He and She

Chapter 10

We did it. We really did it. We slept around 2 or 3 am last night after 6 times. Yes, 6 times. At masakit ang buong katawan ko ngayon. I feel really sore down there and really tired. Gusto ko pa sana matulog kaso sa sobrang saya ko, ay mukhang imposible na yon.

I glanced at him and found myself blushing. Grabe, ang guwapo niya talaga.

"Tapos ka na bang mamangha sa kaguwapuhan ko?" Nakapikit pa rin siya. His voice was husky and sexy.

I scoffed. "Gising ka na pala. Yabang."

He chuckled and wrapped an arm around me. "Goodmorning. How do you feel?"

I blushed. "Sore. But incredibly happy."

He kissed my cheek. "I feel happier."

Tatayo na sana ako ng kama to fix us some pancakes pero pinigilan niya ako.
"No. You rest some more. I'll do everything."

I smiled and nodded.

"Pero bago yun," he paused. Itinaas niya ang kumot na bumabalot sa huband kong katawan. Pinagmasdan niya ito ng sampung segundo. "Stored in my memory." He grinned.

I chuckled. "Manyak."

"Sayo lang." He said and rose up. He put on his boxers and strode out of the room.

Nagtry pa ako matulog, for at least 15mins kaso hindi talaga ako makatulog ulit. So I decided to rise up. Grabe, sobrang sore ako. Parang feeling ko nag weights ako. I put on my comfy oversized sweater and underwear. Mahaba naman ito kaya hindi na gaano kita.

Naabutan ko si Caleb sa kitchen na nagluluto while whistling some tune. He looked damn good in my kitchen. Napalingon siya sa gawi ko nang hilain ko ang upuan sa may counter para maupo.

"Smells good." Sabi ko.

He grinned. "Fucking vanilla pancake. My specialty."

Natawa ako. Vanilla pancake? Meaning unexciting? With his abs on the show, hindi na kakailanganin ng maple syrup.

Tinikman ko ang pancake. I took two and put it on my plate. Maigi siyang nakatingin sakin, hinihintay na tikman ko ito. And I did and it is delicious. Guwapo na, cook pa. I smiled at him and gave him the thumbs up. He grinned and ate the piece of pancake on the my fork.

"So.." I started. "Don't have work today?"

He shook his head. "Ikaw ang itatrabaho ko ngayon."

I chuckled. Manyak talaga ang isang to. Well, pabor naman ako sa iniisip niya.

After countless times of making love, we decided to go out for a while and watch a movie. Pitch perfect 2. Naisip kong ito yung panoorin para lang asarin siya. Akalain mo yun, isang Caleb na machong macho ay manonood ng movie na puro babae lang?

Pero hindi kinaya ng puso ko ang dahilan kung bakit ko siya napapayag na yun ang panoorin.

"I won't be able to concentrate on watching anyway, ikaw lang naman papanoorin ko."

Juicecolored. Seriously. My heart skipped a beat.

I was amazed by the end of the movie. Kept humming the last song from the barden bella's contest piece. Flashlight ata ang title nun. My perfect song for Caleb. He gave light to my dark world. Naglalakad kami ngayon sa mall, holding each other's hands. Like what normal couples do.

Nang mag-alas sais na ng gabi ay napagpasyahan na naming umuwi. He drove me to my house and I convinced him to go home. Siyempre hindi naman maganda na nandun ulit siya sa bahay since alam kong nandun na din si Cha. Plus, I owe her some serious girl talk.

Pero laking gulat ko nang ang makita ko sa loob ng bahay ko ay si Dad at hindi si Charity. Surprisingly, I did not feel any anger or pain around him.

"Dad." Bati ko sakanya. Dumirecho ako sa couch at naupo.

He looked surprised. "No curses?"

"Why dad? Do you want one?"

He chuckled. "You definitely inherited your mom's temper." He sighed and sat on the single couch beside me. "Hindi ka na ba galit sakin?"

"Galit pa din." I said. "Pero I realized it's already two years. Pain is still there. Namatayan ako ng anak, Dad."

He looked guilty and hurt. "Yes, and If I had known, I wouldn't have one of the guards chase after you."

"Namatay din si Martin."

He looked even guiltier. "And I've never been more sorry in my life. I did not intend for that to happen. I did not want that to happen."

I sighed. "I know." I know that. And somehow, I feel guilty. Alam kong hindi niya ginusto ang mga nangyari. He just wanted what was good for me at the time and for him, Martin is not good enough.

"Araw-araw kong pinagsisihan iyon, anak. Walang araw o gabi na hindi sumagi iyon sa isipan ko."

His head was bowed down. Naaawa ako kay dad. Alam kong nagsisisi siya and these past few years have been enough torture for him. I reached for his hand and gently squeezed it.

"I forgive you, dad."

Tears ran down from his cheeks, but he's smiling. Tears of joy I pressume. Hindi ko na din napigilan ang pagiyak. I missed dad. I missed our bonding. I missed everything about him.

Late na ng makauwi si dad sa bahay namin sa forbes. Talagang sinulit niya ang oras. He tried to convince me to stay with him there pero I insisted on staying her with Cha. Iba ang may freedom.

When I reached my bedroom, ang daming missed calls and text from Caleb. A total of 50 missed calls and 20 texts. 10 of those texts were asking me where am I and what happened. Followed by:

"Shit, baby, what's wrong? Why aren't you answering your damn phone?!"

"Are you okay? Come on, just one reply."

"I am really getting pissed off, Samantha."

"Come on, baby. Tell me you're okay."

"Baby? Please."

"I'm sorry baby, I'm not mad, I'm fucking worried."

"Baby! You're killing me!"

"Please. Just a blank message will do."

"If you don't reply, I am going there right now!"

"On my way babe."

Nanlaki ang mata ko. That text was almost an hour ago. Hindi nagtagal ay may nagdoor bell.

And I'm right, It's him.

His eyes looked really angry and relieved at the same time. He was panting and sweating bullets.

"I'm so sorry Babe, dumating kasi si dad and we--"

Hindi na niya ako pinatapos. His lips crushed into mine. A very hot, hungry. Passionate and full of anger kiss. Kumawala siya sa halik and hugged me tight.

"Don't. Ever. Do. That. Again."

I blinked twice, still shocked and nodded yes.

Humarap siya ult sakin pero wala na ang galit. "You got me so damn worried for you."

"I'm sorry. Nawala sa isip ko. Dumating kasi si dad and we talked and made up."

He smiled. "I'm glad you're safe and in good terms with your dad now."

I smiled back and hugged him tight. "I'm really sorry. I won't do that again."

Iniharap niya ako sa kanya at hinalikan ang ilong ko. Kumunot ang noo niya.

"Your lower lip is bleeding." He stated.

"Hmm?" I brushed a finger on my lip. "Ay oo nga!"

He brushed the blood away. "I'm sorry I hurt you"

I grinned. "I deserved that anyway for making tou worried."

He shook his head. "No. You don't deserve to get hurt. You only deserve all the love and care in this world." He whispered and kissed my gushing lips. "I love you. With all of mu everything. Body and soul. Sagad."
