UNIVERSITY SERIES: TOTGA EDITION

Kabanata 10

As soon as I get out from the shower, I heard his soft snore. Natawa ako habang tinutuyo ang buhok ko ng towel, I just wear a yellow chiffon dress that is above the knee, and I'll just dry up my hair and let it fall.

I walked silently towards him, He definitely look out of place in my room, a tall lean man lying in my pink small bed.

Yumuko ako at saglit siyang pinagmasdan na himbing sa pagtulog. There's a dark circles underneath his deep eyes that is only visible when you look at him closer. His pointed nose that perfectly defined by his chiseled jaw, and his broad eyebrows that makes him more damn attractive, and well his red lips.

Umatras ako ng konti, gwapo sadya.

Inayos ko ang unan niya bago nagdirestso ako sa tapat ng dresser, I just put a light make-up to defined my soft features, bago nagdampi ng pink lipstick. My lips is soft pink, but I just loved it whenever I put one. I was drying my hair, when I saw him in the mirror moved a bit.

Naupo siya sa Kama, at kinusot ang matang lumingon sakin.

"Are you done?" He asked in his bed room voice, ngumiti ako sa kanya salamin habang sinusuklay na lang ang buhok ko,

He stand up from my bed,and even stretched his arms bago lumapit sakin sa tapat ng dresser. I saw his eyes drifted to my body and then to my face,

"Do you always look like that?"

Kumunot ang noo ko, at huminto sa pagbabrush ng buhok, at tinitigan siya sa salamin.

"Look what?"

"look gorgeous," he smoothly said, naibaba ko ang brush, at pakiramdam ko namula ang mukha ko.

He chuckled as he saw my expression, kinuha niya ang brush at siya na mismo ang nagsuklay ng dulo kong buhok sa likod. I smiled upon watching him in the mirror combing my hair gently,

"Okay na." Ani ko dahil wala ata siyang balak matapos sa pagsususklay sakin. He smiled as he handed me the brush. Nilagay ko yun sa drawer, bago tuluyang tumayo.

Nagkatinginan kami, hanggang balikat lang niya ko, at kapag wala akong suot na pumps ay lalo akong nagiging maliit sa kanya.

"Tara na," hinawakan ko ang kamay niya, pero lumundag ang puso ko ng hilahin niya ko at bumagsak sa dibdib niya.

"Casper," saway ko dahil baka maabutan kami ni Mama sa ganitong tayo, tumaas ang kilay niya at nanatiling seryoso ang tingin sakin.

"What?" painosente nitong tanong sakin, Casper's hand rested on the small of my back angd even pulled me closer. I held on his chest to stop him, but it's half-heartedly because even if I wanted to stop him, ay nanghina ako ng lumapat ang labi niya sa labi ko.

He crouched low, and tilted his head for a better access. Napahawak ako sa tshirt niya ng maramdaman ang paglalim ng halik niya sakin.

He stopped, and my cheeks turned as he faced me with sleepy eyes.

"I love you," he whispered huskily and smiled playfully at me. Muli kong inayos ang lipstick ko, at hinila na siya pababa.

We came at the St. Evangelist Church by 10am, Our hands are intertwined as we sit in the middle. Hindi na ganon ka tao, siguro dahil sa 7-8 am na mass, mas okay na rin dahil mas solemn kapag kakaonti at tahimik.

The mass started with their usual Unang pagbasa, Sinulyapan ko si Casper na tahimik sa tabi ko at nakikinig. I smiled as I put back my attention to Father who's speaking infront, Nanenermon ito tungkol sa mga kabataang maaga napapariwara ng landas, na ika niya'y dahil yun nakalimutan na natin ang panginoon.
