Inayos ko ang mga regalo sa paanan ng Christmas tree. Ilang oras nalang, Christmas eve na. Ethan was still showering upstairs. Ang iilang kasambahay na hindi umuwi sa kani-kanilang pamilya ang naghahanda ng mga pagkain. Kasama sila mini-celebration namin. Pati na rin ang dalawang security guards.Napadaan ako sa salamin at nakita ko ang ayos ko. My hair was in a high ponytail. Pulang bodycon dress ang suot ko. May makeup din ako pero hindi gaano ka-dark sa bandang mata. Ang tanging makulay lang ay aking mga labi na pulang-pula.
"Fatima, kapag dumating na si Edward, asikasuhin ninyo agad."
"Yes po, ma'am." Umalis na sa tabi ko si Fatima at naging abala na rin sa pag-aayos.
My body froze as I felt a warm body behind me. I could smell Ethan's manly scent. I faced him. His hair wasn't that wet anymore. He was wearing a red dress shirt and white pants. He looked absolutely good!
I encircled my arms around his neck as he snaked his arm around my waist. His other hand went up to my jaw, gently caressing it. I chuckled before preparing myself for a kiss. He kissed me softly.. I couldn't help but close my eyes when I felt his feathery kisses.
"You're wearing your momol proof lipstick," he pointed out. I smiled, confirming it. "Well, that's good. Now I'm thinking of buying you lots of momol-"
"Gusto mo bang mamaga ang lips ko?!" Natawa siya at pinatakan ng halik ang labi ko. "May tanong ako.. Kailan mo gustong magkaanak?"
"When I am already physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially stable. Parenting is not easy, Aia." Tumango ako bilang pagsang-ayon. "Why are you asking? Do you want a baby now?" Ngumisi siya sa akin.
"I was just asking!"
Natigil lang ang landian namin nang dumating si Edward. He looks better now. He looks happy and free. Sabay-sabay kaming nagtungo sa dining area at inimbitahan na rin ang helpers at security guards.
Everyone was happy. After an hour, we decided to open the gifts. Pumunta kaming lahat sa sala, ang iba ay may dala pa ring pagkain. The helpers and security guards were so happy when Ethan started giving out gifts to them. Edward rolled his eyes when Ethan handed him the gift.
Pabiro ring umirap si Ethan nang ibigay ni Edward ang regalo niya sa kapatid. I was shocked when Edward went to me.
"Merry Christmas, my future sister-in-law," he greeted as he handed me his gift.
"Thank you, Edward! May gift din ako sa 'yo!" Pumunta ako sa may Christmas tree at kinuha ang gift ko kay Edward. Nagpasalamat din siya nang ibigay ko 'yon.
I felt an arm around my waist. Ethan kissed my neck as he handed me his gift. Sa sobrang saya ay binuksan ko kaagad ang regalo niya. A branded makeup set! I hugged his neck because of that.
Nagulat ako nang mag-abot ulit siya ng regalo. He urged me to open it. Nang buksan ko ang paper bag, nakita ko ang isang box. Nilabas ko iyon sa paper bag at binuksan kaagad ang box. Another set but this time, it was a set of accessories. And that gift was followed by another gift. Naka-box din ito tulad ng mga nauna. Binuksan ko kaagad ang may kalakihang box at tumambad sa akin ang iba't ibang bagay.
May mamahaling relo, may kwintas na may eroplanong pendant na may palayaw ko, may chocolates, at may bagong cellphone na naka-box pa!
"Hala! Thank you!" Niyakap ko nang mahigpit si Ethan sa sobrang tuwa. "Nahihiya na tuloy ang regalo ko..."
"Where's your gift?" Humiwalay ako sa kaniya. Kinuha ko paper bag at inabot 'yon sa kaniya. Umupo siya sa couch at hinila ako paupo sa mga hita niya. Inilapag niya sa hita ko ang paper bag at binuksan kaagad iyon.
Mug iyon na kapag nilalagyan ng mainit na tubig ay lumalabas ang mga letra. Kahit na hindi niya alam 'yon, tuwang-tuwa pa rin siya. Paano pa kapag nabasa niya ang letter?
"Thank you so much, baby. I'll use this instead of my old mug." Hinalikan niya ang leeg ko.
"H-hindi lang 'yan... Uh, may s-surprise 'yan. Try mo lagyan ng mainit na tubig!"
"Okay. Let's go to the kitchen." Tumango ako at nauna na sa kaniya.
Ginawa niya ang sinabi ko pagkarating namin sa kusina. Tulala siya habang binabasa ang ang nakasulat sa mug. Unti-unti siyang lumingon sa akin at humihingi ng kumpirmasyon ang kaniyang mga mata. Tumango ako at pinilit ang sariling ngumiti.
"Kailan pa, Qamari?" Sumandal siya sa countertop at pinirmi ang kaniyang kamay sa tagiliran ko. "You're not joking, right?"
"Y-yes, totoo 'yun.. Kaya napagdesisyunan kong tumigil muna sa trabaho. Napapansin ko na kasi na napapadalas na ang pagduduwal ko. Tapos kinutuban ako! Nagpasama ako kay Clyde sa hospital. 7 weeks pregnant na raw ako. I know you don't w-want it-"
"Huh? Aia, I am part of the making! Of course, I want the baby. Can you feel my body? I'm fucking shaking! It's because I'm so happy. This is the best Christmas gift, baby!" I closed my eyes when he kissed me.
Naghiwalay lang ang mga labi namin dahil sa isang ubo. Napalingon kami sa umubo. Si Edward. Nag-iwas siya ng tingin at kumuha na ng inumin. Nabilaukan 'ata sa kinakain niyang lumpia! Natawa si Ethan at yumakap sa akin.
"Let's go to my room. I have another gift for you." Nag-init ang mukha ko sa ibinulong ni Ethan. Pabiro kong tinampal ang braso niya. Tumatawa siyang humalik sa akin. "I know you miss me. You've been using your toys for the past weeks. It's my turn."
"Hahayaan nalang natin sila rito sa baba?" Natawa siya at nilingon ang sala.
"Edward is here. He's close with them. Baby, let's go upstairs." He wiggled his brows. I playfully rolled my eyes. Bumaling siya kay Edward na kumakain ng lumpia. "Qamari and I will talk upstairs. Ikaw muna bahala sa kanila. I'll be back."
Tumango naman agad si Edward. Hinila na ako ni Ethan paalis do'n. Sabik na sabik! Napatili ako nang buhatin niya ako! Nangingiti akong sumandal sa katawan niya habang paakyat kami.
Nang makapasok kami sa kuwarto niya, nilapag niya ako sa kama. He took his dress shirt off and started unbuckling his belt. Ethan matured and became hotter. His abs and v-line were so much visible now.
Sumampa siya sa kama at kaagad akong kinubabawan. Pinadulas niya ang mga strap ng dress ko pababa. Saka niya hinila ang aking dress pababa upang hubarin iyon. We kissed. I don't know how he took my undergarments off my body! I just realized that when his fingers caressed my folds.
"No toys for now, Aia." I hit his arm when he teased me. He laughed and buried his face on my neck. He started kissing me there.
