*Yaaaaawn

What time is it? Oh, it's almost 3am na pala.

"1 module to go, kaya ko pa 'to," I convinced myself.

If only I'd get a million every time I yawn, I must be damn rich already. But, no! Di ako pwedeng magpatalo sa antok ko, not now. Kailangan kong tapusin 'to.

I continued dribbling my fingers on the keyboard, lazily typing codes one after the other. You guys probably don't have any idea how nerve-wracking programming can get at times. But if you do, then thanks for sharing with me the same sentiments.

Oops, don't get me wrong, programming is not that tough at all – seriously. Pero mahirap lang talaga mag code kapag inaantok. I sometimes catch myself dozing off for a few minutes, but mabuti na lang nagigising agad ako. Konti na lang talaga, matatapos ko na 'to. Konti na lang, makakapag-pahinga na 'ko. Kanina pa 'ko tinatawag ng kama ko, kanina ko pa gustong-gustong tumabi sa taong nakahiga dito.

I've been taking occasional glances towards the angel lying on my bed. He's been sleeping soundly for a couple of hours already and his snores have started to sound like lullabies. It's like music to my ears kaya mas lalo pa yata ako inaantok.

Napapansin ko din na malikot pala matulog si Kevan. Naka ilang beses na din siyang nag change position, pahiga, padapa, patagilid. Nakakatuwa talaga siya. Pag naiisip ko ang feeling ng labi niya sa mga labi ko, it sends shivers down my spine. Napapangiti na lang ako, but deep down, I have this regretful feeling.

I can't explain, but I have a cocktail of emotions inside me. I feel happy because I kissed him, and I feel sad at the same time because it was just...stolen. But yeah, like what I've said, what's done is done. Move on na, Kent.

Another hour have passed, and I'm almost done with our project. When I'm about to run the program, I reviewed the codes first, and hoping na wala nang error. Then finally...

"Time to test the program," I told myself. So I clicked on the Run button, and anxiously waited hanggang matapos 'tong mag compile. After a few seconds...Voila!

Nag run ang program without errors! I felt a surge of relief and excitement kaya napatayo ako at nag dive sa kama.

"Kev, I finished it!"

Inalog-alog ko siya, pero mahinang pag ungol lang ang sinagot niya sa 'kin. He can really sleep so deeply.

"Kev, I finished it! It's done!" I said happily. I saw his eyes opened a little, but he only moaned and went right back to sleep. I sighed.

Humiga ako sa tabi niya at tumingin lang sa kisame. Sigh. Is this real? Kevan is just inches away from me. Kevan is lying on my bed. I still get that fluttery feeling in my stomach every time I remember that stolen kiss. Stealing is a crime, but for that brief moment, everything seemed perfect, everything felt fine.

Later on, I heard a familiar song playing, so I turned the volume up a bit.

Now playing: Just A Kiss by Lady Antebellum

I went back lying beside Kevan. I stared at him and my eyes rested on his angelic face again.

That moment when it feels like the lyrics of the song you're listening to were written just for you.

"Kevan," I called, but the voice that escaped my mouth sounded almost like a whisper.

I don't understand but I got a sudden urge to touch him, to hug him, to kis...aargghh! I pushed that thought aside. Enough, Kent!
