Walk with Me

Chapter Thirty Eight

Mine

"Don't say something you can't really do, babe." seryosong banta sa akin ng boyfriend ko.

Namumungay ang mga mata kong malambing na tumitig sa kanya. I leaned down for an innocent sweet kiss.

"I mean what I said. So, game?" I playfully splashed him with water on the face.

"Lagot ka sa akin kapag natalo ka!" mariin niyang banta.

"That will never happen, baby!" natatawang sabi ko at lumayo sa kanya. "On one! Two! Three!" malakas na bilang ko.

Mabilis akong lumangoy papunta sa dulo ng pool. I gave my full strength to speed up my pace. Determinado akong manalo para na din sa pride ko at nabubuong plano sa isipan. When I reached the other end of the pool, I saw my boyfriend smirking at me.

What the heck! Nauna pa siya?

"So..." madiing sabi niya, "I won! Tama na ang laro babe. Magbihis na tayo."

Hinigit niya na ako paalis sa pool at iginiya na papasok ng bahay. Yakap ang sarili na sumunod ako ng tahimik dahil sobrang seryoso ng boses niya.

Mabagal akong naglakad sa likod habang nakatitig sa bakas na iniiwan ng basa niyang mga paa sa carpet ng sahig.

"Which room?" he asked when we reached the second floor.

Seryoso ang mukha at mahigpit pa din na hawak ang kamay ko. Tinuro ko ang inukupa kong kwarto kung saan may naka prepare na isa pang surpresa. My breathing hitched when he slowly opened the door. I heard him gasp and stilled when he saw the bed full of rose petals. The whole room is dim lighted filled with floating balloons and pictures tied on each strings.

"Babe?" nakaawang ang mga labi na lumingon siya sa akin.

"This is part of my suprise, baby." I said breathely. "Do you like it?" I asked while closing the door.

I pressed the lock and stared innocently at him.

"Are you really serious with this?" napapaos niyang tanong.

Bravely, I leaned towards him and gave him a deep long kiss. "I want to give you all that I have."

"Babe, I don't wanna go there. Please!" he pushed me a bit away from him. "Magbanlaw kana." nakikiusap niyang sabi.

I felt rejected, "B-bakit? You don't like my kisses?"

Umiwas siya ng tingin at umigting ang panga. I saw his adam's apple moved  because he was swallowing so hard. "I respect you babe. I don't want you to regret this thing."

"I won't regret this baby. I love you." I pleaded.

My whole body tingled as I watch his mouth part a bit. Nangunyapit ako sa leeg niya habang masuyong nakatingin sa mga mata niya. He held into my arms firmly. I rose more so that I can kiss him thoroughly. Mas malalim at mas matagal.

"That's enough babe!" he said firmly, swallowing again so hard.

I saw desire and hard-earned restraint in his eyes.

I seductively bite my lips while looking sensually at him. "Please... baby?!"

"Stop seducing me, please!" punong puno ng pakiusap ang kanyang boses.

I know his restraint is beginning to crumble.

"Ayaw mo ba sa akin?" sadness is evident in my voice.
