A Little Push [On-Hold]

Chapter Thirty-one

Nagising ako sa pagkalam ng sikmura ko. Nakita ko si Donatello na nasa tabi ko at mahimbing na natutulog.

Pinalipas namin ang gabi sa piling ng isa't isa, nakakatuwa lang isipin na akin siya.

Saglit ko munang pinanood ang payapang pagtulog ni Donatello bago ikinundisyon ang pagbangon ko.  Mahapdi ang aking gitna, at masakit ang aking balakang. Idagdag mo pa ang kumakalam kong sikmura dahil hindi na kami nakapaghapunan kagabi. Alas kwatro na ng madaling araw ngayon.

Nagtapis ako ng roba at dumiretso sa kusina, naghanda lang ako ng cereals. Mamaya na ako magluluto ng totoong pagkain.

I was pouring milk into my cereals when I caught sight of my Ipad, it's screen was on and so I reached for it after I put back the milk in the fridge.

Three missed calls from Marcus,  one each for Lulu and Gina. I decided to call them back when Marcus called again first. I  immediately answered the call.

"Where have you been?! Hey, what's on your neck?!!" iyan, iyan agad ang bulyaw niya sa akin. Tss.

"What do you want to say, Marcus?" walang ganang tanong ko bago sumubo ng isang kutsarang cereals.

"Did you just came out of bed after having sex with somebody? God, Maxine.. I thought you knew what you're doing?!" sermon niya.

"I didn't do it with just a random guy, you know?" nakangising pahayag ko.

"The last thing I wanna hear from my only sister is her sex escapades. I want to tell you something...."

"Spill.." I said.

"Stop looking for 'Fow-Bee'I found her." sabi niya with a sigh.

"Fow—what?!"

"She insisted that her name is pronounced as 'Fow-Bee' like Phobia..not Fibi. I think she's mentally abnormal." halatang halata ang inis sa mukha ni Marcus.

"How's it going?" tanong ko.

"She's just fifteen, Maxine."

"Wait, what?!"

"Yeah, I got her investigated. She is a pro in calligraphy, at her young age, she can copy someone else's signature. She's...very pretty, and weird."

"Well good luck. Be like papa, pursue a younger lady. That might get you in jail though... Maybe by that, you'll get a true love story just like the rest of us." sinamaan niya ako ng tingin sa sinabi ko.

"So,  it's Donatello's hickies then?" he ask pointing out his neck as if mirroring my neck covered by my hands.

"Yeah." I said, he sighed.

"I knew you were crazy. Mana ka kay papa, Maxine." nakasimangot na namang saad nito.

"Bakit ba sinasabihan mo ng baliw ang papa natin?"

"He likes her! That Fowbi girl, he's helping her, and mama wants her to stay in our house. Do you see how strange that would be?! They're letting a girl stay in our house, a girl who's crazy about me!!" woah, kung makasabe siya, pinahanap niya mga sa akin yung batang iyon for three long years. Tss

"Parents know best, Marcus. Just go with the flow." pagpapalubag ko sa loob niya.

"When will you tell our parents then? About your crazy love stunts there?" mahinahong tanong ni Marcus.

"After our wedding. And oh, you're invited."

"How did you win his heart?" tila hindi naniniwala na tanong ni Marcus sa akin.

"Oh, brother.. He loves me as much as I love him. Oh and yeah! You won't believe this, I got a tattoo.." I said the last part in a sing sang voice.

"Freak." he muttered.

"Whatever, so ...if we're getting married soon, you'll come for me, right?"

"What choice do I have? I love you that much, Maxine. Talagang pupunta ako sa kasal mo. " nakangiting saad ni Marcus.

Natapos na rin ang tawag dahil late na ito sa family reunion namin, ilang taon na rin akong hindi nakakasama at namimiss ko na rin ang mga kamag-anakan ko.

Dumiretso ako sa banyo para linisin ang bondage mg tattoo ko, hindi na iyon mahapdi, medyo makati lang kapag nadadali. Ilang araw lang naman ay okay na rin daw ito, gaya ng sabi ni Ty. Nagsuot na rin ako ng underwear bago muking sinuot ang aking roba.

"Maxine?!" biglang bumukas ang pinto ng banyo at mula roon ay bumungad sa akin ang mukha ni Donatello na bakas ang pag-aalala.

"Hey, anong problema?" tanong ko.

"I thought your gone. Nagising akong wala ka na.." sabi niya habang nahinga ng malalim.

"Are you hungry now? I'll cook something for you." sabi ko habang itinataling muli ng mahigpit ang roba ko.

May suot na akong panloob, pero nahihiya parin akong ibalandra ang katawan ko, kesyo pa nahawakan at nahalikan niya na ang buong pagkatao ko ay nahihiya parin ako.

"Okay. I'll come with you." ini-umang niya sa akin ang palad niya kaya inabot ko iyon.

"What do you want to eat?" tanong ko ng hapitin niya ang katawan ko at naka-akbay siya sa akin habang naglalakad kami palabas ng kwarto. Nakasuot na pala siya ng boxers, pero bakat na bakat naman ang kanyang ano. Pfft. Ang laki laki naman kasi..

"I want fried rice." he said as he kissed my head. Awwe, this is so sweet of him.

"I told Marcus about us... He knew how I feel for you from the beginning." I told him.

We are cuddling over my bed as we talk about random stuffs, I decided to talk about my family..

"Oh, did he agree with our relationship? Is it okay for him?" may bahid ng pag-aalala ang mukha ng lalaking mahal ko.

Sinuklian ko ng matamis na ngiti ang tanong niya bago ko siya tanguan ng ilang beses....

"Thank God, I really want to be with you for the rest of my life, Maxine babe." naiiyak ako sa sweetness niya, grabe!

"Donatello....

      .......I'm amazed whenever I look at you. Not just because of your good looks, but because of the fact that everything I've ever wanted—needed is right in front of me. You made me complete the day you said you love me." bigla na lang na nasabi ko habang hawak ko ang mga palad niya.

"I'm so inlove with you, Maxine. I've fallen for you deeper than I expected. And right now,  I just don't care how complicated this get—our relationship. I will still want you, love you. Please stay in my life. I won't spank you ever again. I promise." okay na sana eh, kaso natawa ako sa huling sinabi niya....

"You can do that to me, babe. I think it's hot..." I said, caressing his neck. "Hmm, would you give me the privilege to give you a love mark too?" I purred against his ear. I felt him tensed and his grip on my waist tightened.

"You really are a naughty girl, aren't you?" he smirked as I faced his handsome face.

"Yes, you know how 'obsessed' I am to you....babe" I murmured.

"Go ahead, let's see what my baby can do." he pat my head as he grinned at me.

He's always turning me on. Damn it...
