Solitude

November 2016 🇩🇪

Nicomaine plopped down on her hotel room's bed immediately after organizing her luggages. She's now feeling exhausted after her short tour in London with the Tuvieras, their trip from London to Germany and their first day in Germany. But, for her, what she's feeling is nothing compared to the exhaustion that her Richard is definitely feeling right now after his long flight from the Philippines and his jam-packed work before that. Remembering this, she reached for her cellphone to call him. While she was about to press number one on her speed dial, someone knocked on her door. She opened her door and was not surprised to see her Richard ,who looks so tired, sleepy and fresh from the shower, wearing a royal blue robe. She immediately let him in.

"Can I sleep beside you, mahal?"

"Of course. Go ahead and sleep. I'll just take a shower before I follow you."

"Hintayin kita. Sabay tayo matulog."

"But you're already tired, mahal."

"Iidlip na lang muna ako pero please wake me up when you're done."

"Sure." Then he kissed her on her forehead before she went inside the bathroom to shower.

--------------------

After doing her nightly rituals, she laid down beside Richard, who was now sleeping soundly body facing down and facing her. She is laying on her side facing him. She didn't intend to wake him up anymore but she can't stop herself from poking his dimples and massaging his hair.

What did I do great to deserve you, mahal.

"I love you, RJ."

He stirred and slowly opened his eyes. They are facing each other.

"I love you too, Maine." He pulled her closer to him through her waist and he kissed her gently on her forehead, nose and lips. She then placed and nuzzled her head on the crook of his neck while intertwining her legs with his while they were engulfed in each others arms.

"Namiss kita ng sobra sobra."

"Me too. Kung sana sabay tayo, nakapagpahinga ka na rin sana kahit papano."

"Atleast, nandito na ako."

"Yep, oh tulog na ulit. Alam kong pagod na pagod ka."

"Ayaw." He pouted.

"Ay, nako. Kahit di ko nakikita, alam kong naka-pout ka diyan. RJ payb yir old ha." Then she laughed and looked at him.

"Hindi na ako naantok eh. Kailangan ko ng pampatulog." *kilay language*

"Ay, Richard Faulkerson Jr. mas lalo kang mapapagod dun."

"Pleath."

"Ahh! Alam ko na!" She immediately sat up.

"Harap ka, mahal."

"Tanggalin natin robe mo."

"Teka, akala ko ayaw mo?!"

"Isa. Da. Ayan, let me help you."

"Yung totoo, nilalabhan mo pa ba yang boxers na yan?? Hahahahaha!"

"Makatawa ka. Identical set po yan, payb pieces. Alam kong favorite mo yan diba." *winks*

"Ay nako. Oh talikod na. Ay, teka may kukuhanin lang ako." She went inside the bathroom and immediately went back. Before she settled herself again on the bed, she first removed her silk cream robe revealing the matching spaghetti strapped silk night dress she's wearing.

"Oh, ang sexy talaga."

"Tigilan mo ako Richard. Kinikilig ako." *pabebe with matching hawi ng hair*

"Oh, talikod na dali." He turned and now with his body facing down. After kissing him in the cheeks first, she then climbed and straddled his back, settling just above his buttocks. But before she busied herself with her primary goal, she reached for his buttocks at her back and slapped it playfully.

"Ay, ang lambot lambot talaga ng pwet ni Richard!" Then they both laughed together.

"Hahahaha! Mukhang alam ko na gagawin mo. Sigurado ka ba mahal? Pagod ka rin. Matulog na lang tayo."

"Yes, gusto kong gawin 'to." Then she put some lotion on her hands and started massaging her Richard until he fell asleep. She laid down beside him after and covered them with the comforter. Feeling great that she somehow ease the pain and tiredness and helped him relax, she joined him to dreamland but after she felt him pulling her closer again and mumbling "Thank you, Maine. I love you so much, Mahal."
