Turning Tables

Aya

"What's this?" Kaagad kong binuksan ang mallit na itim na paper bag na inilatag ni Javier sa kamay ko. I have a slight fever and he wanted to spend the night and take care of me.

It's...a first for us, him spending the night. We are gradually establishing our relationship and we're making small adjustments, katulad ngayon.

Noon kasi sa WonderWall at Wonderland ay umaalis siya pagkatapos ng sex. I find it really sweet of him making such efforts. May kaunting sipon lang naman ako at bumaba na rin ang lagnat ko pero gusto niya pa ring samahan ako. I appreciated it a lot.

"Aya..." He trailed, I can tell that he is struggling with his words again. Kumahol din si Sadaharu bago naupo na sa tabi ko.

"Javier?"

"I want us to..."

"Want us to what?"

"Mierda...can you please open the bag?"

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay pero sinunod na. I found a key inside.

"What's this?"

"I...left my house...and I bought us a home. It's empty still, and we can choose another if you don't like the place...pasesniya na rin kung nangunahan ako."

I had to stifle a smile at his admittance.

"You want us to live together? You want me to invade your privacy?"

"Yes, por favor?...but I don't want you to feel pressured...I had been dying to ask you this since we got back together."

Got back together huh? I had to giggle at his cuteness.

"Hold on, we got back together, nagbreak tayo? So...we were in a relationship?"

He groaned. I am just riling him up, he looked hot riled up and unsure. Kung wala akong period ngayon ay...oh okay I can blow him pala...great thinking, vagina.

"You're mine." He hissed.

"I am, daddy...okay I'm sorry, I just love seeing you riled up."

He groaned again.

"For the record...yes, we were, we are in a relationship. You're my first and only relationship Aya. And the last one."

Hindi ko napigilang mapangiti ng malapad. Javier had been trying his best to open up to me and I adored him very much for it.

"Really?" I teased.

"Really. So yes, you were my girlfriend and now my wife."

"At lahat ng label na 'yan ay sapilitang inilagay mo." I raised a brow at him.

He groaned more. He's so hot talaga kapag nahihirapan sa akin, sana ay matapos na ang period ko.

Javier

"Aya-chan...please don't make it harder for me...its either this, me struggling to tell you how I truly feel or me...fucking you hard so that you can feel how I truly feel and then come inside you so that you can have my children. "

That shut her up.

"Okay, talking it is." She smiled at me sheepishly. Alam niyang hindi ako nagbibiro. I had been dropping hints about wanting children ever since I was able to clearly express myself. Isa lang iyon sa napakalaking pagbabagong nangyari sa sistema ko. It was...terrifying to embrace that fact but I knew that I have to let her know.

For..for once in my life I am able to picture myself as a father...and Aya, the mother of my children. I know that she'll be loving and kind...and good and will do everything to take care of hers, of ours...imagining our family like that was so detailed and vivid that it scared me.
