CHAPTER 7
I arched my back when he kissed me on my chest. He looks so incredibly handsome while he does that to my body. We were very naked in this very wide bed. My breath hitches when his large hands reach my feminity slowly and rubbed it in a most insanely way.
Hindi ko alam kung saan kakapit dahil sa hindi mapaliwanag na dahilan.The pleasure was too much and I can’t help to moan loudly.
“Ohh!”
He chuckled at my reaction.
“Sounds to my ears..”
He said at licked my neck sensually. His kisses stay longer in there while my arms are circling around his neck, pushing him so much to me. Alam kong nagugustuhan niya ang ginawa ko dahil napapadaing siya at mas ginaganahan pa na hawakan ako doon.“
Ah—“ I can’t finish my moan.
His kisses went up until it reach at the side of my lips. I panted so heavily. Hindi siya nag-aksaya ng panahon at ibinigay sa akin ang halik na gusto ko. He claimed my lips savagely and I like how wild it is.We just stopped when I think I’ll need some air. Pero hindi niya ako hinayaan dahil sinusunod niya ang galaw ng mukha ko.
With a flushed face, I managed to stare at him. But all my composure was ruined again when he romanced my body again. This man is ruthless!
“I—I can’t take it anymore..” I sighed more heavily trying to find my lost senses. He towered me with his large and muscular body. I can perfectly see his sexy v-line even if the light was so dim. It was as if I can see perfectly in the dark because of this well-toned body of him.
“Please..babe.” I said.“Please what, babe?” He teased me while whispering on my ears. I arched again and he likes it. My body was answering to him so much.
“Please..Nicholas.”
I frustratedly combed my hair when I suddenly wake up from my long sleep. Puno ng pawis ang mukha at likod ko. The aircon was on but I still wondered how my body had these so much sweats. Hindi makapaniwala akong nakatitig sa kawalan. I nervously bite my nails when the dream still lingers on my mind over and over again. It was possible and too much.
It’s a foolish dream indeed! Nag-iinit ang mukha ko tuwing naaalala iyon. I know it’s just a random dream but it was overrated and I can’t just believe I have wet dreams with Nicholas.
It was so ridiculous! Nababaliw na ata ako.
Marahas akong tumayo at inalis ang kumot sa kama ko. I think I need a milk to calm me or a wine instead. Lagpas na sa alas onse ng gabi at tahimik na ang buong mansiyon. Tulog na rin sila Nanay Ending and maybe Nicholas too.
My gosh! Why am I still thinking of him?
Nang makarating sa kusina ay agad akong naghanap ng maiinom. I’m still deciding whether I’ll have milk, wine or hot chocolate, when I felt someone hold my hand.
“Ah!” I screamed.
Dumadagungdong ang dibdib kong nag-angat ng tingin sa taong humawak sa akin.
“Sweet Jesus! Ikaw lang pala.” Agad akong nahimasmasan ng makita siya.
Nicholas looked unto the glass that I’m holding. His face looks so grim and serious. Well, ganon na talaga siya. Hindi na siguro magbabago ang mukha niya na parang feeling ko ay namatayan. But still he looks so handsome in my eyes..hindi na mawawalan iyon. He’s handsome and I can’t argue with that. He has little stubble all over his jaw but it makes him manlier to my eyes.
“What are you drinking?”
Napatingin ako sa basong hawak ko na hindi transparent at bumalik agad sa kanya.
“I’m still deciding what to drink.” Umusod kaagad ako palayo sa kanya.
I still remember the dream and my heart is hammering so fast on my chest. Being near with him for now is dangerous for me.
Nanginginig ang kamay ko habang binubuksan ang ref at hinayaan lang siyang tumayo roon. I then decided to take the milk instead so that I can go back to sleep again.
“You want some?” I offered him.
Tumaas ang sulok ng gilid ng labi niya. “I don’t drink milk, Eli.”
Parang tanga akong tumango dahil sa kahihiyan. Of course, a man like him is not into that kind of drinks. Lumapit siya sa akin at umupo sa tabing silya.
“You looked bothered, are you alright?” Bigla niyang tanong.
Uminom ako sa gatas na kinuha ko bago siya sinagot.
“Nahh. I’m fine. It’s just a bad dream.” I smiled afterwards.
Gusto kong tawanan ang sarili sa sinabi. A bad dream? Really, Eli? You were into it too. The kind of the intimacy we have in my dream was so much on a higher level. It felt so real like I really experience it. But that would be too absurd, I never knew him.
