The Mayor's

CHAPTER 21

_

"Oh my God!" Napatakip ng bibig si Gwen sa gulat nang makita ang resulta ng tatlong pregnancy test na hawak ko.

"I knew it! Tagal ko ng napapansin ang mga mood mo eh. Congratulation sis!" Mangiyak ngiyak na niyakap ako ni Gwen. I can't help but to shed tears in happiness as we bind our hug.

"Thank you," I said emotionally.

"Hindi pa rin ako ako makapaniwala." Kumalas ito ng yakap habang pinunasan ang kaniyang mga luha. Natatawang umiiyak na rin ako.

"Parang kailan lang mga bata pa tayo at sabay nangangarap pero ngayon.." Gwen pointed me. "Isa ka ng mommy."

"I'm so happy, Gwen." I wiped my tears.

"Ako rin masaya para sayo, Soly." Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko, I held her palm tightly too. From the beginning until now, si Gwen lang ang naging kasangga ko, kasama sa lahat at hindi tinalikuran. Kung may ipapasalamat pa man ako sa diyos yun ay ang naging maswerteng kaibigan ako ni Gwen.

"Alam na ba niya?" She asked, umiling ako.

"Naghahanap pa ako ng magandang timing."

"For sure Laurent will be happy." Ngisi nito.

"I hope so Gwen,"

I hope Gideon will have a positive reaction if I ever tell him about this but I know, he will. He will love his child, we will love it.

"Grabe ah, mag-iisang buwan pa lang kayo nagkabalikan na buntis ka na agad? hindi naman halatang sabik na sabik kayo 'no." ani Gwen.

Uminit ang pisngi ko sa sinabi nito at natawa.

"Five years, Gwen. Five years." I said pointed it.

She barked a loud laugh. "Kaya kastang kasta kayo eh."

"Sige nga, ilang beses ba sa isang linggo?" She asked playfully.

"Ang alin?" Kunot noong tanong ko rito.

"Mag sex! ano pa ba? ito naman jusko!"

I almost choked at his sudden unfiltered statement. My face heated, I smirked at her.

"I don't know. Sa tuwing umuuwi lang naman siya."

"Kailan ba siya umuuwi? diba araw araw ka namang inuuwian nun?-Oh my god! Ibig sabihin, araw araw kang was-" I immediately put my palm on her mouth.

"Shut up."

Agad nito kinalas ang kamay ko sa bibig niya at tinapunan ako ng tingin sa baba. I rolled my eyes on her.

"Stop it, Gwen. It's n-normal for a c-couple to do that." I said defensively.

"Yeah, it's normal for a couple who departed five of years." Ngising umiling iling ito habang nakatingin sa akin.

Nang gabing iyon ay nag duty na rin ako kahit na medyo inaantok ako at masama ang pakiramdam. My mood lightened when Gideon picked me up after my shift.

"Good evening," he greeted, hindi pa ako nakaupo ng maayos sa front seat ay inatake na niya agad ako ng halik. It was deep and sudden but very short. Napaawang ang labi ko nang kumalas na ito.

"How's your shift?" he licked his lips as he started to maneuver his car. Napatitig ako ng ilang sandali sa labi niya bago bumalik sa tamang wisyo. Ganito na ba ako kasabik sakaniya?

Ganito ba talaga pag buntis? I may be familiar with the signs and symptoms but I didn't expect it to turn out like this, craving for his intimacy.

Especially now that he smells so good and handsome as well with his halfway ponytail hair at may iilang hibla sa gilid. He's wearing a black tight t-shirt like his usual shirt back then. His chest and biceps were very firm and hard, that's why if someone will see him now their head will really turn at him.
