Kabanata 5: Bouquet

"Good morning." Nauna kong text sa kanya.

"Hala, Crux? Sorry for the calls I didn't able to answer, I just woke up. Sorry and good morning." Kanyang reply sa akin matapos ang text kong iyon. Tinawagan ko siya to tell her, "It's fine. I just miss you."

"Good morning too, mahal. I miss you too. Do you have any works to finish today? Ipagtitimpla kita ng kape d'yan."

"Mahal? Why mahal?" I asked.

"Yes, mahal. Bakit? You don't like it ba?" Nang sambitin niya sa nanlulumong tono.

"There's hundreds of cute endearments kaya I'm in doubt why is it mahal?" I asked again.

"'Kala ko naman ayaw mo na ipagtimpla kita ng kape mo..." Said in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Why would I refuse to? Of course, gusto kong tikman ang timpla mo..." Paglilinaw ko.

"Just my timpla? Yung mga luto ko ba, gusto mo din?"

"Eleven..." I answered.

"Huh? Eleven? I didn't ask for your favorite number." She replied.

"Eleven, because I love them, not just because I like them." I clarified.

"Ikaw!" Sigaw niya.

"Yes? What about me?"

"Wala. Mambobola ka talaga... I love you. Sige mahal, maliligo na ko't ipagtitimpla pa kita d'yan. See you in a couple of minutes, take care my cutie little tarsier." Without giving my response, binaba na nito ang phone.

I just had my mouth washed earlier but never took a bath yet and left my hair messed up, hindi mawawala diyan ang pagbuhos ko ng pabango sa buong katawan. Pagpawisan man ako mamaya, it's fine at least makita niya yung hinahanap niya. If you what I mean.

Slightly pressed the doorbell, finally she's here. "Good morning, my ever handsome tarsier! I ordered your favorite breakfast only for you. Hihi, hope my baby likes it" pouted her lips. Natagalan din ito ng dating kaya malapit na sana ako mainip.

I looked over the clock and stared back at her, bigla din naman ako nitong niyakap kaya wala na din akong nasabi. "Sorry naman. Matagal ka din naman nagigising eh." Her excuse. "Wait, I'll just timpla yung kape mo, okay?" Minsan nakakarindi na rin tong conyo kong girlfriend pero dahil mahal ko siya, ayos lang.

"Anong nangyari sa labi mo? Ba't nagdudugo 'yan?" As I noticed her lips bleeding na kanina rin nitong tago.

"Wala 'to, mahal. Maybe it's just because of that lipstick I used earlier before I came here." She answered.

"And, hmmmm... Pinagpapawisan ka rin. Let me wipe that, 'lika rito." As I gently dragged her arm to send her a bit near to me. "Wait, does that hurt? If it is, I'm sorry but let me steal a kiss."

"Your lips are sweet."

"Weh? Sige nga, halikan mo pa 'ko." Hiling niya.

"You'll get spoiled because of it..." Nasabi ko iyon dahil baka magsawa talaga.

"I don't care, just kiss me..." Napabuntong-hiningang pagkakasabi.

Without anymore commotions, I kissed her lips while having me being sensually driven into it. Tinanggal ko 'yung tali niya sa buhok. We paused for awhile, "Sorry if I'm going to mess up the way you look like right now. I really love this..."

"Just a kiss..." Ani ulit nito sa pinanghihinaang tono. Hindi na ako nakapagsalita pa at nagpatuloy lang sa paghalik sa kanyang labi, pisngi, pababa sa kanyang dibdib. I paused a bit and gazed from her eyes down to her chests, its size was different from how I see it earlier. Lumaki ito ng bahagya sa kung anong nakikita ko ngayon.
