Till There Was You

Picture

A/N:

Nabalitaan ko

Nagbabadya ang trailer

May dalang masamang balita

Sa mga tagahanga.

Sisira sa storyline,

Sa character development

At sa ilang buwang ginugol

na umaasa na sana

palayain ang halik

ni Jade at Althea.

Pero mukhang ang hopia

ay sasabog sa ating mga mukha

dahil mauunsiyami

at sa iba mapupunta.

Heto na lang muna ang i-enjoy ninyo.

Ang aking munting alay.

I woke up to the blaring sound of the siren from a distance.

The surprise from the sound was nothing compared to the realization that Althea was sleeping soundly beside me.

She was lying on her stomach with her face turned to me and she looked so peaceful.

I swept a strand of stray hair away from her face and stared.

The last time someone was sleeping beside me was ages ago and that was with David.

I think it was during the last day of final exams during our sophomore year in college and we decided to hang out with friends, his friends, and we got so drunk that we ended up in his place.

Nothing happened though.

Kahit gustong-gusto ako ni David, thankfully, hindi naman niya ako pinipilit when it comes to sex.

Hindi ko talaga feel and I was clear about it with him.

Kahit reluctant siya about my terms, nag-agree naman.

Althea crinkled her nose and then kinamot niya ito.

Napangiti ako and then she went back to sleep.

I turned to check what time it was and saw that it was only 6:15 in the morning.

Ganunpaman, maliwanag na sa labas.

For sure, matindi na naman ang init ng panahon.

I laid on my back and just stared at the white ceiling at sa crystal chandelier with the butterflies.

A few seconds later, merong pumasok na idea sa isip ko and I went downstairs to get my phone.

Nasa purse ko pa din ito and I went back up after ko ito kunin.

I took pictures of me with Althea.

Kumuha ako ng pagkadami-daming selfie and all that time, hindi man lang ito gumising.

Afterwards, tiningnan ko isa-isa ang mga pictures namin.

Since tulog siya, hindi nagbago ang pose nito.
