Wonderstruck

CHAPTER 22

The Wedding Scene

IT'S EIGHT IN THE MORNING and the room 203 is filled with love argument. France was only wearing a boxer brief showing his perfect physique, whereas Asher was just wearing a pajama showing his four-pack abs, shoulder trap, broad chest, and stoutened back. They are literally comfortable with each other's company.

"Ang sexy naman ng Abo na 'to!" paglalambing ni France habang niyayakap si Asher mula sa likuran at hinahalik-halikan sa leeg pero hindi siya nito pinapansin. They are currently in the island counter eating their breakfast.

"Huy, Abo! Kagabi mo pa kamo ako hindi pinapansin!" Napahinto naman si Asher sa kaniyang pagkain dahil sa narinig.

"Siguro naman alam mo kasalanan mong gago ka?!"

"Sorry na nga, eh. Hindi mo pa rin ba ako papatawarin? Hindi ka ba naaawa sa'kin? I really want to hug you if you just know! Patawarin mo na kasi ako, Abo, please! Gustong-gusto na kamo kitang halikan, yakapin, paliguan, babyhin. Lahat-lahat!" he said childishly as if he's hunger for his attention.

"Korni mo tanga."

"Aray ko naman! Magbabati tayo o magbabati tayo?"

Asher is ready for his retort, "Lumayas ka rito!"

"Hala, hotel room ko kaya 'to! Ito talagang moody na 'to, eh!" Hindi naman naiwasang mapatawa ni France dahil sa pang-aasar na ginagawa niya kay Asher.

"Tigil-tigilan mo nga ako France Esteban Alejandro. Naiirita ako sa'yo!" singhal nito bago puwersadong itinulak si France palayo sa kaniya pero niyakap siya nitong muli.

"Please naman, Abo! Hindi ko naman talaga sinasadya, eh, I'm drunk," he said while his lips pouted. Trying to make himself cute. France was rubbing his crotch on Asher's back while hugging him from behind.

"Tigil-tigilan mo 'yang kalibugan mo masasapak kita!"

"Sige na kasi bati na tayo, alam mo napaka-moody mo talaga!"

"Pakielam mo? You idiot."

"Ganito na lang, let's have sex in the bathroom!" he teased him before pulling his hand without informing him, which made the latter out-balanced himself.

"Putang ina!" he gave him one jab on his tummy. "Tigas talaga ng ulo mo hayop ka! Akala mo ba nakikipagbiruan ako sa'yo?" Doon naman napatahimik si France at saka naging seryoso dahil halata na niya na hindi na talaga nakikipagbiruan ang huli.

"Ano ba naman kasi 'yung ipagmalaki mo rin ako sa iba hindi ba? It's been two years since you said yes to this relationship and we're still hiding."

"Hindi ka ba makapaghintay? Alam mo namang walang nakakaalam na pansexual ako. I thought you understand me but I was wrong." Tatayo na sana ito para umalis nang biglang hatakin ni France ang kamay niya papunta sa kaniya at saka siya niyakap nang mariin.

"Bagong tampo at galit na naman 'yan. Sige na, sorry na. I just got carried away because I love you so much that I wanted the world to see it. I really am proud of this relationship with you. Pasensya na talaga hindi ko na uulitin." Napahinto naman si Asher at saka siya niyakap pabalik.
