The Breakup

Chapter 11

I woke up and was greeted Alex's handsome face.

"Morning." He smiled.

For a moment I was stunned.

Maybe it was the way the sunlight hit the corners of his face and emphasized his manly features. Or maybe it was just the realization that this was the second time we slept together and really just slept. Or maybe it was the thought na 5 days pa lang kaming nagkasama ni Alex pero parang sobrang daming nangyayari everytime we're together.

Or maybe, it was just... him. Alexander himself.

"Gising ka na ba talaga or are you sleeping with your eyes open?" Tanong niya ulit that snapped me back into reality.

I smacked his forehead instinctively. Para na rin hindi niya mahalata na medyo nag day dream ako.

"Aw. I was just kidding." He said, still rubbing his forehead.

"Sorry. Eh kasi naman. Sabi nga nila, biruin mo na ang manananching, wag lang ang bagong gising."

"Huh? Hindi ba dapat lasing yun?"

"That's what Sydney taught me. Hayaan mo na, magka-rhyme pa din naman eh."

"Psh. Maligo ka na or better yet, gisingin mo muna si Sydney."

"Okay. Ikaw?"

"Mauna na ko maligo?"

"Ikaw bahala."

"Or do you want to conserve water and just shower with me?" His eyebrows teasingly wiggled.

I threw him the first pillow I got and he laughed.

"I'm just kidding!"

"Maligo ka na nga. Baho mo."

After ng kalahating oras yatang pag gising kay Sydney, sa wakas bumangon na din sya. I made sure na nakapasok na sya ng banyo para maligo bago ako umakyat ulit sa room namin to take a bath na din.

Saktong kakalabas pa lang ni Alex ng bathroom. It must be his aftershave balm that found its way to my nose. His manly scent stayed there for a while. At dahil wala na namang suot ang hudyo except for the towel that hung perfectly on his waist, todo avoid na naman ako sa eye contact ko sa kanya.

Omigosh. Bakit ba may sa porn star talaga ang lalaking to? Akala mo palaging nagmo-model ng katawan eh. I got my stuff and semi run to the bathroom. I heard him chuckle as I closed the door.

A little later, we're already on the road headed back home. At least ngayon may nilu-look forward na ko pauwi. Kay Alex na ko sumabay, pero dadaanan pa namin si Lexie sa bahay nila André. Speaking of, pinilit na pala namin na isabay na nya si Sydney umuwi. How? Edi nauna na kami Medyo matagal kasi maligo at mag ayos si Sydney kaya ayun, umalis na kami. Tapos nagbilin kami na kay André na lang sya sumabay since magkatabi lang yung mga bahay namin.

"Hi baby." I hugged Lexie as soon as tita Lia handed her to me.

"Hello." Alex cooed and I slapped his shoulder. He turned away from me chuckling, "thank you tita."

"No problem. André told me earlier na pauwi na din sila ni Sydney. They also mentioned something about you two. Totoo ba?"

"Po?" Magkasabay naming sagot ni Alex.

"You two are dating daw. Kwento sakin ni Sydney kanina, nagkakilala nga daw kayo through internet. Is that true?"

"Uhm.."
