Winning Hurricane

XXIII- Myocardium

Binaba ko ang libro ko saglit hanggang sa ilalim ng mga mata ko para tumingin kay Hurricane. Kanina pa siyang tahimik. Nakakapanibago talaga.

His brows furrowed, his lips were slightly moving from memorizing quietly. This is one of the few moments na he's really serious and looks very intimidating. Kung ganyan lamang siya ka-seryoso noon siguro matagal ko na siyang gusto but well, whatever, he's my only crush and boyfriend now.

I blinked and straightened nang bigla siyang mapatingin sakin. Damn, nahuli niya akong pinapanood siya!

Slowly, his lips formed a curve. He's smiling now as he gave me a wink. Inikutan ko lang siya ng mata bago binalik ang tingin kay Williams, my Ob book. After a couple of minutes hindi ko mapigilan hindi ulit siya silipin. Argh! He's back with his codal again.

Ganito ba nararamdaman niya kapag hindi ko siya pinapansin tuwing mag-kasama kami dahil sa pag-aaral? Gusto ko ulit kulitin niya ako or tabihan man lang but nothing. Ugh! I am turning clingy, am I?

I just miss him. Hindi kami madalas mag-date, yong ilan pa sa dates namin dito lamang sa condo. Delivery food and one movie then pag-uusapan namin yong napanood namin like a freaking review before heading back to study na ulit. I just recently found out na may mine maintain na grades si Hurricane and one of his goals is to top the Bar. So I really do understand nang bigla talagang wala kaming masyadong oras.

Almost every day nagkikita kami para lang mag-aral. It's fine. Actually, focus ko din naman ay studies ko.

At least, nagkikita kami.

I heaved a sigh as I rested my head on the headrest of my couch; maybe I am just too stressed. I should take a nap nalang kesa mang-istorbo kay Hurricane.

Wala pang ilang minuto akong nakapikit nang maramdaman ko ang pag-dampi ng labi niya sa pisngi ko.

I opened my eyes and met his gaze; He softly smiled as he tucked a few strands of my hair behind my ear. We stayed looking at each other's eyes for a few more minutes, thinking nothing just appreciating the damn beautiful view before he stooped down to kiss my jaw.

Isa pa to, hindi naman sa nag-mamadali ako ha? Pero he's kissing me anywhere in my face except for my lips! Like, hindi ba siya marunong or what? Ilang months na kaming mag-on kaya.

Ugh, Chandy you're too stressed!

"You hungry love?"

I looked at my watch. It's 12 midnight already. "Apparently,"

He chuckles before helping me stand up. Kinapa niya ang bulsa niya bago bumalik papunta sa upuan niya kanina para kuhanin ang wallet sa bag niya.

He smiled at me as he extended his arm, offering his hand to me. I accepted it before grabbing his hoodie na nasa couch at sinuot, sniffing it secretly. I really do love his scent, not just his perfume. But the mixture of his body and perfume scent. Ang bango!

"Tapos ka na sa readings mo?" I asked nang makalabas kaming elevator.

"Break time and you really looks so stressed."

"Sinabe mo pa."

He chuckles as he squeezed my hand. I smiled at him.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Ice-cream." I said already heading to the freezer as we entered the convenience store. "Ikaw?" I asked, getting a solo pack.

"Make it two, babe."

"Okay."

He let go of my hand, hinayaan ko lamang siya nang makuha ko ang flavor na gusto niya inikot ko ang tingin ko kung saan siya nag-punta. Sumunod ako kung nasaan si Hurricane. He's standing by the row of chocolates.
