Nimbus Clouds (Stethoscope Series #1)

Static Clouds

But something caught my attention.

"I don't celebrate my birthday." I murmured voiceless, while holding the only picture in this table.

The picture eccenturate him and what I believe his family with birthday hats, cake, tarpaulin and foods. Based on the tarp itself it's his seventh birthday, he have the brightest smile, looking genuinely happy while holding his suppose mom. Funny, how bright his smile as a kid, the dark his personality now. For the past few days with him I never catch a glimpse of smile plastered in his face. All he can offer is his stoic and nonchalant remarks.

"Why?" I was caught off guard when he saw me relentlessly staring at his picture. I admire the photo so much that I didn't feel him standing at my back. I thought he is sleeping?

"What's with the 'why'?" I asked as I bring the frame back to its orginal position and walk back to avoid topics. Remember, no strings attached. You'll probably left kr dissappear in his life after these.

"Why... why didn't you celebrate your birthday?" His question stop my feet for further more step. I was stunned and again he caught me off guard. Maybe because my defenses are too weak, the wall I built was fragile enough to be break this easily.

The moment I know he is standing in front of me. Ant held my chin to look at his endearing eyes. This time his eyes aren't blank, but full of questions. Questions, not sure if I'm ready to provide the answer. I manage to get hold of his touch. So, I walk again and stand at the window. I opened it to feel the breeze nang naramdaman ko na lang ang mga ambon kasama ang hangin na hinahampas ang aking balat.

"Naulan." I retort as I look at the dark clouds when I sense he stand next to me.

Nilabas niya ang kamay niya para maramdaman ang ulan at ginawa ko rin ang ginawa niya.

We watch as the droplets of water touch our skins as they left our bare palms at magpahulog na lang sa lupa. I don't know how long we've been standing there and none of us dare to speak and break the silence.

"They'll eventually condensate and become a rain again when the static clouds couldn't hold them anymore." He suddenly said. It's suppose to be scientific embark, but I know there's something deep in that statement.

I look at his direction and he is looking at the clouds with creased forehead.

"Spend childhood thinking it is your special day. You waited for that certain day of the year excited, thinking how perfect that day would be." I pause and take a deep breath. "And people fail to fill your expectations and ended up dissapointed." I swallow the lump on my throat. "Ironically, you're use to being dissapointed..." I chuckled and this time look directly at his eyes and intertwine our hands that is touching the rain. "but because you wait and highlight that day special the disappointment you feel doubles that it hurt so much you just ended up not believing in it anymore."

The moment I know he was standing in front of me and cage me in his arms, cupped my face. I guess, he just chose not to speak and showered me with kisses.

I want to protest! I want to stop him, but his kisses are making me weak.

Usapan pag nagrereview lang eh!

I tried to push him with my remaining strength and it is useless. He pinned my arms in the wall.

I wasn't able to respond at first, then he sucked my lower lip that put down all my defenses.

I grab his nape and kiss him deeper. Like I am hungry for him, he pinned me in the wall harder. I explore my tongue in the wonders of his mouth and taste every inch of him. He started lowering down his touch and put his hands inside me while giving butterfly kisses on my neck.
