Tú Eres Mi Sol

LXVIII

Richard felt someone come into his bed. He was napping. They left the farm at 3 in the  morning, so that people can still rest a little before coming into work that Monday morning.

He opened his eyes under the covers and sees it's Dei.

"Bakit andito ka? Anong oras na ba?" Richard asks Dei

"Mag-12 na. Namiss na kita e."

"Ang hirap pala matulog na may katabing bata no? Yung arms ni Nicola nasa mukha ko na tapos yung katawan niya nasa chest ko. Hindi ako makagalaw kasi baka magising siya."

"RJ, Love, ganoon talaga si Nicola matulog, nagsisiksik. Kaya ba parang panda ang mata mo ngayon? Hindi ka nakatulog?"

Richard nods his head

"Kawawa naman RJ ko." Dei gives him a kiss on the lips which turned into a longer, more passionate kiss. Richard was about to suck Dei's lower lip when he hears the door open.

"RJ! RJ!"

Richard pops his head under the duvet cover. "Yaya, natutulog pa ako e."

"Sinabi sa akin ni Johnny na audito daw si Dei, hindi ko makita."

Dei was under the duvet surrounded by big pillows that Richard required when sleeping.

"Yaya... .. ay, nasa CR ata."

"Bakit hindi ka sigurado?"

"Ginising mo ako e."

"Hay, o sige, sige. Paglabas ni Dei, baba na kayo, nahanda na yung lunch niyo."

"Yaya, anong ulam?"

"Menudo"

"ANOOOOOO? AYOKO NA KUMAIN!"

"Eto naman, hindi mabiro. Sinigang na pork, Singaporean Chilli Crab, Caesar Salad, Inihaw na squid at brown rice."

"Yaya, ang sarap! Mga favorite ko! Sige baba na ako."

Yaya Virgie closed the door and Dei popped out. 

"RJ.."

The door opened again, Dei ducked under the covers.

"YAYA!"

"Bakit ka sumisigaw?"

"Wala po."

"Sasabihin ko lang na maligo ka na bago ka bumaba kasi pinapupunta ka ni Ma'am Rose sa office niya. Dapat kanina pa, pero sabi ko after lunch na lang kasi mukhang gusto mo pang matulog kanina."

"Thanks, Yaya!"

Richard got out of bed and listened through the door. He heard that the sound of the steps were fading. He pulled Dei from under the covers. 

He gave her a deep searing kiss that left her stunned. By the time she was able to recover, Richard was already in the bathroom.

"Dei! Buti naisama ka ni RJ dito."

"Ah, Auntie. Hmm.. Ililibre daw kasi ako ni RJ. Minsan lang yun kaya napilitan akong sumama."

"Ano, ililibre kita?"

Dei looked at Richard with her eyes as big as saucers

"Ay oo nga. Mom, Ililibre ko pala itong si Dei. Pinapupunta mo daw ako dito sabi ni Yaya."

"Oo, Hijo. There was a presentation sana that I was going to ask you to attend pero it was cancelled and by the time I called Virgie, nakaalis na daw kayo. Since andito na din si Dei, Hija, you can come with me"

"Saan ang punta natin, Auntie?"

"My friend owns this advertising agency, they are casting male models for a few of their summer ads for next year. I'm going to see what the fuss is about."

"Gwapo ba, Auntie?"

"Some of them are, but most of them have well-built bodies. Summer edition e!"

"Auntie, Sama ako!"

"Ano sasama ka? Sasama din ako. Mom, alam ba ito ni Dad?" Richard asks

"Oo naman anak. You can even call your Dad!"

***

The place were bustling with people, models walking freely in a barely there trunks. Most of them chiseled and buffed. 

Richard became a little insecure with what he saw, he works out to maintain his six-pack abs, but these fellows lived in a gym. 

"Rose!"

"Anita!"

"Come here!"

Dei and Richard passed by a few models, Dei's eyes lingered on a male model's abs, it had more chiseled 8 pack abs. 

"Feel free touch it" The model told Dei

Richard's arms wrapped immediately around Dei. 

A barrage of male models walked in front of them. Most of them seemed to develop an instant crush at Dei. They were all winking at Dei and smiling at her. 

Richard couldn't take it anymore. 

"Mom, naalala ko may pupuntahan pala kami ni Dei."

"May pupuntahan tayo?" Dei said

"Oo, May reservation tayo."

He dragged Dei out of her chair, she was still looking at the male models' bodies.

After several minutes of walking, he pushed Dei into one of the unisex bathrooms. He carried Dei to the sink. And he pulls his shirt up.

"Meron naman akong abs ha?" Richard shows her his chiseled abs. "Bakit ka pa tumitingin doon?"

"Six pack lang meron ka. Siya, eight pack." 

He gets her hands and puts it on top of his abs. "Talaga ba?"

Her thumb feels every line and valley of his abs. "Parang hindi naman impressive e." She replies clearly hiding her excitement.

"Talaga lang?" He pulls her for a rough passionate kiss, their tongues duelling and lips sucking each other.

He stops. "Anong masasabi mo?"

Dei dumbfounded at what happened, took about a few minutes to reply. "Parang?"

"Parang ano? Doon ka na lang sa mga male models mo."

"Parang kulang." Dei pulls him back for another kiss, she ensured that he felt the intensity and the passion from her.

"Eto naman, selos ka ba, RJ, Love? Ang nakita mo yung male models, hindi mo nakita yung bang mga staff doon, ikaw ang type. They haven't removed their eyes from you since you walked into that door. Halos hubaran ka na ng iba."

"Nagselos ka, baby girl? Sa iyo lang itong katawan na ito."

"Talaga ba?"

"Ay! Ay!" Dei shouted

"Bakit? Na-on yung faucet. Nabasa ako."

"Let'd go, baby girl. (he carries her down the sink) Let's leave before we get found out."

***

"Gloria, why did you come back?" Anita asked an older lady.

The lady smiled widely and whispered to Anita and Rose. "I wanted to use the senior citizen cubicle, but I heard there was a couple making out."

"To be young and be filled with folly, to be bold and adventurous." Rose said 

"Ah, I miss those times with Manuel when we were younger and not a care in the world!" Anita said.

The three ladies snickered and continued watching the male models' audition
