Chapter XLI: Gift Giving

Kahel

It was the morning after.

I was lying supine. My butt hurts pero hindi ko maipaliwanag ang pakiramdam ko. I feel so happy habang nakatitig sa nakadapang si Drake.

Nakaharap siya sa akin habang nakadapa. His beautiful eyelashes perfectly match his curly hair na sumasayaw sa hangin mula sa nakabukas na bintana. I can see him smiling even as he sleeps. I hope I made him happy last night because I know he made me happy.

Gaya ng dati, he was using his muscular arms as his pillow. The breaking dawn is beaming soft sunshine at his beautiful physique. I can clearly see the contrast of the yellow rays of the sun highlighting his triceps, trapezius, and even his extensor obliques.

"You look like you came out of my anatomy book," I said while laughing quietly.

I extended my hand. I followed the trail of the sun on his tanned skin. I brushed the back of my fingers like a feather from his pelvis up to his torso, going to his wonderful arms and finally reaching his face.

Gaya ng mga bituwing unti-unting lumalabas sa langit sa takip-silim, marahan niyang imunulat ang mga mata niya.

"Bonjour, mahal ko," he said in his deep, happy voice.

"Good morning, Drake," tipid kong sagot.

But he does not look disappointed with my cheap response. Instead, he reached for my hand on his face and started kissing it.

I was just looking at him, smiling as he made sure that he kissed every knuckle. When he was done with it, he locked my fingers with his hand at ipinatong dito ang malambot niyang pisngi.

He leaned closer, making sure that I wouldn't let him go habang inuunanan ang isa kong kamay at tinititigan ang mukha ko.

"So, what are our plans today?" tanong niya. Pinalaki niya ang mga mata niya, kinunot ang kaniyang noo, sabay pout.

I hate it when he makes this silly face. Ibang-iba sa maangas na Drake sa school. He looks silly but so darn cute.

"I dunno," tugon ko. "Ikaw, anong gusto mong gawin today?"

"Wanna get married?"

Bigla akong naubo. Tila ang mga natuyong laway at kung anumang isinubo ko kagabi ay nagsimulang iritahin ang lalamunan ko.

"Alam na alam mo talaga saan ang inis ko ano, ungas?"

"Oo naman, mahal. Pero alam ko rin saan ang kiliti mo?"

Napalunok ako. Nakita ko kung paano niya isinubo ang daliri niya sabay pinasayaw niya ang kilay niya.

Akmang lalapit siya lalo sa akin nang taasan ko siya ng hinlalato. Mabilis kong itinakip sa puwet ko ang isa kong kamay.

"Taena mo Drake, nakailan ka na kagabi ha?"

He then pulled me from my waist. Magkadikit na ngayon ang mga ilong namin habang yakap niya ang hubad kong katawan.

"Well, if you don't wanna get married today, we can have sex the whole day instead."

Bigla kong pinitik ang ilong niya.

Napatakip siya ng ilong habang natatawa sa reaksyon ko.

"Baliw!" tukso ko.

Natatawa akong tumayo sa gilid ng kama kahit medyo nanginginig pa sa ngawit ang mga hita ko.

"Where are you going?" sigaw ni Drake.

"To make us breakfast."

"Kaya mo ba?" natatawa niyang tugon.
