Chapter 31: A day in the Beach
Nagising ako dahil sa sinag ng araw na dumaan sa siwang ng kurtina. I stretch out my body only to find Rage beside me hugging Thunder. I smiled. Mahimbing itong natutulog sa bisig ng ama niya. Nakita ko kung paano bahagyang gumalaw ang labi ni Rage, maybe he’s dreaming of something good.
When I looked at Thunder my face turned red. Naalala ko na naman kagabi. Wala naman akong sinagot sa kaniya, because that was just too intense. Hindi ko kaya makipagsabayan.
I just hope that he'll forget about it. Baka nadala lang din siya ng damdamin. Or he's just confused like me.
Dahan-dahan akong bumangon. I tiptoed outside the room papunta sa maliit na kitchen area ng suite. Plano ko sana na magluto ng breakfast but when I opened the refrigerator ay halos wala namang laman ito. I thought the hotel provided free food that was meant for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner, but sadly, the fridge is just full of snacks and juices.
Isinara ko nalang uli ito at nagtimpla nalang ng kape para sa sarili. Habang hinihintay kong uminit ang tubig, I kept thinking about last night. My fingers unconsciously touched my lips. The memory still lingered. I could still feel his breath against my neck.
Then I heard movement. Paglingon ko, si Thunder. Kakagising lang niya. He walked toward me, topless, with his hair a bit messy and eyes still half-lidded.
My chest starts to pound again. Ito na naman!
"G-good morning." pagbati ko. I tried to make it casual and normal. He greeted me back with a wide smile on his face na minsan ko lang makita. "Good morning." his voice is still hoarse.
Lalapit na sana siya but I stepped away quickly at dumiretso sa kama kung saan mahimbing pa ring natutulog si Rage. I tried to wake him up pero naramdaman ko agad ang maiinit na bisig sa likod ko.
He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me gently. Napaupo ako sa hita niya. Napasinghap ako sa gulat.
He's not over it yet?! Akala ko kagabi lang yun. I felt him kiss the top of my head.
"Thunder!" I hissed. I heard him chuckled from the back. Tuwang-tuwa pa yan siya. "How's your sleep?" he asked casually na para bang okay na okay kami.
"Bitaw nga." binalingan ko siya. He amusingly raised his eyebrows on me. "Wala, bwesit na." pambabara ko sa kaniya.
Another warm arms embraced my neck. Nagulat ako dahil gising na ang baby namin. "H-hi, good morning." he gave me a kiss on the cheeks, and bumaling din sa daddy niya para bigyan ito ng halik. "Good morning, mommy! Good morning, daddy!" masiglang bati nito.
Napanguso ako. I was hoping that that kiss is just for me.
"Are you both friends na po?" agad akong natauhan. Thunder is still holding me! And the fact that I'm still on his lap!
"We're not friends, buddy." he paused to look at me. "We're more than that." agad na nag-init ang buong pisngi ko. I just want to get out of here! From this man!
"Po? Are you lovers, then?" parang nabilaukan ako sa sinabi ng anak ko. Where did he learn that?
"N-no, baby." ako na ang sumagot baka kung ano na naman ang sabihin ni Thunder. "Po? But mama Summer told me na kapag po ang isang girl and boy are not friends, and they're not enemies, and if they're more than friends, it means they're lovers! You're not mad at daddy naman po, diba? So you're not enemies either, that means you're lovers!" he even giggled.
"Yes, baby. We're lovers. We're family." si Thunder na naman ang sumagot. Confident pa siya sa pag sagot. Parang gusto ko nalang lagyan ng tape ang bibig niya sa pinagsasabi niya sa anak namin.