It must be a random wet dream. I think I can’t get over it yet, it was already painted out on my mind.
Bless me!
“Care to tell me?”
Tumingin ako sa kanya. Hindi ko nakayanan kaya bumalik ang tingin ko uli sa aking baso.
“No, it was fine. Hindi naman siya masiyadong grabe.” I said still nervous.
Hindi siya grabe dahil nakakahiya siya. I just fantasized him in my dreams while doing that sinful act! That was so silly of me.
“Are you sure?”
Tumango ako ng mabilis. “Yeah.” Tipid kong sagot sa kanya.
“By the way, bakit hindi ka pa natutulog?” I asked. He’s on his sleeping wear now at malapit na ang midnight pero hindi pa rin siya natutulog.
Nagising ko ba siya nang lumabas ako kanina?
He sighed. Agad kong naramdaman ang bahagyang paglapit niya pa sa akin. My heart beats again. Kahit ang balahibo ko ay tumatayo dahil sa init na nararamdaman ko.
“I have a bad dream too.” He whispered.
I curiously stared at him. “About?”
He smiled bitterly. “About the woman I love.” His voice was so lonely.
“Oh!” Tanging nasabi ko. “Y-you have a wife?”
Something shattered on me when I asked it to him.
“It was more complicated than that.” Sagot niya at tumitig sa akin.
“Why?”
“Something happened, a bad one.”
That must be painful and the way he says it...it looks really familiar.
Why do I felt like I know his pain?
“She left you?” I asked shocked.
Umiling siya. Umangat ang kamay niya at hinawakan ang mukha ko. Napapitlag ako doon pero hindi man lang siya natinag sa reaksiyon ko sa kanyang ginawa.
“No. I lost her.”
My heart pounded faster.
“I missed her so much.” He said and stared at me lovingly. He looks genuinely happy while holding me like this. “I know she’ll come back to me. Maybe without memories but as long as I can have here in my arms again, I’m willing to trade it all.”
“Bakit hindi mo siya puntahan?”
Tumawa siya ng bahagya pero alam kong pilit.
“She might runaway. I’ll wait until she’ll heal and remember me.” He said. “Even if it takes forever, I will.”
“Ganon ka kabaliw sa kanya?”
Umiling siya. “Ganon ko siya kamahal.”
I’m speechless. Hindi ako makapagsalita at basta na lang ding nakatitig pabalik sa kanya.
Natauhan ako kaagad. “She’ll come back, of course.” I smiled at him innocently.
Pumikit siya ng mariin at mabilis akong niyakap. Nabigla ako sa ginawa niya.
“N-nicholas..” I stuttered.
“Can I hug you for a minute?” He said still in a rough voice.
I sighed and pat his back. I never knew that behind that dark aura he has, he’s hiding something so painful too. Something so deep and fragile. He must be struggling so much for the past years that he’s away with her.
“You should go to sleep now.” Saad niya at kumalas sa pagkakayakap ko.
This gesture of him felt so really familiar. If I am just a normal woman, I would maybe violently react at his moves. Pero bakit pamilyar sa akin ang bawat haplos niya?
I massaged my head lightly.
“Sumakit na naman ba ang ulo mo?” Nag-aalalang tanong niya kaagad sa akin.
I bravely looked at him. “Tell me, Nicholas. Do I know you before? I-I mean, have we meet before?”
He stiffened. Agad hindi mapirmi ang mata niya at mukhang biyolente siyang bumuga ng hangin.
Lumuwag ang hawak niya sa akin at tiningnan ako ng mabuti, malalim.
“It’s for the best if you let yourself rest now. Remember what the doctor said, no pressure.” Seryoso niyang saad.
I laughed awkwardly. “Oh! Kung ganoon ay mauuna na ako sa iyo.”
Tumango siya sa akin.
Nasa hamba na ako ng pinto nang magdesisyon akong tingnan siya ulit. Nakayuko siya at mahigpit na nakakuyom ang mga kamao.
Still unsure of my decision, I walked back again towards him.
Umangat ang mukha niya ng maramdaman ang presensiya.
“Why did—“ I stopped him and I immediately hold his face. Without a second thought, I landed my lips to him.
He looks so shock because he was not able to move. But after just a second, he answered my kisses with everything he got. Mapaghanap ang kanyang halik at parang sabik na sabik. He even holds the back of my head and pulled me closer to him.
A tear slid through my eyes. The kiss we shared, it’s just the same in my dreams.
Ang bawat hagod..at kahit ang nararamdaman ko ay pareho rin.
No, it can’t be!
Please… it can’t be…
