Love Moves In Mysterious Ways Chapter 5

Chapter Five: Hold On

Paul went rushing downstairs to see what Van has prepared for their dinner but he slipped in the stairs (POV: The stairs are 2 steps only. He will not die.). Van rushed to catch Paul.

Paul: Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Van: HOLD ON….

Van caught Paul but on his back.

Van: Are you alright?

Paul: Yes, I’m alright. Are you OK?

Van: Yes I’m fine.

Paul: Thanks for catching me.

Van: It’s nothing. Next time, be careful in rushing down the stairs.

Paul: Ok I will.

Van: By the way, dinner is served.

Paul’s eyes widened when he saw what Van prepared for their dinner. He cooked Kare-kare, dinuguan, adobo, Bicol Express and kaldereta.

Paul: Wow, where’s the fiesta? Why did you cooked these many viands?

Van: Nothing. I loved cooking that’s all.

Paul: Ok… but can we eat all this?

Van: Yes, you don’t have to worry if we can’t eat all of this food, we can store it in the refrigerator. It can last for 2-3 days.

Paul: Oh ok. Let’s eat.

Van: Ok… which one will you dig in first?

Paul: I can’t make up my mind. I’m thinking if I’ll eat kare-kare  first or kaldereta? Kare-kare is my favorite but I also like kaldereta. Ummmmmm….

Van: I think you should choose kaldereta because I made it extra special.

Paul: Ok.

Van: Yup.

Paul ate the menudo first but to his surprise the kaldereta was very spicy like your mouth is about to explode.

Paul: WATERRRR!!!!! I need water…

Van: Here, drink this… then you go to the faucet and gargle.

Paul drank the water then went to the faucet. After that he felt ok and went back to the dining table.

Paul: It almost burned my intestine.

Van: Opps, sorry didn’t knew you are not used to very hot food.

Paul: Why do you like very spicy foods?

Van: Did I mentioned to you that I’m a Bicolano?

Paul: Nope.

Van: Now you know.

Paul: Oh ok.

Van: Sorry for the food.

Paul: It’s ok you don’t have to be sorry. You’re used to those food so you cooked it. It’s not you fault.

Van: Thanks for understanding. I’ll just cook you something not spicy.

Paul: No it’s ok. I like kare-kare and dinuguan too so don’t cook another food.

Van: If you say so then ok.

The two ate dinner and talked about their interests, like, dislikes and many more. They couldn’t consume all of the food so they saved some for breakfast. They placed it in the refrigerator and took out a sachet of popcorn and a bottle of softdrink. They put the popcorn sachet inside the oven and waited until it popped. As they wait, they went to the sala to look for a movie to watch. They chose the movie “GHOST RIDER”. They went back to the kitchen to get the popcorn, softdrink and glasses. Then they played the movie and seated in the couch. As they watch the movie, they eat and chat at the same time as if they are not watching a movie.

Paul: So you’re a Bicolano.

Van: Yes, my mom is a Bicolana and my father is a Manileño.

Paul: Oh ok. So every summer you go to Bicol?

Van: Yup. Can I ask you something?

Paul: What is it?

Van: Do you mind if you come with me to Bicol? If it’s ok with you?

Paul: Sure I’d like to go to Bicol. Is it ok with your mom?

Van: It’s ok with her. Actually she is the one who asks me if I can bring some of my friends to Bicol.

Paul: Oh is that so. Yehey, we’re going to Bicol this summer.

Van: I’m so happy you will come with me to Bicol. I’ll tell my mom that you will be the first of my friends to come to Bicol.

Paul: Really I’m the first one to come to your house in Bicol?

Van: Yes, remember I told you that I don’t have a friend that I can trust.

Paul: Does that mean you trust me?

Van: I trust you because you trust me. Right?

Paul: Yes, bespren. (Laughs)

Van: (Laughs) Thanks bespren.

Paul: Glad you’re my bestfriend.

Van: I think I’m the one whose gonna say that.

Paul: Maybe we are destined to be bestfriends.

Van: How can you say that?

Paul: We are two people living in opposite worlds. One that is the world of popularity and the other one is the world of simplicity.

Van: What do you mean?

Paul: I mean that you are from a world where people know you and you are very popular to them because you’re handsome, a boy-next-door type and a campus heartthrob.

Van: But you see I don’t like to be that person. I just wanted to be a simple guy who wants a normal life. (Looks at Paul through the eyes) Just like you.

Paul: Me? You don’t want to be me I’m telling you.

Van: Why?

Paul: Basta… it’s something personal.

Van: Oh ok.

