"You really waited here?" Ichan's forehead was crumpled as he opened his unit's door, he looked so sleepy but surprised when he saw me.
"I just got here, wala kasi akong magawa sa hotel kaya nag-stroll na lang ako at dito dumiretso — sabi mo naman pauwi ka na!" I clung onto his arm and sniffed.
I was so bored, I strolled around and bought new clothes while waiting for him. Hindi rin naman ako makatulog at makatahimik lang sa hotel. Mabuti na lang talaga at mukhang nakalimutan na nila Mommy iyong card ko kaya malaya pa rin.
"Sabi ko susunduin kita."
"I know you're tired from your shift kaya ako na lang pumunta!" I giggled and hugged his arm even more, he smells nice. Hindi naman amoy ospital, baka naligo bago umuwi.
I want to walk around with him and eat anywhere but I don't wanna be a bothersome. Kailangan niya rin ng pahinga pagtapos ng duty. Kain na kain pala talaga iyong oras niya sa trabaho, now I can slowly see it with my own eyes.
A smirk played on his lips. "Clingy."
My cheeks heated at the attack of his word as if I've gone overboard, agad akong kumalas sa kanya. Naupo naman siya sa sofa at nagtanggal ng sapatos saka tumingin sa akin.
He sighed while looking at my reaction. "I don't hate it."
I gasped in relief. "Then, what?"
He shrugged as he took off his shirt, he was left with pants only. "Have you eaten lunch?"
"Yup! Ikaw?"
It was bothering, ayaw niya nga siguro ng clingy masyado. Dapat bawasan ko iyon pero sinusulit ko nga iyong pagpunta ko rito, e. Tss, dapat hindi siya nagpabango o ano para hindi ako maadik at mag-cling! Kasalanan niya iyon!
"I did..." he said and pulled me into his room.
He brought me onto his lap as he sat down on the bed and started taking off my Balenciaga sneakers, naiwanan ang mga medyas ko. After that, held on my waist and nuzzled my hair that brought shivers down.
He hummed. "I missed your scent..."
My heart pounded harshly. "Are we gonna make—"
"I want to cuddle," he cut me off lazily in a low voice.
"Sure ka?" biro ko at natatawa kahit wala siyang reaksyon sa sinabi ko, mas nakakatawa iyon.
Is he seriously ignoring that? Maybe, I was just really assuming that he's tigang and something clicked in me — he was probably making out with Chansey kaya hindi siya tigang! Oh my God!
"I'm sleepy, I don't think I can make out right now."
He's bluffing! He's a man but fine, I'll play this one. Ano naman kung nag-make out sila ni Chansey? Labas na ako roon pero... argh! I don't wanna imagine that!
"Wow, parang lugi ka pa!" I retorted.
"Mm, lugi talaga..."
"What?!" I hissed. "On what part? Bakit? Paano?"
He groaned sleepily as he laid on his bed, tumagilid siya at hinila ang kamay ko para isama sa paghiga. I didn't have time to wriggle, he just pushed me down beside him and his thigh on my legs and arm around my waist — caging me.
I gasped and faced him. "You'll sleep on me?! How rude, doc!"
His lips pursed and nodded. "Please, cuddle only. Don't use force on me."
I slapped him softly and laughed.
"Sobrang kapal na ng mukha mo, napunta ka lang dito!"
Antok siyang natawa roon. "So... you really chose me over your ex, Ali, isn't it?"
