Kabanata 32

Hindi pa ba sapat na sinabi kong siya ang mahal ko? I cried and told him my true feelings so why is he thinking that I'd cheat on him?

Sabagay, iyon din naman ang problema ko. If I could be assured with words, this guy preferred actions.

"Actions, huh." I mumbled at myself while staring at my reflection in the mirror.

Napangiwi ako dahil sobrang sikip at halos wala na akong suot dahil sa lingerie na ito. I immediately covered it with a robe before going outside.

I took a bath on the bathroom outside because he's not yet done. Inasahan kong magtatagal siya sa loob dahil sa galit niya. Nauna pa ako at sinuot ko kaagad 'to pagkatapos. I dried my hair after doing my usual skin care routine.

I pouted as I waited for him to come out. Nakaupo ako sa kama habang naghihintay na parang bata. Hindi nagtagal ay bumukas na ang banyo.

He is only wearing a dark brown robe and his hair is still damp. Nagtama ang mga tingin namin at kita ko pa rin ang galit sa mga mata niya. I bit my lip, don't know what to do.

"Let me dry your hair," halos manliit ang tinig ko nang maglakad palapit sa kanya.

Hindi siya sumagot pero umupo naman sa may upuan katapat ng salamin. I smiled and plug the hair dryer. Sinimulan ko nang tuyuin ang buhok niya pero nanatili siyang tahimik. I glanced at his reflection on the mirror, he was staring at me intently.

"Sorry na..." I muttered. "I won't do it again."

Hindi siya nagsalita kaya nanaig ang ingay ng hair dryer. I softly caressed his hair as I continue drying it. Dumapo ang palad ko sa may bandang batok niya, nakita kong bahagyang napapikit siya dahil sa ginawa ko.

"I'm sorry...please forgive me." I softly whispered.

Pinasadahan ko ng haplos ang leeg niya paangat sa panga niya. I heard him let out a deep sigh. Lumapit ako sa kanya at tumigil pansamantala para yakapin siya.

I hugged him again from behind. I can feel the warmth of his back on my body. Amoy na amoy ko ang bango niya at hindi ko alam kung bakit kahit kakaligo lang namin ay parang biglang uminit.

"I love you..." I whispered. "Only you, Darius..."

Naramdaman ko ang mabigat na paghinga niya. Lumayo ako saglit para ipagpatuloy ang pagpapatuyo ng buhok niya kaso agad na hinarap niya ako at hinawakan ang palapulsuhan ko. I glanced at him and mentally gasped when I saw his gaze darkened.

"W-Why..." halos hangin na lang 'yon na lumabas sa bibig ko nang makita kong kinuha niya ang dryer at nilagay sa may lamesa.

Bago pa ako makareact ay hinapit niya ang bewang ko padikit sa kanya. His gaze never left mine, he's like staring through my soul.

"Say it again..." he muttered.

Ilang segundo kong inisip kung anong tinutukoy niya. Nang maintindihan ko ay muli ko siyang tinignan.

"I...I love you." bahagyang nanginig ang boses ko. "I love you, Darius."

He leaned closer to me, enclosing the space in between us. I could feel his minty breath on my face. His manly scent felt intoxicating that I couldn't help but to look at him drowsily.

"Ako lang dapat, naiintindihan mo?" may diin sa pagkakasabi niya. The warmth from his body is affecting my whole system. "Sa'kin ka lang dapat magkaganito, hmm?"

I nodded like a puppy. He leaned much closer that only an inch is left between our lips. My lips immediately parted, anticipating for a kiss but he stayed still, tormenting me with the little gap.
