Seventeen

Chapter 27

Chapter 27 : "Yellow."

"I am in love with you Meadow Rain Fabiana and please do remember that."

I squeezed my eyes shut as I sniffed Theo's neck. I feel like I'm in a cloud nine right now. Until now I could still hear the loud beating of my heart, it's beating real fast like it's going to come out any moment from my chest. In seventeen years of my life I don't remember being this happy and it's because of this curly haired man.

I just realized one thing after his confession and it's; I may forget everything that we did, every places we've been to, every gifts we had given to each other, but one thing is for sure, I will never forget how he made feel. He made me feel so alive. And it's something that someone can't just easily forget.

I can't believe that I could feel this much towards someone until he came and make me feel so important.

"Nabibigatan ka na ba sa'kin?" I mumbled with my face still buried on his neck.

"Sa payat mong 'yan naasa kang mabigat ka?"

I lightly bit his neck. "Ouch!"

"Buti nga sayo!" Inis 'kong sabi sa kaniya pagkatapos ay inangat 'ko na ang mukha 'ko at medyo inilayo iyon sa kaniyang balikat.

He is carrying me piggyback style, something that I haven't done before. Another addition to our firsts as a couple.

"Bakit mo 'yon ginawa huh?" Itinagilid niya ang ulo niya para makita niya ako pero dahil inilayo 'ko ang mukha 'ko sa balikat niya kahit anong silip niya ay hindi niya makita ng buo ang mukha 'ko.

"For your information Mr. Curly Bangs, hindi ako payat, sexy ang tawag sa'kin."

"Malnourished ang tawag sayo." He said while chuckling.

"Ibaba mo na nga ako."

He shook his head.

"No, Simba."

"Put me down!"

"No way baby. Ang bilis mong mapikon."

Napatigil ako sa pag-galaw para makaalis sa buhat niya nang marinig 'kong tinawag niya akong baby. Holy shit! Out of nowhere I suddenly felt tingling sensation on my stomach.

Huminga ako ng malalim para pigilan ang kagustuhan 'kong tumili at magpagulong-gulong sa sahig. Nang mahimasmasan na ako ay nakaisip ako bigla ng pwedeng pangbawi sa pang-aasar sa akin ni Theo.

"Hey, okay ka lang ba d'yan? Hindi ka na nagsalita.."

I wickedly smile. "Don't worry your baby is just okay." I bit my lower lip to stifle a laugh when I noticed how he choked with his own words after hearing what I just said.

"Hey okay ka lang? C'mon speak to me. Don't make your baby worry."

"Simba stop."

"Stop what?" I innocently asked.

Gusto 'kong maglupasay sa kakatawa nang mapansin 'kong namumula na ang dalawa niyang tenga.

Oh my noodle head is shy.

"Simba.." He sternly said.

Lumapit ako sa balikat niya at nilapat 'ko doon ang kanang bahagi ng mukha 'ko.

"Why baby?"

Hindi 'ko na napigilan pa ang pagtawa 'ko nang makita 'kong pati leeg ni Theo ay namumula na rin. Yes! Nanalo rin ako sa asaran!

"You're enjoying teasing me huh?"

"Very much." I answered him, wiping the side of my eyes using my index finger because I got some tears of joy for laughing hard.
