Chapter 50

Humikab ako at humilig sa braso ni Lairgren. "Excited na 'kong kumain ng bibingka."

His shoulders shook when he chuckled without emitting sounds. He pulled my hand in his lap and held it tighter to keep me warm.

"That's what you said since the first mass, baby Ri."

Tumingin ako sa altar bago sa paligid. Unti-unti nang napupuno ang mga upuan sa simbahan. Pangatlong araw na namin ng Misa De Gallo. Kanina pa kaming three-thirty nandito at alas kuwatro pa ang umpisa ng unang misa. May favorite spot kasi ako rito sa simbahan kaya pinipilit ko talaga siyang maaga kami lagi umalis para doon kami makaupo.

I unlocked my small sling bag that only carried some candies.

"Gusto mong candy?" Ngumiti ako sa kaniya.

When he opened his palm for me, I placed one over it before I had my own.

The mass lasted for nearly an hour. Sinamahan ako ni Lairgren magpa-bless sa pari dahil kapag ako lang ang pumunta sa harap, siguradong magigitgit lang ako. After we received our bless from the priest, my lips stretched wider and Lairgren immediately pulled me out from the crowd.

"Bili na tayong bibingka! Five! Tapos maraming cheese!" I told him gaily as we exited the church.

Iwinagayway ko pa ang isang kamay sa harap niya para ipakita kung ilan ang lima. Hawak niya ang isa kong kamay nang mahigpit, takot mabitiwan dahil takot ding biglang mawala.

"Baby Ri, that's too much..." he softly said while shaking his head. "Tatlo lang ulit. Isa sa ating dalawa, dalawa sa pamilya mo. They could only even finish one..."

"Hindi. Dalawa sa akin, tatlo kina Mama at kina Ate Nadia. If you want, add another one for you. Oh, bale six na pala bilhin natin!" sabi ko pa habang nagbibilang sa daliri.

He groaned his objection, then he looked down at me. Tinupi ko ang nakabuklat na mga daliri at dahan-dahang bumaba sa kaniyang braso. I tried to hide my face on his arm with the lips of a fish.

"Sige, lima," he finally gave up. "Huwag mo nang dadagdagan 'yan bukas, Skyricharm, o hindi na kita bibilhan sa susunod."

I grinned and bobbed my head so fast my face probably got blurred in his vision.

Christmas is my all-time favorite holiday every year. The blessings I receive annually are abundant, and giving gifts is my heartful desire during this season to share our blessings. Hindi lang sa akin, kundi pati sa buong pamilya ko.

Habol ko na ang paghinga nang humiwalay ang labi ni Lairgren sa akin. Kanina ay ang bibingka lang ang nilalantakan ko pero ngayon, labi na niya. Masarap ang bibingka, pero mas masarap talaga ang halik niya. Libre pa.

I was melting in his lap, with both my legs over his left leg, while he was sitting on my beanbag inside my lab. His hand was fisting my hair gently to lift my face, and the other was gently stroking the back of my knee. My arms were anchored like jelly around his neck.

"Gusto mo pa?" he teased while torturing my jaw with his lips. "O... matulog na lang muna ulit tayo?"

My eyes fluttered open but not fully, as though still tipsy with his kisses despite the sweetness in every touch and flick.

"More kisses, please, El..." Ngumiti ako habang nakatingin sa labi niyang namamasa at kakulay na ng dugo.

He only gave me another second to breathe before his lips touched down to mine again, plunging his tongue inside my mouth, and turning my vision into a vast darkness of pleasure. Kumalat ang kiliti sa aking tainga, batok, likod, at binti habang humaplos ang kaniyang kamay sa aking hita.
