TRADING INNOCENCE ✔️

Chapter Nineteen

It's been two months since I met Riley. Dalawang linggo din mula ngayon ay ang unang monthsary namin. I don't actually know that but she reminded me about that thing. Nag-research din ako tungkol dito at talagang sine-celebrate pala to ng mga couple. I should give Riley a gift for being with me in a month.

Ang kaso ay wala kong maisip na gusto niya. I don't know what Riley actually likes. Ah, damn you Mico. Sa lahat ba naman kasi ng bagay na hindi mo aalamin eh yung tungkol kay Riley pa.

I shook my head and immediately went home after work. Paguwi ko ay naghahanda na si Riley para sa dinner namin. I smiled when I saw her and I walked towards my beautiful girl and kissed her lips.

"How's my girl?" I asked her.

"I'm good. Boring lang dahil wala kong pasok ngayon." Ngumuso ito, "But now that my doctor is here I feel great."

"That's good. What's for dinner, hunny?"

"Your favorite shrimp." Anito sa tunog na naiinis kaya tinignan ko siya.

"What's wrong?"

"Wala. Naalala ko lang kasi yung hipon sa resort. Nainis lang ako bigla. But then I realized that I own you now, I don't have any problem with her anymore."

"Okay?" Nagtatakang tanong ko.

"Kain na, doctor." Sagot nito at pinaghain ako. Nilagyan niya ng kanin at ulam ang plato ko kaya nginitian ko siya.

"Thanks."

"So, how's your day?"

"Toxic. Pero masaya naman." Sagot ko at ngumiti. Nagpatuloy kami sa pagke-kwentuhan hanggang sa matapos kami kumain. Nag-presinta naman akong mag-hugas ng plato kaya sinabi kong antayin niya na lang ako sa kwarto.

After I'm done with dishes, I took a shower and after that I lay beside Riley and we cuddled. The room was silent when she broke it.

"Do you mind if I ask you some questions?" She muttered.

"Sure. What is it?"

"Hmm, what's your favorite thing to do?"

"My favorite thing to do?" Napa-isip ako, "I loved reading books when I was younger but now my favorite thing to do is to stare at you."

"Mico naman eh." Pigil na ngiting sagot niya kaya mahina akong natawa, "Ganito na lang. Why don't we play cards and the loser will tell something about himself or herself. Deal?"

"Deal." I nodded. Sakto na din to para naman malaman ko ang tungkol sa babaeng tinitibok ng puso ko.

We played lucky nine para mas madali matalo o manalo. Ang unang card ko ay jack at queen kaya zero ang score ko. Humirit pa ko ng isang card at ace ang nakuha ko. I sighed because I lost.

"One." I said and dropped the cards.

She laughed and showed me her cards, "Zero." Anito at ngumuso. Ako naman ngayon ang natawa.

] "Alright. Tell me something about yourself, hunny."

"Hmm, I love taking selfies. I wanted to be a model that's why." She smiled sweetly. Tumango naman ako at muli kaming nagbigay ng card. Sa next round ay ako naman ang talo.

"You're my first at everything Riley. I never kissed any woman before and I never tried dating anyone. You're the first woman in my life and I'm proud of that." I said and smiled at her. She suddenly hugged me making me lose my balance and we both lay in the bed.
