Cascading Waters

Chapter XXXIV

After cleaning up, we settled in bed. With my head comfortable in his chest, he caressed my hair softly na hindi mo iisipin ang rahas nito kanina. Napanguso ako.

"Hmm?" Axel asked when he felt me pout.

"Hug, huh?" I said nang naalala ang nangyari kanina.

He chuckled. He moved a bit and kissed my hair before turning side ways to hug me. He placed his mouth near my ears.

"Now you have more to fantasize.." he said that in a very sensual manner.

Uminit ang pisngi ko. We stayed silent and within minutes, dahil na rin siguro sa pagod, nakatulogan ko na siya. 

The next morning, I woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon beside our table. Wala na si Axel sa tabi ko. Nagpalinga-linga ako at tumigil lang nang may marinig.

"Good morning."

Napalingon ako sa kakalabas at kakaligong si Axel sa banyo. He's wearing fresh clothes and his manly scent softly filled my nostrils. Nakangiti ito sa akin.

"Morning," I replied, still sleepy.

He went to me and gave me a short kiss. Nahiya kaagad ako dahil sobrang bango na niya habang kakagising ko lang at ito na siya't hinahalikan ako. Lumayo ako.

"I'll eat. Let's do that later," I said.

He chuckled. "Sure."

He was busy maneuvering his cellphone while I ate. Dahil hindi pa siya tapos nang matapos ako sa pagkain, dumiretso nalang ako sa banyo at naligo. Namula ako habang sinasabunan ang sariling katawan. His touches were still there.

Nakalimutan kong magdala ng damit kaya naman ay lumabas nalang ako habang naka-roba. Hindi ko na rin naman narinig si Axel kaya tingin ko ay lumabas ito. Nakumpirma kong tama ako nang nakalabas.

I was on my way to my closet when my phone beeped. Kinuha ko ito sa side table at naupo muna sa higaan ko.

Tyler: 

I'm gonna come back there for your opening but I can't make it for the soft opening next week.

Me:

No, it's fine. I'll be waiting! 

Hindi ito agad nag reply kaya nag scroll muna ako sa facebook ko. I scrolled through my newsfeed and saw a photo of Axel. He posted a new profile picture. It was a stolen picture of him the other day at the beach while holding his wine glass... He was staring at something in front of him... or someone...

"Staring at the waves..."

I blushed at his caption. It was posted a few hours ago but it already reached 2,000 likes. I checked the comments.

Dave: Woah, astig!

Lexa: *my Wave!!

Pearl: Shet! Keleg!

Tamara: Finally!

Hero: I went out of the country for a few weeks and you're already this corny?

Natawa ako sa comments. I saw Axel liking their comments but not replying. Nabasa ko ang comments ng ibang taong humahanga lang siguro sa kanya.

"Who's Wave? His ex?"

"Ay sana all!"

"Yummy!"

at iba pang thirst at nakikichismis na comments.
