I'm In love with a Monster

We've been cuddling the whole afternoon. He's quiet. He just keeps on caressing my hair as our bodies tangled.

I stared at his face. Nabigla ko ba siya? Was my confession untimely? Ako rin naman nabigla sa pag-amin niya ah! He just blurted the I love you last night too. Medyo hirap din akong paniwalaan sa umpisa. But why lie, right? It has no use. He got a hold of me already. I'm hooked. Deeply and madly.

"What are you thinking, Brandon?" I asked. Hinarap ko siya at mabilis akong kumandong sa kaniya.

"Baby.." Nahihirapan niyang bulong. He tried to keep me in bay but I'm too desperate for answers. "Stop moving. Fuck!"

"I will. After you don't leave me hanging." I answered in a serious manner. "I want answers, Brandon. Don't give me a vague one."

He heaved a deep sigh. Nakasimangot ang mukha na hinarap niya ako.

"Fine. Fire away, baby. Sasagutin ko."

I grinned. "Do you really love me?"

His face turned crimson red. Napalunok siya at mukhang hindi mapakali na napahawak sa beywang ko. He keeps on muttering curses on the air.

Oh my! My baby is shy. How cute.

"Are you really gonna ask me that?" Halos paangil niyang tanong.

"Bakit ka nagagalit? Sagutin mo nalang kasi." Inis ko ring saad. Ang dali-dali ng tanong ko. Yes or no lang naman ang isasagot niya.

"Kasi nga- Shit!" He looks frustrated. He tried to lift me up but I cling to him like my life depended on him. "I can't think when you're this close to me, Miranda."

"Bakit ka pa mag-iisip?" I retorted back. "Let your heart speak, Brandon."

Ayun, nagmura na naman siya ng nagmura. Nakakainis na!

Padabog na bumaba ako sa kaniyang kandungan. I stood in front of him. Nameywang ako at dinuro siya sa mukha.

"Ang arte mo kasi! Para kang babae!"

"What?!" His nose flared. "I'm not!"

"You are!" I fired back. Kung gaano kami katahimik kanina ay siyang kabaligtaran naman ngayon. We're shouting at each other like children in the streets. Baka dinig na kami sa labas sa sobrang ingay namin. "Yes or no lang, Brandon! Do you love me?"

"Yes!"

Edi wow! Nashock naman ako. Ang bilis naman pala niyang sumagot. Gusto lang niyang binibigla.

I smiled. Hindi ko pinansin ang pag-iinit ng aking pisngi. I'm feeling kilig and a little bit shy too. Kasi nga it feels so unreal. Akala ko talaga ako lang ang may feelings sa aming dalawa. Pag sa kama kasi, he's all hard and harsh. I heard someone said before that you can have sex without feelings involved. That's who he is and what he is before. Ewan ko lang ngayon. Maybe he'd do me a vanilla sex. He said I love you na eh!

"What? You're laughing at me now?" Nanlalaki ang butas ng ilong na saad niya.

Umiling ako. "Bakit naman ako matatawa diba? You confessed your love, Brandon. I'm happy. Sobra." I grinned before hugging him so tight.

Home. This is what I feel right now. In his arms, I feel so safe. I believe in him. I trust him. I know he won't let someone have their way on us.

I stared at his handsome face. I'm in love with him. I will protect him. At all cost. At any cost.
