Chapter 7: Saturday Morning
Nagising ako ng walang Zeren sa tabi ko. Normal na lang to para sa akin. Lagi nalang kasing ganyan ang pangyayari araw-araw. Maliban sa unang araw.
As I looked at the mirror, I tried to reminisce my first day with Zeren here.
May nararamdaman akong nakakakiliti sa leeg ko, tsaka may matigas na braso ang nakapulupot sa bewang ko, Ang comfortable sa feeling. Still, with my eyes closed, pinilit kong tanggalin yung mabigat na nakadag-an sa hita ko. And to my horror, hita din pala yon!
Nakayakap sa akin si Zeren at nakabaon ang mukha niya sa leeg ko nakadantay din ang hita niya sa hita ko! That is when I realized our position. When I look at my side, Zeren's peaceful sleeping face welcomed my sight. I stiffened with the thought that we slept like this.
I removed his legs and tried my best to remove his arms wrapping around my waist slowly. Napahinga ako ng maluwag nang matanggal ko ito pero hinila niya ulit ako. Slowly, I tried to stand but I just found my self trapped again in his arms
Gising siya?!
I tried to move but he wrapped his arms around me again. Omy! Ayaw nya akong pakawalan. In the end, kapag gagalaw ako at pipiliting tumayo, hihilahin niya ako at ikukulong sa bisig niya so I gave my self a free gaze to his angelic face. He looks like a fallen angel when asleep.
Well, I think I'm not settled in just staring at him that I found my self tracing his face from his well-shaped eyebrows down to his sharp pointed nose and his thin, pinkish lips. The moment my finger touches his lips, bakit uminit? Dahil doon, dali-dali kong inalis ang kamay ko pero nahuli nya.
Nanlaki angga mata ko kasabay ng dahan dahang pag mulat ng kanya
"Enjoying the view?" He smirked.
"I am.... N-no! I was j-just trying to wake you up!" Naiinis na ako sa sarili ko! Totoo! Bakit ba ako nauutal? Simple. Nahuli niya akong nakatitig sa kanya.
Shit! I wish Zeren didn't wake up!
"It's okay, sweetheart. No need to worry" He said grinning from ear to ear. Hell! My cheeks burned more and I am aware that I am as red as a tomato now.
"Please pakitanggal ng braso mo kung ayaw mong masapak, King Zeren" I said with a firm voice. I almost celebrated my victory for not stammering. But it fades away when I looked at Zeren.
His eyes looks so sleepy yet....so captivating. I felt like I was drowning through his deep, dark brown orbs. We stayed silent for minutes. Staring at each others faces like memorizing it's every part.
"Can we stay like this for another five minutes?" I don't know if it was just about me or Zeren's voice is husky. I unconsciously nodded. And a genuine smile appeared on his face.
I don't know what I am feeling but I know I won't get tired of staring at Zeren's face even for a very long time. He looks so perfect for my eyes. So perfect that even me myself can't name my feelings anymore.
Am I falling for this man?
Probably not. I should not. I don't know but I am afraid of something I don't know.
And then my heart do summersault when his face js getting nearer and nearer.
Oh my gosh! Anong dapat kong gawin? Close my eyes? What?! As his face gets nearer and the tips of our nose is touching.... I decided to shut my eyes. Hard.
Hahalikan nya ako? Ulit? I wanted to protest but just like my first kiss with him... I can't.
Nararamdaman at naaamoy ko na ang kaniyang hininga na papalapit na sa mukha ko at magkalapat na ang tungki ng mga ilong namin. Minty breath sanaol, that made me think ang bango bango parin ng hininga nya samantalang kakagising lang nya? With that thought... I immediately push him and covered my mouth with my hands as I rushed to the bathroom
Oh gosh! He almost kissed me! And hindi ko alam kung mabango pa ba ang hininga ko kaya naman tinulak ko sya. If I didn't pushed him, will he kiss me even if I don't know if my breath is not bad? Please soil, open up and eat me alive. Just to get me out of this.
I shook my head and continue to walk downstairs. Sanay na ako, ginagawa namin ito for almost one week. Tulad nalang ngayon. Nakatalikod siya sakin kasi nakaharap siya sa stove.
He is a good cook probably, and I think I'm starting to like the perks of being a Queen. I grinned with my thoughts. Yes, I'm being treated as a Queen. Pero hindi naman lalaki ang ulo ko dahil lang doon. Isa akong Dyosa remember? I busied my self staring at Zeren's sexy back
From his lean shoulder, na nagko-contract kasi gumagalaw siya, his sweat all over himself and his so sexy butt. Kalahating hubad ang hari at napaka-hirap hindi pansini. This man is the real epitome of Adam. Tapos napansin ko ang apron na suot nya, pinigilan kong tumawa. Ang sagwa kasi ang laki laki ng katawan nya. Pero defined.
Imagine King Zeren an epitome of Adam wearing pink apron while cooking.
"Bwahahaha!" Lumabas na ang pinipigilan kong tawa kaya bigla siyang lumingon. Oh my! He faced me with his scowling face.
"You look cute, Zeren. No need to worry" I said in between of my laughter.
"Oh yeah?" He sarcastically said and serve the breakfast. I tried to help him but he won't allow me. I pouted.
Hmmm. It looks so yummy! Bacon, java rice, hotdogs, bread, egg, pancake and pineapple juice is our breakfast for today. We ate and we talk. That's how my Saturday Morning started. My Saturday morning with Zeren.
