Heart in Disguise (Heart Series #2)

T H I R T Y - F O U R

Nakapamaywang na tiningnan ko ang loob ng cabinet. Cabinet ito ng mga anak ko. I’ve been searching for clothes for them to wear but I just can’t find any that suits my princesses for today.

Naiinis na tuloy ako dahil wala akong mahanap na magandang ipasuot sa kanila.

I sighed in frustration. Napapakamot ako sa ulo ko habang chine-check ang mga damit sa loob ng cabinet.

Napaigtad ako nang may biglang yumakap sa akin mula sa likod.

It’s Philip.

His arms are on my stomach. I could see his veiny arms slightly caressing my stomach. Marahan niyang pinaraanan ng ilong niya ng pisngi ko.

After what happened that night, a lot changed between us. More like, a lot came back to what we’re used to.

I and Philip came back to became more than friends again. Naging malapit kaming muli sa isa’t isa. But we still never talked about what happened yet.

“Why do you look so frustrated?” He asked with his dark voice.

I sighed. Sumandal ako sa katawan niya. “Uhm… I don’t know what clothes to choose for my princesses. I think all of these are ugly.”

He chuckled deeply. “Anything will do, mare. Our princesses are beautiful. Everything will suit them.”

Napanguso ako. “Tsk. Bakit ba kasi kayong mga boys walang pakialam sa fashion ng babies? I am the mother kaya I know exactly what suits my babies.”

He chuckled. Pinaharap niya ako sa kanya. He hugged my waist.

“Why are you going to dress our babies, anyway? Nandito lang naman sila sa bahay,” aniya.

I rolled my eyes at him. “I want to take a picture of them and post it online. You know? Just want to show the beauty of my princesses.”

Gusto ko talaga kasi na picture-ran ang dalawa. Then I will post it online.

“Hmm-hmn. So, what are you planning to do? I know you have something in mind.”

I smiled. “You’re right! Let’s go out and shop!”

He smiled and nodded. “Alright. Sa mall tayo?”

I nodded. “Yep. Dadalhin natin ang dalawa para hindi tayo mahirapan sa pagpili ng damit para sa kanila. We can freely choose for something that will suit them.”

“Anything will suit them,” aniya.

“Yeah. I know.” Umirap ako. Kahit kailan talaga ay hindi niya ako matutulungan sa fashion ng mga anak niya.

Itinulak ko siya nang bahagya when he started kissing my neck.

“Naligo ka na ba?” I asked even though it’s obvious dahil may mga tubig pa’ng tumutulo mula sa buhok niya.

He hummed. “Yep. Done. What about you?”

I nodded. “Tapos na rin.”

“Our princesses?”

“Done. Pagkatapos kong maligo, pinaliguan ko na rin sila. Kanina ko pa kasi talaga pinlano na umalis,” sabi ko.

He tried reaching for my lips, giving me a peck of kiss. Itinulak ko naman ulit siya ng mahina.

“Are we going to bring their nannies?” He asked.

I shook my head. “Nope. We will give them a small break by not bringing them. I know they’re both tired kaya pagpahingahin natin sila today. Tayo lang ang pupunta sa mall.”
