Calming the Storm

Kabanata 13

Nang matapos kami kumain ay nag simula na kami mag pack ng pagkain na ibibigay namin sa mga bata sa lansangan. Ramiel prioritizes my food before joining me. Ang sabi niya ay aayusin muna niya ang pagkain na makakain ko at itinabi sa fridge. Ayaw na ayaw talagang nagugutom ako.

"I won't share my spaghetti," pinal na sabi ko.

He chuckled. "Okay. We won't share your spaghetti."

May palabok at pancit naman sila. Ayos na din ito pang meryenda lalo na tingin ko ay naglalaro sila sa ilalim ng tirik ng araw.

"Sana magkasya 'to sakanila," ani ko nang makatapos kaming mag ayos ng pagkain.

"I think this will suffice. Hindi naman sobrang daming bata."

Tumango. "Sige, Ramiel. Sabi mo yan."

He made a face while putting all the paper meals inside a big box.

Naligo muna ako at nag ayos. He said we would go somewhere after our task to feed the children. I wore some of the clothes he bought for me. Just a white cropped polo and its skirt. I got so used to wearing pants and shirts because they are more comfortable, but having Ramiel around made me love these styles of clothes.

Nang pumasok ako sa kwarto ay naabutan ko siya sa kama na natutulog. I made my steps as light as possible. I don't want to wake him up. He's tired of traveling from Bulacan to Batangas and then back to Manila. He even watched with me. Then, I guess, he woke up earlier to prepare all of his plans.

Umupo ako sa gilid niya. I felt him move a little, but he did not wake up. I cautiously dried my hair with a towel.

"Oh?" naiusal ko nang maramdaman ang pagpulupot ng isang braso niya sa bewang ko.

He's now in his side-lying position, locking me with his arm. I can feel his warm breath on my bare waist. It did not bother me.

"What time did you wake up? You look tired. We can just stay here after giving food." 

Medyo lumingon ako sakaniya. I saw a familiar tranquility written on his face while he was holding me.

"Ramiel..." I called him soothingly. I brushed my fingers on the side of his hair, making him look more rested.

I repeated my action until I heard his heavy breathing. His hold was not tight anymore, but it was still heavy because of his weight. He's a big man!

"Baby, you smell so damn good."

"Ang akala ko nakatulog ka na. Just rest, Ramiel. We still have a lot of time."

But the beast rose to sit, still not removing his hold on me. He even pulled me closer to him! And, of course, I know what he wants to do.

He rested his nose on my temple.

"We will go. I'll just take a bath," he said huskily.

"But you're still tired!"

"I'm not. I will never get tired."

"Maligo ka na kung gano'n!"

"Bakit kasi di mo ako sinabay? Tinatamad tuloy ako maligo," he said teasingly.

Ako pa talaga ang hahamunin? Sinilip ko siya sa gilid ko. Sinadya kong mapungay ang mga mata ko. I squinted my eyes more and made sure my voice was sexy enough to turn him on.

"Baby, we can do it later when we get home. Hm? What do you think?"

"Fuck!"

Tumawa ako nang humiwalay siya na parang napapaso. Ang OA!
