Book II:Love me Again

Chapter 5

Aiden blink numerable times trying to straighten his vision, sa sobrang sakit ng ulo niya ay hindi niya magawang tumayo. Hangover at it's finest, Aiden sighed and was about to sit up when he felt something heavy on his chest. Tila nawala ang hangover niya ng makita ang nakapatong sa kanyang dibdib, Amethyst is sleeping peacefully beside him. He tried to remember what happened last night and when he realize what happened a smile crept on his lips. They had the most beautiful night he could ever wish for.

Tila nawala ang sakit ng ulo niya habang pinag mamasdan ang dalaga na natutulog, hindi mawala ang ngiti sa labi niya habang inaalala ang nangyari. Their body became one again, touching and feeling each other.

"Amethyst..." He whispered, hinaplos niya ang maamong mukha nito. "Wake up babe..."

Her eyes slowly opened. And when her eyes darted to his she smile.

"Good morning..."

Aiden's heart won't stop beating as if it was in a race. Nanlaki ang kanyang mata ng maupo ang dalaga at matanggal ang kumot na nakatabing sa katawan nito, dali dali siyang nag iwas ng tingin. Mahinang natawa si Amethyst bago tumayo she put his shirt on and her underwear.

"Kung makaiwas ka parang di mo pa to nakikita." Wika nito bago nag lakad papasok ng banyo.

Pinag masdan na lang ni Aiden ang dalaga hanggang sa makapasok ito sa banyo. Tumayo na rin siya at nag bihis, good thing Sam is with her grandparents since yesterday. Inayos niya ang kama at pinulot ang mga damit na nag kalat sa sahig, agad na bumaling ang kanyang mata ng muling bumukas ang pinto at lumabas doon si Amethyst na nakatali na ang buhok, his eyes travelled to her body.

"You look good on my shirt."

Amethyst rolled her eyes, nag lakad ito palapit sa bedside table upang kuhain ang cellphone niya.

"Bet you would still look good wearing a rug."

"You are complementing me so much." Wika nito. "I'm hungry."

"What do you want to eat?" Mabilis na wika ni Aiden. "I'll buy it for—"

"Ipag luto mo ako."

Aiden look away and smile kinagat nito ang hinlalaki upang itago ang nararamdamang kilig. He cleared his throat and nodded.

"Sure, hintayin na lang kita sa baba."

Malakas na natawa si Amethyst, nag mamadali kasi itong umalis. Napailing na lang si Amethyst, tinawagan niya ang ina upang kausapin si Sam kaso ay tulog pa daw ito so she decided to call her later. She's planning to file a leave as she wants to spend more time with Samantha's and Aiden, that thought made her smile. Nang makababa ay nanubig ang labi niya sa masarap na aroma na nag mumula sa kusina, nag lakad siya palapit doon at napangiti ng makita si Aiden na seryosong nag luluto.

Mahina siyang natawa ng amkita ang apron na suot nito, it was a yellow apron. He is also wearing her cute yellow head band, he is a fine ass man wearing an apron that can't even fit on him. Dahan dahan siyang nag lakad palapit sa binata, he was busy that he didn't notice her standing behind him. At nang humarap ito ay muntik ng mabasag ang hawak nitong plato sa gulat.

Malakas ang naging tawa ni Amethyst dahil sa pamumutla ng binata, she gasped for air but continued laughing. Agad naman na sumimangot si Aiden, inilapag niya ang plato sa lababo at binuta si Amethyst. Her face flushed at what he just did pinalupot nito braso sa kanyang beywang.

"Is it funny?" He whispered seductively.

Amethyst nodded before looking away, hindi niya kaya ang tension sa pagitan nilang dalawa, Aiden walk towards the counter para siyang batang inilapag ni Aiden sa ibabaw habang ang kanyang mga hita ay naka pulupot sa beywang nito.

"Y-yung niluluto mo." Nauutal niyang wika. "Baka masunog..."

Aiden chuckled, hinaplos nito ang mukha ng dalaga na tila pinag aaralan ang bawat parte ng kanyang mukha before he slowly lean for a kiss.

