Chapter 69 [Generation]

Enggrande ang gayak ng kanilang backyard nang makarating kami roon. It wasn't on the list of my expectations that it could be this vast, like they could built another mansion in this space. There were sea of people around, not too crowded because the place is spacious enough and everyone seems to be so engaged in their conversation.

The modern, dark pool tiles and clean lines reflect the open-air structure beyond. This in-ground swimming pool surrounded by a sun-dappled garden and canopy of trees is a backyard dream. There were enough lightings, the string lights hanging in the seating area added minimal luminance that made the whole place not too bright, but more romantic.

"Wow. This place speaks so much class and elegance." iyon na lamang ang tangi kong nasambit dahil speechless ako mula pa kanina.

There is a lush lawn, adjacent lounge area, swing sofas that are perfect blend between the benches and hammocks are all visually intriguing. The low hedges are a great visual signifier as well, allowing to keep each activity zone separate. The concrete flooring under the fire pit sitting area looks durable and sturdy while the lawn functions as a nice segue to pool.

Parang dito ko na tuloy gustong tumira. This is Hunter and Jake's property, right? Paampon nalang kaya ako sa kanila? May backyard din naman kami sa bahay pero hindi ganitong karangya, itong kanila ay halatang ginastusan at pinag-isipan ang bawat detalye.

"Well, that's one of the perks of having an interior designer husband. But now Jake works in graphic design, he's pretty much versatile in that expertise."  pahayag ni Blade, hindi binibitiwan ang aking kaliwang kamay.

Sana all versatile. Ako kasi hanggang bottom lang talaga ang kaya ko. I can be versatile when it comes to positions but when it comes to the role, I cannot.

"What are you thinking, baby boy?" he softly poked my cheek using his free hand when I didn't respond. I shook my head to make him think that I don't have any indecent thoughts going around my head.

When he raised our intertwined hands and planted a gentle kiss on top of my hand, I knew I have to pull myself together. Pinagmasdan ko ang aking mumunting kamay na sinakop ng kanyang malaking kamay, nanlalamig ang akin samantalang may taglay na init ang kanya.

Take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man.

"Nothing. Thanks for bringing me here." bulong ko sa kanya dahil pakiramdam ko ay kanina pa kami pinapakinggan ng dalawa sa likuran. Bahagya niyang pinisil ang aking ilong at kagat-labi akong nginitian.

"Kuya, I didn't know you have a sweet bone in your body." Hunter teased, a playful smirk emerged on his face. Natawa ang kanyang asawa nang mahina.

"Fuck off, Hunter."

Naglakad kami sa kaliwang bahagi kung saan madadaanan ang ilang naka-set na tables na pare-pareho ang disenyo. Sa unang table ay napansin ko ang ilang kalalakihan na hindi pamilyar sa akin. They are all wearing black tuxedos, probably around their thirties. Napatingin ang mga ito sa aming gawi nang matanaw ang pagdating namin.

"Hey, have you seen Jewel?" tanong ng isang lalaki na may maamong mukha kay Hunter.

"I was inside with her earlier. She was putting Jenni to sleep." si Jake ang sumagot na tinanguan ng lalaki at saka ito tumayo at saglit na nagpaalam sa mga kasama.

"That was Leonardo Montenegro, Jewel's husband. Jewel is a close family friend, nagkaroon din siya ng anak kay Hunter." para akong nalaglagan ng panga sa narinig mula kay Blade. So this girl named Jewel had an affair with Jake's husband? Tama ba ang pagkakaintindi ko?

"The twins, Lancer and Gunther. You're gonna meet them later on. The first one looked like a young version of Hunter, while the latter looks like his mother." dagdag ni Jake na mukhang narinig ang pinag-uusapan namin ni Blade.
