With All Might

"Your problem about your land is solved... Your tax payment are all cleared and correct. You don't have to worry about it anymore. It's still yours." he said, his eyes never leaving mine.

"Are you sure?" I glance at my new nude pink manicured nails to avoid his gaze. Inangat niya rin ang mukha ko para magpantay ang aming mga tingin.

"Yes."

Napalunok uli ako at napatingala sa ceiling at nag bilang ng mga butiki. Damn it! He can hear my heart beating so loud now if he won't give us a little space. Bakit kasi kailangan ganito kami ka dikit? Baka may pumasok bigla! But then I remembered that Arlene put the 'Do Not Disturb' sign again after she closes the door.

"O-okay... That's all. I'm leaving." marahan kong sinabi at ready na sa pag tayo ng hapitin niya ako palapit sa kanya.

"You are leaving me again?" his low baritone voice filled the room, I swear it tickles me!

"Ahh oo..." napapaos kong sabi. Damn it, Zaccary! Get the hell back your senses before it's too late!

Mas inusog niya ako palapit sa kanya. His right leg touch mine as his expert hand snake on my back tighter. His other hand slowly reach my right hand and slowly entertwined our fingers. I bit my lower lip. Umakyat yata lahat ng dugo ko sa'king mukha.

"Sa opisina... ako pupunta..." sabi ko.

I saw how his adams apple move. Napapikit siya ng mariin at tumango. Sumilay ang ngiti sa kanyang labi. Hindi ko mawari kung alin sa sinabi ko ang nagpatuwa sa kanya.

"Promise me you won't leave me again..." he whisper.

I laugh awkwardly but his stares was serious I find no humor in it. Tumango ako at ngumiti.

"Wala naman akong pupuntahan na..." malambing kong sabi.

Mas hinapit niya ako at wala sa sariling humilig ako sa kanyang dibdib. I watch his balbonic hand rested on my waist and there I saw kung paano nanindig ang mga balahibo niya.

Pilyang ngumiti ako at hinaplos 'yon. I heard his silent curse as his body reacted to my touch. Napatingala ako at hinarap siya. Namumungay ang mga mata niya. He lick his lips leaving moist in it as it reddened more.

Pumikit ako at inilapat ang labi ko sa labi niya. He stiffened with my move. I smile as I kiss his lips in slow motion. His embrace tightened more as I tried to kiss him more deeply. Bago pa kami makagawa ng milagro ay pinigilan ko na ang sarili ko.

"I need to go..." I smile playfully but he only groaned at me.

"I'll pick you up this afternoon then? I can't visit in your office today because I have a meeting together with the councilors." malambing niyang sabi.

Nalungkot ako ro'n pero hindi ko pinakita. Of course I need to be understanding. His career demands time and focus. I can do nothing about it but to support him with all I can.

"O-okay..." I half heartedly said.

Shit. Kakasabi lang na supportahan tapos tunog nangongonsinsya pa'ko! Ngumiti nalang ako pambawi pero huli na dahil nahalata niya ang malungkot kong boses.

"I promise that I'll clear my schedule tomorrow and on weekend... I want to spend my time with you."

Uminit ang pisngi ko sa mga naiisip wala pa man! He notice my reaction. I tried to play innocent but then he only smirk at me. Napataas lang ako ng kilay.

"I'll clear mine too." malambing kong sabi.

Inabesohan ko si Mrs. Alfon na pag kompolin sa multi-functional hall ang mga trabahante at i-set narin ang kakailanganin para sa meeting. Ala una akong dumating pero kompleto na ang lahat kaya hindi ko na pinatagal pa at inumpisahan ko na ang meeting.
