Bumalik sila ni Marcus sa loob ng kwarto matapos sabay na pinagmasdan ang magandang pagbabago ng kulay sa kalangitan.
They slept and woke up only when a ringing phone won't stop. Marcus lazily pick his phone up at wala sa sriling sinagot ito ng nakahiga pa rin sa kamat at nakayakp sa kanya.
"Hello?" tanong nito sa kabilang linya. Narinig niyang nagsalita ang nasa kabilang linya nugnit hinddi klaro ang mga salita.
She saw Marcus's jaw tightened. Nagkatinginan sila.
"What?" he said in a flat tone. After listening to the response he pressed the end button.
"Who's that?"marahan niyang tanogn habang nilalagay nito pabalik ang cellphone sa side table.
He sighed and cupped her face. He looked straight into her eyes. "It was Monette," sagot nitong nananantiya sa magigigng reaksiyon niya. She swallowed the lump in her throat.
Tumango siya na ikinakunot ng noo nito. "Please tell me you're not mad."
"Why would I be mad?" she pretended not to be affected and she did It well.
Pinakatitigan siya nito. "She said she has something to show me."
"It's okay, Marcus. You don't have to explain." She said and hugged him instead, hoping the ugly feeling will go away.
Marcus hugged her back and kissed her on her hair. "Please promise me that you'll tell me what you're feeling."
Tumango siya kahit nalilito sa kung anong ibig sabihin ng sinabi nito.
Humiwalay ito ng yakap at tinitigan na naman siya.
Hinawi ang ilang hibla ng buhok niya saka huminga ng malalim. "I will listen and I'll try to understand whatever you're feeling, okay?"
"Okay."
"Good. I don't want to wake up one day and you're mad at me. I have to know what you think and what you feel."
She smiled at him. "Now, we have to get up and eat."
"We don't need to get upto eat," he smirked at her and she knows this look. Tinampal niya ito sa dibdib at bumangon na. Humalakhak lamang ang kapre at nahiga muli.
Wearing only her shirt she looked for her underwear. Where did this man throw it?
When she bend down to look for it on the floor, she heard him whistle.
Masamang tinging nilingon niya ito na nakatingala sa kisame habang unan ang dalawang braso at pasipol sipol.
Nang tumalikod siya muli at naghanap ay narinig niya itong nagsalita. "Nice ass baby."
She glared at him and said "That's disrespectful."
"What? That's called appreciation," maang nitong tanong.
Humalukipkip siya at masama itong tiningnan.
"Woah! Fine, fine baby, I'm sorry," sabi nitong patayo at lumapit sa kanya. He holds her on her shoulders.
"If you're not comfortable, then I'll shut my mouth. But I wanted you to know you're the most gorgeous in my eyes."he said it sincerely and kissed her on the tip of her nose.
Napairap siya pra ikubli ang kilig. Niyakap siya nito kapagkuwan.
"Damn! Is that what they call 'makuha ka sa tingin' look?" he chuckled at his own realization.
Humiwaly ito sa yakap at nakangiting tinitigan siya. "You're too hot in the morning, baby." He said and give her a deep kiss. Itinulak niya itong ikinabigla nito.
