Payb Takes Book 3

Air

September 23, 10pm:

R: *walks over to where M is sitting on the carpeted floor of their room near the closet while she is busy packing her bag for a trip the next day, bites his lip as he quietly appreciates how hot his wife looks wearing his white shirt and boxer shorts with her hair pulled up in a messy bun, sits behind her settling her between his legs and wrapping his arms around her waist* Mamaya na yan.

M: *giggles as he softly blows on her left ear* Ano ba? Yan ang mamaya na. Tatapusin ko na to para di ko na intindihin mamaya.

R: *rubs his nose on the side of her neck and inhales deeply* Di mo ba ako na-miss? Kanina ka pa busy diyan.

M: Na-miss naman. Kailangan ko lang tong tapusin.

R: Na-miss naman? Ano to? Parang hindi naman. *pouts and rests his chin on her shoulder*

M: Ay sus ka po, Mr. Faulkerson. Paka-drama mo. Na-miss nga kita.

R: *grins* Talaga? Gaano mo ako ka-miss?

M: Sakto lang. Isang araw ka lang naman nawala. Tapos halos oras-oras tumawag at maya't-maya mag-text.

R: Sakto lang? Pasang-awa? 75? Ganoon? Mahal mo pa ba ako talaga? *sighs and buries his nose behind her ear*

M: *giggles, turns slightly to face R and caresses his cheek* Ano ka ba? Siyempre mahal na mahal kita. Emotero ka lang talaga. *grins and presses her nose on his*

R: Hindi ako nage-emote. Nakakatampo naman talaga na di mo man lang ako na-miss masyado. *pouts and hugs M tighter*

M: Tampo ka ba talaga o nagpapa-cute ka lang? Higpit ng yakap mo eh. *laughs*

R: Tuwang-tuwa ka noh?

M: Ang cute mo kasi eh. *grins and pinches his cheek* Oh bakit busangot pa rin? Tama na yan. Smile ka na please.

R: *sighs, looks into her eyes* Kung para sa'yo joke lang to, sa akin totoo. Hindi ako nage-emote o nagpapa-cute. Miss na miss kita talaga. Hindi sakto lang. Hindi pasang-awa. Sagad. Todo. Nakakasakal. Yung hindi ako makahinga kasi ikaw... you're my life, the air that I breathe. Kahit isang araw, isang linggo, isang oras o isang minuto akong malayo sa'yo, nami-miss kita sa bawat segundo. *sighs and looks down* Kaya nakakalungkot na hindi ka ganoon sa akin.

M: *moves to turn and completely face him, straddles him and wraps her legs around his hips, gently strokes his jaw and raises his chin so their gazes can meet again* Ganoon din naman ako. Miss kita palagi. Hinahanap-hanap kita sa bawat segundo pero kailangan sanayin ko din ang sarili ko na madalas talaga hindi tayo magkasama lalo na ngayon punong-puno ang schedules natin. What good would if I dwell on being sad that we're not together? I miss you. So much. I just chooses not to be unhappy about it. I can miss you and still smile. Miss you and still make fun of how big of a baby you are about it. *grins*

R: *chuckles* So ginu-good time mo ako? Ganoon? *grits his teeth and pinches her nose* Effective. Kakainis.

M: Talagang effective. Emotero ka eh. *laughs*

R: Hay ewan. Hindi ko kasi talaga magawang masanay na wala ka kahit gaano pa tayo kadalas magkalayo. *sighs and nuzzles on her neck*

M: *leans her head on his and gently pats his cheek* Ako din naman kahit gaano ko piliting gawin. Ang lala na natin noh? Sakit na to eh.

R: *chuckles and raises his head, cradles her face in his hands and touches their foreheads together* If my love for you is a disease, I want to be seriously sick forever. *grins*

M: Let's be sick together. *giggles* I love you, RJ ko.

R: I love you more, Menggay ko. *smiles and fervently kisses her lips* 💛🍃💛🍃💛🍃💛🍃
