Love Takes Time: A Miefer Love Story

"No more fights, ok?"

I nodded. "Ang hirap mo kaaway, instead of sticking around, hindi ka nagpaparamdam. Please don't do that. I'd rather we fight kaysa naman magkalayo tayo. I miss you too much."

"Opposite naman ako. Sprak na nga ako, sprak ka pa. Ano ng mangyayari sa tin? Better na palamig na lang muna ng ulo."

I straddled him, and grinned widely. "Pero making up is worth it the fight naman di ba?"

He held on to me by the waist and then reached up to place a hand on my face. He gently trailed his thumb across my cheek, his gaze veering towards my lips. "I've never wanted anyone the way I want you..."

He nuzzled my neck causing me to moan a little bit. And then he cut the short gap between us and kissed my lips. I held on to his head and kissed him back.

I tilted my head and I had to bit my lip from making any noise brought about by the sensation of his lips on my pulse point.

I've always seen his hair perfectly-gelled hair framing his unbelievably handsome, rarely-serious face kaya to see it disheveled from my caressing hands is super sexy.

It makes my insides quiver and my mouth go dry seeing him outside our comfort zones.

One step at a time.

We slowed down finally and I just leaned my forehead against him.

"Bakit nga ba ulit tayo nag-away?"

"Because you're spending too much money when you don't have to." I quietly reminded him, glad that my breathing is back to normal.

"And I said para sayo naman, yeah, I remember. Okaaaaay. Forget I asked." He winked, winked! at me then rearranged me so nakakandong ako ng maayos sa kanya. Hmmmppphhh, divertion tactics, as if hindi ako aware!

But, truth be told, that was the longest we haven't talked because of a tiff since we've been together and major sepanx talaga. Yeah, despite what I told him, I hate leaving, pero kesa naman may masabi kaming di maganda, better separate na lang muna di ba...

Kumbaga, go to your own corners muna, parang sa boxing?

Hindi ba pwede kasing wala na lang away???

Alam ko naman na having little quarrels is part of being in a relationship, pero sobrang hirap.

'Haaaaay. Kailangan talaga habaan pa ng onti pasensya' was my last thought as I snuggled closer in his arms.

I felt Mika's weight shift and that's when I realized na nakatulog na pala siya... Hay, napakalaki ko nga namang baby...

Teka, pano to...

I moved ever so slowly so I could carry her to my bed without waking her up. After depositing her down gently, she automatically moved to the left, which is her usual spot. I closed the television and turned the AC up a bit.

I checked the watch and tamang-tama, siesta naman na, so nagpalit lang ako sa banyo from maong to pambahay na shorts.

Hay, much better.

I laid beside her and spooned her, laying my hand on her waist, my head tucked in the curve of her neck.

I took a sniff and she still smells so good even after the morning's activities.
