Nagpalakpakan ang lahat nang sa wakas ay matapos sa halikan ang kasal nina Richard at Christine.
And...I take my judgments back. Christine is awesome! I met her right before we had our fitting for all the bride's maids, she's absolutely a good person—she has this different vibe like a go-with-the-flow vibe. Magka-iba ang ugali nila ni Richard, pero that makes the two of them good for each other. Richard is a serious and disciplined man while Christine balances the two of them. Opposites do attract.
They're spot-on today. Christine's wearing a white long sleeve wedding dress. It's artfully layered with French and cotton-style laces. It suits her fair complexion and black wavy hair, with light beautiful makeup on. She's damn beautiful, I would vote she's more beautiful than me.
Kaming mga bride's maid ni Christine ay naka-navy blue dress, medyo uncomfortable for me because I'm not used to wearing dresses. But I love it—Paul complimented me that I looked lovely today so I'm totally happy with that!
Nakakiling sa aking balikat si Paul habang nanonood kami sa mga nagsasayaw sa harapan. Nasa reception hall na kaming mga dumalo sa kasal. Nakasama muli namin si Jet at Ray. Masaya ako dahil nagkasama-sama kaming apat ngayon, parang noong high school lamang. We're still comfortable with each other, especially that Christine's part of this now. Mayroon na akong makakausap na hindi lalaki.
Malakas ang tawanan namin nang magsayaw rin sa harapan si Jet at Ray. They lighten up the dance floor. Natatawa rin sa tabi ko si Paul habang nakatingin kaming dalawa sa mga nagsasayaw.
Mainit ang kanyang palad na nakahawak sa akin. It warms my heart. I have nothing else to ask for. I let him kissed my forehead and then I looked at his eyes for a long time. He's the most handsome man I've ever met.
"How come mas mahaba ang pilik mata mo sa akin?" I asked jokingly.
He chuckled a bit. Hinarap niya ako nang ayos. Kahit na malakas ang tugtog at nagkakasiyahan ang mga tao ay may sarili kaming mundo ni Paul dito.
"Don't worry, you're beautiful than me."
I laughed at his joke. "Of course, you're handsome."
He kissed my nose and lips. This is so perfect.
"I can't wait to have some time alone with you," I whispered looking at his lips.
He licked it and I felt dizzy.
"Do you know how much I love you?" I asked him. I grinned and let him kissed my cheek. "I love you so much I wanted to puke."
Natawa siya sa sagot ko.
One week has passed since I went to our house since I've gone to Italy. Napag-usapan na namin ni Tony na aasikasuhin na namin ang pag-uwi ni mama rito sa Pilipinas. I'm totally happy with that. We'll never be separated again.
Hindi pa ulit namin napapag-usapan ni Paul ang balak naming pagkakasal. If I'll be totally honest, I'm always waiting for Paul to ask me again. Because I'm going to answer him 'Yes.' But I feel that Paul's taking his time before he asks me again. Having me by his side is more than enough for him. I'm okay with that.
Lumipas ang ilang oras na programa sa reception ni Richard at Christine. Makikita sa mga mata nilang dalawa na masaya sila sa isa't isa. They're so in love with each other. Just like us.
I can't take my desires for Paul as he caressed his thumb with my hand. It's almost two hours and I'm getting dizzier and dizzier. Hindi ko mapigilan ang kaunting buntong-hininga sa ginagawa niya. I like what he's doing, but I want more.
"I love you," he whispered.
His voice soothed me. It relaxed me and it gave me warmth. I kissed his cheeks and whispered, "I love you too."
"Do you want to leave now?" he asked.
Like he's referring to something I clearly wanted. I nodded like a madwoman. Pakinig ko ang mahina niyang tawa nang hilahin niya ako palabas ng resort na ginaganapan ng reception nina Richard at Christine.
I admired Paul's look today. Black suit fits his body frame. His beard perfectly suits him, it gives his personality a little more angst and a different kind of handsomeness.
Lulan kami ng kanyang sasakyan, patungo sa aming bahay. Doon ako nanatili nang ilang linggo bago umuwi sa bahay namin noon. I wanted to live there permanently. we discussed it, but I want him to marry me first.
Minsan naiinis na ako sa sarili ko sa pagiging short-tempered at demanding. Gusto ko na siyang pakasalan ngayon pero siya naman ang ayaw magmadali. It's kinda frustrating. I want to be his wife already. Badly.He was holding my hand the entire time he's driving. We're both silent and completely wanting the same. We want more. That's all. Hindi pa kami umaabot sa punto na lumalampas bukod sa halikan. I don't know but Paul has been patiently waiting. I'm more on the aggressive side now. But now, we're on the same page. He kissed my hand when he stopped at our house.
He parked the car and went outside. He opened the door for me. I slowly moved my way to him. Ramdam ko ang mainit niyang palad sa aking likod. Hindi kapalan ang suot kong dress kaya ramdam na ramdam ko ang init ng kamay ni Paul.
Sabay kaming pumasok ng bahay. Malamig ang simoy ng hangin pero hindi ko inalintana iyon dahil sa nararamdaman.
Parehas kaming humarap sa isa't isa. Nasa harap kami ng puting sofa rito sa sala. Hawak ko ang kanyang braso habang siya ay nakahawak pa rin sa likod ko. Lumunok ako sandali bago isinandal ang aking kamay sa kanyang balikat at sinakop ang batok niya.
"You're so beautiful. I love you."
"I love you too," I answered back.
He moved his lips to mine and then we snapped, we're both breathlessly savoring each other.
He was on top of me. I'm laying down on our sofa while I kissed him back, the same intensity he was giving me. It's hilarious how I'm still wanting more.
I grabbed his nape lustfully and kissed him hard. He held my face and caressed my hair with ease. I moaned loudly when his hand went to my breast. The warmth from his hand made me ache and horny. Hindi pa kami lumagpas sa ganito, laging isinasantabi ang pag-iisa. Pero ngayon alam kong handa na akong angkinin niya.
Hinayaan kong buksan niya ang zipper ng dress ko pababa hanggang sa mabilisan ding bumaba iyon sa aking dibdib. Parehas kaming natigilan at hinihingal. I looked at him with desire, his eyes expressed the same too. I mouthed him 'more'. But he shook his head.
"I have three questions first. I want you to answer it."
I nodded at his rule. I can do anything. I can answer everything. Napapikit ako nang ilapat niya ang kanyang labi sa aking leeg.
"Do you want to be my wife?" he asked.
I gasped quietly but he stopped me by his kisses.
I nodded. "Yes."
Tinitigan niya ang mata ko. I stared back. I want to be his wife, for so long.
"Do you want to be the mother of our children?"
I nodded again and answered, "Yes."
He kissed my forehead and smiled at me. "Do you want to spend your life with me?"
I kissed him and nodded again.
"Yes. I'll marry you, Paul."
