Avaricious Hearts

Skipper Clint Vergara

"You should start being serious with girls, Skipper. Why can't you be a one-woman man?" my mother asked in a knotted forehead.

I smile at her and hug her. I am always sweet when it comes to her. I love being sweet to her. And I love seeing Tatay irritated with it.

"Nanay, I didn't work hard to attain this body for just a single woman to appreciate it. I am God's greatest gift to women. It will be unfair for the others if I stayed with just one" I reasoned out.

She pulled my hair. "Aren't you afraid of karma?" 

I just hug her tighter.

"Nauna na 'yung karma ko" mahinang bulong ko.

I closed my eyes as I felt  her loving arms wrapped around me. She also patted my back.

"Then she's just not the only one. When your Ms. Right come, do you want to feel ashamed for all the mess you're doing now?"she gently asked.

I sighed. She's hitting all my weaknesses. Sadly, I stopped believing the right one she's talking about 

I force myself to give a mischievous grin. I chuckled.

"There won't be anyone coming, 'Nay. And if ever she did come, she has to love me despite everything wrong with me. Like what you did with Tatay. You love him in spite of everything" I smile at her.

Her eyes show pity. I made a face.

"Stop giving me that face, Nanay. I am just enjoying myself" I wiggle my brows

She sighed. "I don't know, Skipper. I want to slap that bitch for turning you into this kind of monster" she said in an irritated tone. She even rolled her eyes.

I smiled even a part of me hurts. 

"Woman wants a monster in bed. Mas masarap kapag mas wild" I winked at her.

Binatukan ako ng Nanay ko at tumalikod na para ayusin ang supplies na binili niya para sa unit ko.

My mother is the best Mom, believe me.

"'Di ba mas enjoy kayo ni Tatay kapag nasa beast mode" kulit ko pa sa kanya at tumulong na sa pag-aayos sa mga cabinet

I saw how her face turned crimson.

I can talk all sorts of things with my parents. That's how close we are. 

My father even taught me all the positions possible while fucking. 

"Shut up, Skipper. Respect your mother" mataray na sagot niya

I shut my mouth. Did I cross the limit?

"I'm sorry, Nanay. I just want to lighten the mood. You know I hate talking about her" i sighed

She look at me knowingly. "Move on, son"

I take another deep breath. "I did. I am totally over her. But it doesn't mean that I can take another serious relationship. Masaya na ako sa ganito. I can live with it"

"The right one will come. I know. Just wait" she smile. "Love will come in the most unexpected way" she winked at me.

I chuckle. "Can you produce a copy of you, Nanay? Your the epitome of the perfect woman to love"

"I'm sorry, dear son. I am the only one and I am exclusively for your father only. There's no other copy of me. But I know that you'll find your perfect match one day"

I smile at her.

I already found her. She just left me.

And that day, the day she left me, I know that I will never say those Three Words again
