Our Ending [OUR SERIES #1]

CHAPTER 32

'Baby, I told you already to wear our engagement ring. Why aren't you wearing this?'

__

I sighed heavily and laid sideways, watching Kris peacefully sleeping. Kaka akyat lang namin, nauna siyang naligo at pagkalabas ko sa banyo ay himbing na siya. Hindi pa man natutuyo ang buhok niya ay nakatulog na. 

Inayos ko ang iilang hibla ng buhok na napupunta sa mukha niya at nilagay iyon sa likod ng tenga niya. She must be tired, dahil hindi man lang siya naggising nang sumabit ang buhok niya sa daliri ko at aksidente ko iyong nahila. 

"You're so beautiful." I mumbled. "I hope I'll spend the rest of my life with you." Dugtong ko. 

"Can we talk?" Mahinang sambit niya kaya napangiti ako. 

"I thought you're asleep." 

"Sana. Nagising ako sa amoy mo." She honestly replied. 

I can feel the calmness and the normal beating of my heart. Normal iyon, ngunit ramdam kong may kakaiba sa tibok ng puso ko. 

"I'm sorry." I apologized softly, almost a whisper.

"No, it's fine." Sumama ang mukha niya nang sinubukan niyang umupo at sumandal sa headboard ng kama ko. Agad ko siyang inalalayan. 

"Okay ka lang ba?" Nag aalalang tanong ko. 

"Masakit yung katawan ko." 

"Hmm? What do you want to talk about?" 

"You… and Dhayne." Seryoso akong ngumiti saka umiling. 

"No. We're not talking about Dhayne and me. Tapos na kami-" 

"Kaya mo ba ipinagtanggol si Dhayne sa family ko nung napahamak ako sa resort kasi ayaw mong mapahamak siya?" Deretsang tanong niya. 

Tinitigan ko siya, nakikiramdam kung seryoso ba siya sa tanong niyang iyon. I didn't see any hint of playfulness within her face. I can only see beauty. 

Umiling ako. "Untrue." Huminga ako ng malalim saka binalikan ang araw na iyon. "I promised your family to protect you from any harm. And if something bad happens to you, they'll take you away from me. I told them na kasalanan ko because I don't want them to think that I failed to protect you from anyone. I admitted it with the fear of losing you. Ayokong mawala ka sa paningin ko."

"You only feel responsible for me? Until now?" 

"Kris, no. Forgive me if my words and actions made you think that I feel responsible towards you."

"You stole my first kiss." 

"You seduced me." 

"Excuse me? Sa pagkakaalam ko, nakaupo lang ako sa toilet bowl non." 

"Exactly, you did nothing but I got tempted. What power do you have?" 

"Tsk, manyak ka lang eh." 

"Baby, no." I hardly protested.

"Hindi raw. Pero nakadalawa kanina. Ang expert mo, hindi mo first time 'no?" She was about to explode, waiting for my response. 

"Tsk, of course it's my first time." 

"Eh bakit ang expert mo?" 

"Nanonood ako ng tutorial." 

"What?!" I chuckled dahil galit na naman siya. 

"Joke. I admit that you're not my first kiss but you're the first person I made love with, baby." I answered seriously while looking directly at her eyes.
