Beast Love

Chapter 12

Sleepless

Tyrone's happily eating his burger and fries.I smiled at that thought that he's easy to please and didn't complain about the food that served in front of him.

Viktor is too quite while eating but his eyes didn't leave on his son.Napaismid ako.Is he wondering how Tyrone's been made? Did he already accept the fact that he's already a father? Is he in a relationship? I wanted to ask him that but not in front of our son.

"Do you have a passport?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Our son have one too?"

Umiling ako."Mine's already expired and Tyrone didn't have one.Why?"

"You both get a passport.How long is the process?"

"A week."

He nodded."Get it in a week.You're both coming with me."

Pinaningkitan ko sya ng mga mata.Hindi na nakapagtataka kung saan nakuha ni Tyrone ang pagiging bossy at demanding nito,may pinagmanahan eh.

"You just don't demand here what i'm going to do without telling me the reason.Besides,i can't leave the country.I have work. "

Sinulyapan nito si Tyrone na abala sa fries nya.
"I'll introduce him to my family.My father want to meet him too.If you can't come with us,it's fine.I can manage him without you."

Napasinghap ako."What? You can't bring my son without me! Magkakamatayan muna tayo!"

Kunot noo na lumingon si Tyrone sa akin."Did you and Dad is fighting?"

Sunod sunod ang iling ko.Hindi ko malaman kung ano ang sasabihin ko.Ubos na ang kanyang pagkain kaya sinabihan ko itong maghugas ng kamay at magpalit ng damit.Sumunod naman ito ng tinawag ni Lerah.

Nakita ko ang pag angat ng gilid ng labi nito.Yung makasalanan nyang labi.Napairap ako sa sarili ko.

"So,you're coming with us?"

"What about my work?"
I can't just give up my work.I am paying everything now to raise my child.

He grinned at me."Resign or take a leave."

Napabuga ako ng hangin ng wala sa oras."You're unbelievable."

Mahinang tumawa ito."I know."

Nilagay ko sa lababo ang mga pinagkainan namin at sinimulan itong hugasan.Life is really complicated if you mix everything in it.Napanguso ako.What's his plan? Hindi nya naman kukinin ang anak ko sa akin,di kaya? Aba,kapag ginawa nya yun ha-huntingin ko sya kahit saang parte pa sya ng kontinente ng mundo,kahit magtago pa sya sa makapal na balbas ni Santa sa North Pole.

"You're thinking too much."

"How can i not think if you appear suddenly and saying that you have a son?"

Sumandal ito sa labado at nakapamulsa."Did you...did you search for me the next day when you wake up?"

I know what he's talking about.

"Yes.I was thinking you were sleeping somewhere and maybe you'll miss the plane,so i ask the reception about you."

Tumango tango ito.

"Did you look for me after that?"

"No.How can i find a person where you don't know where to find? Why would i search a person who fly away after that? It looks like a one night stand to you...so i leave it that way.When i found out that i was pregnant,i was confused and actually i don't know what to do.I don't have any friends here so i don't know who i talk to.Then Zoey came and offer me this place."

Nakita ko ang pagtagis ng bagang nito.Galit sya?

"What about your parents? Why you didn't stay with them?"

Natigilan ako sa tanong na yun.Matagal na rin ng huli kong nakita at nakausap ang mga magulang ko.Are they okay? Hindi ko na rin kinontak ang mga kapatid ko.Hindi naman siguro pinabayaan ang mga magulang namin?

I sighed."I don't want to stress myself over things that i can't put it back.I have a child to worry about that time so i stay away from hassle and stress."

"They're mad at you cause i got you pregnant?"

Hindi ako umimik.I guess silence means yes to me.I don't want to deny it cause it's gonna be a lie,and i don't want to confirm either.

"Aren't you going home? It's late already."

"I'll stay here for tonight."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko.Ano?

"You're making decision without asking me first.Are you always like that?"

"Hmm...i'll stay here."

"You can't!"

"Why not?"
Ang kapal talaga ng kalyo nito sa mukha.

Awang ang bibig ko at hindi makasagot sa kanyang sinabi.My mind is not working right now.

There's only two rooms in Zoey's place - yung kwarto na inokopa ni Zoey at ang kwartong inokopa namin ni Tyrone.Saan sya matutulog?

Hinahaplos ni Viktor ang mukha ni Tyrone at hinalikan sa noo.

"I won't sleep in the living room."

Paano nya nalaman ang iniisip ko?

"And where do you plan to sleep?"

He unbotton his polo one by one then...
"Here."

"We're not all fit in this bed."

Nagkibit balikat ito.He pulled out his phone and talked to someone.Maya maya ay narinig kong may nag doorbell.Lumabas ito ng kwarto at may bitbit na duffel bag.

Aba,daig pa nito ang boy scout na magka-camping.Laging ready.

"I'll go in the bathroom first?"

Tumango ako ng wala sa sarili.Humingi ako ng dalawang comforter at unan kay Lerah para gawing sapin sa sahig at ikukumot ang isa.Hinanda at inayos ko na ang higaan at agad nagbanyo pagkalabas nito.Sa loob ng banyo ako nagbihis at hindi ko maiwasan ang hindi mag isip kung bakit umabot kami sa ganitong sitwasyon ngayon.

"What the..."

Tyrone's not in the bed.Sya yung nakapwesto sa baba ng kama kung saan nakahanda yung comforter na higaan na para sana kay Viktor.

"He'll sleep here."
Pumuwesto pa talaga ito sa pwesto sana ni Tyrone.Na katabi ko.

"Says who? And why you'll sleep here? You can sleep there or go back to your hotel."

Mapungay ang kanyang mga matang tumingin sa akin."Babe,i've travel for 13 hours all the way here and i didn't sleep.I'm tired."

Mukha nga itong pagod at inaantok ang mga mata nitong nakatingin sa akin."Huh? Kasalanan ko?"

Inirapan ko ito at pumuwesto na sa tabi nito.How can i sleep tonight with a temptation beside me,hindi ko alam.Nakaka-distract ang pagta-topless nito at ang suot nitong boxer short.Makasalanan talaga tong mata ko dahil kung saan saang naglalakbay ang utak ko.

Nagulat ako ng hinila nya ako at pinaunan sa braso nito habang ang isang braso ay nasa bewang ko at ang mukha nito ay nakapahinga sa leeg ko.

Nananadya ba talaga ang pagkakataon na to? Paano na ang beauty rest ko ngayong gabi? It's gonna be a long sleepless night.
