CHAPTER 15

Glaiza was starting to get used to the sleepless nights.

It had gotten more frequent and frequent but surprisingly, tonight, unlike most nights, she didn’t
really mind. Not when she could still feel the warmth that Rhian’s lips left on her cheek.

She brought her hand up to her face and touched her cheek and chuckled. Glaiza felt like a kid
who had just gotten a new toy, or a teenager who just asked her crush for a date and agreed. To
say that she was giddy was an understatement. She was overjoyed, she was hyper and it felt
really exhilarating.

Glaiza rolled on her bed and settled on her tummy. She clutched the pillow she was nuzzling
and almost squealed.

It was getting really ridiculous, even for her.

A knock on her door made her conscious of her love-drunk idiocy. It sounded light, shy, and she
had to ask herself if she actually heard right. She glanced at the clock on her nightstand and
furrowed her eyebrows.

Two in the morning, it read.

She got up nonetheless, ignoring the cold floor as she planted her feet firmly, because there’s no
one in that room who would knock at her door at that time other than Rhian.

The thought made her swallow. She was nervous all of a sudden.

Taking a deep breath, Glaiza stood, albeit a little shaky, and made her way towards the door.

The knob was cold to her touch, the same with the floor to her feet, and the sudden chill she felt
in her bones made everything worse. For a second, she pondered if she should open the door.

Would it even make a difference? What good will it do to her if she did?

Questions filled her mind as she turned the knob gently before opening the door, barely missing
a retreating Rhian.

-----

It was a bad idea.

But the temptation was too great to ignore and so Rhian found herself knocking on Glaiza’s
door at two in the morning, not even sure, rather without thinking, if the other girl was even awake.

Hours before, she lay awake beside her snoozing daughter, touching her lips that were left
tingling after she kissed Glaiza lightly on her cheeks. A certain thought continued to hammer
its way in her mind and it’s making her head hurt.

She was confused, to say the least, but more over, she had to know. The curiosity never seems to
run out and it’s getting pretty tiring.

“I had a great time,” Rhian voiced out as Glaiza walked her towards the front of her room.

It was kind of silly, ‘cause they were staying at the same hotel room, but Rhian appreciated the
gesture nonetheless. Actually, she loved it. And for once she was thankful that they had separate
bedrooms.

“That’s good to know.” Glaiza smiled at her and it was contagious.

Rhian knew she was beaming, and though there was a little awkward silence surrounding them,
her heart felt light. She wasn’t soaring, it was nothing like that, but it was enough to make her
feel elated, free.

She opened the door gently and peeked at her sleeping daughter. The little girl was huddled
comfortably between two pillows, safe from falling off the edges of the bed. She chuckled silently
and thought of her two friends. Somehow she thought that the couple was already prepared to
have an addition to their small family.
