"You're still mine, walang break up na naganap. I refuse to believe all of the words you said that night." He whispered right behind my ears. Making me stood there in shock, feet aren't able to move and I feel like both of them are cemented. Cold sweats started building on my forehead as I can still feel his hot breath on my neck.

"Jiro.." I breathed out, he moved away and that's when I can finally take a deep breath. I wipe my sweat and held my forehead.

I hear him chuckle and I glance up at him.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked, trying to keep my cool.

He look at me and smiled before shaking his head.

"Nothing.. its funny how... I give you hardtime." He said and my brows furrowed.

"What do you mean?" I confusedly, he take few steps back and fix his coat.

"I like how you loose yourself when I'm around. I can confirm that I still have the place in your heart." He confidently said.

I scoffed, "Wala akong sinabi na ganun." I sternly said, he once again started chuckling which just sends shivers down my spine.

Keep your cool Laura. Hindi ka magpapahalata. You don't miss him diba? You don't need him. You don't love him anymore. You ended your relationship years ago. There's no reason for you to be affected on any move he does or any words he say.

"Come on Laura, we both know I'm not dumb. The way you just tensed up when I came and how you breathed out my name is.. sexy." He said and my eyes widened.

"Bastos!" I said before grabbing my bag from the chair in front of Ali's table and before I can even reach the door knob, he grabbed my wrist and spin me around to face him. Our stomachs touching making me loose my control even more.

"Bastos? I didn't even say anything like that." He said as he pull me closer to his body. My hands on his chest as I try to push him away from me or the other way around, push myself away from him.

"Jiro ano ba?! Let me go! Lumayo ka nga sa'kin!" I exclaimed as I have a hard time creating a space between the two of us.

"Okay, I'll let you go, but you'll be eating dinner with me, here. You'll stay at my clinic as I take the last hour of my shift." He said and my brows furrowed.

"That's  non sense! That's worse than this! Just let me go!" I shout as I started hitting his chest and try to push him away. But his hands on my back kept on pulling me closer to him.

"Ano ba!! Jiro!! Stop this! Pakawalan mo na 'ko! Baka may makakita pa sa atin! Just fucking leave and do your jo-

I was cut off by his soft, plumpy lips, touching mine. I tried to push him during the first seconds, but as I felt his other hand traveled to the back of my head. Pulling my head closer to his as he deepen the kiss, I can't help but to give in and respond to the kiss.

Both of my hands traveling to his neck, clinging my arms to his broad shoulder. I closed my eyes and tilt my head a bit. Taking pleasure of tasting his lips for the first time as we have never done anything close to this during our teenage days.

I felt his tongue brushing to my lower lip and I slightly parted my lips from each other but only for him to shove his tongue inside, making me catch for my breath. The kiss started to get sloppy as the sounds of us making out inside Ali's office echoed through the whole room.

I felt him lift me up from the ground and the next thing I felt is me landing on the patient bed and Jiro placing himself between my legs.

He lean closer, making me lean back on the wall. His other hand beside my head, leaning on the wall as his other still behind my head. I felt his tongue go wild inside my wet cavern. Tasting the every part of it.

My hand traveled to his hair as I grab a fistful of his black lacks. I heard him groan which turn me on a bit. His lips left my lips and went down my jawline down to my collarbone, giving me the chance to catch my breath as I started moaning his name from the pleasure of his kisses.

"Jiro~.." I moaned as I grip tighter on his hair. I felt him started sucking certain spots which made me moan louder.

"Jiro!~ Shit.. you'll leave a mark." I moaned, I hear him chuckle before leaving a soft kiss on the exact place he sucked and planting a soft kiss on my lips. He pull away making me catch my breath.

I wipe the side of my lips and remove some strands of hair from my face before looking at him. I saw him there, standing but smiling.

"Now tell me.. gusto mo pa rin ba na  layuan kita?" He teasingly asked, I glared at him and fix my shirt and just sat there glaring at him.

"Mukhang ayaw mo, I don't believe in silence means yes. So I take that as a no." He said and faced his back at me, my eyes widened and without thinking straight..

"Jiro.." I called his name. He immediately turn around and gave me a teasing smile.

