Come Home To You (Book 1 of You Trilogy)

Kabanata 16

"Ano ka? Aso?" 

Nilingon niya sina Kala at Bala.

"I think it's just right if you kiss their Dad too-"

"Gago." umirap ako at nang makatalikod ay hindi na napigilang ngumiti

Gosh. Hindi ako pwedeng magka-crush sa lalaking 'to!

"Hmm..." I groaned when I felt something on my feet

My eyes are closed but I already knew it's Kala and Bala. My back hurts a bit at gustong-gusto ko pang matulog. I was suppose to sleep six hours kaso ginising na ako ng dalawang 'to. I can't complain tho. They are irresistable.

"Babies... come here.." 

Still with eyes closed, I signalled them to come near me. They're smart enough to do what I want. Nasa chest ko na sila ngayon. Kinuha ko silang pareho at inamoy. 

"Mom is sleeping... ang naughty niyo ah..." I murmured

I was about to hug them and go back to sleep when they both barked. That forced me to open my eyes. Kumunot ang noo ko nang biglang magbukas ang lights. I used my hand to cover my eyes. Nakakasilaw!

"Sorry..." 

Kinusot ko ang aking mata at napalingon sa kabilang side ng kama. I blinked twice just to make sure I am really seeing Kai. He's on his plain black cotton shirt, black shorts and messy hair. My eyes drifted on the cake that he's holding.  A banana cake. It's freaking cute!

"It's not my birthday..." I hoarsely whispered

The girls stopped barking. My heart started racing when he smiled before licking his thin red lips.

"I know..." namamaos niyang sagot

Nagkatitigan kami. For a split second, I saw how his eyes sparkled. Or it's just the candle.

"Then... ano 'to?" nagtataka kong tanong

"Happy three million subscribers.."

My lips parted. Hindi ako nakapagsalita. What....

Omg.

Ang sakit sa likod na naramdaman ko kanina ay biglang naglaho. I feel like floating!

Is he serious?

"Hipan mo muna..." tumawa si Kai ng mahina nang makitang tulala lang ako

Lumunok ako. He can't be near me now. He'd probably hear my heart that's beating so loud! 

"Should I wish?" inosente kong tanong

His eyes reflected so much amusement.

It's my first time being surprised like this. How should I react?

"You should..." 

I closed my eyes as I mentally said my wishes. Pagbukas ko ng mata, agad kong hinipan ang kandilang paupos na.

Nag-angat uli ako ng tingin kay Kai. His eyes met mine. 

"Thank you...."

Wow. I don't know what to say!

"Welcome." 

Inilapag niya ang banana cake at namulsa sa aking harap. 

"The cake is so pretty, I like it..." puri ko

He bit his lower lip as he watch me. I probably look like an amused kitten now!

"I know. It's banana..." he said like if it's banana, it will automatically make me happy. He's right, tho.
