She Loves Me ✔

Chapter 35 - Crossover

Nang matapos sya ay humarap sya sakin at pinagmasdan ako. Kumunot din ang noo nya at hinaplos ang pisnge ko.

"What's wrong?"- she softly asked.

"Can we talk?"

Her brows furrowed. "We're talking already; actually, kanina pa nga di ba?"

I pursed my lips and leaned down to kiss her, but she was quick enough to dodge it. Her other hand was on my chest, stopping me from moving closer.

"I won't let you kiss me if you won't tell me what's bothering you."- she crossed her arms and stared firmly at me.

Humugot ako ng lakas ng loob at tinuon nalang sa magkabilang gilid nya yung mga kamay ko.

"Do you have a phobia? I just noticed na sa tuwing mag tataas ako ng boses o kahit may mabasag ako kapag galit ako natatakot ka. At ngayon may nakaaaway ako nakita ko din ang pag aalangan sa mga mata mo."

She parted her lips, but no words came out of her mouth. She was just staring blankly at me.

"Addison.."

"L-later. I.. I need to take a bath."

Hinawi nya ako at tuluyan na syang umalis, halatang umiiwas. Napahilamos ako sa mukha ko at yumuko. Ilang minuto din akong nakatulala sa faucet ng lababo bago ako pumasok ng kwarto para kumuha ng damit.

Rinig ko ang lagaslas ng tubig sa loob ng banyo kaya naman nag desisyon ako na sa kabilang kwarto nalang maligo. Oo pwede kaming magsabay pero mukhang kailangan muna nyang mapag isa.

Matapos akong maligo at makapagbihis ay bumalik ako sa kusina at nagbukas ng wine. Uminom ako mag isa sa counter habang nag iisip ng kung ano ano. Sinuklay ko ang medyo basa ko pa din na buhok at bumuntong hininga.

Nakakalahati ko na yung wine nang may kumuha ng baso sa akin at nilayo din sa akin yung bote. Nalanghap ko agad ang halimuyak ng pampaligong ginamit nya.

Her smell is a combination of berries, rose, and vanilla. It's making my heart beat fast and bringing me to a world full of comfort.

"Are you going to answer me now?" - I softly asked and reached for her arm.

I pull her closer until she's in between my legs. I close my eyes when she reaches for my hair and combs it using her fingers. Gently massaging my scalp and giving me butterflies in my stomach.

"I witnessed one before, and since then I hate violence. It's making me feel nervous whenever someone is shouting or breaking things. I hate it. I'm afraid."

"I'm sorry."

She smiled and cupped my face. "It's not your fault, baby."

"Pero may ugali akong ganun."

She just gently shook her head and kissed the tip of my nose.

"I trust you. I know you wouldn't hurt me. You love me so much, right?"

Her arms loosely wrap around my neck. We're staring into each other's eyes. She looks so dreamy. Oh,  what did I do in my past life to have someone like her in my life?

"Yeah, I love you. Ikaw lang naman yung nananakit."- nakangising sabi ko kaya nakatanggap ako ng kurot sa tagiliran.

"Oh see? You're hurting me!"- dagdag ko pa kaya rumolyo na ang magaganda nyang mata.

I steal a kiss on her lips and hug her waist. I can still feel her hand caressing my damp hair, and she's kissing the side of my head.

"I love you. Let's take a rest na? You still have class tomorrow."- malambing na sabi nya sakin at hinila na ako pabalik ng kwarto.
