My Greatest What If - Moira Gokongwei (Published)

Chapter 32

We intentionally did not talk about the phone call with her lawyer, the video we uploaded, and that girl who had asked to take our photo.

At least it was intentional on my part. As for Gio, she seemed to be content holding me in her arms while watching television.

"Saan ka pupunta?" she asked when I moved.

"Ililipat ko sa pen n'ya si Duchess, nakatulog na habang kalong ko, eh."

"Pinagod mo kasi 'yung tuta. Ikaw kaya kilitiin nang ilang oras, tingnan natin kung hindi ka rin mapagod."

"Kaya nga, ilalagay na sa tulugan n'ya."

"Bilisan mo. H'wag kang mag-pa-miss," Gio said.

I gave her a flying kiss in reply before I took Duchess to her pen.

I was back a minute later. "Ano ba 'yang pinapanuod mo?"

"Documentary about engineering feats," she answered glancing at me. "May gusto ka bang panuorin?"

"D'un na lang ako sa bedroom manunuod."

"Ayoko...Baby, dito ka lang..."

"Grabe naman makaungot 'to."

"Dito ka lang, gusto ko magkatabi tayo. Ano ba kasi ang gusto mong panuorin?"

"Wala. Hindi rin naman ako mahilig manuod ng TV. Manuod ka lang."

She kissed me on the forehead before her eyes were glued to the screen again.

I am bored, I thought to myself.

I couldn't find anything interesting about what she was watching and I was getting sleepy.

'Yun lang kasi engineer 'yung jowa mo 'tapos wala ka man lang kahilig-hilig d'un sa mga hilig n'ya.

I hid a yawn behind my hand.

"Gusto mo na bang matulog?" she asked.

"No," I said.

My head was leaning against her left shoulder and I tilted my face up to study her profile.

"Alam mo bang ang ganda mo?" I asked.

She frowned at me before she laughed. "Guwapo, Baby. Anong maganda? Ikaw ang maganda."

"Maganda, guwapo...you're both..." I replied before I sat up and then knelt on the sofa facing her.

"Ano 'yun?" she queried.

I shook my head before I kissed her on the cheek.

"Naglalambing ang Baby ko?"

I put my arms around her before I buried my face in the crook of her neck. "You mean the universe to me, G..." I whispered. "Lahat kaya kong ibigay para sa'yo. Kahit sino, kaya kong iwan para sa'yo. Lahat kakayanin ko basta nand'yan ka."

"I feel the same way. Lahat kaya ko basta nand'yan ka. Kahit nga siguro landi sa katawan napipigil ko para sa'yo..."

"Talaga?" I asked.

She instantly pouted. "Bakit, gusto mong pigilin ko?"

"Akala ko ba lahat kaya mo?" I challenged.

"H'wag naman, Baby. Iiyak talaga ako..."

"Sige na, ngayon lang naman. Tingnan lang natin kung kaya mo nga..."

"Grabe ka sa akin..."

I laughed before I started nibbling her ear.

"Hindi ko na po kaya..."

"Kaya mo 'yan...ikaw pa ba?"

"Marupok lang ako..."
