Like The Stars From Above

CHAPTER 12

Come on, buckle up
It would be a bumpy ride
Prepare for the big lump
Conflict is on its way to strike

I WOKE UP FEELING light and I groan as the sunshine hits my face. I felt a warm feeling behind me and instantly knew it's Terrence. He's asleep while wrapping his arms around me. Humarap ako sa kanya nang hindi siya nagagawang gisingin. He looks innocent while asleep. You wouldn't be able to tell that he's the one who treated me a slave yesterday, neither him as the one whom I had sex last night.

Memories of yesterday flashed in my mind. With us, both naked under the sheets, made my cheeks even red. Right, it happened again. We were too drunk with the pleasure we didn't notice we did it for the second time. Though, I don't regret everything. I'm just too shy to think about it. If ever my recent me known this situation—the days I'm just crushing on this guy—she'll surely go hysterical and too red once she found out.

Ang dami na pa lang nangyari. Parang dati lang ay tinitignan-tignan ko lang ang profile niya. Ngayon... look I just had sex with him last night with a wild ride.

Nagulat ako nang dumilat siya at direktang tumingin ang kanyang mata sa akin. “Watching me while asleep? Should I be glad I'm too good looking that I'm the very first thing you want to see in the morning?”

“Ha-ha. Very funny, Terrence.”

“What? Totoo naman? 'Di ba pinost mo pa—”

“Why are you looking through my past posts just because I gave you my Facebook account?!”

“Nagpapapansin eh. Eh, bored ako sa klase nu'n.”

“Ah, nagpapapansin? Kaya pala pinapansin mo yung mga babae sa messages mo.”

Nagtaka siya nung una pero kaagad dumipensa. “Well, that was before! Why are we even bringing up the past now?”

“You started it.”

“Oh, because you're embarrassed about me knowing you're complimenting me since then? Don't be embarrassed, we're in a relationship now. We even had sex last night—”

“Kakain na ako!” Sinubukan kong umalis sa kama nang hatakin niya ako sa braso pabalik sa kanya. With such force, I tried to get off him but he just tightened his grasp on me. Sa sobrang kakulitan ko siguro ay may naramdaman ako sa likod ko na hindi ko inaasahang maramdaman ko. Naramdaman niya ang aking paninigas at natawa siya in response.

“You're embarrassed, when we all know you're the first one who touched my member the first time around.”

Hindi ko alam kung saan ako nakakuha ng lakas para makawala sa kanya. Either he purposely let go of me para di ko siya mahampas sa inis. Either way, I managed to get out of the bed and went to my drawer to put some clothes on. I just thought, nasa sofa pala kami nang huli kong maalala. Siguro ay nilipat niya kami roon para sa mas komportableng pagtulog.

“Lia. Hey.”

“What? I'm changing.”

“Why need to change when we can just stay this way?”

“Para ano? Gawin ulit natin?”

He laughed. “I mean, why not?” I groaned. Akala ko ay hindi na siya mangungulit nang magpapansin na naman siya. Sa inis ay nilingon ko na siya at nagulat sa ayos niya sa kama. He looks like a model on the bed, only the private part is hidden under the sheet. When he noticed my attention there, he teasingly remove the sheet but before he could entertain me to look for more of his morning glory, my stomach growled. I immediately looked away at nagdadabog na umalis ng kwarto.
