My Greatest What If - Moira Gokongwei (Published)

Chapter 22

"Okay ka lang ba, Baby?" Gio asked holding me close as I lay limply against her. "Baby...?"

"Teka lang," I murmured.

She planted her lips on my cheek.

"Ano ba naman 'yun, nakakagulat," I said.

She held me tighter. "You are so responsive...I'm so eager to do it again."

"Ay, ayoko na. Bahala ka d'yan, matutulog na ako," I retorted.

She laughed before she buried her face into my hair and then inhaled deeply. "I love you so much, Moira Gokongwei..."

"I love you so much, too," I said before I pushed away from her.

"Bakit, Baby?"

"It was what I think it is, right?" I asked.

She smiled. "Hm...what did you think it was?"

"Gio, come on, you know what I'm talking about."

"Are you finding it...awkward? Or embarrassing perhaps...?"

"I'm not worried about that. Tayong dalawa lang naman ang nandito," I said. "I can handle awkward with you."

"So, what is it then?"

"Paano ka?"

"Ha?"

"Ako lang?"

"Ang?"

"Ang gan'un? Alam mo na..." I asked.

She laughed out loud. "You are blushing so hard, Baby. Ang pula-pula mo na."

"Just answer my question. Ang dami mo kasing sinasabi, eh. Nahihiya na ngang magtanong 'yung tao tungkol sa gan'un tapos tatawa ka pa talaga."

"I'm okay. You don't have to worry about that."

"Paano ka naging okay? One-sided pala itong pleasure na ito?"

"Hindi. I get pleasure from you getting pleasure. Mahirap i-explain, pero, darating tayo d'yan. Sa ngayon, I am enjoying the gratification of your bliss. It will happen, don't worry about it. No rush. We have the rest of our lives to teach each other what pleases us."

"That sounds sinful."

"No, it sounds sensual, don't you think?" she asked before she kissed me affectionately on the lips leaving me breathless.

"Bakit ang galing mong humalik?" I asked nibbling her lower lip.

"Hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong ma-flatter o matakot kasi baka kung saan o kanino na naman mapunta 'yung usapan."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Gan'yan ako kapraning na natatakot ka kaysa ma-flatter kapag pinupuri kita?"

"Ayoko kasi ng away. At ayokong pag-awayan natin 'yung ibang tao."

"Oo, hindi nga."

"Promise?"

"Oo nga," I said.

She smiled before she tucked wayward strands of my hair behind my ear.

"Baby, thank you..." she softly said.

"Para saan?"

"Because you really made me feel that I am enough. Alam mo bang natakot ako na baka hindi kita madala sa kung saan kita gustong dalhin?"

"Punung-puno ng kasalanan talaga 'yung balak mong pagdalhan sa akin, ano?" I teased but realized that she was getting teary-eyed. "I'm happy with you. I'm content with you. Whatever you want to do, wherever you want to take me I'll meet you halfway."
