Thorns And Roses

Kabanata 7

Kabanata 7

IT was really unusual whenever I sleep without any nightmares. I opened my eyes, feeling peaceful and fine.

I moved to my side, only to find Doc sitting beside me, his hands still holding mine. It's weird, wala akong masamang panaginip pero nang maalala ang ginagawa ni Doc Thorn sa akin ay napangiti ako.

Kaya pala wala akong masamang panaginip...

I smiled at that, glancing at his sleeping face. Nakasandal pa rin siya roon sa headboard habang nakatungo at nakapikit.

His breathing in uneven, like he was in deep sleep at naawa naman ako sa kanya. He stayed there sleeping because of me. Nagigising pa siya kada oras para tingnan ang temperature ko.

Isa pa, ang weird ng panaginip ko, we kissed in there!

Napahawak ako sa labi ko at napasulyap sa labi niyang bahagyang nakaawang

What if we really did kiss? Is that a dream or not?

Nag-init ang pisngi ko sa naalala at nakagat ang labi ko.

That was real! We really did kiss! I remember how I pulled his face closer, I still remember how I insisted another one because I'm bitin!

What do I do now?

It was really awkward! I mean, he's my doctor tapos pasyente niya ako tapos... nag-kiss pa kami!

He stirred a bit at nanlaki ang mata ko roon.

Okay, okay, pretend you don't remember anything, Scira!

I cleared my throat, sumulyap muli ako sa kanya at napatingin sa orasan. It was seven in the morning and he is still here, taking care of me.

I tapped his cheek softly to wake him up.

"Doc?" I called him.

He groaned and yawned kaya napangiti ako.

"Doc..." tawag ko ulit at kinalabit siya at nagulat ako nang bigla siyang mapamulat.

"H-huh? May panaginip ka?" bigla niyang sabi sa akin kaya nanlaki ang mata ko. His eyes ere still bloodshot and puffy.

"Huh?" I asked.

"Ano? Ano, sorry, it's fine, 'di 'yon totoo," bangag niya pang sabi at napatawa na ako roon.

I pulled my hand from his grip and sat on the bed.

"Wala, wala akong panaginip..." I said and smiled softly. Napatitig siya sa akin, maya-maya ay napahugot ng hininga at napasandal sa headboard.

"Akala ko..." he murmured and closed his eyes.

I stared at his face, his description really suits those of the Greek gods. Even the stubbles on his jaw never failed to make me swoon over and over again.

I've seen people with stubbles yet his was more attractive and hotter.

"I'm right, crush mo ko." Napalingon ako kaagad sa kanya, he was grinning, nakasandal ang ulo sa headboard pero ang buong atensyon ay nasa akin at sa pagtitig ko sa mukha niya.

"H-hindi kaya..." I answered but he just chuckled. Iniabot niya ang pisngi ko at napasulyap lang ako sa kanya.

"Remember what happened last night?" his eyes glistened at that, malisyoso niya akong tiningnan kaya ngumiwi ako at lumayo sa kanya.

"Huh? May nangyari ba?" I pretended to know nothing and I saw his amused smile. Umayos siya ng upo, tinagilid niya ang ulo para sulyapan ako.

"My Queen can pretend now, huh?" he teased. Inabot pa niya ako at ipinatong ang kamay sa noo ko para tingnan ang temperatura ko.
