Chapter 24
Napahiwalay siya sa akin and he took my face with both hands.
"Anong sabi mo?!" he asked, surprised.
"Huh?" pagtataka ko.
"Ulitin mo yung sinabi mo." halata sa boses niya ang excitement.
"Huh?" pag-ulit ko.
"No, asawa. Before that!" sabi niya. Nagets ko naman yung sinabi niyang ulitin ko. Kaya lang, kailangan ba talaga? Nahihiya ako! "Please?" he pleaded.
Natawa ako and held his face saka ko siya tinitigan ng matagal. Kabisado ko na ang itsura ni Elmo. Hindi naman nagbago ang itsura niya when we broke up. He's still that boy whom I fell in love with.
"Ang sabi ko, I love you too Moe." malambing na sabi ko. I saw how a tear fell from his eyes. Bakit siya umiiyak? Nagulat ako when he hugged me and planted a kiss on my forehead.
"I love you more, asawa." sabi niya. I snuggled closer to him and wrapped my arms around his waist. "Isa pa nga? I wanna hear it again."
"Sobra ka na ha? Quota." sabi ko.
"Please?" suminghap ako and kissed his chest before I looked up.
"I love you, Elmo Moses. Quota ka na talaga." asar ko sa kanya.
"Hahahaha. Alright. I'm good. Pwede na kong mamatay." he said as he hugged me again.
"Anong pwede na mamatay?!" gulat na sabi ko. "Baliw!"
"Sayo lang naman." he winked.
"Hilig mo kumindat. Mali-mali ka ba?" pigil-tawa kong sabi sa kanya. Natawa naman siya saka umiling.
"Grabe ka naman sa akin asawa." aniya. "Does this mean na tayo na uli?" he asked afterwards.
"What do you think?" tanong ko pabalik. He looked at me and smiled his boyish smile.
"Yes. I think tayo na nga." sabi niya.
"Alam mo naman pala eh. Tatanungin mo pa." kunyaring inis na sabi ko.
"I just want a confirmation from you." he said and hugged me again.
Kung hindi ako si Julie at ibang babae ako baka iisipin ko na wala na bang ibang alam ang lalaking to kundi ang mangyakap? But no. I am Julie Anne San Jose and my boyfriend Elmo Moses Magalona is a sucker for hugs.
"So kung tayo na ulit... Can I..." he trailed off. Nakita kong bumaba ang titig niya sa mga labi ko which made me smile.
"You don't have to ask, asawa." I said and kissed him. It was a slow, sweet kiss. Obviously a kiss filled with love, passion and... Longing. Yes. I missed this kind of kisses. Namiss ko ang may-ari ng mga labing kinabaliwan ko mula noon.
His hands traveled from the small of my back up to my neck. I weaved my fingers through his hair.
"God I love you so much." he whispered in between kisses.
"I love you too." I replied. I felt him smile and he deepened the kiss. Nadadala na ko. My hands have a mind of their own.
Binuhat niya ako and I wrapped my legs around his waist and we walked towards his bedroom. The hell Julie?! Now na talaga?! Pero kasi... His kisses are addicting.
"I want you now, asawa." he said when he laid me on his bed.
"I want you too." I replied and pulled him closer and kissed him.
His hands started traveling its way down my body. He starts unbuttoning my long sleeved blouse and he starts trailing kisses starting from my jaw to my throat then my collarbones. He removed my shirt and unclasped my bra after. Oh. My. God. Elmo's staring at my boobs.
