can have breakfast together.
"Goodmorning," he greeted as soon as our eyes met.
"Goodmorning," bati ko pabalik sa kanya.
"Why are you smiling like that?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Is it wrong to smile at someone you like," sagot niya sa akin.
I felt my heart flutter, he never fails to amused me with his words.
"Come here, breakfast is waiting," tawag niya sa akin.
Di na ako na nagabala pang magsuklay. Bumangon na ako mula sa kama para saluhan siya. Nakihigop ako sa tasa ng kape niya.
"Is that an indirect kiss?" pansin niya sa ginawa ko.
"I guess so," sabi ko naman bago umupo para samahan siya.
"I prefer a real kiss," sabi niya.
"What happened to my softy fiancè you suddenly turn to a flirty one," pang-aasar ko sa kanya.
"Don't you like it when I flirt with you?" tanong niya.
"It's fine as long as you do it only with me," sabi ko sa kanya.
"Can I flirt with you now?" tanong niya, tumayo siya mula sa pagkakaupo at hinalikan ako.
I was surprised by what he did and I can't keep myself from blushing.
"The coffee really taste good," kumento niya pa.
"Tumigil ka nga!" utos ko sa kanya.
"But you told me that it's fine to flirt with you," balik niya sa sinabi ko.
"Kumain ka na nga lang," sabi ko sa kanya.
Tinawanan niya lamang at nagsimula na sa pagkain.
"What should we do today?" tanong niya sa akin nang patapos na kami sa pagkain.
"I think it's time that we go biking," sabi ko sa kanya.
"I think so too," sabi niya.
...
"Are you sure you're okay?" tanong sa akin ni Denzel nang makalabas ako ng banyo. Naka limang balik na kasi ako sa palikuran para dumumi.
"I'm fine, don't worry," I assured him. Having diarrhea is nothing new to me. I'm also aware that it's caused by my illness.
"I already took medicine," dagdag ko pa sa kanya.
"Just tell me if you don't feel well okay," he reminded me.
"Yes, Doki doki," sabi ko.
Napakunot siya ng noo habang nagtatakang nakatingin sa akin.
"Doki doki?" ulit niya sa sinabi ko.
"Yup, cause my heart beats quickly when I'm with you, and also sounds like Doc," I explained.
Bigla siyang nag-iwas nang tingin at napatalikod sa akin. I think I went overboard. I forgot that my lover is a cinnamon roll.
"Ron, nakararami ka na ha, how could you attack me like this?" He looked appalled.
"Sige, Doki na lang para di ka masyado kiligin," sabi ko sa kanya.
"I shall call you Nico Nico, because you make me smile every single time," sabi naman niya.
Di ko napagilan ang panlalaki ng mata ko. I was just teasing him tapos babawian niya ako nang ganito.
