This chapter is a secret!
Joke lang. Pwede bang huwag magkwento?!
Hmmm paano ba?
Ayun nga kasi, we've never done it in the five years we've been together. We came close a few times, but Ethan and I said we'd wait. Sa kanya, wait to marry; for me, the right time that we were absolutely sure na kami na talaga.
It was tough!
I mean, we've had numerous trips with just the two of us and we would just be in one room.
I recall the first out of the country we had for our second anniversary was in Japan, during winter. We were snowed in on the third day there.
"Good morning, Boyfriend," I whispered, waking him up.
He groaned, pulled me closer, the nestled his face into my neck. "Ethan, nakikiliti ako."
"Hmmmm. Ang lamig. Let's stay here today."
I ran my fingers through his hair. "Mukhang hindi naman talaga tayo makakalabas. I was thinking let's try the private couples onsen?"
His head jerked up. "Ha?! Eh di ba naka-hubad dun?!"
"Malamang! Are you shy?"
He blushed. My Ethan actually blushed.
Hindi naman kami super conservative and marami-rami na narating yung mga hands namin at that point. It was the only time I realized na nahihiya pala si Ethan.
Which I don't get.
Wala siyang abs but he had a flat stomach, amazing pecs and biceps and a very cute butt, so I was curious why he was uncomfortable.
"It's not so much that I'm shy about my physical appearance, but siyempre, ibang stage na yung ng relationship natin."
After some convincing and a lot of boredom, we decided to give it a shot.
"Kung walang free slot, then huwag natin pilitin. But kung meron, can we please try?" I asked.
Excited ako makita siya okay? But, I was also nervous because seeing him in his birthday suit, meant he would see me, too.
As luck would have it, there was an available one and we took it. Our hands shook when we took off our robes and slowly dipped in.
The water was divine, but being there with Ethan was so tempting.
I'm not sure what he was thinking but he kept on gulping while looking at me. He was flushed, short of breath and he seemed to be in a constant struggle to keep his eyes trained on my face and not in my other exposed parts.
My initial bashfulness was wiped away because of how he was staring.
Ako?
Well, I've seen most of his body because of beach trips. But his... uhm, Cyclops, the one-eyed snake? My reaction when he took off his robe?
"Oh my god! Eth, ang laki!"
He blushed and turned. "Huy."
"Don't be shy! Pero oh my..."
He still didn't want to turn.
"Ang cute ng pwet!"
We kept giggling like school kids during our bath. Well, we giggled while checking each other out, in between moments when we tried desperately to behave while we were there.
