The Protector

Chapter 3 - AJV

I am waiting patiently for Jema to come out from the bathroom but she is still in there.

What keeps her too long?

I sighed. Honestly, I always don't understand women. All I know is that they have night rituals before going to bed. Kung ano ano nga pala ang ginagawa nila kaya sila natatagalan sa banyo. May nilalagay pa sa mukha. Nailing na lang ako.

My eyes are starting to close but I fought hard and tried to stay awake. I want to say my good night to her and have a cuddle na rin until we fall asleep.

Inayos ko ang aking higa at tumingin sa kisame. Naalala ko ang aming ginawa kanina lang kaya napangiti ako ng abot tenga.

That was a tiring but satisfying union of our bodies. It's been a long time since me and Jema had shared intimacy.

As always, I started it as Jema will never initiate it. She is still shy when it comes to our lovemaking. As my wife, she must remember that initiating sex is an important part to keep our healthy relationship.

Only if sex means a lot to us both. Does she enjoy having sex with me? Hindi kasi siya ganun ka vocal unlike me.

I like it rough and hard. I sometimes talk dirty just to satisfy my sexual needs as my wife is too timid during sex.

Bakit kaya?

Hindi naman na siya lugi sa akin. I'm handsome with a nice body. Clean and always smells good. Ang daming nagkakandarapang babae sa akin noong binata pa ako. Kahit ngayon pero hindi na sila ganun kaagresibo.

Kulang lang siguro sa practice ang asawa ko.

Or maybe, you haven't found her kiliti sa kama.

After ng election, sa asawa ko muna ibubuhos ang lahat ng aking oras at atensyon. We will have our second honeymoon.

I will give her what she wants and what she's looking for sa kama. Tignan ko lang kung makawala o makalimutan pa niya ako.

I smirked then looked at the closed bathroom door.

The clock is ticking, my eyes are heavy. Body is slowly getting comfortable in bed.

Where is Jema?

Tick, tick, tick.

Since the clock keeps on repeating, my brain starts to organize sounds so it became tick-tock, tick-tock.

Fatigue consumed me and I instantly shut my eyes. Parang narinig ko pa ang boses ni Jema pero hindi ko na naintindihan ang sinasabi niya.

I don't know how long I was asleep but I was awaken by Jema's touch.

Dahil parang naalimpungtan ako, automatic na bumaling ako sa kaliwang side. Nagising ng bahagya ang diwa ko. Tumahimik naman at hindi na gumawa ng ingay o galaw si Jema.

What time is it?

Why is she still awake?

Nagkunwari na lang akong tulog.

Lately, I noticed that Jema is becoming restless. She's like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Marahil ay dahil na rin sa akin. I wasn't able to give her much deserved attention.

She needs me.

My love and my time. 

Napaka busy ko this few weeks, sabagay lagi naman. Mas lalo akong magiging occupied this coming months, with the looming election.

Jema deserves a vacation, kaming dalawa.

Tama.

However, I really need to check if I can insert it on my fully loaded schedule. Halos walang bakante for the month of August.
