CHAPTER 31

"The world could lie and everything may die, still, you shan't cry.

'Cause time may pass and everything will last, I'll be by your side.

Forever by your side."

Apollo stood at the foot of his bed, he was staring at me as he shrugged off his white shirt. I couldn't help but gasp at the sight of his naked torso, the grooves of his abdomen were still visible through the dimly lit room.

My eyes followed his hands, I thought they were going straight to his fly so he could start removing his pants. But he shocked me when they grabbed both of my ankles and hauls me back towards the edge of the bed.

"Apollo!" I squealed his name in surprise.

He didn't say anything. He didn't have to. The intensity of his eyes showed me what needed to be said between us.

Apollo's hands found their way around my body and mine wrapped around his neck when he lifted me up and pressed my naked front against his. I did the same with my lower limbs, I encircled them around his waist and he held them with his big, capable hands.

"Nervous?" he asked when our foreheads touched. I could hear the concern in his voice and I couldn't help but fall a little bit more. Yes, I'm kind of nervous pero hindi naman masyado. Kilala ko siya, hindi naman niya ako papabayaan. I know he's going to make this good for me.

But I took in his face, I soaked in his perfection. Grabe. Boyfriend ko ba talaga 'to? Sobrang magkaibang-magkaiba kami, paano kami nagkasundo at nagkagustuhan? He's the epitome of refinement, of class... And his face, he's just too handsome. His features are too striking, too beautiful.

Sometimes, I just found myself staring at his face. I appreciate how he's always clean-shaven. I never get 'stache burns with him. Parang hindi ko pa nga yata siya nakikitang may bigote. Well, he didn't have to. Even if he looks freaking beautiful, his strong jaw makes up for it.

Gosh, I really like his face... his jaw, his nose, his cheekbones, his lips...

Especially his eyes, his chocolate brown eyes were rimmed with long, dark lashes that fanned across his cheeks as he patiently waits for my answer.

How did I get this fucking lucky with him?

I smiled at him. Paano ko ba ipapaliwanag sa kanya ang nararamdaman ko? I went for the easy way, honesty.

"Hindi ko ma-explain," I whispered to him.

He smiled back. "You are nervous," he concluded, then he kissed me on my forehead. "Don't be. I got you, Princess."

Tumango ako. "I know. Kaya nga I trust you, diba?" I kissed him on the lips chastely. "I'm a little nervous but I'm not scared. I'm a little overwhelmed, too. Ang tagal ko kayang piniling hindi ibigay 'to."

I wasn't sure if it's possible, but his eyes intensified. "Are you really sure about it?" he asked, his jaw ticking.

I nodded and tightened my hold of him.. "I am sure of you, Apollo Arcangel."

He buried his face on the side of my neck and took a deep breath. I felt his warm lips touched my skin and my head automatically dropped back to give him better access. I groaned when he stopped.

"Bakit ka huminto?"

"Let's take a shower first. Naulanan tayo," he said as he dragged me inside of his cabin's bathroom. Hindi na ako tumutol sa kanya at pinanood na lang siyang hubarin ang pants at boxers niya bago pumasok sa loob ng shower area. Sumunod ako nang buksan na niya ang shower.
