Chapter 35: HER CHALLENGE

"I love you, Chloe."

It all came so sudden - the furious beating of my heart, the sturdy hands wrapping my body, the surging of tingling sensations and the soft yet full lips as it slammed into mine... owning, yearning. Ang tanging nagawa ko na lang ay abutin ang kanyang leeg at ipulupot ang mga kamay ko sa kanyang batok upang hindi ako tuluyang malunod.

Naramdaman ko ang paghiwalay niya sa'kin. Narinig ko ang paghahabol ng aming hininga. There's something inside of me that yearns for more. To feel more of him. To share that moment again and again.

"I can see it in your eyes, my love."

I searched for his face and felt the outline of his smile. Nahawa ako sa ngiting binibigay niya sa'kin. How I wish I could see it. "What?"

"This."

And once again, his lips devoured me. Again and again. Sinabayan ko ang agos niya, giving him the same amount of love which I can't express through words. Kahit dito man lang masabi ko sa kanya. Kahit dito man lang.

I want to give my everything to him but there's something that's holding me back. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang pumipigil sa'kin upang ibalik ang pagmamahal na binibigay niya. I want to love him. I really do. Kaya gagawin ko ang lahat upang malaman kung ano ang dahilan ng hesitation ko.

"What's wrong, Chloe?" he said. Concern is evident on his voice.

"Bakit?"

Pinasadahan niya ng kamay ang gilid ng mukha ko at marahan itong hinawakan. "You look lost."

I sighed. I clutched my hand on my chest. "Why do you love me, Martin? I'm lacking. Bulag ako. Ni hindi ko pa nga nakikita ang mukha mo. How can you love someone like me?" Habang sinasabi ko 'yun, hindi ko naiwasang pagsikipan ng dibdib. Simula noong iniwan ako ni Carl dahil sa kapansanan ko tumatak na sa isip ko na hindi ako karapat-dapat sa pag-ibig. Na wala nang lalaking handang magmahal sa'kin. Dahil kulang ako. Dahil bulag ako.

"Hindi ako - "

Hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko dahil pinatigil niya ako gamit ang kanyang labi. Unlike his other kisses which are strong and passionate, this kiss is so gentle, so soft and so careful which made my tears vulnerable as they fall from my eyes.

He showered me with little kisses as he lightly hovered his hands from my neck to my chest.

"Mahal..." A kiss. "na mahal..." And another kiss. "na mahal kita. I won't explain this to you. I'll just show it."

"Martin..."

My skin became cold as he undressed me yet I'm burning inside. Dahan-dahan niya akong hiniga habang pumapaibaba ang kanyang ulo patungo sa aking katawan. My body jolted and arched as he began to plant kisses on my bare chest. I let out a soft moan.
