marrying Mr. Stranger

Chapter 30

M... he called out for me. I can't go on chasing your lost memory...he paused and there was sadness in his eyes ...but if you are willing, be my girlfriend again and lets start making new ones. My heart just melt on what he just said. What have I done Lord to deserve this guy. But thank you for him. I throw myself to him and I hug him tight. I wanted to brush away all the pain he had been carrying. And i know i'm very much willing to start new memories with him. Even before I heard what my beshies told me, I know Kiefer has a special place in my heart. And I am very happy he stayed through the pain and longing. We were silent for a while enjoying the comfort of each others embrace.

So should I assume now of the great principle that 'Silence means YES'? Kiefer asked. I broke the hug and faced him smiling.

No Kief. nawala naman bigla ang ngiti niya. Thank you for staying in my life Kiefer and for all of your effort. Hindi na siya makatingin sa akin. trying to hide the tears falling from his eyes. No you cant go on assuming things between us.... I guided his chin to face me. I looked into his sad eyes ...because I wanted everything clear between us from now on... i smiled to him ...i wanted to make new memories with you while chasing the lost ones... I can see now a glint of hope from his eyes... and that would be impossible if i am not clearly your girlfriend.... I smiled to Him.

So that means.... said Kiefer but i cut his words.

Yes Kief. I will be your girlfriend Again. He hugged me tight. He was laughing and crying all at the same time. I am very happy seeing him happy. And I could feel a part of me leap for joy having a happy Kiefer in my embrace.

He slowly let go from our hug then looked me into the eye. I could feel the space between our face is slowly fading. Slowly envading my breathing space. I could feel his warm breath to mine. So is this the time when we will share our first kiss? I asked. I heard him chuckle and i can see him amazed of what i just said. Trust me M. this is not the first time we kissed. He was about to close the gap when I stop him again. Teka muna. ano ba kasi ibig sabihin ng 'M' daya naman eh. Ikaw lang tumatawag sa atin ng ganyan. Nakapout na sabi ko sa kanya. You can also call me M. Thats ours. I pouted even more and shook my head after. Ayaw ko. How would i call you something that i don't even know the meaning. tsk. Ano ba kasi ibig sabihin nun? Mahal? I asked him quizzically. Pwede na din yung 'mahal' but I prefer 'M' as mine. You're mine and I'm Yours. I could feel the blood rushing on my cheeks. Kaya pala initial letter lang. Ang corny pala. Tumatawa kong sabi. I heard him chuckled. Eh sino ba nakaisip ng endearment na yan? ang corny ha.  Then he bridged the gap between us and kissed me slowly. I was caught off guard but responded to his kisses as i recovered. He must be telling the truth, i thought i'd be going stiff from his kisses but i guess my lips got a mind of its own that they knew what to do exactly as his lips touches mine. It was a very familiar sensation. A very familiar territory he is reintroducing me. My arms made its way to his nape and his right arm on my waist pulling me closer to him while the other is making its way just behind my nape to guide my head and he deepened the kiss. I can feel my knees are melting so I clung to him even more. naramdaman niya siguro na nanghihina na ang mga tuhod ko kaya he let go of my lips. We both gasp for air. Our forehead still locked and eyes close. I felt the ragged breath between us.

I never thought or imagined i had shared an intimate kiss with him before. It was very uplifting, bringing me to higher ground. Or maybe we shared more than that. after all he is my husband and we went on our asian honeymoon just a week before we had an accident.

Our breathing now is back to normal. I opened my eyes and saw Kiefer intently looking into my eyes. He smiled to me.

Sorry nabigla ba kita? Namiss ko lang kasi talaga ikaw. you this close to me. And you allowing me to kiss you. I've been restraining myself not to kiss you everytime you pout in front of me and everytime you are close.

I just smiled to him in response. I heart is beating so fast hearing him say those things.

Thank you so much M for welcoming me into your life again. I thank God for you and for this another chance to make new memories together. I LOVE YOU M. Soooo... i cut his words with a kiss. just a lingering one.

Enough with your sweet words M. We cant be just standing here and kiss all night. i'm hungry already. Lets eat na.

Wow. Pakiulit mo nga muna yung sinabi mo. He teasingly said.

Gutom na ako? I said playing with him. I knew exactly what he meant. He just looked at me with blank expression. Kain na tayo?...

He sighed.  maybe that was just a slip of the tongue.

Sus.... ang drama nyo po at ang cuuute nyong mag tampo. I said while pinching his cheeks. I gave him a quick kiss again before pulling him to the dining set for us. Tara na M. Gutom lang yan. Sige ka pagnagutom ako masyado at mahanginan ako baka magbago ang isip ko na sinagot kita at bawiin ko lahat. I felt him pulled me and hug me from behind. Please don't joke about that. hindi ko na kakayanin.
Seryoso mo po masyado. Kain na tayo please.

Kiss muna.

Aba ravena sumusobra ka na. Baka maubos labi ko nito at di na abutin ang bukas.

He chuckled. I wont eat it naman eh kahit mas masarap pa yan sa pagkaing nakahain. titikman ko lang. I felt blood rushing to my cheeks again. 
Ayaw. Gutom na ako ravena. I could turn into. monster paggutom ako.

Hahaha... Oo nga pala. nakalimutan ko. Sige mamaya nalang matapos nating kumain.

and we happily enjoyed the night together.

I still have lots of questions in mind but at least I know I have him by my side as I face it.
