CODE'S ADDICTION

Chapter 17

Trissalia Pearl

It's been a week since I was discharged from hospital and a week that my husband isolated me in my pad. Hindi niya ako hinahayaang pumasok sa trabaho ko o kaya lumabas ng hindi siya kasama.

Mas naging mahigpit siya sa akin na para ngang isang mamahaling bagay na hindi maaaring iwan kung saan-saan at basta-basta. But I'm agitated getting away from him! Sa araw-araw na magkasama kami ay pakiramdam ko sasabog ako.

Good lord, everytime he's near, I could almost hear my heart beat trying to lash out of my ribcage. I suffocate just smelling him and his manly features turns me on. He's taking care of me like I am his number one priority and I just can't take it anymore. Ang simpleng pagtingin nga lang sa mala-dagat niyang mata ay para na akong nilulunod, paano pa kaya ang mga gabi na halos panggigilan niya ako at ako naman ay hindi siya matanggihan.

Gracious goodness, this is not healthy anymore. Lunod na lunod na ako sa kanya.

“When are you planning to lift my probation?” I shoved the comforter out of my body and open the windows. Agad na pumasok ang hangin sa loob kaya medyo na-refresh ako.

“You're not on probation, doll. Hindi ka pa magaling kaya hindi ka pa pwedeng lumabas,” his raspy voice finalized.

Humarap ako sa kanya at nameywang. “Anong tingin mo sa akin? Imbalido? Code, magaling na ako last week pa at alam mong hindi ako pwedeng um-absent sa trabaho. May kontrata ako sa firm!”

“At anong tingin mo sa akin, tanga? I took care of it already. Your worries has been taken care of. Why do you always underestimate me?” he sneered at me. Ang boses niya ay may halong sakit kaya bahagya akong nakaramdam ng guilt.

“Hindi kita ina-underestimate, Code. I know what you are capable of, okay. Being you alone can overestimate all.” I probe as I encircle my arms on his waist. Nagsumiksik ako at inamoy ang kili-kili niya.

“Hey, did you just smell me?” natatawang tanong niya. I giggled as I look up to him. Maliwanag na ulit ang ekspresyon niya kaya mas lumawak ang ngiti ko.

“You smell so great especially in morning, husband. How can you maintain it?” I josh around and put kisses on his neck. His adam's apple bobbed up and down as his intense expression warned me.

“Doll, it's early in the morning and yet you're killing me...”

“Uh-huh.”

Tumaas ang sulok ng labi ko at hinayaang paglakbayin ang kamay ko sa kanyang matigas na tiyan.

“Trissalia Pearl, pinagod na nga kita kagabi pero bakit may mas energy ka pa rin? I swear, if you don't stop what you're doing...” I started laughing out loud with his frustrated words. Bahagya akong lumayo at sinalubong ang seryoso niyang tingin.

“What? I just love teasing you.”

“'Yung action lang? Paano naman 'yung tine-tease mo, hmm?”

It was like cat got my tongue when his question cornered me. Pero sino ba naman ako para magpatalo.

“Bakit, yung nangte-tease ba sa 'yo like mo?” I shot back.

His eyes went upward na parang nag-iisip. “Hmm, hindi, eh. Hindi ko like.”

Napasimangot ako sa isinagot niya kaya walang modo ko siyang pinalo sa dibdib na ikinahalakhak niya. Akmang tatayo na ako nang hilain niya ako pabalik at ikinulong sa kanyang bisig.
