Horny. Not exactly the reply that I was expecting. But, Gio has always been full of surprises.
"We should stop..." she said. "Oh, God, you're mad..."
"What do you mean exactly by you are horny?" I asked.
"Like I want to fuck—fuck, I shouldn't have said that..."
"Teka, klaruhin natin, are you horny because of me, or is that because of someone else?"
"Tinatanong pa ba 'yan? Of course, it's because of you."
"Mabuti..."
"So...hindi ka galit?"
"Bakit ako magagalit when I know that you're always horny," I said.
She laughed. "Grabe naman..."
"Hindi ba?"
"Baby, hindi naman parati. But, I'm not sure why I've grown more responsive with you around."
"Siguraduhin mo talaga 'yang with me around na 'yan, ha. Kasi, ewan ko na lang."
"Hala, kahit itanong mo pa kay Shey, sa'yo lang talaga ako malandi."
"Sus. Binola pa ako nito."
"Sa'yo lang. I was never physical with Leslie."
"Paano napasok 'yung ex mo sa usapan?"
"Diyos ko 'eto na naman po kami. 'Di ba, dahil sabi mo ay siguraduhin kong sa'yo lang ako malandi kaya naman lumabas 'yung statement na 'yun. Sa'yo lang ako malandi. Ngayon lang ako malandi. Period."
"Gan'un? Bakit? Ibig sabihin easy-to-get ako?"
"Ang lala mong mag-overthink..."
"Bakit nga?"
"Because I find you attractive and I am in love with you..."
She stroked my hair. "I missed you," she said. "I hated that you did not sleep beside me. Kaya kahit sinubukan ko kanina na magkunyari na kaya kong hindi ka lambingin ay hindi talaga gumana..."
I kissed her on the forehead before I rested my head below her chin.
"Baby..."
"Yes?"
"I love you. And I know that you don't believe me yet that's why you never said those words back to me but I mean them. Mahal kita..."
"Mahal din kita. Pero, wala ka nang nagawang trabaho. Anong oras na, kumusta naman ang productivity mo ngayong araw ng Lunes?"
She laughed softly. "It's a horny Monday."
"How does horny feel like?"
"Is that a serious question?"
"Oo. I mean how can you tell that you are horny?"
"Hm...I think this isn't the place for such a discussion."
"Bakit hindi mo na lang kasi sagutin?"
"Mahirap kasi 'yun i-explain so kailangan kong i-demonstrate."
"Sounds scandalous..."
"It is..." she agreed with a chuckle.
"G...?"
"Yes?"
"Ang bango mo." I nuzzled her neck. "Sobrang bangong-bango ako sa'yo..."
"Careful..." she said when I started raining kisses on her collarbone.
"Bakit?"
"Baka bigla tayong umuwi ng bahay nito..."
"Anong gagawin natin d'un?" I used my elbows to prop myself up so I could look at her face. "God, you are gorgeous..."
