Gangster Teacher II: The New Empire

Chapter 36

The warm rays of sunlight touched the bare shoulders of Autumn, currently peacefully sleeping in the comfortable arms of her husband. Jeremy brushed some of her hair away from her cheeks to tuck it behind her ear. He smiled at the sight.

"How long has it been? " he thought to himself. Thinking about the last time that he ever experienced such an easy going morning. Quiet, peaceful, and calm. This almost feels like a dream. Something that never happens to him. 

He looked down to check at his beautiful wife snuggling closer to him, this is something that he missed. His overflowing joy and excitement can be seen at how wide his smile is. Mukhang hindi na niya magawang isara ang bibig dahil sa ngiti. 

"Babe," he whispered.

"Hmm? What?" Autumn's little sleepy voice was heard. Parang sira ulong kinilig si Jeremy, hindi siya sanay na 'cute' ang babae. Ramdam niya ang pag-init ng pisngi. His soft giggles woke Autumn up.

"Bakit ka tumatawa?" she asked looking up at his face. "Are you okay? Did you hurt your head anywhere? Bakit ang laki ng ngiti mo? Nababaliw ka na ba?"

"Heh, ikaw talaga no? Ang lakas mo manira ng trip. Minsan na nga lang ako magising nang ganito kasaya. Kailan ba tayo huling nakatulog nang mahimbing? Hindi ko na maalala."

Parang bata na sinuway ni Jeremy si Autumn at bahagyang sumimangot. Hindi niya inasahan na sa sandaling umiwas siya ng tingin ay bigla siyang hinalikan sa pisngi ni Autumn. 

"Yah, manyak," he said while giggling. Si Autumn din ay biglang natawa dahil sa reaksyon ng lalaki.

"Kinikilig ka ba? Ngayon nalang kita ulit nakita na parang teenager kung kiligin ha," pang-aasar pa nito. Jeremy did his best to hide his huge smirk under the blanket. Napaupo si Autumn para hilahin ito nang buong lakas pero wala siyang nagawa.

"Woah, hoy! Kailan ka nag gym?" she asked in a surprised voice.

"Sira, anong gym naman?"

"Mas malakas ka na sa akin. Paano nangyari 'yon?"

"Okay ka lang? Wala ka nga kahit anong muscle. Sa tingin mo talaga mas malakas ka sa akin noon? Pasalamat ka pinagbibigyan kita noon kasi maganda ka." 

Napanganga si Autumn sa narinig na sagot ni Jeremy sa kanya. Kahit kailan talaga hindi nalang magsalita nang maayos ang asawa niya. Hindi talaga nito mapigilan na idamay siya okaya asarin.

She used her full force to pull the blanket off of him. Jeremy happily sat down while watching her every movement. She looked at him from his head, down to his bare abdomen. Bahagyang namula ang pisngi ni Autumn na hindi nakaligtas sa paningin ni Jeremy.

"Oh? Are you getting shy? Bakit ka namumula?" it was his time to tease her. But instead of rejecting his idea, she firmly nodded. Nahihiya pa siyang nagtakip ng mukha at nagpagulong-gulong sa kama. 

"Sa sobrang dami ng problema natin at sa lahat ng pinaggagawa natin, nakalimutan ko na ganyan pala itsura mo."

"What?!" Jeremy dramatically covered his wide open mouth. 

"Ang drama mo ha! Parang nahuli mo akong may kabit kung makapag-react ka d'yan."

"Kasi naman, parang sinabi mo na rin na hindi mo ako natatandaan habang masaka kang nagwawasiwas ng mga katana mo. Okaya habang may hinahunting ka na-" Jeremy's facial expression changed. 

Kung kanina ay halata na nakikipagbiruan siya, ngayon kulang nalang ay humawak siya ng baril. 'Yon nalang ang kulang, mukhang handa na siyang pumatay.
