"Now we wait. Thirty minutes and we'll take a shower." ha? Ang tagal! Magkaharap lang kami. Kapwa hubo't hubad. Tinignan ko lang si Kevin sa kanyang mukha. Pero ang tingin nya ay taas baba. Namumula ako sa hiya. "Maybe we should wear some bathrobe?" pagbasag ko sa katahimikan. "No, it will retard the effect of the oxidation." nakakaloko na itong si Kevin ha. "Maybe we should sit down?" mungkahi ko. "No. Same effect. It will retard oxidation." sabi nya. Kaya ayon, magkaharap kami. Pinipigilan ko ang aking kalibugan. Malapit ng mapigtas ang pisi ko! Gumalaw si Kevin at dinampot nya yung kanyang pantalon at kinuha ang kanyang telepono. Kinalikot nya ito at nagpatugtog. Tumunog ang Wicked Game ni Chris Isaak. "Really?" bulong ko. Ito yung kanta na laging nangunguna sa serbey na pinapatugtog habang nagse-seks. Malikot itong isip ni Kevin. Kinuha ko yung telepono sa kanyang kamay pagkatapos ng tugtog. Ako naman naghanap ng kanta. Justify My Love ni Madonna. "Nice." ngumisi sya na nangaakit. Pinikit ko mga mata ko at dinibdib ang kanta. Pinangatwiranan ko ang nararamdaman ko para kay Kevin. Libog lang ito. Ayokong madarang sa pag-ibig. Ayokong masaktan muli.
