Payb Takes Book 2 (COMPLETED)

One Call Away

September 5, 12:00am, R's condo:

R: *lies on his bed, hears his phone ring, answers* Love? Bakit? Wait. Are you crying?

M: *sobs and sniffs on the other line* Love, I need you... *sobs*

R: *sits up so fast he feels his head whirl* What is it, Love? Bakit? Anong nangyayari? Please try to calm down. *stands up, puts on a shirt while struggling to hold his phone to his ear* Love, talk to me please...

M: *sobs and cries* Love... Ang sakit... Can you get here?

R: Shit. Anong nangyayari sa'yo, Love? *pulls up his pants, struggling to zip it as he picks up his keys* Andyan na ako. Wait for me. Five minutes. Just please, Love. Wait for me. Kalma ka muna.

M: *hangs up*

R: Love? Shit! *bolts out the door, checks notifications on his phone*

R

: *sighs* Kawawa naman baby girl ko. Buti nag-tweet malapit na akong mabuang dito sa panic ko. *gets in the elevator, thinks of a plan to make M feel better*

//

R: Love? *arrives in M's condo minutes later*

M: Sa kwarto, Love. *calls out from her room*

R: *rushes to M's room, opens the door*

M: Love! Thank God you're here. *runs to R's arms and hugs him tight, sobs*

R: Ssshhh... Andito na ako. Don't cry na, Love, please. *hugs M and caresses her hair and back*

M: Love kasi... Ilang oras ko yun ginawa... Tapos...

R: I know... I know, Love. *kisses M's hair* Halika, Love. Sumama ka sa akin.

M: *pulls away and looks at R* Bakit Love? Saan tayo pupunta?

R: Basta, Love. Sama ka na. Mag-jacket ka na lang to cover up yung for your eyes only ko. *grins*

M: *giggles, pokes R's nose* Ikaw talaga, Love. Nakita mo pa yun? Paano?

R: Siyempre naman at... na-feel ko din pagyakap mo. *bites lip, grins*

M: *pinches R's cheek* Ewan ko sa'yo, Love. Nangaano ka talaga eh. Pero thank you, Love for being here agad agad. Talaga nga naman you're just one call away, Love. My very own super hero. *smiles* I love you, my dear Richard Faulkerson Jr.

R: Always, Love. Isang tawag mo lang, lilipad ako, kung pwede nga mag-teleport para mas mabilis. I love you more and more and more, my one and only Menggay, my life and my soon-to-be forever Mrs Faulkerson. *smiles, hugs M around the waist* Pakasal na tayo, Love para yung one call away maging one kalabit away na lang. *grins, kilay language*

M: *laughs* Huy, Faulkerson!

R: *laughs* Halika na, Love.

R&M : *ride the elevator to the rooftop*

M: Wow. Ano to Love?

R: Eto Love tatlong baso na binalot ko sa basahan para pag binato mo sa pader, di magkakalat ang bubog.

M: Bakit ko naman itatapon sa pader, Love?

R: Kanina kasi Love sabi mo gusto mo na ibato at durugin yung laptop mo. Wag yun, Love. Sayang. Malaking bawas sa ipon. Ito na lang. Bente pesos lang isa plus dalawang piso sa basahan bale sixty six pesos lahat. Same satisfaction na may binasag at dinurog ka sa frustration mo pero higit na mas mura. Ayos ba?

M: *laughs* Ang talino mo dun, Love pero di na ako naiinis ngayon kasi andiyan ka na. Actually, ikaw lang naman ang kailangan ko. Just one hug from you makes everything better, Love. Tsaka sayang din yung sixty six pesos, Love, anim na pirasong diapers na yun ni Thirdy. *giggles*

R: Hmmm... I love your foresight, Love. Okay, wag na natin basagin yan, Love. Itago na lang natin magagamit pa natin yan.

M: Love, thank you talaga. You are the best fiancé any girl could ever have. *slips her arms around R's waist, hugs R, rests her cheek on his back*

R: Sabihin na natin totoo yan, Love pero... *turns to face M and looks straight into her eyes* Only one girl can have me and that is you, Love. Only you. My whole being is yours.

M: Ako din, Love. For Richard Faulkerson Jr. ONLY Forever.

R: So, okay na ang baby ko? Di na masama ang loob mo, Love?

M: *shakes her head* Nanghihinayang pa rin ako, Love pero it doesn't mean na masama pa rin loob ko. I feel so much better now. Alam ko, masusulat ko ulit yun.

R: What can I do to help, Love?

M: Hmmm... Three things okay lang?

R: Anything for you, Love. Ano yun?

M: A song, a backrub at isang kagat sa tenga.

R: Kagat sa tenga, Love? Pero alam mo namang... *blushes*

M: *smirks, kilay language* Yes. Alam ko, Love.

R: So... Ibig sabihin... Yun muna?

M: Endorphins beats stress and clears one's mind, Love. Now we can add health benefits and intellectual stimulation to the satisfaction.

R: Oh, Love you're so hot when you talk smart.

M: Talaga? *smirks* Well then, let me show you just how smart I can get, Love. *slips her arms over his shoulder, slowly inches her face towards R's and kisses him passionately under the stars*
