BRYCE'S POV
Bakit nga ba ang mga babae matagal mag-ayos ng sarili?
Maganda naman sila.
Si Natalie, halos mag-iisang oras ko na siyang hindi nakita dahil nag-aayos para sa party.
Kasabi-sabi pa naman na sasama siya kahit hindi niya halos matandaan ang mga clients and business partners namin...
basta makita lang daw si Ollie.
Okay. I'm coming clean.
I'm jealous.
Yes. I'm her husband. And she treats me like one. Pero may kulang pa rin.
Although alam ko na meron pa ring mga empty spaces sa memory niya, it won't stop me from reminding her that she's the woman I'll ever love.
May narinig akong nagsarang pinto at tumingin ako sa itaas ng hagdanan.
On the topmost flight was the sexiest woman I ever saw. She moved down gracefully from the staircase, wearing the biggest smile. Napansin ko na ang taas ng slit ng damit niya. Abot hita.
I felt something move inside my pants.
"Bryce? Hindi ba maganda? Pwede ko naman palitan." Natalie told me.
I realized that I was acting strangely dahil sa sensation sa pants ko. I quickly shook my head.
"No. Wag na." I took her hand. "Ang ganda naman ng asawa ko." I told her.
She blushed and smiled at me.
"Thank you, Bryce." she replied.
....
"Bryce?" Natalie called me.
"Yes, love?"
"Meron ba akong endearment para sayo?" tanong niya.
We're driving now to RossCorp. Naka-upo si Natalie sa passenger side and she seemed absorbed in looking at me. If I could only capture her face at this very moment, it would be worth more than anything in my life.
"Meron pero, it depended sa moods mo." I replied.
"Talaga? Paano?" she asked me.
"You call me 'Bryce' and 'Babe' everyday. 'Honey' naman pati 'Love' pag gusto mong maging sweet sa akin. 'Sweetie' lang pag malapit ka na mag-'errupt' sa galit mo." I replied.
In fact, I very well remember all these times.
....
Nandito na kami ngayon sa RossCorp. Pina-valet ko na lang sasakyan para makasama ko si Natalie sa loob ng kumpanya.
Marami ring napatingin nang pumasok kami sa lobby.
Sino namang hindi? Ang ganda-ganda ng asawa ko.
"Love, tense ka?" I asked her.
"H-ha? A-ano? Ah.. Oo." she said.
Tumawa ako sa sinabi ni Natalie.
She frowned. "Palibhasang ikaw, marami ka pang natatandaan sa kanila." she said.
I patted her hand. "Love, sorry na. I was only laughing kasi natandaan ko kung gaano ka kaganda kahit kinakabahan ka."
She blew out a sigh. "Isa pa, Bryce. Ayaw ko sanang magalit sayo pero you leave me with no choice."
"Natalie, love, sorry na talaga." I said.
NAT'S POV
Paminsan, ang sarap ring buwisitin si Bryce. Lalo na ngayon.
"Stop talking to me, Bryce." sabi ko.
