Lightless Sunshine

Chapter 34

Chapter 34  

     
I woke up with a smile sweetly plastered on my lips. It wasn’t just a simple morning like before. I woke up today with a bright feeling in my chest.

The sunrise was hitting my face through the huge window of my room, calming me with its soothing warmth and of course, with the man lying right beside me… The warmest feeling ever. It feels so homey.

Hinarap ko siya habang nakatagilid ito sa akin. He was sleeping peacefully. He was even snoring a bit.

Tumalon ang puso ko sa saya. Habang natutulog siya, lihim kong pinagmasdan ang kaniyang itsura. He was still downright handsome like before. He has this thick brows, pointed nose, pretty lips, and a sculpted jaw.

Ang gwapo ni koya.

I wasn’t aware I was touching his face with my fingertip thoroughly when it reached his eyes that’re still close.

“I love your eyes…” I whispered and planted a soft feather kiss on it.

Bumangon na ako sa kama pagkatapos no’n, saka pumasok sa banyo para makapaghilamos at mag-toothbrush. Pagkatapos ay lumabas na ako sa kwarto ko at dumiretso sa kusina upang maghanda ng agahan naming dalawa.

I prepared sunny side up eggs for us and a pancake. Nasanay na kasi akong hindi heavy ang breakfast simula nang mang-ibang bansa kami. People there usually used to have light breakfast like bread and cereals. At dahil na rin sa tagal ng panahon ng pananatili ko roon, na-adapt ko na ito. Pero dahil alam ko namang kulang ito para kay Icarus, nagsaing na lang din ako ng kanin.

Habang nagpiprito ng ham, nagulat na lang ako nang may brasong biglang pumulupot sa aking beywang at kasunod nito ay ang pagsiksik ng mukha sa aking leeg at balikat. His familiar scent made my lips lift for a smile.

“Good morning, sleepy head,” I greeted.

He mumbled a groan and moved his face on my neck, tickling me a bit as he kissed me there.

“What are you cooking, Madame?” he hoarsely asked.

“Nagluluto ako ng ham,” I said and moaned as he sensually nibbled it. “Maupo ka muna roon dahil malapit na itong matapos. Ipagtitimpla kita ng kape.”

Napaungol na naman ako. “I-Icarus, will you stop licking and biting my neck? Para kang bampira d’yan, eh.”

“Hmm?” Parang wala siyang narinig sa sinabi ko.

Umikot ang mga mata ko at binaligtad ang niluluto. “‘Pag ika’y hindi tumigil, ikaw rin ang magdudusa, sige ka,” pananakot ko sa kaniya. “Kapag ‘yang nasa ibaba mo tumayo, naku!”

Natawa siya sa aking sinabi at tumigil na sa pagkagat sa leeg ko. Ang pisngi at panga ko naman ngayon ang pinagtuunan niya ng pansin at saka ako hinalik-halikan doon.

“Is that for our breakfast?” tanong niya.

“Stop asking an obvious question, will you?”

“Galit yaaarn?” he teased and chuckled.

I boredly looked at him. “Mukha ba akong galit?”

He cutely cringled his nose as he smiled cheekily. He shook his head like an obedient kid. “No, Madame.”

Dapat ay galit-galitan ako, eh. Pero bakit ba kasi ang cute niya? Ayan tuloy, napangiti na lang ako.

Sabay kaming natawa.

“Sige na, upo ka na ro’n. Ako na bahala sa kape mo.”

“I wanna watch you cook.”

“Malapit na ‘tong matapos. Mas mabuti pang ihanda mo na lang ang pagkakainan natin.”
