DAPHNE woke up to the sound of the wind coming from the open door of her balcony in her unit. Nang tingnan niya ang kanyang tabi ay wala roon si Nomer. Nakita niya ito sa balkonahe na may kausap sa cellphone, nakatalikod sa gawi niya, ang isang kamay ay nasa bewang.
Tila galit ito base sa mga ugat nito sa leeg na nagiging visible dahil sa pag-igting ng mga panga.
She wrapped the blanket on her naked body and went to where Nomer was. She stood near the door and watched his frustrated face form a grimace. How can he manage to be still handsome when he's mad and frustrated?
He was half naked with only his boxers on. Kahit madilim sa bahaging iyon ng balkonahe at tanging ang nag-aagawang liwanag at dilim lamang ang bumabalot sa paligid ay tanaw niya pa rin ang kabuuan nito. Ang matipuno nitong katawan mula sa braso hanggang dibdib ay nagpapaalala sa kanya ng mainit nilang pinagsaluhan kanina lamang.
Nag-init ang pisngi niya nang mapadako sa pang-upo nito ang mga mata at nabuhay ang init sa kanyang katawan nang umikot ito paharap sa kanya, giving her perfect view of that thing between his thigh. Nakaumbok iyon kahit hindi naman galit.
"We might end up in bed again if you keep staring at it. You know how much he likes to be inside you."
Nag-iwas siya nang tingin nang mahuli siya nito na nakatingin sa alaga nito.
"I was just looking at it," depensa niya, mas humigpit ang pagkakahawak sa kumot na nakabalot sa kahubdan.
Her heart started to race when he walked towards her direction. Ngayon niya lang napansin nang mas malinaw ang tattoo nito sa dibdib. She didn't notice that when they made love in his villa. The muscle on his stomach made her gulp, seing those tearing muscle brought her to the times where he took her roughly yet giving her so much pleasure.
"I know." He put his hands around her waist, pulling her closer to his half naked body. "But you're waking him with your stare."
Naramdaman niya sa kanyang tiyan ang pagpintig nang pagkalalaki nito. She also had a clearer view of his tattoo on his chest. It was exactly on the spot where his heart is.
She gently touch it while examining its details. It is a three wave of an ocean inked in blue. Napakunot siya dahil walang ibang detalye ang tattoo maliban doon. No numbers, no letters or even symbols.
"What's the meaning of your tattoo?" She traced sensually the three waves of the ocean on his chest.
Sa simpleng ginawa na iyon ay malaki na ang naging epekto sa paghinga ng kasintahan at maging sa sarili. Kapag nagkakadikit ang kanilang mga katawan ay hindi niya talaga maiwasan na mag-init kaagad.
"My blue."
"Huh?" She looked up at him dahil akala niya ay tinatawag siya nito.
"It reminds me of you, my blue. You're like my ocean. Mesmerizing, deep, captivating..." Inalis nito ang buhok niyang tumatabing sa kanyang mukha dahil sa hangin na tumatama sa bahaging iyon ng balkonahe.
That simple gesture of him made her heart flutter and her cheeks burn.
"You're a mystery for me but you are also my hope and truth." Pinagdikit nito ang kanilang mga noo saka mahigpit siyang niyakap.
"Why is it three waves?" Muli niyang tanong.
"That's the times that I will love you." Tinuro nito ang isang alon, "Today." He pointed the next wave, "Tomorrow." Then the last wave, "And forever."
Nag-init ang pisngi niya dahil sa mga sinabi nito. Ramdam niya ang pagmamahal nito kahit sa simpleng tattoo lang nito.
"When did you get it?" Magkayakap sila habang sumasayaw sa saliw ng ihip ng hangin sa kanilang paligid.
