Chasing Sanity (Chase Series #1)

Chapter 59

"Can I have my wife all to myself already?" Charlie softly asked as he grabbed the opportunity to embrace Kelly from behind after she hang up the call. He tightly wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his head on top of her shoulder. "Kanina—no, kahapon ka pa busy. Tapos ngayon ang tagal mo pang kausap si V sa phone. Kaunti na lang pagseselosan ko na siya, love."

"Charlie..." Her voice felt like a gentle breeze when it lingered on his ears. "...Kaya lang naman kami nag-uusap ni V kasi sinisigurado namin na walang magiging aberya sa kasal bukas. At saka kaibigan natin 'yon, oy. Bakit mo naman pagseselosan?" she continued and asked as she gently tapped his hand, signalling him to let her go.

Hindi siya binitawan ni Charlie, bagkus ay lalo niyang hinigpitan ang pagkakayakap sa asawa. "Because... I'm your clingy and possessive husband tonight," he said huskily, then he sniffed the side of her neck before proceeding to kiss that part of her.

"Charlie... nakikiliti ako..."

Hearing those words from her with a hint of slight giggles made his lips curve into a mischevious grin. Lalo tuloy siyang ginanahan na ulitin ang paghalik sa leeg niya at magpatuloy sa plano niya.

"Charlie..." She giggled again. Ramdam na ramdam niya ang tila kuryenteng gumigising sa pagkababae niya sa bawat pagdami ng malalambot na labi ni Charlie sa balat niya.

"Hmm?" he mumbled as he kept planting tender yet daring kisses on the side of her neck.

Hindi na kinaya pa ni Kelly ang sensasyong nararamdaman niya sa mga halik pa lang na iyon kung kaya't siya na mismo ang kumilos para kumawala sa mga bisig ni Charlie. Agad nga niyang hinarap ang asawa upang kausapin ito. Ngunit pagharap niya ay agad siya nitong siniil ng isang mapusok na halik.

But she instantly cut the kiss. "Charlie, alam ko na kung saan papunta 'to," she said, placing both of her palms on his chest.

"You should be, because I intend to go that far tonight, Mrs. Montefiore."

Laughter instantly escaped from her lips. "Charlie, hindi tayo nagpunta dito para mag-honeymoon. Nandito tayo para sa kasal ng best friends natin," she reminded him with a smile.

He put his hands on his hips. "Pwede namang dual purpose."

"Charlie, maaga ang kasal bukas kaya hindi tayo pwedeng mapagod at magpuyat ngayong gabi."

He scratched his head. He's craving for his wife. He wanted her all tonight. Pero mukhang wala siyang magagawa. Sayang ang cozy pa naman ng room nila at ang ganda ng lugar kung nasaan sila ngayon. Tanaw na tanaw mula sa balcony ng room nila ang dagat at dalampasigan. Ang sarap pa naman sanang mag-make love sa ganitong lugar... but he needed to let it go.

"Kaya halika na, matulog na tayo," aya pa ni Kelly.

She was about to walk towards the bed but he suddenly held her hand and that made her face him again. "Love..." he called, almost whispering with his eyes tightly glued on her.

"Ano?"

"Huwag kang papayag na mag-make love tayo dito sa lugar na 'to, ah?"

"Bakit naman?"

"Because I'll really get you pregnant."

Her laughter filled the whole room again. Malakas ngunit walang bahid ng insulto ang naging pagtawa niya. "As if naman na mabubuntis ako," sambit niya sabay hinampas niya mismo kay Charlie ang kamay niya na hinawakan nito kanina.

"Malay mo naman, love."
