Chorale Series 1: Cameron Suazon

CHAPTER4

I'm still feeling so sleepy nang may maramdaman akong bahagyang yumuyugyog ng aking balikat. I slowly opened my eyes at kinusot kusot pa at ang bumungad saakin ay ang kanyang napakagwapo't napaka maamong mukha.

The face of the man I love.

"We're here, Cammy." He smiled saka tinapik tapik ang aking ulo saka bahagyang umatras para makagalaw ako. Siya na rin ang nagtanggal ng Seatbelt ko.

Pagkatapos niya itong alisin ay kaagad itong lumabas at pumunta saaking side saka ako pinagbuksan ng pinto.

How sweet of him.

"Thanks." I smiled at him pagkalabas ko ng kanyang sasakyan. Ngumiti ito ulit saakin at naramdaman ko ang panlalambot ng aking mga tuhod.

His smiles will be the death of me, for real.

Inilibot libot ko ang aking paningin dahil hindi ako pamilyar sa lugar na kinaroroonan namin ngayon.

I turned my gaze at him at nakitang kanina pa pala ito nakatitig saakin. "Where are we?"

"At my condo."

Napakunot ako ng noo. "Why?" I clearly said I'll look for a condo to stay at.

"You said you needed a condo to stay at." Bahagya nitong iginilid ang ulo't iponamulsa ang kanyang mga kamay. And I swear to God! He looks so handsomely cool with that!

Crap! I need to focus. Baka makahalata siya, nakakahiya.

***

"Are you hungry?" I asked. Patungo kami sa condo ngayon at napakatahimik niya so here I am trying to break the silence pero hindi talaga siya sumasagot and I can't take my eyes off of the road.

She forbids me to do so as it's dangerous kaya initabi ko na muna ang sasakyan. Akala ko magsasalita siya pero wala talaga so I turned my gaze to her and then there, I saw her sleeping so peacefully.

She's so magically gorgeous that I'd literally risk everything for her. God knows how much I love her.

I unbuckle my seatbelt at lumapit sakanya para mas matitigan siya, para muling isaulo ang mga kaunting pagbabago nang kanyang facial features. Some says that she's not perfect - I'll kill those who said those to her recent post. But she's literally the most beautiful Goddess woman I've ever seen and I know for sure na wala nang tatapat sakanya.

I could literally do this all day, just staring at her. Then an idea hit my mind. Inilabas ko ang aking cellphone mula sa aking pitaka at kinuhanan siya ng litrato.

I was giggling at how cute she looked in it when suddenly she moved and that made me freeze.

Did she notice me? Hope not.

Bumuntong hininga ako't hinalikan siya sa noo bago muling isinuot ang seatbelt at bumyahe papunta saaking condo.

Tutal hindi naman na ganoon kalayo ang aking condo mula sa pinag stop over-an kanina ay inabot lamang kami ng ilang minuto bago nakarating. And as I expected, tulog pa rin siya. She's always been like that, heavy sleeper.

"Yeah I know that I'm looking for a condo where I could stay but I didn't say naman na sa place mo!?" Pagmamaktol nito. Medyo namumula na ang kanyang mga pisngi. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ina allergy ulit siya sa taas ng tirik nang araw o galit na siya.

"Ayaw mo ba? Bigay ko pa sana ng libre." I shrugged my shoulders.

I'm so brilliant! I know her, too well. Kahit gaano pa siya kayaman, super tipid neto't pumapatol lagi sa libre kaya alam ko, nakakapanigurado akong hindi niya ako matatanggihan.
