What is love?

Chapter 47

Pagka baba ng telepono "ah masungit pala ah" sabi ni Dawn na umiiling iling "hindi...kasi" "lagot ka sakin mamaya" "wag po" I said in high pitched voice and we both laughed. I like it when Dawn is joking and hindi galit kung ano man ang kinakagalit nito minsan kasi walang dahilan bigla nalang akong sinusungitan. I can't help but look at her minsan kasi nakatulog nanaman siya wala, walang araw talagang hindi siya maganda. Pero dati nung mga kabataan namin alam ko nang magiging maganda siya eh at medyo crush ko siya noon ayaw ko lang aminin kela mom at sa sarili ko, kasi noon pa man alam kong off limits si Dawn

Dahil princess siya ni tito Greg at ako naman ang disappointment ni dad malay ko bang ipapakasal ako sakanya ng mga magulang ko. Ever since nung 18th birthday niya eh mas lalo ko siyang naging crush, when she went out that night parang nag slow-mo buong pangyayari I wanted to talk to her kaso kasama ko si Agnes. Tsaka I have to keep up my front na Dawn's just someone I knew growing up. We reached the house and Dawn's still sleeping, I remembered what Von told her sleeping na walang beauty natawa ako bigla habang pinagmamasdan si Dawn

Kasi yung beauty niya nag uumapaw, i was watching her kahit pag hinga niya, mukha na nga ata akong addict na pinapanuod lang siya. "Dawn" i nudged her softly "hmmm" "gising na nasa bahay na tayo" napabalikwas siya and pinunasan mukha akala ata tumulo laway niya "ay shocks, sorry tinulugan kita" "no worries" i smiled "have you eaten dinner yet?" I asked "hindi pa, ikaw din kaya" "oh pumasok na tayo para makakain" i said and we went out the car. I walked over her side and opened her car door when she got out nagulat ako niyakap ako

"Oh bakit?" Natatawa kong tanong "I'm sorry for last night" she said i caressed her cheek, "Dawn alam ko naman bakit ka masungit kagabi eh" i seriously said "oh sige nga bakit?" with challenge in her voice, so lumapit ako sa tenga niya "kasi hindi tayo natuloy sa sculpting room mooooh" i sultrily said "alam mo totoo yan eh" she whispered back. Para kaming sira ulong nag bubulungan sa garahe "talaga?" I widened my eyes "oo, kiss mo nga ako" she touched my lip "your wish is my command" i smiled. Nung palapit na ako biglang naglakad paalis, ayun naiwan ako nakatayong naka pout "oh di ko naman sinabi na dito eh" she was laughing habang nag lalakad na

Ayun na dale nanaman ako sa mga pa andar nitong si Dawn akala mo hindi makabasag pinggan eh pero mas grabe pa saakin kung mang asar, pero at least ako lang lalaking ginaganyan niya kahit bitin nanaman. Naglakad nadin ako papasok sa bahay nang makita ko si manang "manang salamat don sa paghanap sa tulips ha" i gave her a high five "nasayahan ba si mam, sir?" She asked "oo sobra" i said with a wide smile "sir" "oh?" "Sana laging ganyan na kayo ni mam, pati kami kinikilig sainyo eh" she said and patted my arm. Jusko itong sila manang talaga suportado saamin "oo manang basta wag lang ako laging sungitan niyang mam nyo" "sir di naman yan si mam masungit ano lang kulang lang sa suyo"

"Ayun na nga ginagawa ko manang" "kaya nga sir buti nga" "alam mo ba" ayan nanaman si manang nang daldal "oh ano po?" I asked, she gestured na lumapit ako dahil mukhang may ibubulong "natandaan mo ba nung baranggay visit nyo? "Opo manang" "dapat talaga masy tatapusin pa siyang deadline noon kaso sinabihan niyang sasamaha daw muna niya asawa niya" she smiled na parang kinikilig "manang alam mo ipagpatuloy mo lang pagiging chismosa mo kay Dawn" i said laughing "sir naman di ko sinasadyang marinig eh" she giggled

"Pasok na muna ho ako" "osige sir" manang said and continued whatever she was doing . I went in and saw them all sa pagkainan "anak upo na" mom said "bakit kayo natagalan ha?" Tito asked "pano pa baka nag motel pa" sabi ni Von. Nabulunan si Dawn natawa naman ako "hindi na kailangan libreng libre naman dito eh" sabi ko ang sama ng tingin ni Dawn saakin "oh tama na yan, ayaw kong ganyan usapan sa harap dahil para saakim ko baby pa tong si Dawn" sabi ni tito and Dawn smiled at him na pa cute. Nako tito kung alam mo lang kung gaano ka tease yang anak mo.

I sat down next to Dawn "wow sarap nito ah kare-kare" i said humarap ako kay Dawn "subuan mo ako" i said "sige tatayo na ako" Von joked "eto talagang si Von bitter ah no" mom said "nako wag kayo mag alala tito and tita irereto ko yan sa secretary ko" i said and grinned at Von "ayan, ayan ang gusto ko sayo" Von pointed at me. "Oh ito" Dawn said and I opened my mouth tas yun humarap kay tito sa kabila at sinubuan si tito. They laughed ako lang hindi, gutom na ako eh, Dawn faced me and made a face sige mamaya ka talaga. I made a face too and started eating

DAWN
Nauna si Richard umakyat sa taas, i can see that he seems really tired today. He wasn't his usual makulit, when I went up I saw him already sprawled facing down on the bed with his clothes on pa nga eh. I sighed standing on the foot of the bed "will you change?" I asked he shook his head no "arghhh, fine ako na" i said and bigla siyang humarap pero sprawled padin "I'm all yours, baby" he said nakadilat mga mata niya nag iinarte lang pala "laki laki mong damulag eh no" i said snd crawled on the bed next to him. He was looking at me while I was raising his shirt and he slowly smiled "anong nakakatawa?" I asked na masungit "wala" he said "ginawa mo pa talaga akong caregiver no" "ganda mo namang care giver" he winked "oh sit down, paano ko to I raise over your head?" He grunted and sat down. As i was raising it over his head I can't help but admire his body paano workout lord din talaga siya eh

Nung matanggal ko na sa ulo niya eh ayun we were sitting there him with just his pants on and me beside him "lalagay ko lang to sa hamper" I said na tatayo na sana kasi ang init mga siz ang init lang sa pakiramdam. "Mamaya na" he said and pulled me in for a hug tapos humiga siya at binitbit ako with him. So i was on top of him with my head on his neck banda "Richard" "shhhhh" "kasi ano eh" "shhhhh" i looked at him and his eyes were closed "i need to take a shower pa" "shhhhhh" he said again. So I stayed quiet and savored the moment  I placed a kiss on his neck and he sighed with a chuckle tapos I closed my eyes nadin. I wasn't asleep yet iniisip ko lang na I'll take whatever Richard and I have right now, it's now that matters the most sa susunod ko na proproblemahin ang future.
