                                                        KARA

"The best kiss is the one that has been exchanged a thousand times between the eyes before it reaches the lips."

Nagising ako ng di oras  which wasn’t surprising kasi ganito ako pag may fever, bigla-biglang nagigising. I let my eyes wander and register the room; I knew it wasn’t Teddy who carried me all the way up here. Mas babae naman yun sa akin. So, baka si Qen.

Oh shit!!!!

Speaking of Qen!!! I let him kiss me!  Omygod!!!He kissed me. And I passed out!

Nagpagulung-gulong ako sa kama. Kara naman. Why make a fool out of yourself in front of Qen?

When I felt that someone was trying to open the door, I pulled the blanket up to cover my whole face and pretended I was in a deep slumber. Yung sound pa lang ng footsteps nya, I knew it was Qen.

Naramdaman kong may inilagay sya sa bedside table. It must be the soup I was trying to cook a while ago. Nakakahiya. =__= Ako nagluto tapos ako pa pala kakain. Epic fail. I CAN’T EVEN.

Qen then slowly brought his hand to my forehead, still trying to find out whether the temperature went down or remained high. I heard him heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank God, you’re okay now. You almost gave me a heart attack kanina.” Sabi nya. Teka lang, what? Since when did he become this lousy caring man off cam? :|

Tapos I felt him lean a little. He was getting closer, dangerously closer. And my heart was beating wildly. Pakiramdam ko, sasabog na ako anytime soon. He pulled the cover out of my face tapos ako naman hirap na hirap na tuloy sa pagpretend na tulog na tulog. He picked a few strands of my hair which was all over my face and tucked it behind my ear. “Good night.” He said and kissed me once again, this time, on my forehead.

Aba, nakakailan na 'to a! Lokong to!

I heard Qen retreated toward the door.

"No – wait." And then I moved. ". . . Stay."

Qen paused, looking down at me. Then, letting out a laugh, he said, “What?”

"I said, stay. Stay," I told him. “with me.” Drawing the large blanket down on my right, I held it out – waiting for Qen to get in. “Kara, I…” he said, almost embarrassed. Tapos kinuha ko yung pillow and threw it across his face.

“What the hell, Kara?”

“Hoy, Qen Cervantes, umayos ka nga! Wag ngang green utak mo!” I yelled tapos he looked down, embarrassed. And then I rolled my eyes. Not everything is about sex. Haynako.

“Just stay with me.” I said again, this time much louder and much clearer.

For a while he didn't move at all. He just simply looked down at me, as if he couldn't believe what I was doing. I couldn't even believe what I was doing. Get in before I change my mind stupid. But there was no turning back.

Slowly, Qen lowered himself onto the bed. Moving his feet underneath the covers first, he finally slid in all the way; I drew the covers back up to our shoulders – covering us underneath.

Because I was already lying on my left side, when Qen turned on his right we both stared right at each other. Moving a strand of hair out of my face, I smiled at him. Up close he was even more gorgeous; his facial structures looked even more defined at this angle. However bold it was to sleep in the same bed with him, this close, it didn't bother me at all.
