The Bodyguard

XXIII

FRANELLEY ANN

I was too stunned to speak. I can't even move a muscle dahil sa nakikita ko. Yung puso ko parang yung araw na papalubog dahil para rin itong lumulubog dahil sa tuwa o sa kaba.

Hindi ko mawari kung ano ang reaksyon ko sa mga oras na ito. Nanatili akong tulala hanggang sa maramdaman ang yakap niyang unti-unting lumuluwag.

I can see the happiness behind her teary eyes. She's smiling despite those tears that started to run down on her cheeks. Inilayo niya bahagya ang sarili niya.

"Sa bar counter mo lang kami, huh. Usap muna kayo Fran."paalam ni Engrid sa amin. Nginitian niya ako na parang may pahiwatig saka ako tinapik ng bahagya sa aking braso.

"Wish you luck bebe bunso!"sabay pa nilang sabi kay Ara saka tuluyan kaming iniwan.

She's pursing her lower lips like she's been holding something that she can't express. Para siyang nahihiya sa porma niya. While I'm just still looking at her intently and amusely.

"Wala ka man lang bang sasabihin sa akin, Franey?"kagat labing tanong niya sa akin.

Nakikipagpaligsahan siya sa akin ng titig. She's smiling while I'm literally drowning because of those smiles. Yung tagal ko nang gustong makita ang ngiting ito at ngayon andito na ulit sa harap ko.

I missed her.

I miss her annoying rants and the way she did not follow what I said.

I miss us.

I miss our long deep talks.

I miss her smell whenever she sleeps in my room.

I miss how she sulks whenever I will not allow her to what she wanted to do.

I miss her pouty lips.

Above all I miss all of her.

Oh god how I really miss this angel of yours.

"I, I m-miss you!" I uttered with a shakey voice.

I manage to lift my hand and caress her face which she automatically reacted by closing her eyes, feeling my hands on her face. I held her waist with my other free hand and pull her closer to me. I can smell her fresh breath and it's tempting.

I look at her intently from her eyes that full of unexplained expressions , to her so pointy nose down to her rosy red lips. Nagtagal roon ang tingin ko, and in a blink of an eye I close the gap between our lips without any hesitation.

It was slow at first and passionate. I moved my lips and gently sucked her's while closing our both eyes. Naramdaman ko ang pagkapit ng braso niya sa leeg ko. I wanted more so I wrapped my hand to her waist and draw her more even closer so that our body will feel each other warmth.

The transition of my feelings towards her was fast. Last minute I was sulking and don't want to see her again because of the fact that she never showed up when I was in coma and now it disappears quickly. Parang ayoko na siyang umalis pang muli sa tabi ko ngayong nakita ko na uli siya.

We kissed while the sun is setting down. It adds the feeling that we had for each other. She give me more reason to love the sunset even more.

We both gasping for air when our lips parted. Pinagdikit ko ang mga noo namin. I smiled sweetly while my eyes still closing.

I heard her chuckled. Napadilat ako at tinitigan siya na ngayon ay nakatitig na pala sa akin.

"I missed you too, Franey!"naiiyak niyang sambit sa akin
