Kabanata 7
"Happy monthsary, babe..." I opened my eyes and saw a bouquet of flowers infront of me.
Kaagad na kumawala ang matamis na ngiti sa labi ko, I instantly shifted my gaze to him and leaned in to kiss him.
"I thought you didn't remember!" I chuckled, mabilis kong inabot ang bulaklak at niyakap s'ya. His deep familiar laughs filled my ear, humalik s'ya sa tenga ko at humigpit ang yakap n'ya sa baywang ko.
"I'd never forget this," He said. "I love you, Reev."
"I love you," I whispered softly. I moved away slowly from him, I saw how his smile escaped his lips. Hinawi n'ya ang buhok ko at sinapo ang pisngi ko.
"You're the best gift I've ever had, babe." He said softly. Iniangat n'ya ang kamay ko at humalik sa likod ng palad ko.
My heart swelled in so much happiness, kumakalabog ang puso ko at hinaplos ang pisngi n'ya.
"And you're my best star," I murmured softly.
"I have another gift for you, Reev." Mabilis s'yang tumayo sa kama at nanlaki ang mata ko nang makitang nakaboxers lang s'ya.
"Hey!" I shrieked. Hinablot ko ang unan at hinagis sa kanya habang tatawa-tawa s'yang pumunta sa closet.
"What? You've see me naked, babe!" He teased. Nag-init ang pisngi ko at sumimangot.
"Damn you," I hissed.
I saw him picked a white shirt for him, mabilis n'ya iyong isinuot bago nagtungo sa pwesto ko, I saw him carrying another one.
Naupo s'ya sa tapat ko at ibinaba ang kumot na nagtatakip sa dibdib ko.
"Raise your hand, babe." And I did, I saw him licked his lips as he stared at my breast kaya mabilis kong tinakpan ang dibdib ko at sinamaan s'ya ng tingin.
"Medyo maliit pala s'ya no?" He said. Napasimangot ako, sinipa ko s'ya at napahagalpak s'ya ng tawa at hinuli ang paa ko bago marahang hinila ako palapit sa kanya.
"Joke lang, Reev. Don't worry, love na love naman kita." He chuckled. I smacked his arm and spoke.
"Pagkatapos mong laitin ang boobs ko? Huh?" Ngumiwi ako. "You feasted on that tapos--"
"Sorry na, mahal." Hinuli n'ya ang labi ko at umawang ang labi ko nang sapuin n'ya ang dibdib ko.
"Our child will feed on this someday," Napailing s'ya bago ngumisi. "Kaya habang wala pa, ako muna."I screamed when he lowered his head. Paulit-ulit ko s'yang pinalo at halos mamula na ang mukha n'ya sa kakatawa at paghuli ng kamay ko.
"Hindi na!" He chuckled, bigla s'yang lumayo at ngumisi. "Come on, raise your hands."
"Weh? Aawayin mo boobs ko e!" I pouted.
"Hindi," He chuckled deeply.
"Promise?"
"Yes, promise." Ngumuso ako, itinaas ang kamay at kaagad n'yang isinuot sa akin ang shirt n'ya, the moment the shirt reached my neck kaagad n'ya akong ninakawan ng halik.
We both went downstairs, sabi n'ya ay naroon ang kanyang pangalawang surpresa.
We were holding hands as we went downstairs, binitawan n'ya lang ako saglit at pumuntang kusina.
"Babe, close your eyes!" He exclaimed and I obliged. Ipinikit ko ang mata ko, I heard his footsteps, nanatili akong nakapikit habang inaantay s'ya at maya-maya'y nagsalita s'ya.
"Okay, babe, open your eyes." And I slowly did. My eyes adjusted to the light, kaagad akong bumaling sa kanya at umawang ang labi ko nang makita ang dala n'ya.
