Her Dearest Secret (V Series #2) (#Wattys2019) - COMPLETED

XLI - My Heart Will Never Stop

Veronica's POV

Balot na balot ako sa comforter when I woke up. Even if I'm naked underneath, hindi pa rin ako masyadong nilalamig.

Napangiti ako. The sheets and the pillows, they all smell like Brent. I can still remember clearly what happened last night. Brent was so affectionate and gentle. He held me as if I was the most fragile thing in the world.

I heard the bathroom door opened kaya napalingon ako dun. Brent just came out of the bathroom and he's just wearing a towel to cover the lower part of his body.

"Busog ka na, baby ko?" Napunta sa kanya ang atensyon ko when he said that. I looked at him and saw that he's smiling naughtily. "Katawan ko yata ang gusto mong breakfast eh."

I don't see myself pero naramdaman mo ang pag-init na mukha ko kaya alam kong namumula na ako ngayon.

"Hindi kaya. Akala mo naman hot ka." I tried to joke pero parang hindi effective. Hindi na kasi ako makatingin sa katawan niya.

He scoffed. "Bakit hindi ba? Kung makahaplos ka nga sa dibdib at abs ko kagabi. . ."

"Ugh! Stop it!" Nahihiya tuloy ako sa mga ginawa ko kagabi.

Lumapit siya sa akin bago niya ako niyakap. "Joke lang naman, baby ko. Nagalit ka naman agad."

I ignored him kaya mas lalo niyang hinigpitan ang yakap niya sa akin.

"Sorry na. 'Wag ka na magalit sa baby mo." He said then planted small kisses on my face. "I'll cook for our breakfast. Anong gusto mo."

"Anything's fine. Basta 'wag sunog." I joked.

"Yes, master chef." Sabi niya naman at nag-salute pa. "I'll change first then I'll cook na."

Nagulat naman ako when I saw na parang tatanggalin niya ang towel niya sa harap ko.

"Gosh, Brent! You'll change in front of me?!" Gulat na tanong ko bago pa niya tuluyang matanggal ang towel niya.

He chuckled. "Para namang hindi mo pa nakita 'to."

Oo nga naman. But still. . .

"Eh kasi. . ." I trailed off not knowing what to say.

"Eh kasi what?"

Natawa ako sa iniisip ko bago ako sumagot sa kanya. "Baka kung saan na naman tayo mapunta."

Natawa rin siya. "Well, that depends on you. Basta susunod lang ako sa gusto mong gawin."

He walked toward me and leaned down so he can kiss me. I kissed him back. And in that moment, I realized that I can't wait to have more mornings like this with him.

He let out a sexy chuckle when we parted. "Kunwari ka pang ayaw mo."

"Shut up." I retorted and rolled my eyes playfully. He leaned down once again to kiss me.

Then we made love again.

Nakapagluto na ng breakfast si Brent when I got out from the shower.

"Masakit pa?" He asked.

"Uhm, yeah." I was still a bit sore kanina then we did it again so it still hurts.

Lumapit siya sa akin then enveloped me in a hug. He planted a kiss on the top of my head. "I'm sorry. I should've been more gentle."

Napatingin ako sa kanya. "Hindi ka pa ba gentle nun?"

"Hmm. . . Pero sorry pa rin. If I can only take away that pain, I'll do it."

"Ang OA naman ng boyfriend ko." I commented, sniffing his scent from his chest. "That's normal, baby. And besides, you're worth the pain."