"Yes Ms. Milendez? I thought you want me to leave?" He asked and I glared at him.

"After what you did? After what we did?" I asked, raising my brows.

I hear him chuckle which I find so attractive. I never think I will find someone attractive just by them chuckling.

"I like that attitude Ms. Milendez, ganiyan ba ang ginawa sa'yo ng New York?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.

"But I'm not complaining though." He said before slowly walking towards my direction once again.

"So tell me Ms. Milendez.. what do you want?" He asked in a deep voice which made me loose my mind once again.

I wasn't able to answer as I don't know what I want. I want him to stay, I want him to stay with me, I want him beside him. I want him in my life once again. But I don't know how. I don't know how to say it.

"Answer me Ms. Milendez, what do you want from me?" He asked, leaning closer to my face, making me swallow the lump in my throat.

"I.. I w-want you." I mumbled, I hear him chuckle and pull away.

"You're just.. aroused Ms. Milendez, you don't want to do it." He said and my eyes widened.

I immediately shake my head, "No, I mean.. not that kind of want, but.. I want you. Again." I said and he look at me straight to the eyes and raised his left brow.

"Ahh.. I get it, you're up for the dinner I'm talking about awhile ago?" He asked, I bit my lower lip, hanging my head low and slowly nodding.

"Yes, and.. I want to.. see your clinic." I shyly said, and once again lift my head and meets his eyes.

He tilt his head and squints his eyes, "Yung clinic ba talaga ang gusto mong makita.. or may iba ka na gustong gawin?" He asked and my eyes widened.

"Of course the clinic! Ano pa ba!" I shout and he burts out laughing.

"Okay.. okay, yung clinic ang gusto mong makita. Wala nang iba." He said and I glared at him. He grab my hand and pull me down the patient bed before pulling me once again to his arms.

"Jiro-

"Wait lang, ilang seconds lang." He cut me off, I sigh and just let him do what he wants, swaying our bodies a bit.

"I'm happy you're back, I'm happy you're back to me." He mumbled before pulling away from the hug. He remove few strands of my hair away from my face and planting a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Lets go, I have few patient to check then we can have our early dinner." He said and I nod and soon we exit Ali's clinic. Ali's poor clinic, gosh, what would Ali say if she finds out I had a make out session with Jiro in her clinic?!

We enter an elevator and goes to a higher floor. The whole time inside the elevator is awkward for me. I kept my mouth shut and try to brush the thought that we just had a make out session awhile ago.

I'm not innocent or dumb to now know what happened. I know during those time, we were both craving for each other. After years of being separated from each other. After years of that awful night to the both of us. I know we both craved for each other. But I didn't know its 'that' kind of craving.

The elevator opened and he went out first, leading the way. I followed him from behind like a lost puppy. I have put on my mask and lower down my head a bit do that if ever sa patient sees us, they won't recognize me, hopefully.

"We're here." He said as he opened the door of his clinic. He step aside to give me space to proceed inside. I look around his office and hear him close the door.

"You're a surgeon for what again?" I curiously asked.

He stood there and smiled, "Cardiothoracic surgeon." He replied and I slowly nod.

"Which you do surgeries sa..?"

"Lungs, heart, around the chest area." He replied and I slowly nod.

"May na-operahan ka nang babae?" I suddenly ask as I started walking towards some pictures of human body.

I hear him burst out laughing which made me turn my head at him.

"Anong nakakatawa?" I asked, he stopped himself from laughing and look at me.

"Wala naman.. wala." He said and I squinted my eyes.

"Tell me." I sternly said.

He once again burst out laughing and nod, "Fine, ikaw naman kasi. Kahit naman babae ang ino-operahan ko, wala namang malisya 'yon. Ikaw talaga Ms. Milendez, masyado kang selosa." He said and I rolled my eyes, before walking towards other parts of his clinic. I can feel him following me from behind that I try to ignore. Until I stopped at his table and saw a picture frame.

"Si lola? Asaan na siya?" I asked before turning my body to face him.

He look at me with blank expression before speaking, "Let's not talk about her for now, please." He said and I slowly nod. Immediately feeling the guilt that I have probably said something wrong.

