Like It

And go sit on the bed because I know that you want to.

You've got pretty eyes, but I know you're wrong.

My eyes automatically opened hearing the music, silently roaring through walls. Napaupo kaagad ako sa kama. I rubbed my eyes, finding myself sitting on a stranger's bed, inside a large bedroom, and seeing the skyscrapers from the glass wall. Napalunok ako sa ganda ng view na aking nakikita. That is shit! I feels like I could reach these towers. It sooo beautiful and amazing! I couldn't berate my experience here so far. The view is so fucking great. Thanks, NY!

Yeah, if you wanna find love then you know where the city is.

My attention averted to the song playing on the background. Mahina man ngunit rinig na rinig ko ito. I can tell what song is this, because it is from my favorite band. I know every darn lyrics. Thank gods, it is the first thing woke me up even my head is fucking cowering. My drinks last night were all mixed up, it sucks. Hindi ko napigil ang aking sarili. But still, I think, I am safe somehow, being here.

Bumuntong hininga ako at inayos ang aking sarili. I still could smell Sebastian Kurt Ferranco's scent on my skin because of his tee-shirt. I found myself, curving my lips, but I stopped. I removed the morning glories on my eyes. Kinapa ko ang aking mukha. Since, he is not here in his room, he's the one playing the song, or maybe, he's not. Probably, one of his girls is here? Or his parents? Or friends? I don't know but guessing the instances make my heart beat pounds inside my freaking ribcage. I want to breathe!

Do not over think, Lana.

Over thinking leads more to a freaking problem. So, don't.

"I will thank him for making me stay in his room then I will go," sabi ko sa aking sarili.

Mula sa repleksyon sa glass wall, nakikita ko aking itsura. Kinda messy hair, kaya sinuklay ko ito. Maayos naman ang aking mukha. I exhaled, smell my breath and I wince slightly. Madadaanan ko naman ang banyo ng unit niya bago ako makarating sa pinaka-sala, e. Don't worry about your breath, little mermaid! Swim!

I breathed a sigh.

Tumayo ako at inayos ang lukot-lukot kong kasuotan. Inamoy ng pasimple ang gray shirt niya pagkatapos inayos ang puti kong shorts. Muntik ng maging dress ang damit niya sa akin, pero kapag inayos ko ang aking tayo, kita pa rin naman ang pambaba ko. Ugh, this is so cute. I licked my bottom lip, smiling.

I wish I could turn my hair into a messy bun. Pero wala naman akong pampusod. Sad, mermaid.

"Go, go, go, Lana," I cheered myself as I started walking. "Thank him for his kindness. Thank him for being hospitable. Thank him for everything...even for his kiss." I bit my lip, when blood rushed on my face. I am totally blushing, remembering my kisses toward him. Oh, gods, he tasted so good and warm. Maybe, that will be the best kiss I will ever experience. His lips so soft against my pair. I will never forget kissing those lips. It is so remarkable though.

Natagpuan ko ang kanyang bathroom at mabilis na kumilos doon. Muntik ko ng kunin ang toothbrush niya, pero pinigilan ko ang sarili ko. A remembrance, you know. That I find this guy totally unforgettable. He is so courageous, answering all my stupid question...my curiosity. He's rare, fucking gods. Pikit mata akong lumabas ng banyo at dumiretso na. Sa bawat hakbang, walang raso na kumakabog ang aking dibdib. My steps never faltered on the floor because, hello, I am bare feet.

Pigil hiningang hinanap ko kung saan nagmumula ang tunog. I found myself making my way to the kitchen. And I saw a god, standing and at the same time focused on answering a phone call. Nakatalikod ito sa akin kaya ang malapad niyang likod ang aking nakikita. In every breath, I could see the firmness of his back. I am freaking touched those stones. Damn it! My hands craving for more!