"What are we?" He whispered. "Tell me..."

Maski siya ay hindi alam ang sagot sa tanong ng binata, ano nga ba sila? They had s*x but does it end their when they both wanted it?

"Hindi ko alam..." Mahina niyang bulong. "A-ano ba tayo?"

Aiden chuckled, ang kamay nito ay gumapang sa kanyang hita paakyat sa kanyang tiyan. She gasped at the sensation she's feeling, ramdam niya ang kiliti sa bawat haplos ng binata. Is she getting whipped again? Handa na ba siya sa panibaging commitment sa lalaking minsan na rin siyang sinaktan? Madami siyang katanungan sa sarili na hindi mabigyan ng sagot.

"Can I court you?"

Napatanga na lang si Amethyst sa tanong ng binata, tinanggal nito ang kamay sa kanyang tiyan at ngumiti.

"Can I? I will prove myself that I'm deserving of you Babe...."

"Babe..." Amethyst whispered. "May call sign agad man liligaw ka palang?"

Malakas na napatawa si Aiden at tumango.

"I miss calling you Babe..." He said and lean for another kiss. "Can I kiss you?'

"You just did!" She hissed. "Why do you keep on kissing me without permission?" Galit galitan niyang tugon.

"I Like kissing you... I miss kissing you, Amethyst I will prove myself to you so you won't have any doubt about my love."

Ramdam niya ang sinseridad sa tinig nito, marahan siyang tumango at ngumiti.

"Prove me then but for now let's eat I'm really starving."

Aiden chuckled and nodded, lumayo ito sa kanya at nag lakad palapit sa lababo inayos nito ang platings at lamesa, pinag masdan niya lang ito sa ginagawa. They sat infront of the table, her mouth watered at the sight infront of her ang dami kasing niluto ni Aiden.

"Ang dami naman nito." Natatawa niyang wika.

Aiden nodded, pinag sandukan pa siya nito ng kanin na ikinangiti niya.

"You said you are starving so I made a of this." Proud na wika nito.

Napailing na lang si Amethyst at nag simula ng kumain ngunit napatigil din ng mapansin na hindi kumakain ang binata he was just looking at her.

"Hindi ka ba kakain?"

"How is it?" Tanong nito. "The food? How is it?"

Amethyst nodded, muli siyang tumikim ng ulam at ngumiti.

"It's good, hindi parin nag babago."

Aiden sighed in relief.

"Akala ko hindi na ako marunong."

"Bakit?"

Tumingin siya sa mata ng dalaga at ngumuti. Aside from being a Doctor he also wants to be a good chef but choose to save lives more.

"I stopped cooking when we broke up." Wika nito.

Ang alam niya ay gustong gusto din ni Aiden ang pag luluto, so she didn't know why would he stopped doing things he love just because they broke up.

"I can't cook anymore, wala din naman kakain ng luto ko."

"You have Tess back there.", Mapakla niyang wika.

"Can I tell you a secret?" Wika nito.

Amethyst gulp, she's curious pero ayaw niyang ipahalata iyon sa binata kaya't marahan siyang tumango.

"I never... Stop loving you Amethyst, Duwag ako pero mahal kita." Wika nito. "Pero ngayon? Ipag lalaban kita kahit saan, Kahit mawala pa sakin lahat It doesn't matter. I just want you and our Sam, okay na ako doon."

Amethyst didn't realize her tears dropping, mabilis niyang pinunasan iyon at nag iwas ng tingin. The thing that she wanted for her relationship with Aiden is now happening.

"I will always be grateful that Moon made me realize the most beautiful I had lost, he treasured you, loved you and he fight beside you. I want to show you that I can do the same, so let me."

Amethyst nodded.

"You have all the time in the world Mr, Aiden Montefalco. Ipakita mo sakin lahat ng sinasabi mo."

----

Hindi mawala ang ngiti sa labi ni Aiden habang nag lalakad papunta sa kanyang opisina. Hinatid niya ang kanyang mag ina and Amethyst is not the same Amethyst whose showing no affection towards him anymore even that smallest details can always make his day.

