"Of course nanay. We can make it sooner if you want. For now, Maya wants to take a rest. Ihahatid ko muna siya sa kanyang silid ." Radicus said that caused me to cough. What is this guy saying?

Mas lalo akong namangha nang makapasok kami sa loob ng bahay. I find it elegant despite of its very simple interior.  But my red day makes me unease.

Pumasok kami sa isang kwarto na hindi ko na pinansin ang itsura dahil sa kirot na nararamdaman ko. Damn! Period plus some revelations won't do good together. It sucks! Agad na akong napadapa sa kama na napakalambot. I sighed. I feel so tired.

Muntikan na akong mapabalikwas ng bangon ng maramdaman kong may dumapong kamay sa likuran ko. Nawala sa isip ko na narito lang si Radicus. He's caressing my back and I want to react violently but my body feels so relaxed with his touch. I miss him. So much.

"Would you like me to get you a pain reliever? Soup? Warm compress? Pad--"

"You're saying those words as if you were expertly using it since day one." I wanted to laugh but I'm not comfortable to do it. I heard him chuckled. Oh God! How I miss his laughs.

"Why not?" He answered.

What the?

"Why not get used to those words since I have my love exepriencing her monthly visit. If I can also feel your pain it will be much better. But I cant, so this is the only way I could help."

And I blushed. Seriously? We both stayed silent. This is awkward. Not that I'm not used being around him but it's been months since the last time we were this close.

"Maya?" He suddenly talk when I'm in a deep thought.

"Hmm?" I said without looking at him. Nakadapa parin ako at nakabaon ang mukha sa unan. His hand is still on my lower back.

Hinintay kong masundan ang sasabihin nito but I just heard him sighed.

"I'll let you take a rest first. We have all the time to talk what is needed to be tackled anyway. Besides..."

Napahinto na naman ito sa pagsasalita. I took a glimpse of him. My lips parted while looking at him. Hands in his pocket, buttons half-open and smirking.

"I will not let you go without me reminding you that I'm yours. All yours baby." He said before leaving the room.

I woke up feeling well. I felt like I sleep that long pero mukhang nasa isang oras lang ang naitulog ko dahil madilim parin. It's just 10pm.

I was preparing to stand up when the door suddenly open and viola! A God-like creature is standing infront of me. How can Radicus be this perfect even wearing a loose old-type shirt and a pajama?

"I'm also thinking the same." Nagsalita ito. Huh?

"Huh? What?" Did I talk earlier?

"I'm thinking...how can you still be perfect even without makeup, and a loose gray shirt?" He said. I am flattered but there is one thing that caught my attention.

Gray shirt? Who's wearin--Shit!

"Did you? Ikaw ba nagpalit sa akin?" 

"May iba bang may karapatang makita ang dapat ako lang ang nakakakita?"

"What? You mean to say..."

"Cut it Maya. It's not like I havent seen that before. You know we already---"

"Of course! I mean..I ah..I..."

Goodness! I have my period! Don't tell me siya din ang nagpalit ng pad ko? God! This is...this is so embarrasing.
