Chapter 43

"Does it still hurt?"

Umiling ako at niyakap nang mahigpit si Baba habang nakasubo sa bibig ang lollipop na bigay niya. Nasa backseat kami ng sasakyan niya habang naka-park sa labas ng McDonald's. I wanna go with him inside to buy food and coffee but my feet were aching so he massaged it.

Nasa kabilang dulo siya nakaupo at nakasampa ang mga paa ko sa kanyang hita habang nakasandal ako sa pintuan. His jacket was hovering my legs to cover it up.

"I brought your slippers just in case since you always wear high heels whenever you go to a club. You want to wear it instead?" he asked, hands still on my toes and ankle.

I nodded. Maingat niyang ibinaba ang mga paa ko mula sa kanyang kandungan. Kinamot ko ang ulo at umayos ng upo.

"Talikod," utos niya na sinabayan pa ng pag-ikot ng daliri at paglapit sa aking tabi.

I shifted in my seat to comply with his order. Hinawi niya ang buhok ko sa balikat at sinimulang suklayin gamit ang mga daliri.

Tinanggal ko ang lollipop sa bibig. "When's our anniversary?"

"You've already asked me that several times. First of August."

"Just wanna make sure you're not really a doppelganger." I sucked the lollipop again. "But when is our anniversary?"

"Eleftheria Isra," banggit niya at bahagyang hinila ang buhok ko. "Isang tanong mo pa..."

Lumabi ako at pinaglaruan ang lollipop sa loob ng bibig gamit ang dila.

"Axasiel isn't suplado. You sound suplado kanina pa." I glanced at him over my shoulder. "Galit ka po?"

Hinigpitan niya na ang buhok ko at ipinatong sa kaliwa kong balikat. Kinapa ko ang buhok mula sa pagkakatali pababa sa dulo nito. Hindi siya sumagot kaya naman nilingon ko na.

His arms slithered around my waist until they settled between Baba and my stomach. He sighed and planted a dainty kiss on my shoulder blade, sending short tickles to the back of my neck.

"No," he breathed. "But I was really upset when you didn't tell me that you'd go there. You know that you don't have to ask for my permission, Izzy. I just want to be informed that my girlfriend is out so I won't be worried sick."

I let out a shaky breath when he drizzled me with shallow kisses while delicately drawing circles on my belly with his fingers.

"I'm... sorry," were the only words I could say.

He stopped kissing my bare skin. "Did you have a good time?"

Kinagat ko ang aking labi sa lambing at rahan ng boses niya. Para akong kinikiliti sa bawat haplos ng hininga niyang tumatama sa balat ko.

I shook my head. "I just went there for Harley. And uh... I just had a few drinks."

Lumingon muli ako sa kanya kahit nakatalikod. He pressed his lips on my temple and laughed quietly.

"Few drinks? Sigurado ka po?"

Tumango-tango ako. Mas lalo siyang humalakhak kaya sumimangot ako. Ipinatong ko ang isang kamay sa kanyang hita at tumingala nang kaunti para matingnan siya nang maayos sa mga mata. Lalong naningkit ang tingin niya sa akin dahil sa sagot.

"I want you to have a good time when you hang out with your friends," he said. "Just let me know that you're out with them next time, please..."

Tumango muli ako. His gaze from my eyes descended to my mouth. He let his head droop until his lips touched my bumpy cheek where the candy inside my mouth stayed.