Paul: The movie’s about to end.

Van: Yah I didn’t notice.

Paul: What do you want to do after this?

Van: I think I would like to sleep now. We’ve had a very rough day today.

Paul: Oo nga no…Ok let’s go to my room.

Van: So where is your room?

Paul: Upstairs in the right.

Van: Can go there first? Do you have a bathroom there? And can I borrow from you a sando?

Paul: Yes. I’ll just clean up this mess then I’ll be there.

Van: OK.

Van went to Paul’s room while Paul is cleaning their mess. When Van arrived in Paul’s room, Van removed his t-shirt and shorts to take a bath.

Van: Wow, Paul sure has a big bathroom. Ouch my back hurts from Paul’s fall.

After Paul finished cleaning up he turned off the lights and went upstairs to his room.

Paul: Van where are you?

Van: I’m inside the bathroom. I’ll be there in a minute.

Paul: Ok… I’ll just change my clothes. Can I enter the bathroom?

Van: Yes, you can. It not locked so you can enter.

Paul: Thanks.

Paul’s shower is a see-through glass with blurred design below so you can see the person inside but not the vital part. Paul was shocked of what he saw. Van has a muscular body, fair complexion and nice abs. Paul felt that his sweat is running through his face. He turned around and went to get clothes for him and Van.

Paul: Ok I-I’ll g-go outside n-now…

Van: Ok…

Paul went out of the bathroom with sweat all over his face. His heart is beating faster and faster by the minute. He removed his clothes, placed it in the basket full of dirty clothes and changed his clothes then went to bed. Van went out of the bathroom with just a towel on his waist. Paul was surprised seeing Van in that way. Van’s abs are 6-packed and very firm.

Paul: Here’s your sando and boxer.

Van: Ok just place it there.

Paul: Nice body.

Van: Thanks. I’ve been building this body since my high school days.

Paul: Oh ok.

Paul felt that his whole body reached its highest temperature when Van removed the towel. He saw Van’s smooth butt and large ----. (Minors don’t read this!)

Van: What are you staring at?

Paul: Nothing…

Van: OK… I thought you are looking at my ----.

Paul: No I’m not looking at your ----.

Van: It’s ok with me if your looking at my ----, where both men naman ‘di ba?

Paul: O-oo naman…

Paul lay down on the bed first because he is still dizzy. After Van finished putting on his clothes, he went to bed and looked at Paul.

Van: You know I’m not used to have a companion when sleeping.

Paul: Really? Why?

Van: Because I sometimes hug my companion when I’m asleep.

Paul: Ahhhh ok…

Van: SO better watch out for my arms…

Paul turned off the lights and went to sleep. At about 1 o’ clock in the morning, Paul noticed something heavy on his body. He opened his eyes and saw Van’s leg and arm above him. He can also feel Van’s crotch touching his leg. He felt his cock arousing so he decided to removed Van’s arm and leg off of him but he can’t move a bit. Van moved but now they are facing each other. Van’s lips are close to Paul’s lips as if they are about to kiss. Paul’s heart is beating very fast. Paul kept on pulling himself out but the unexpected happened. Paul and Van kissed. Paul can’t explain his feeling because he kind of like it. He felt that he is falling in love with Van. Van doesn’t know that he accidentally kissed Paul because he is sleeping very soundly. Paul can’t think of anything but Van. He closed his eyes and fell asleep thinking of Van. He opened his eyes and found out that it was already morning and Van is not beside him. He thought for a moment that the kiss last night was just a dream until Van came inside the room with a breakfast tray with a rose on a small vase. Paul was shocked and can’t believe what was happening.

Paul: What is this?

Van: Your food silly.

Paul: Why did you bring me this?

Van: For you to eat. Breakfast in bed is good.

Paul: But I’m not sick.

Van: Do those who are sick the only ones who need breakfast in bed?

Paul: No, but why are you doing this?

Van: Nothing. I just wanted to surprise you.

Paul: Fortunately you’re successful in surprising me actually I’m very much surprised.

Van: I’m very happy now.

Paul: Why?

Van: Because I have you as my best friend.

Paul: That’s sweet of you.

Van: Hahaha if you will know me better, you’ll know how romantic and sweet I am.

Paul: Oh really???

Van: Yup, eat up your breakfast. I’ll just freshen up then we’ll go down stairs.

Paul: Ok the towel is inside the bathroom.

Van: Ok.

Van went to the bathroom to take a shower. He didn’t close the door too much so that Paul can see him. He removed his clothes and went inside the shower. Paul noticed what Van had done. He took a peek at the door and saw…
