Chapter 23
"Let's end this shit, wife. I want this to be real. I want us real. I want to marry you again. This time, for real,"
Because of those words, I think I became deaf. Nabingi ako. Nabingi ako sa sobrang lakas ng tibok ng aking puso.
"If you're doing this because of the baby, don't worry hindi ko siya ipagkakait sa'yo. We have our agreement right?"
Gumalaw ang kanyang panga dahil sa aking sinabi. "We are not just doing this for the baby, Xhena. We are doing this because I want to marry you again, because I want us to be married again not because of that shitty agreement."
Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na hindi rin pala ako nabingi kundi napipi rin. It seems like my own words ran away from me. Even a simple sentence I found myself struggling to construct.
Ngunit hindi rin nagtagal ay nahanap ko rin ang sariling salita. "W-what am I to you, Lewis? What am I?"
He bit his lower lower lip before closing the gap between us. And again, I felt his lips savouring mine. Matagal niya akong hinalikan na tila ba pinararamdam niya sa akin ang kanyang kasagutan, ang sarili niyang nararamdaman.
He pulled away from me before embracing me. "Don't be so worried, wife. Surely, you're something, not nothing."
Namula ang aking mga pisngi sa kanyang sinabi kaya iniwas ko ang aking paningin mula sa kanya para maitago ko ang hiyang aking nararamdaman.
"What about me, Xhena? Am I something or just nothing?"
Napalunok ako sa tanong niya. I know the answer for his question but I am afraid. I am afraid that maybe the things might go wrong and everything will just turned into a mess.
"You... are not nothing. I-I'm still confuse." No! I love you! That's what I wanted to say but I chose to keep it. I chose to lied because I felt like I need to.
Ngumiti siya pero hindi gaano umabot sa kanyang mga mata.
"You better sleep now, wife. Para makapagpahinga na rin si baby. Don't worry, sabi naman ng doctor makakalabas ka na dito bukas."
He guided me to lie down on my bed before placing his lips on my forehead. Then after that, nagulat ako nang bahagya niyang itaas ang laylayan ng aking damit na naging dahilan upang makita niya ang aking tiyan.
"Lewis! I thought you're going to let me rest!?" Sita ko sa kanya.
Nagtaka ako nang bigla siyang humalakhak.
"What's funny?" Nakasimangot kong tanong sa kanya.
"Silly wife! I was not planning to make love to you. I just want to kiss our lil' angel inside your tummy."
The fuck? Ano ba naman iyan, Xhena! Nakakahiya kaaaa!
I was about to turned around so that I could hide my embarrassed face from him. Ngunit pinigilan niya ako at pinanggigilan ang aking pisngi.
True to his words he made a peck to my exposed tummy. I don't know but it seems like my own body is betraying me. I let out a soft moan right after I felt his lips.
He laughed at my reaction. "Is my pregnant wife want to taste me? Is that your green hormones that controlling you, huh?" he asked using a husky voice.
He tried to tease me again by kissing my lips but this time I did not let him. I pushed him away before hiding under my bed sheet.
"Go away, Newton! Let me fucking rest!"
Narinig ko pa siyang tumawa bago ko naramdamang lumundo ang kama na aking hinihigaan. Like an expert, he easily slip himself inside my bed sheet before giving me a back hug.
