Chapter 5 -Goodnight kiss

Drew started undressing her until she was left with her underwear. He started kissing her all the way to her bosom. His hands are moving fast sliding down from her waist to her legs. Temperature is rising and she can't breathe properly because of the intoxicating kiss they shared.

Drew also started to strip his clothes at nung parating na sa underwear, Eloisa got awake at nalaglag sa kama. Panaginip lang pala ang lahat. But why did it feel so real?

"You're unbelievable Eloisa! Sa sobrang gusto mo syang hawakan at magkaroon ng physical contact, you ended up dreaming about making love with him." sita ni Eloisa sa sarili.

Napalinga si Eloisa sa paligid. It doesn't seem like she's in her room. She tried to recall kung nasaan sya, doon nya naalala na nasa pad sya ni Drew. She took care of him. Speaking of which, nasaan kaya ang lalaki? Maya maya ay lumabas mula sa banyo ang hinahanap nya. Nagkunwari siyang tulog. Palinga linga ang lalaki na tila may hinahanap and found her on the floor.

Nagulat siya nang mula sa sahig ay umangat siya. Kinarga pala siya ni Drew pabalik sa kama. She could tell that he was staring at her.

"Stop pretending you are asleep and open your eyes."

Dahan dahang dumilat si Eloisa and was greeted by a beautiful face smiling at her.

"I'm sorry for messing up our date."

"I-I have to go home. See you at work."

"Wait. It's still 2 am matulog ka pa."

Nanlaki ang mata ni Eloisa sa narinig na 2 am na.

"You stay here in the bed and I'll stay in the couch."

"No!" kasabay ng pagpigil sa braso ni Drew. "You stay here and I'll sleep in the couch."

"Wag ka ng makulit."

Nàgulat na lang si Drew nang muli ay icheck ni Eloisa ang noo niya to check if wala na syang lagnat.

" You need to rest so you stay here."

"I feel better now. Thanks for taking care of me. I dont know how I'd repay you. Perhaps plus points will do? You just need extra 5 points for us to be official."

Namula ang pisngi ni Eloisa. She couldnt stand him staring at her eyes. Parang matutunaw sya. Tumango lang siya bilang tugon. Nagulat sya nang bigla na lang hawakan ni Drew ang pisngi niya like pulling her closer. He was looking at her lips like he wanted to devour them.

"Do you want anything in exchange of taking care of me?" Is he about to kiss her because he thinks its just a favor?

Nabigla si Eloisa at mabilis na naitulak si Drew. "If you'd do it just because I took care of you, wag na lang."

She was really hurt. Hindi nga yata sya talaga magugustuhan ni Drew. Pakiramdam nya laruan lang damdamin nya. Nag uunahang pumatak ang mga luha nya kaya mabilis syang bumangon para itago ang pagkapahiya nya and she was about to leave when he hugged her from behind.

"Who says Id do it just for a favor?"

Nang lumingon sya ay nasalubong nya ang tingin ng lalaki.

"You sounded confident when you said you'd make me fall for you."

Talaga bang dapat ipamukha ng lalaking ito na wala syang pag asa? Mas bumababa na ang morale nya sa mga nangyayari. Tama bang ituloy pa rin nya kahit tila wala naman katugon ang damdamin nya?

Dahan dahang inalis ni Eloisa ang mga kamay ni Drew na nakayapos sa kanya. Ngunit muli ay ikinulong ni Drew si Eloisa sa nga braso nya.

"We're not a couple so you can't just hug me."

"You said you'd do anything to make me fall for you."

Muli ay magkaharap sila ng lalaki. Few inches from each other's face. She kept looking away pero mas nilalapit ng lalaki ang mukha nito. He also kept staring at her lips.

It seems like they are about to kiss. Sobrang lapit ng mukha nila. If she'd play along she'd know how it feels to kiss him.

" Stop teasing me. I wont touch you even if I want to. Ayokong mabawasan ng points. I'm close to being your girlfriend."

Sa huli mas naging realistic sya.Alam nyang wala syang pag asa pa lalo at alam nito ang background nya.

He thought she didnt want to kiss him pero inaalala pala nito ang challenge at deal nila. She's really serious in wanting him to be her boyfriend.

"Can we both stay in this bed? This is big enough for both of us. You need to rest. Baka mabinat ka."

She genuinely care for him. Nararamdadaman nya yun at hindi sya manhid para hindi niya makita yun. Sadyang in doubt pa rin sya if she could trust the woman.

"And besides, I know na walang mangyayari coz you're not attracted with me."

"I'm still a man Eloisa and when did I ever tell you that I dont find you attractive?"

Dinismiss na lang yon ni Eloisa at nahiga. "Let's sleep. Arguing wont get us anywhere."

Nagulat na lang si Eloisa when he pulled her closer for a quick kiss. " Good night."

Parang natulala naman si Eloisa. Is it another dream?