"Oh.. sorry, hindi ko sinasadya na banggitin." I said and I hear him chuckle.

"Its nothing, it's fine, wala ka pa namang alam. But.. I'll tell you soon about her, you deserve to know." He said and I slowly nod. He walk pass by me and went to his chair and started flipping papers from the clipboard on his table.

I pursed my lips and look around, almost just like Ali's, there's also a patient bed here. There's some human apparatus and other apparatus connected to his speciality.

I bit my lower lip as I suddenly feel tired. I feel tired from negotiating about the commercial place awhile ago. I'm tired from walking and standing up since there's no any chair in that medium sized room.

An unexpected yawn escaped my lips that caught his attention. I heard him chuckle and my head snap at him.

"Sorry," I mumbled as I lean on the patient table, he shake his head.

"Its fine, you're tired?" He asked and I slowly nod. He nod as well and stand up from his seat.

"Grabe, 'yon palang ginawa natin napagod ka agad?" He said while walking towards me. I glared at him and slap him on his shoulder making him chuckle.

"Hindi, biro lang. Lets go.." he said and pull me away from the patient bed.

"Where?" I confusedly asked as he pull me to a door.

"I have a bedroom here in my clinic. Most of the doctors here have." He said as he open the door and inside is a single bed, a small table and one chair, a small closer and another door which I suppose is a bathroom.

"You can sleep here first as I check on my patients." He softly said, I sat down on the small bed and immediately felt the comfort.

"Matatagalan ka?" I asked as I lay down on his bed. He faced his small closet and remove his coat.

"Hindi naman masyado, I'm not sure honestly." He said and I slowly nod before closing my eyes. I hear few noises from him before something softly landed on my side.

"You might want to change clothes, pinawisan ka kanina." He said, I open my eyes and saw a white shirt beside my hands.

I used my elbow to lift myself up and tilt my head.

"No need, I'm fine." I said and he squints his eyes.

I hear him flick his tongue, "I was holding your back the whole time, Laura. You were sweating so bad." He sternly said, I sigh and sat up before grabbing the shirt and walking towards the small door where a bathroom is at.

I changed to his shirt which is big to me but I was able to tuck it in my pants and style it.

"Does it look fine?" I asked him as I went out the bathroom, from his bed he look at me, head to toe and nod.

"Of course, you already look great, idagdag mo pa yung damit ko." He said and I rolled my eyes and put down my shirt to his small table and walk back towards the bed.

"Akala ko ba you'll go check your patients?" I asked as I lay down on his bed, him at my side, sitting down while looking at me.

"Gustong-gusto mo talaga na pina-paalis ako 'no?" He said and I chuckled before slightly slapping his arm.

"Sige na, go do your job first. Your patient's conditions are important." I said and he nod before standing up and picking up his coat, putting it on which I find so attractive.

Before he leave the bedroom he look at me and smiled, "Go take a rest, pag gising mo, kakain na tayo." He said and I nod. Closed the door and few seconds later I can hear the main door closing.

I lay down on my side and inhale teh scent of his pillow. So this is how his soft lacks smell? It smells so relaxing and nice.

I felt soft taps on my shoulder, I slowly open my eyes and see Jiro sitting down beside me. As my vision got clearer, I sat up and fix my messed up hair.

"Kanina ka pa?" I asked, he look at hsi wrist watch and shake his head.

"Hindi naman, around 15 minutes." He replied and I slowly nod.

"Let's have dinner?" He asked and I slowly nod. He stand up and I did as well. Following him back to his office and picking up my bag that I accidentally left on his patient table.

I put my mask on as we entered the elevator. We arrived at the ground floor where their cafeteria is at.

"Are you sure you want to eat here? May mga relatives ng pasyente dito. What if let's just eat sa Max's? Malapit lang naman dito, walking distance actually." He said as we are in front of the counter. I look at him and nod.

"Sure, ikaw bahala, sumusunod lang naman ako sayo." I said and he nod before reaching for my hand and started walking towards the exit. He have been holding my hand for the past minutes but my heart just won't stop beating fast.

