He Married the Stripper.

Filler.

---NARRATOR---

"Anong gusto mong gawin ko, Emily?! Lumuhod sa harap ng nurses don? Mag-makaawa sa technician?!" Alex looked up as he heard the loud voice of Emily's aunt as she came out from her room and to the kitchen. 

"Is her phone on speaker? How can someone speak so loudly over the phone?" He wondered as he watch Emily get a glass of water.

"Tita, baka naman po---" 

"Ano?! Baka ano?! Baka si Aliya nakawala nung envelope?! Mas paniniwalaan mo pa yung mga taong hindi mo naman kilala kesa sa pinsan mo?! Aba Emily---" Emily put the phone down on the table and took some pain reliever from the medicine cabinet. Her head hurts from all the screaming and her body's also punishing her for being a woman. All she wants to do is to sleep the day away but of course she can't. Problems just seem to pile up one after the other every time she wants to relax.

Her Lolo Erwin needs to get some tests done but her cousin Aliya lost the requisitions. It could have been easily resolved if it was just that though they can just call the doctor's office and get another one written up and sent to them but of course nothing is ever easy when it comes to the Lagman's because they also failed to make an appointment and the clinic is about to close.

"Kailangan na daw bukas ng doctor yung resulta dahil magba-bakasyon daw! Kung bakit ba naman doktor sya tapos magba-bakasyon?! Hindi ba nya alam na maraming pasyente ang nangangailangan ng tulong niya?! Dapat araw-araw bukas ang mga clinic pano nalang kung may emergency?!" Sigaw na naman ni Aura.

Emily trudged back to her room, trying to get a word in and let her Aunt know that she needs to hang up and call whoever she needs to call so they can fix the problem but Aura being Aura just refuses to shut up. Emily's tempted to hang up but she can't because as soon as she does, she'll once again face her wrath and this time for being rude.

"Does she even know I'm home?"  Alex frowned as Emily completely ignored him. She didn't even spare a glance his way, if he was a robber or a r*pist she could have been in big trouble. Thank God they live in a gated community. 

How can she not know he's right there? He purposely came home early too because she texted him saying she's home from the bakery although she's supposed to be done later tonight. He thought it was code for sex since she didn't sleep with him last night and she knows he's been sulking about it.

"I thought she was trying to make up with me. What's going on with her family that she's so out of it now?" He grabbed his phone and called Angelo.

"What's going on?" He asked as soon as he picked up.

---ALEX---

- okay. I'll handle it. -Gina.

I placed my phone down beside me pressed play on the remote control and focused on the movie I've chosen after minutes of scrolling through the whole catalog. After a few minutes, I heard her bedroom door open and felt her sit beside me on the couch. I didn't look at her. 

"I didn't know you were already home." She said. 

"You were busy on the phone. I thought I was invisible."

"Sorry. Magka-usap na sina Gina and Angelo, sila na daw bahala." I nodded, my eyes still focused on the TV.

"Thank you." She said as she gave me a peck on the cheek, I looked at her.

"That's it?" I asked her. She looked at me cluelessly. 

"That's not enough. Dapat dito." I smirked at her as I pointed at my lips.

"Seriously?" She raised her eyebrows. 

"I was ignored in my own home. I need to be compensated properly." I said dramatically, pouting a little bit too. She rolled her eyes but nonetheless moved closer to me and gave me a peck on the lips but before she can pull back, I kissed her deeper.

"You know you can talk to me about these things. It would've saved you the headache if you just asked me in the first place." I told her as I pulled her to my lap.

"I didn't want to bother you." She said breathlessly as I started trailing kisses from her lips down to her neck.

"You're never a bother to me. Besides my way is easier." I told her as my hands moved inside her shirt. She shivered a little from the coldness of my hands or maybe in pleasure? Either way I continued, her hands getting lost in my hair and clutching my shirt.

I like hearing her moan, just hearing her soft voice as I kiss her, touch her or tease her does something in my body that I just can't help but crave for more. If she knows the power she has over me, I wonder if she'll abuse it? If she'll make me beg for her? 

"Aleex... waiiit..." She panted, as I lifted her shirt up stopping me from the process. 

"Hmm... what is it?" I asked, I lifted my head up to look at her. Her eyes were half closed, her lips plump and inviting. How can she ask me to wait when she already look like this? God! I want her.

"Do you want me to stop?" I asked as I teased her breast, my lips inching up towards her neck. She bit her lip and thought about and finally she shook her head. So I continued, I adjusted her position so I can remove her shirt but as soon as her shirt was off she flinched in pain.

"Shit, are you okay?" I asked, not understanding what the hell happened.  

"...cramps." She mumbled as she buried her head on my shoulder. Ahh, of course. That's why she was taking painkillers. I thought it was from all the yelling her aunt was doing.

"Does it still hurt?" She nodded rubbing her sides to ease the pain. She sighed at least she seemed as disappointed as I am.

"Sorry." She mumbled.

"Don't be. Does this help?" I ask as I start massaging her lower back.

"Mmnn..." She gripped my shirt. Seems like I'm not the only one still turned on either.

"You know, I read somewhere, sex helps with cramps." I said as I continued massaging her back, my lips closer than necessary to her ear. 

"We can do it in the shower if you want, less mess." I added when she didn't say anything.

I'm not particularly fond of shower sex but I somehow keep finding myself asking her to do it with me there. She's never said yes though, saying how it's dangerous and one of us is bound to slip. I've never had sex with someone in their period either. That's a serious deal breaker for me, I mean who knows how much blood is gonna be involved and I heard that it can smell worse than actual blood too. So why the hell am I suggesting it to her now? Am I that whipped for her that I end up wanting to do it with her every chance I get? 

"...okay." I heard her mumble. I kissed her neck and carried her to her bathroom. 

Well there's a first time for everything I guess. Besides if it's gonna be as messy as I'm imagining at least its in her bathroom and not mine.
