Behind the Barriers

"Hey, wake up."

Niyugyog ko ang braso ni CJ pero hindi man lang siya natinag. He's so strong. And those biceps... my gosh.

I woke up around 8 a.m. and ordered breakfast. Nakakain na ako't nakaligo ay tulog pa rin siya. He's snoring lightly. I don't want to be rude but we were supposed to go home tonight. Gusto ko pang gumala sa Cebu para naman hindi ako malungkot.

Kinakabahan ako. I left with a mess and I need to deal it all when I come home. Sa ngayon, idi-distract ko na muna ang sarili habang may oras pa.

"Sleepyhead, you need to open your eyes."

"5 minutes," he mumbled, still sounding so sleepy.

"Kanina ka pa sa 5 minutes na 'yan, eh."

I heard his soft chuckle. He looked at me and I almost melted. Is that his morning face? If that is his morning face, I love to be with him during his waking hours.

Ang sexy!

Shoving those thoughts away, I frowned at him. Pinigilan ko rin ang sarili na mapatitig sa kanyang nakahubad na upper body. Those muscles... oh my gosh.

"Bumangon ka na at kumain," sabi ko. "We have so many things to do, old man."

"I am just 2 years older than you."

"Whatever. Bangon na. It's so annoying naman, eh."

CJ yawned like a cute cat. Inaantok pa rin siya nang bumangon. My eyes went to his boxers. Kaagad rin naman akong umiwas ng tingin at nagtungo na sa couch upang manood ng TV.

My cheeks were blushing! Of course, we did it last night. And that was so fucking good. Pero kahit na!

We have all the time to do that but I need to destress muna. It's not like I can... destress... with sex. Gosh! What is wrong with me?!

Mula sa gilid ng aking mga mata, napansin ko ang pagtayo ni CJ at nagtungo na sa CR. Doon lang ako nakahinga nang maluwag.

I focused my eyes on the screen again. I was too engrossed with the series when I heard his voice from the CR.

"Honey, can you hand me the bag?" aniya.

I felt something tingling in my chest. It was so natural. It was so comforting to hear.

"Y-Yeah, sure."

Tumayo na ako upang iabot sa kanya ang itim niyang backpack. He slightly opened the door and peeked. Basa ang kanyang buhok at I guess he's done.

"Here," sabi ko.

"Thank you."

Bumalik na ulit ako sa couch at inignora ang puso kong hindi na mapalagay. Dahil hindi na rin naman ako mapakali ay inayos ko na ang maliit na mesa pati na ang mga pagkain dun.

CJ went out from the CR wearing a black polo shirt and jeans. He's got a small towel on his hair.

"Breakfast," ani ko.

"What time is it?"

I looked at my phone. "Malapit na 10 kaya bilisan mo na."

"Opo, ma'am," aniya.

I rolled my eyes. He smiled.

Pagkatapos niyang kumain ay nagcheck-out na kami sa hotel. We have no cars, kaya nag-taxi na lang kami.

The Cebu Ocean Park is the first thing I really want to visit. Noon ko pa planong bumisita, kaso nakakalimutan ko. And I was not in a great state when I came here. Nitong umaga ko lang talaga naisipan habang yakap-yakap si CJ.