We exited the hospital and I realized he's still on his coat which made me chuckle a bit but he didn't noticed. We entered the Max's restaurant and we proceed to the counter.

"What do you want? My treat." He said and my brows furrowed.

"No, my food is on me." I said and he flicked his tongue, massaging his temples.

"We are not gonna argue about this Laura." He said,

"We're not, if papayagan mo akong magbayad ng food ko." I said and he sigh.

"Fine, so stubborn." He said and I smiled.

"I'll have chicken sisig with rice and here is my.. cash." I said as I hand him a five hundred peso bill.

"Okay.. akin nalang sukli?" He asked and I look at him dumbfounded but he immediately chuckled.

"Biro lang.. ibabalik ko sayo ang sukli." He said and I slowly nod.

He told me to pick a table as he give our orders. So I did and pick a table for 4. I don't want squishing the two of us to a small one. I pull out my phone but kept my mask on. I also picked a table that is at the corner so we won't be too recognized.

Few minutes later I see him walking towards me with a tray ok his  hand that contains two pineapple juice.

"45 minutes." He said as he sit down, I pouted and sigh.

"Tagal pa.." I mumbled and I hear him chuckle.

"Gutom kana talaga 'no?" He said and I slowly nod.

"Anong oras na ba?" I asked,

He look at his wrist watch and sigh, "8:30pm," he said and my eyes widened.

"Seryoso?! I remember going to your clinic around.. 6pm, sabi mo hindi ka matatagalan?" I exclaimed and he clasped both of his hands together on the table.

"Alam kong napasarap yung tulog mo sa kama ko, so I didn't bother waking you up nung bumalik ako around 7pm, I just checked some papers and waited for 8pm to come." He said and my brows furrowed.

I raised my brows, "You said you only wanted for 15 minutes?" I asked and he chuckled.

"Sorry.. I lied." He said and I shake my head. He pull out his phone and I suppose he will put his attention there. So I just pull out mine as well and wasted my time there while waiting.

A waiter came and gave us our orders. I have my chicken sisig and he have his sizzling rice bowl. We started eating silently. While eating I can't help but to steal glances. Which at some points, he would catch me looking. But he didn't utter any word.

"Ito nga pala yung sukli mo." He said when we came back to his office.

"Thanks," I said and put the change back inside my wallet. He remove his coat and put it on his small closet, I just stood there like a kid watching him.

Should I leave now? What time does his shift ends? Wala ba siyang trabaho sa ibang ospital? I'm sure Ali and Gwen are not here anymore and at their second working place.

"Ahn.. I'll get going now. You have your shift pa." I said as I put my bag on my shoulder. He faced me and squints his eyes.

"My shift ends an hour ago already." He said and I slowly nod.

"Then.. to your second work place." I awkwardly said, he chuckled and push his glasses up.

"This is my second workplace." He said and my jaw dropped.

"My first shift starts at 4am to 12pm, second here. 1pm to 7pm." He said and I slowly nod.

"Then.. you should go home na." I said and he chuckled.

"Oo nga.. lets go home na." He said and I nod.

"Sige, uuna na ako." I said and walk towards the door. I was about to twist the knob when he speaks.

"What do you mean? Sabay tayong uuwi, uuwi tayo sa condo ko." He said and my eyes widened. I immediately faced him and I saw how he stop himself from laughing.

"What?! May condo akong sarili! I can go home on my own-

"Dont be stubborn on this one. Pinayagan na kitang bayaran 'yong pagkain mo. Give this one to me." He said and my eyes widened.

"What?! Thats non-sense! Jiro you're being-

"Keep talking or we are having another make out session. Who knows where that session will lead." He said with a smirk on his lips. I glared at him and so he does. The atmosphere went silent and the tension is all over the bedroom.

"Sige.. mamili ka, kapag sa condo ko, sigurado na diretsyo tulog ako, pero kung dito.. hmm, ano kayang magagawa ko?" He teasingly said.

I massaged my temples and let out a frustrated groan.

"Fine! Ang kulit kulit mo!" I screamed and I saw him smirk.

I hear him chuckle as he grab his bag, "Bibigay ka rin pala, pakipot kapa."
