Every Moment with You

CHAPTER 6

He looked so peaceful in his sleep and I can see that he really is tired. His lips are slightly parted and I can see a perfect set of white teeth. His lips looked so soft and very enticing. I smiled thinking that I needed to kiss those luscious lips to wake him up. Oh how would those lips taste like?

Napailing ako at muling bumalik sa ginagawa ko. Ng muli akong napatingin sa relos ay lampas alas sais na ng gabi. Tinapos ko na ang ginagawa ko. Tumawag ako sa bahay at sinabihan ko ang yaya ko na maghanda ng masarap na hapunan para sa aming dalawa. Mas maigi kung sa bahay na lang kami maghahapunan para makapagpahinga na si Eniel ng mas maaga.

Lumapit ako kay Eniel. Marahan kong niyugyog ang balikat niya para gisingin siya. Umungol lang ito subalit hindi nagising. Tinampal ko ng mahina ang braso nito pero hindi pa rin ito gumigising. Bigla naisip ko na baka nga hindi ito nagbibiro na kelangan ko siyang halikan para magising. Ano ito? Sleeping beauty at ako ang prinsipe? Nakangiti ako habang napapailing. Medyo nilakasan ko na ang pagyugyog sa balikat ni Eniel.

"Eniel ano ba, gising na. Gabi na. Pag di ka gumising dyan, iiwanan kita dito sa opisina ko," medyo malakas na ang boses ko.

Umungol si Eniel at unti-unti ay dumilat ang mga mata. Halata ang antok sa mga mata niya.

"Hi," binigyan niya ako ng napakatamis na ngiti paggising niya. "I told you to kiss me on the lips to wake me up. Mahirap akong gisingin at kiss lang ang gumigising sa 'kin," pupungas-pungas siya habang bumabangon at nag-iinat.

"Hey you are not a character in a Disney film ok?" kunwari naiinis kong tugon pero kinikilig ako sa isiping gusto niyang magpahalik sa 'kin. It sounded so romantic. "Halika na nga, uwi na tayo."

"Oh iuuwi mo na ako ngayon? I haven't accepted your offer for me to move in with you yet," his voice full of humor.

"Pwede ba Mr. Gonzales, I decided that we just have our dinner at home para hindi mo na kelangan magdrive pauwi," at kinuha ko ang purse ko.

"Which reminds me, pwede ba makisabay sa'yo? Nagpahatid lang ako from the airport to here. I don't have my car."

"Sure." At lumabas na kami ng opisina ko at diretso sa elevators.

He stood awfully close to me and I can feel all of him inside the constraints of the elevator. He held my hand and I liked him holding my hand. Inside the elevators, I can see multiple women stealing glances at the perfect specimen of a man beside me. But Eniel seemed oblivious of the attention that he's getting from the women around him. He kept on looking at me and I would see him smile broadly every time I look at him. Sometimes, he would kiss my hair and pull me closer to him.

Outside the building, he opened the door for me and let me in the car. Before turning around and entering the other side of the car.

"Diretso na tayo sa condo Kuya Mario," sabi ko sa driver.

"Sige po Ma'am."

Tumabi si Eniel sa 'kin at kinuha niya ulit ang kamay ko. Then gently rubs my knuckles using his thumb. This simple contact sends shivers south of my body. And I still can't fathom why my body is reacting this way to this man beside me.

"What did you do in New York," I started to break the silence between us.

"We are working on a partnership with one of the major networks there. We are planning to include them as part of the cable programming here," then he kissed my knuckles after finishing his answer.

"Was it successful?" hiding my blushing face by the sweet gesture that he just made.

"We have been working with this deal for over six months now, and I think we finally closed the deal with them."
