Miracle In His Eyes

07

"Ang bully,"

He chuckled when I hit his chest with my right hand. His arms wrapped around my waist while my hands are in his broad chest. He gently moving, swinging our bodies in a slow motion. We don't need to uttered words. Incessantly, the sound of night simultaneously sound as our musical instruments. I should treasure this moment.

I can't stop myself from sniffing his masculine scent, so sweet, so warm, so good to whiffed. I looked up and see his perfect jaw line.

"You smell good." my nose sniffed the center of his chest. He laughed on what I did.

"Talaga? Nakaka-conscious, galing pa akong airport." he's scorned, now neglecting my hugs.

"You don't have to, mas mabango ka pa nga kila Kuya." I said pressing him into a tight hugged. He groaned, chuckled.

"If Laz hear you say that, for sure he'll get mad." he mumbled but I still heard.

"They all smells good but I like your scent more." I giggled when he kissed my forehead.

Humukod siya para pumantay sa tainga ko. I lightly twitch because of little tickles, his effect.

"What a sweet talker we have here." I shivered on his husky voice.

"Ngayon eighteen ka na..." he sniffed the edges of my hair. "Hindi na ako magpapapigil." and smoothly left a kiss like it was my hand he kissed, like sealing a promised. "Manliligaw na ko."

Huh?! Wait I can't connect for a moment. I blinked twice, trice and continuous I blimp.

"W-what?" Jeez this is the first time I felt gawks! Nakakahiya!

"Liligawan kita." he step back. Our vision locked.

Liligawan kita...

Liligawan kita...

Liligawan kita...

Two words continue piercing in my head. Tila ba isa itong banyagang salita. Is this confession? Is he confessing?

This is not the first time someone confessed but this is my first time become silence. The night mirror his eyes like a crystal shining, very light. Light of too much emotions unfamiliar and unfathomable to me.

I was about to open my mouth but I realized,.. Anong sasabihin ko?

Tumungo ako at wala sa sariling napatingin sa pagitan ng mga paa namin. Darn it Leona! Say something you dense!

"I don't k-know what to say..." Apparently, I deficient or lacking words.

"It's okay, manliligaw naman ako. I didn't asked for permission, I just informed you anyway." he squeezed my face with his hands. I nodded.

Kung noon 'sorry at thank you' ang sinasabi ko sa mga nagtatapat sa akin, iba ngayon. A part of me want to entertain a suitor. And he is the only person I can.

"How are you? Masaya ka ba sa birthday mo?" he suddenly asked, after his speechless confession.

"Hmm" I smiled. Earlier I felt something heavy in my chest but now I feel complete, contented in my simple but very memorable birthday celebration.

"Masaya na... Masayang-masaya."

"Dahil sa pagmamadali ko nakalimutan ko ang gift ko sayo." He said scratching the tip of his nose. I bit my lower lips.
