Somebody Waiting

Ikaw at Ako

Isa. Dalawa. Dalawa na parang isa. Parang isa na tila dalawa. Ganun ang pagkagawa sa mag-asawa. Dalawa na nagiging isa. Kaya hindi mo maaring saktan ang isa dahil kahit anong mangyari, sya ay kaparte mo. Kayong dalawa na isang misteryo kung bakit tinawag na iisa.

Richard

Humihikbi ka nung inakap ulit kita ng mahigpit. Sana malaman mo mahal ko na kahit ano pa man ang pangit ng mga alaala na meron ka, hindi mo na kailangang harapin yun mag-isa dahil nandito na ako.

Napasinghap ako ng malalim ng maisip yung 'ako'. Sa isang banda, yung presensya ko ang dahilan kung bakit parang lalong ang baba ng tingin mo sa sarili mo.

Umalis ako sa pagkakayakap hindi para iwan ka pero para may malaman lang mula sayo.

Raine seem to be startled by missing his warmth when he disentangled himself from the embrace. Her face marked with question.

"So you don't want me anymore?" His face sullen.

"What!? No!" Sabi agad nito. And then she started to tear up.

"Ayaw. Ayaw." She embraces him like he's going to leave. "Nag-iinarte lang ako mahal. Sorry na."

"Hmp. Think about it. They think I'm the most handsome but it seems like my charisma is affecting me negatively with that one person I want attention from." He frowned. "No use after all."

She stopped her ugly crying. Nagtatampo ata na talaga sya. Ano ba naman kasi Raine.

"Sorry na... what can I do to make amends?"

He tap her nose again trying not to smile.

"Don't bash yourself......

...and one kiss every thirty minutes."

"What!? Chard....alam mo namang I'm not a fan of PDA..." she's starting to argue.

"...and not just that." He said seriously.

"You would allow me to get mushy to you in public. With that includes kissing you whenever, hug you, kiss you again. Something like that."

Raine's mind was reeling. Anong pinagsasabi nito?

"Wait. May kiss na every thirty minutes, may unli harot ka pa? Okey lang sana kung nasa bahay tayo o kaya kung sila L.A lang kasama natin but we have a huge bunch of people in this island!"

"More like it. Para malaman nila kung gaano ako kapatay na patay sayo baby love. Ops! No rebuts allowed."

He inch his face closer to her that made her heart skipped a beat.

Wafu talaga.

"This is the prelude."

He kissed her senseless with a music he can only hear from her moans. Their room was filled with lip locks and fueled desire for each other. Tongues dance and dueled and make love as their hands move around, getting to places where no one is allowed but each other.

She remembers that first time she was left breathless by seeing Richard in another light. He is cute and handsome, and fluffy, and macho all in one. But what makes her breathless now more than this kiss they are sharing are the memories of his kindness, loyalty and love he has for her.

Raine looked unto his eyes and she loves what she sees through it—happy.

"Grabe naman yung prelude na yun love. Kakayanin ba kita today?" She said after what seem to eternity of a kiss.

He smirk.

"This is your punishment for bashing my wife."

"Ang pangit ko talaga. Di ako bagay sayo. Maramipaakongkailangangbaguhinsaparamagustu——-"

"Ahhh... naghahamon ka Mrs. Reyes."

She smirk.

"Bash mo nga rin sarili mo." She challenged.

Richard is happy. It seems that he is successful in distracting her. To his disadvantage, it seems that he too, is distracted already.