"Good morning Doc, nasa loob po ang Mommy niyo."

Aiden frown, hindi ugali ni Keana ang mag punta sa hospital ng ganoon na lang or she would summon him to their mansion. Nag mamadali siyang pumasok sa loob at nakita ang ina na nakaupo sa sofa.

"Mama..." He said, nag lakad siya palapit dito at naupo sa tabi ng ginang. "What are you doing here?"

Agad na ngumiti si Keana at binigyan ng yakap ang anak.

"Wala naman namiss ko lang ang panganay ko."

"Miss din po kita Mama." He said. "Thank you for loving me unconditionally."

Keana nodded, hinaplos nito ang ulo ng anak never once she treat Aiden differently kahit hindi nang galing sa kanya ang binata ay minamahal at patuloy niyang mamahalin si Aiden na parang tunay na anak.

"Of course, you are my dear Aiden by blood or not." She whispered. "Can I ask you something?"

Aiden nodded, naupo ito ng maayos at hinarap ang ginang.

"Of course Mama anything."

Keana smile.

"Vanna Liane Chen.... Have you met her?"

Aiden frost, ang kanina niyang masayang mukha ay napalitan ng takot at kaba. Napayuko na lang si Aiden at marahang tumango.

"Opo..." He whispered in a trembling voice. "I'm sorry Mama."

Hinaplos ni Keana ang mukha ng anak at ngumiti.

"No, don't be... Karapatan mong makilala ang tunay mong ina Aiden. And I'm glad that you have met your mother before she died."

"Paano—"

"Aiden ina mo ako, I will always make sure that you won't get in trouble nung umalis ka papuntang italy? Alam ko ng may problema nit just you but also to Amethyst. Hindi lang kami nag sasalita ng ama niyo pero binabantayan namin ang bawat galaw niyo. At isa pa, hindi rin ako naniniwala na patay na si Vanna, she's my best friend."

Hindi na napigilan ni Aiden ang maluha how can Keana called his mother her best friend when Vanna broke and betrayed her?

"Matanda na kami Aiden, All we want is your happiness and I'm really happy you have met your mother before she passed away... Masaya din ako na nag kausap pa kami bago siya mawala."

"W-what?"

Keana chuckled.

"We have forgiven each other Aiden, wala ng galit dito matagal na." Wika ni Keana habang nakahawak sa kanyang dibdib. "Si Amethyst? Malambot ang batang iyon. That is why she fell in love with Moon kasi kay Moon niya nakita yung mga bagay na hinahanap niya sayo. Then Moon left her, she was so broke I witnessed that at awang awa ako sa anak ko."

"Mama...."

Mahigpit na hinawakan ni Keana ang kanyang kamay.

"Fight for her this time, Alam kong mahal na mahal mo parin si Amethyst at nakikita ko sa kanya na mahal ka din niya she will never forget Moon but she needs to move forward. Love my daughter Aiden, protect her at all cost."

-----

Malawak ang ngiti ni Aiden sa labi habang hinihintay si Amethyst na lumabas he texted her saying that he is waiting for her. Sana lang ay nabasa niya iyon. A smile spread on his lips when he saw her walking towards the door.

"Hi!" He cheerfully said greeting her. "For you."

Agad naman na tinanggap ni Amethyst ang bulaklak at malapad na ngumiti.

"Anong meron?"

"I'm courting you, hindi ba halata?"

Amethyst rolled her eyes but she gasped when Aiden pull her for a kiss. Dali dali siyang humiwalay sa binata dahil baka may makakita sa kanila.

"Aiden! Baka may makakita satin."

"Why? Are you scared?" Malungkot na wika nito.

Amethyst sighed.

"No, I just thought you—"

Aiden didn't gave her the chance to finish her sentence because he kiss her again.

"I told you right? I will show the world how much I love you."

Amethyst smile and nodded.

"Pero hindi pa tayo bakit halik ka na ng halik?"

"You are not complaining." Natatawang wika nito. "Umuwi na tayo, Sam is waiting."
