Vince
We slept together that night but hey, nothing happened. Well.. Yung sa study ko muntikan na kung hindi lang talaga dumating si mom.
I shook my head at the memory of last night's sweet peace offering. I bit my lip. Oh the feeling of being on top of her, her body bounded by mine.. Such a temptation.
I turned to look at her, she's still asleep. Well. It's only 4:00 A.M. Dahan-dahan akong tumayo at lalabas sana para kunin yung libro ko sa library.
"Hmm.. Saan ka pupunta?" I smiled. Such a light sleeper.
"Kukunin ko lang yung libro na binabasa ko. Go back to sleep, Sabrina. 4:00 A.M. palang." Nag-inat siya na parang pusa pagkatapos ay tumingin sa akin ng nakapout.
"You woke me up, Mr. De Silva." I walked back towards the bed and laid next to her.
"Aww I'm sorry. Wanna go back to sleep?" I asked.
"Hmm.. Parang hindi na ako inaantok." Umupo siya at ginaya ang posisyon ko. Hinawakan ko ang kanang kamay niya at nilaro ito.
"Sab, masyado pang maaga. Matulog ka pa." Ang itsura na ng kamay namin ngayon ay parang nag ta-thumb wrestle.
She rested her head on my shoulder. I looked down at our hands, we're still playing.
"Tell me a secret" Sabi niya. Hmm.. Anong secret.
"Tell me yours" She laughed slightly.
"Ako nauna, wag kang gaya-gaya." Natawa naman ako sa sinabi niya. Para siyang bata.
"Never akong pumasok sa isang long term relationship. Puro flings lang."
"Hindi yan secret. Fact yan. Alam ko na yan eh!" Oh right.. That article about me that she read.
"Hmm.. I own 'The Palace Hotel'?" Patuloy pa rin ang mga daliri namin sa pag ta-thumb wrestle habang nag uusap kami.
"Alam ko na rin yan. Hay nako." Nakita kong medyo sumimangot siya.
"Ikaw muna, mag iisip lang ako." She looked up at me and her eyes met mine.
"Okay." Inihiga niya ulit yung ulo niya sa balikat ko. "I was an abused child." She seriously said. Her tone was cold.. dry.. empty.
"Oh.. Ikaw naman! Haha." She made her voice sound cheerful and happy, but I know somewhere in there, is still an empty soul.
"Uhm.. I ate your lasagna." Agad niya akong nilingon, halata sa expression niya na nagulat siya. Pagkatapos nun ay parehas kaming tumawa.
"Akala ko talaga ayaw mo eh." Nag pout siya.
