Nagising ako sa sinag ng liwanag mula sa labas. Nasapo ko ang aking ulo dahil parang minamartilyo ito sa sobrang sakit! ******* hangover. Idinilat ko ang aking mata at bumungad sa akin ang isang matipunong lalaking naka top less at sweat pants. I gasp. Nakaupo siya sa sofa. Nakatukod ang siko sa kanyang hita habang pinaglalaruan ang labi ng isang kamay. Nagtaas siya nang tingin sa akin. "Good morning, Lala."
Humataw ang puso. All I can remember are fragments of what happened last night. Daniel broke up with me. I go to the bar. Get drunk. Go home. Wait... Hindi ito ang condo ko! Panic consume me. May nangyari ba? But then... it doesn't hurt down there. Agad kong tinignan ang sarili sa ilalim ng comforter. I'm still wearing my undergarments. Binalot ko ang sarili ng comforter at sinamsam ang nagkalat na damit. So much for getting wasted to move on.
Mabilis akong nagbihis. Nakamasid lang ang lalaki sa akin. I look for my pumps nang bigla siyang magsalita. "You have a very funny way of saying thank you." I glared at him. He pursed his lips like he's suppressing a smile. I stormed out the place without looking back and brace my self for the walk of shame. **** it!
Tumingin muna ako sa paligid bago nagmadaling pumasok sa unit ko. I entered the card key and closed the door. Sumadal ako sa pintuan at pilit na inaalala ang nangyari kagabi. Halos iumpog ko na ulo ko pero wala talaga! That man from the other unit. I know him. We went from the same school. As far as I can rember, he confess his feelings for me but I don't mind him because I'm so head over heals with Daniel.
That bastard! Kinuha ko ang picture namin na nasa side table. The excruciating pain in my chest is too much. I clutch into it as if my hand's mimicking how crushed I am on the inside. Kinuha ko iyon mula sa frame at sinira. Pumasok nalang ako sa banyo para maligo.
A knock on the door startled me from my thoughts. I open it. My eyes widen at the sight of the man. Even in that white shirt, the firmness of his arms are very evident. Mayroon siyang inabot sa akin. I look at it and it's my purse. Agad ko iyong binawi sa kanya. He chuckled sexily. "You're welcome." he said amuse. I pull all the courage I have to ask him. "Could you please... tell me what happened last night?" I look down and play on my fingers as I ask.
"May I come in first?" I blink before gesturing him to come inside. He sat on the opposite side of the couch. I remember him as a lean, tall man with glasses. But now he matured. His jeans hugged perfectly the muscles on his tighs. Tumikhim siya kaya nabalik ang tingin ko sa kanyang gwapong muka.
"So... what happened last night? Why I ended up in your room?" Nanliit naman ang kanyang mata. There's a small grin on the side of his lips.
"You knocked on my door. Drunk. You're eyes were swollen from crying. You started telling me about your boyfriend then..." Halos pigilan ko ang paghinga dahil sa sinasabi niya.
"Then what?" My heart is pounding on my chest. Ano pang ginawa ko?
"You started kissing me." Umakyat lahat ng dugo ko sa aking muka. Nakakahiya ka Lala! But base on his expression, parang wala lang iyon sa kanya.
"Don't worry, it's just a brief kiss, and then you passed out." I massaged the bridge of my nose.
"That boy's not worth of your tears." His jaw clenched. "You someone who's man enough not to hurt you. You're the one who's worth keeping. Not wasting." His brow eyes are full of concern and passion. My heart suddenly wanted to get out of my chest. Tumayo na siya patungo sa pintuan.
He stop and look back at me. "I don't want to rush you... but..." He bit his lower lip.
"Kung nakita mo ang iyong sarili sa posisyon upang umibig muli, umibig ka sakin." He have this hopeful smile. Tuluyan na s'yang lumabas. Napahawak ako sa aking dibdib hoping to calm down its fast beating.
