It is true that when you're in your happiest, time runs fast. It has been months since Draisen and I began dating for real. We're still the same but we know to ourselves the feelings we have for each other.

I expected that he'd be the same cold and unaffectionate type of person in a relationship, but no, there are days that he's being so extra intimate that will always catch me off guard. Hindi ko alam kung may pattern ba o ano pero minsan lang mangyari iyon at sa tuwing hindi ko inaasahan pa. 

Ang random kasi kaya minsan nagugulat na lang ako. He looks like he won't be comfortable with anything intimate but hell I was wrong, he has his ways and he does it like he wasn't new to it. 

At siyempre hindi mawawala 'yong paggamit niya sa'kin para sa kung ano mang nabasa niyo o pinag-aralan niya. Mukhang tinotoo niya ang paggamit ng free time niya sa trabaho. 

"Saglit lang," sabi ko para makahinga. I can feel my lips sore and numb.

He is also catching his breath but since he's born with a good stamina, he looks fine with it.

"18 calories," he showed his smart watch. "Let me see yours,"

I bit my lower lip and showed him mine. Hindi ko kinakaya ang mga pinaggagawa namin tuwing hihinto siya sa pagtatrabaho. It was just making out, but hell, it was an intense one.

"24," he said, reading my record on my wrist.

He pulled me closer for a cuddle while I was still sitting on his lap. I am still panting because of the kiss we made a while ago.

He's always like this, hugging me after making out. Gusto ko rin naman kasi ramdam ko ang bilis ng tibok ng puso niya. 

I hugged him, leaning my head on his shoulder. My heart is beating so loud. I can't get enough of it. I also like kissing him.

"Nangangalay na ako." I whined.

"I'll buy a much more comfortable chair." 

I scoffed. "Why do you always want me to sit on your lap?"

Kinalas ko ang yakap para matignan siya. He stared directly to my eyes that I shudder a bit. I do like kissing him but I was thinking if he's feeling anything with it. Ako lang ata ang sobra sobra ang nararamdaman. 

"I like holding you," he muttered, his hold tightened on me, pulling me much closer. "I like feeling your warmth."

He said it so casually that I almost went crazy with it. He has always been honest and I appreciate it so much. Minsan hindi ko na rin kinakaya ang pagiging honest niya.

"Tapos na break time," sabi ko nang tumunog ang smart watch ko sa sinet niyang alarm. I caressed his hair gently while we're still in the same position. "Balik na sa trabaho."

Aalis na sana ako nang maramdaman kong humigpit ang pagkakayakap niya sa'kin. He pulled me and hugged me again. 

"Akala ko ba you don't want anything to hinder your work?" pinagtaasan ko siya ng kilay. "Asa'n na ang isang salita mo?"

Hinawakan niya ang smart watch ko at nagset ulit ng panibagong alarm para hindi ako makaalis. Pinipigilan kong ngumiti dahil sa inaasta niya.

He's being clingy which doesn't occur often but if it does, it's extreme. 

"Or I can work like this..." sabi niya at pinwesto ang swivel chair paharap sa may lamesa niya. Kumuha siya ng mga papel habang nakaupo pa rin ako sa hita niya. 

"Nangangalay nga ako," I whined again. 

Hindi naman talaga kaso kasi parang hindi kinakaya ng puso ko sa tuwing magtatagal kaming sobrang dikit. Baka mamaya sunggaban ko ulit siya, mahirap na.
