Never Mine

Chapter 33

I woke up next to Czar that early morning of our third day on the yacht. He was on his side, and I was hugging him from the back. Dahil hindi siya nakaharap sa akin, kinailangan ko munang bumangon para matitigan ang mukha niya. Mula nang magkaayos kami ay palagi na akong nagigising na katabi siya pero natutuwa pa rin talaga ako kapag nabubungaran ko ang gwapong mukha niya sa umaga.

He was sleeping soundly. It looked like he spent all his energy from all of our activities yesterday. We went scuba diving, rode on a kayak, and had a full-on competitive swimming contest at the open sea. Nang maggabi ay naglunoy pa kami sa swimming pool while having dinner and a few dinks kaya pagbalik namin sa cabin ay diretso na kami sa pagtulog. Ibang-iba sa naging unang gabi namin dito.

None of our guests stayed for the night then. Kahit sina Mill at Yaya Lyn na pinilit naming sa umaga na umuwi ay hindi nagpakumbinsi. Lou and Zach, who came late, were still among the ones who left first. Kaya ngayon ay wala kaming ibang kasama rito kundi ang mga crew na hindi naman namin nakikitang madalas.

It felt like we were having our honeymoon again. Gustong-gusto ko ang bawat sandali namin dito. Hindi pa namin napag-usapan kung hanggang kailan eksakto kami rito kaya mamaya pagkagising ni Czar ay itatanong ko iyon sa kaniya.

I glanced at him again. Mabilis akong dumukwang para halikan siya sa pisngi saka bumaba ng kama. I didn't want to wake him up, so I was walking very slowly to the bathroom. I planned on taking a shower first before going out and maybe exercise a bit under the sun on the upper deck.

The bathtub was a little tempting, but I chose to go under the shower instead. I was testing the water temperature when the bathroom door opened. My eyebrows raised when Czar went in, looking fresh and hot at the same time despite the fact that he just woke up. He locked the door behind him before walking slowly towards me.

Mas tumaas ang mga kilay ko nang hindi siya tumigil kahit na magkalapit na kaming dalawa. I frowned at him while stifling my smile when he edged closer even more to the point that he already backed me up against the wall.

"You're going to shower now too?" tanong ko at sinundan ng tingin ang pagkuha niya ng shower head sa kamay ko. "Don't you feel a little sleepy for it? Mukhang antok ka pa talaga."

"I am," maikling sagot niya bago yumuko at naghikab.

I chuckled and caressed his hair. "You go and sleep more, then. I just wanted to take a bath early. Mag-e-exercise ako sa itaas after nito, eh."

"I want to shower with you. Maybe... we can exercise together too. Or do it both at the same time," aniya at humalik sa balikat ko.

"What? Akala ko ba inaantok ka pa?"

Nag-angat siya ng tingin at umiling. "Just a little bit. Maybe you can... do something to wake me up."

I frowned at him. "You stop it! Ang aga-aga, Czar. I haven't even had my breakfast yet."

Ngumisi siya at nanunuksong kinuha ang kamay ko saka inilapat iyon sa matigas na tiyan niya. Natatawang binawi ko iyon pero nakikipaghilahan lang siya sa akin.

"What? I thought you didn't have your breakfast yet? It's right here, Amanda."

"I don't want it! Go away!" I laughed and pushed him by his shoulders when he cornered me even more on the wall.

"Okay, you don't want breakfast. Let's just shower then," aniya saka binuksan ang shower.

Ilang sandali lang at basang-basa na kaagad siya. Natatabunan ako ng malaking katawan niya kaya ligtas na sana ako but the brute really had to switch our place. Tinapat niya rin ako sa ilalim ng shower hanggang pareho na kaming basa. I was really left with no choice but to shower with him. Naglaro lang kami roon na parang mga bata dahil pinaninindigan niya talaga iyong pangako niya at hanggang panunukso lang siya.
