CHAPTER 40
Hinihingal na humiga si Valerio sa tabi ko at inangat ang kumot sa amin. He kissed my cheek and snuggled beside me.
"Good morning, baby..." he whispered.
"Good morning," I chuckled, "Sorry..."
"Why are you apologizing?" Natawa rin siya nang mahina.
Ngumuso ako, "Ginising kita... para lang sa..."
"Sex?" Humalakhak siya at niyakap ako nang mahigpit. "You can wake me up any time, kahit hindi lang sa sex."
He reached for my hand and kissed the back of my palm. Pinagsalikop niya ang mga daliri namin at ipinagitna sa amin. He laid on my hand and caressed my cheek with his.
"I want this, though. Yung gigisingin mo ako ng madaling araw, mag-aaya ka ng sex. I've dreamed of it for our future. My horny wife, waking her asleep but horny husband in the middle of the night for a few hours of love making. Tapos parehas tayong hindi na makabalik sa pagtulog dahil sa sarap na nangyari, so we decide to cook breakfast for the kids instead. And probably... I'll take you in the kitchen and—"
"Valerio! Pagkain ng mga bata ang lulutuin natin tapos may ganoon?" Sinimangutan ko siya.
"Why? Dahil din naman sa ganoon kaya sila nabuo," ngumisi siya. "Okay, fine. After, then? While waiting for them to wake up?"
Dahan-dahan akong tumango at sumilay at maliit na ngisi sa akin.
"Then after we send them to school, tayo naman ang papasok sa trabaho. Then I'll drop you off in the office... wait, which company will you manage, by the way? Marchetti Empire or you'll work in ours?"
"Marchetti... but I can work in ours, too." With my free hand, I caressed his cheek and it slid down to his chin. "That's why it tickles me more! You got a little stubble."
"You want this stubble or I shave it?" Kinapa rin niya ang baba niya.
"Hmm... ganyan muna. Whether you have facial hair or don't, you're still so gorgeous."
One side of his lips rose. "Crush mo na naman ako."
I rolled my eyes, "Mahal na mahal kita, hindi lang crush."
"Mas mahal na mahal kita, misis ko." Nilapit niya ang mukha sa akin at hinalikan ang tungki ng ilong ko. "Let's go?"
Kumunot ang aking noo, "To where?"
"Let's watch the sunrise."
Tumango ako at bumangon na. Hindi na rin naman ako makatulog. Mukhang ganoon din siya.
With my white short dress and sandals, and Valerio wearing his white shirt and black shorts, he drove somewhere and we stopped near the cliff. Mabilisan siyang lumabas sa sasakyan at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto.
He held my hand and shut the door before locking his car. Naglakad kami papunta sa dulo at magkahawak-kamay na pinanood ang pagtaas ng araw. It's windy and a bit cold but I didn't mind it.
Siya lang, mukhang napansin niya ang bahagya kong panlalamig kaya pumuwesto siya sa likod ko at kinulong ako sa mga bisig niya.
The area was so silent I could hear his breathing near my ear. Ang tanging nandito lang ay kaming dalawa, ang sasakyan niya, ang mga puno sa gilid, ang malawak na dagat sa ibaba, at ang unti-unting pagsilay ng araw.
"I love you, Olesia Andrea Bustamante."
I giggled, "Bukas pa ako magiging Bustamante." Hinaplos ko ang braso niyang nakapulupot sa dibdib ko, "I love you."
