Stay With Me

Shockness

5:04 A.M. - B r i a n a 's P.O.V

I woke up from my slumber when I felt someone kissing my neck. I already knew who it was... the soft and gentle kisses he placed. The soft, plumpy lips... Sayoko.

"Good morning..." I nonchalantly whispered. He smiled and pecked my lips. I am now wearing a big green hoodie and only on my underwear, no shorts.

"How's your sleep?" He went on top of me and kissed my cheeks. Shit naman. Ang aga aga tapos ang landi landi!

"Peaceful. Not until you started kissing me." Sagot ko at niyakap ang leeg niya. Sorry self, I'm inlove with this man already.

And it hasn't been two months yet.

"Sorry... do you still wanna sleep?" Umiling ako sa tanong niya. Agad siyang ngumiti at tinulungan akong bumangon sa kama. Binuhat niya ako na ikinagulat ko.

"Sayoko!" I shouted. He gave me a teasing grin.

"Don't worry, our memory at the beach is pure hidden. Walang bakas na may ginawa tayo roon, everyone wouldn't noticed." Natatawa niyang saad. Namula ako sa sinabi niya at umiwas ng tingin.

"My spaghetti is so cute when she's blushing. Makes me want to pinch her cheeks."

"Don't you dare." I glared at him. Tumawa lang ang loko at buhat buhat akong nilabas ng bahay. It's still a little dark and nobody is still here, maybe they planned on going here at the afternoon.

"We're going to watch the sunrise." He whispered. Inupo  niya ako sa sun lounger at naupo naman siya sa buhangin. I felt his hand caressing my thigh, I gently caressed his blonde fluffy hair.

Slowly, the darkness started to dim, the sun is slowly rising. I felt a euphoric feeling when I saw the sun rising, A feeling of happiness and safety. All because of Sayoko Takahashi...

"The sunrise never fails to amaze me." Sayoko squeezes my hand. "You know, the very first day I saw you, you're like a sun ready to rise and set. You were my light from the darkness and emptiness inside me. You filled me with every smile you plastered on your face. Even though I'm not the reason of your smiles, I was happy seeing you happy. At first, I scolded myself for liking you. I never really knew I'd fall for you at first sight. So I confirmed myself by bullying you, it's my way of speaking to you." He paused and looked up to me. I stared at his deep emerald eyes and cupped his cheeks.

I'm starting to feel emotional again. Why didn't I noticed that? The way he bullies me for no reasons, the visiting on weekends, the pranks and the misheard words.

"I hate spaghettis." He cupped my cheeks and smiled. "But now I love it. At my culinary class, I'd always suggest spaghetti. I tried so hard to learn how to cook that specially. And I've mastered it. I graduated after spending the time learning how to cook, until I started my Sakura Restaurant that is I got from Naoko." He gently pulled my nape closer to him.

"I love you, Briana Mendoza, you're my light, my baby, and my spaghetti." He softly kissed my lips and I kissed him back. The sun has fully risen and out of nowhere someone cleared their throat. Agad kaming naghiwalay ni Sayoko.

"Ganyan na pala magbati ang magkaaway noon." si Amber na tumatawa. Sila Queenie naroon din pati sila Isaac at Riley habang natatawa sa itsura namin. I swear! Masasakal ko sila!
