Ravaged (CHURCH SIBLINGS 3)

CHAPTER 49

ABRAHAM SAIDE

I woke up in the middle of the night with the feeling that someone is on my top. I got rattled with the thought na mag-isa lang naman ako sa kwarto bakit may nakapatong sa akin?

I flew to Las Vegas last week para sa laban ko sa susunod na linggo. I will be damned with Cayenne if she ever discover na may gumigiling sa ibabaw ko kahit na hindi ko naman hiniling at ginusto. Tinulak ko ang kung sinong tao sa taas ko, sa sobrang lakas ay nahulog siya sa higaan.

"Aw! Abraham!"

Mabilis kong binuksan ang bed lamp sabay tayo nang boses ni Cayenne ang marinig ko.

"What the fuck, baby!"

Ngumuso siya habang masama ang tingin sa akin. I pick her up from the floor and lay her on her stomach. Inangat ko ang damit niya at tinignan ang pang-upo niya.

"Masakit!" sigaw niya nang hawakan ko ang namula niyang pang-upo.

"Baby naman kasi. Who would be in the right mind to do that to a sleeping person?"

"I always do that to you! Nagugustohan mo naman ah!"

"That was back in Manila—

"So dito bawal? Why, you meet with Jia and wants to get back with her?"

Napabuntong hinga ako. Here she goes again with accusing me. "Back in manila alam ko na magkasama tayo. Dito I didn't know na nandito ka na. You told me bukas ka pa pupunta."

"I was going to surprise you," malumanay na sabi na niya.

Napailing nalang ako. I search for an ointment on my night stand. Kahit hindi niya sabihin I know she did the surprise arrival kasi nagdududa na naman siya that I might have a woman here. Kahit ano talagang gawin ko she'll forever question my itch.

"You know I love you, right?" Hinila ko siya sa braso para makaupo. I checked her arms na napansin kong may pasa rin.

"I know."

I sigh again after our gaze met. What will I gonna do to assure her?

"Are you with Stefano?"

"No, nasa Arizona siya. We fly here together pero nakasalubong namin sa airport si Kuya Clde, he ask Stefano if he wants to visit Cairo in Arizona."

I miss my son and I feel a little guilty of feeling happy she's not with us right now. Hinaplos ko ang hita ni Cayenne— napakagat siya sa labi niya. She knows what I want and she's burning for it too.

"Let's go for a shower, Sweet Pepper."

I carry her to the shower. May dalawang oras pa ako bago pumunta sa training. That would be enough para makatulog siya ng buong araw at hindi mangulit.

The next two weeks is fun and messy for the two of us— Cayenne's always at my back, supporting and motivating me. I needed to train twice as hard since it's my comeback fight and I make love with her twice more.

"There might be blood. Malakas kalaban. Are you sure you want to watch?"

Nasa locker room kami at humingi ako ng ilang minuto kay coach na makausap si Cayenne. This will be her first time watching me, kahit noon kapag nanunuod kami ni Stefano ng laban ko ayaw niyang manuod.
