Goodbye Lullaby (COMPLETED)

Chapter 23

The moon was still reigning in the sky when we arrived at the resort we're staying at in Southridge.

Sa kwarto agad ang tungo namin ni Eros. He threw himself in bed while I went directly to the cabinets to arrange our things.

"Bukas na 'yan, mahal. 'Lika na rito..." sabi niya sa mababa at pagod na boses.

I shook my head. "It's better to fix this now so we won't have to worry about it later."

Madaling araw na at nakapagpahinga naman na ako sa sasakyan. He's the one who needed rest after that long ass ride from North to South. Hindi na siya umapila nang sinabihan kong magpahinga na siya. He still waited and watched me for a while though, but he eventually fell asleep afterwards.

I stayed up until I finished fixing our things. Ayoko kasing maglaan pa ng oras para rito sa umaga. We'll waste time and I don't like wasting time.

Wala naman kaming binook na water or whatever activities sa buong stay namin dito. We both thought that after our tiring and neverending band activities, we deserved to literally just rest and enjoy our time together. Walang sasalihang activities na nakakapagod kasi, duh, ano pang saysay ng bakasyon kung magpapakapagod din kami?

I took a quick halfbath before going to bed. Sinubukan kong gisingin si Eros para makapagpalit ng pantulog dahil suot pa rin nito ang damit niya sa dinner kanina, ngunit ayaw na nitong bumangon. Napabuntong hininga ako. Paniguradong hindi kumportableng pantulog ang jeans na sa sobrang pagod ay hindi niya na natanggal.

I carefully took off his clothes, leaving only his boxers because that's how he dresses up to sleep. Bahagya siyang nagising at nakisama sa pagtanggal ng pants niya ngunit agad ding nakatulog pagkatapos. Tumabi na ako sa kanya at tinabunan kami ng kumot.

It took a while for me to sleep. The result of the dinner with his family was still in my mind. Lalong lalo yung usapan namin ni Eros na susubukan ko siyang ipakilala sa magulang ko. It relieved and bothered me at the same time.

Yung sagot niya, pabor sa sitwasyon ko at ng pamilya ko. He wouldn't admit it, but I knew he wanted to formally meet my parents so bad. He wouldn't say it because he knew I couldn't. Kahit gustong gusto niya, kapakanan ko pa rin ang inisip niya. Palaging pabor sa akin. Palaging siya ang umiintindi kapag may hindi ako magawa para sa kanya.

I stared at him peacefully sleeping. 'Di gaya ng ibang gabi na yakap niya ako sa pagtulog at nasa kaliwang bahagi siya sa higaan. He was laying on his back with his right hand on his stomach and his left hand spreading to my direction. Ang matangos niyang ilong ay mas nadepina sa anggulong pinanggagalingan ng panonood ko. His lips were protruding a bit and his thick brows were relaxed. His lashes were so long that I resisted the urge to touch it.

I sighed and thought to myself. How can he love someone like me so much? But then I figured I wouldn't want to hear the answer.

I advanced to him and invaded his side of the bed. I tried to hug his shoulders and he unconsciously obliged by letting me put an arm under his nape. I kissed his left cheek and whispered a soft, "I love you," hoping that it would reach his dreams and hear the sincerity in my voice.

I woke up alone in bed. Tanghali na rin at ramdam na ramdam ang init mula sa glass doors papuntang veranda. We were staying in a villa. It has one room, living room, kitchen and dining area. May veranda rin na accessible mula sa kwarto.

"Man, where are you?" Was the first thing I heard when I went out of the bedroom. Agad kong nakita si Eros na nasa tapat ng stove and from the smell of it, I figured he's cooking breaded porkchops.

Inirapan ko ang hubad niyang likod na nagpapasikat sa mata ko. His ass protruded proudly in his black sweatshorts. Palagay ko'y nakaligo na ito dahil medyo basa pa ang buhok.
