The Knots Between Us (Red String Series #1)

TKBU 4

The warmth of the sunlight struck my face as if it was cupping it and giving me warm kisses in the morning. I was comfortably sleeping in a soft bed and that's where I saw a figure of a man wearing his white sando. 

Kinusot ko ang mga mata ko na para bang nahihirapan akong maniwala sa lalaking nasa harapan ko. He opened the blinds and the sunlight entered the room which woke me up in the morning. 

Sa isip-isip ko ay kung ganito ang madadatnan ko sa bawat umaga hindi ako mag-aatubiling matulog at gumising nang maaga.

I shrugged off my thoughts and sat on the bed which made him look at me, I covered myself with the sheets and looked at him furiously.

"Ikaw!" I pointed my finger at him. Napatingin s'ya sa 'kin with an amused look. What's wrong with this guy?

"Good Morning, Princess." he softly smiled at me and added "We didn't do anything, I opened the blinds to let the light in. You can sleep more, I'll put this down if you want." he said.

I almost curled my toes on the way Sylus looks right now. His hair is wet and he smells like fresh coconut blended with something alluring and masculine. He's wearing a white sando top and gray sweatpants. 

I controlled myself from looking down and just looked around the room.

"It's my room, you already went inside when we got home and I couldn't do anything about it since you already sleep na agad. Don't worry, I slept on the sofa." He leaned in the window frame adoring the view from the outside. 

"I'm sorry. I can't remember what happened last night." I massaged my temple and tried remembering everything but I could not. 

"Stop stressing yourself out. Let's have breakfast. I'm sorry for barging in the room while you're still sleeping uhmm." he paused for a bit and continued "I wanna have breakfast with you kasi." he scratched his head for a bit and his ears were reddish. 

"Sure." 

"I have hangover tea and meds outside, do you want it now? I can make you tea." 

"I'll drink the meds after breakfast. I'll have tea first." 

"No worries, Princess." he gestured to the cozy pink bunny slippers in which I wore them. 

"Saan 'to galing?" 

"I-I bought it downstairs."

I thanked him for being thoughtful and gently smiled.

I went to the bathroom and that's where I saw his extra toothbrush and used it to clean my teeth. I splashed water on my face to get back to my senses a bit because all of this feels unrealistic to me. I have a lot of questions for you, Sylus.

After I went inside the bathroom, I saw him on the balcony of his room embracing the warmth of the sun. When he saw me, he walked towards my direction and that's where we went outside and I could already smell fresh toasted bread and tocino.
