Spermtacular Love

Chapter 6: Cravings

Cashie Vain

Pagod na inihiga ko sa kama ang katawan ko. Nanlalagkit na ang pakiramdam ko, medyo nangangati pa pero gusto ko na talagang matulog.

I felt like my energy was drained after almost half an hour arguing with Doc. Avery.

Napabuntong hininga ako habang nakatitig sa puting kisame ng aking silid.

Avery?

Kumunot ang noo ko. Avery? Like Mint's Avery? Wait? Is he someone related with Mint?

Marahan akong napaupo sa kama at napa-isip. Was he Mint's-

Natigilan ako sa pag-iisip nang biglang bumukas ang pinto ng aking silid at pumasok ang lalaking kani-kanina lamang ay kaaway ko.

We've been arguing for almost half an hour kasi pinagpipilitan n'ya talagang maging personal doctor ko. Nagfile na kasi s'ya ng resignation letter after nang nangyari kahapon sa ospital.

Nagsasagutan kaming dalawa rito sa mansyon matapos n'ya akong ihatid. Nasa ganoon kaming akto nang madatnan kami ni mommy.

Ang ending s'ya ang nanalo kasi masyadong bias si mommy. She really wanted Doctor Avery to be my doctor. Napagpasyahan din ni mommy na dito na muna s'ya mamalagi sa mansyon para raw mas madali na lang pagmanganganak ako.

I just hated the thought that we will live in the same roof! Not to mention na aalis si mommy kasi mayroong aasikasuhin sa Maynila.

"What are you doing in here?" I snapped at him but he just rolled his eyes at me.

"Nagluto ako ng Custard Cake at nagtimpla ng lemonade," he said before turning his back at me.

Agad na kumalam ang sikmura ko kaya walang kibo-kibong lumabas ako ng kwarto at nagtungo sa kusina.

I swear, if he is joking I will kill him!

Agad kong nalanghap ang amoy ng bagong lutong Custard Cake. Parang tatalon sa tuwa ang puso ko. I feel like an angel singing hallelujah in my mind.

"Where's my cake?" I demanded at him, earning a soft chuckle from him.

He reached for the oven, opening it. He pulled a silver tray containing custard cake.

Akmang lalapitan ko s'ya at kukunin iyon sa kanya pero pinigilan n'ya ako.

"Mainit pa ito, mamaya mo na kainin. Papalamigin muna natin," he said.

I glared at him. "Sana hindi mo muna ako tinawag, edi sana hindi ako maghihintay ngayon!" Reklamo ko sa kanya saka padabog na umupo sa isang stool.

"Your craving for custard cake, aren't you?" He asked, wiggling his brows with a teasing smile on his lips.

"Paki mo naman?" Asik ko sa kanya na ikinatawa n'ya nang malakas.

His red lips were parted open, showing his set of white perfect teeth, as he laugh. Lumubog ang kaunti ang kanyang pisngi dahil sa dimples n'ya.

"Tawa mo? Pasukan sana langaw iyang bibig mo," nakasimangot na wika ko sa kanya.

He stopped laughing but his smile remained. Bakit ang gwapong-gwapo n'ya pagnakangiti s'ya?

"Nothing. It's just that I happened to love Custard Cake as well. Paborito ko talaga ang custard cake at lemonade, kaya maswerte ka dahil magiging kasama mo ako hanggang sa manganak ka. I am good at cooking custard cake," he said proudly that made me blush.

"Tss. As if naman magkaiba ang lasa ng benta sa labas keysa sa luto mo. Pare-pareho lang naman iyan na custard cake," ani ko.

The truth is I really don't like eating custard cake before. Kumakain naman ako pero maliit lang, hindi tulad ngayon na kaya kong ubusin ang isang tub.

Pasimpleng hinaplos ang t'yan kong maliit pa rin. Siguro gustong-gusto talaga ni baby ang custard cake kaya iyon ang parati kong hinahanap.

"Way to ruin my mood," he muttered but I just shrugged my shoulders.

"Siguraduhin mo lang na masarap iyan ha!" Sabi ko.

He chuckled and changed the topic habang hinihintay na lumamig ang custard cake.

"Have you been experiencing nausea every morning?" He asked.

Umiling ako. "Nope!" I replied popping the "p".

"Pero minsan nakakaramdam ako nang hilo lalo na pagtatagal akong tumingin sa cellphone or sa laptop. Madalas na rin akong antukin at malakas lumamon ng pagkain."

I really don't know what possessed me but I really feel good talking to him. For the very first time hindi kami nag-uusap dahil sa mayroon akong nagawang katangahan o kahihiyan.

It was just us, casually talking to each other.

"Well that's normal. Umiinom ka pa ba ng vitamins na inireseta sa iyo ng dati mong doktor?" He asked again.

"Yes, pero last na iyong bukas," sagot ko sa kanya habang minamasdan ang likod n'ya.

Hinahati n'ya kasi iyong custard cake para mailagay n'ya sa Tupperware iyong iba.

"Ibigay mo sa akin ang riceta mo. I'll check on it and probably prescribe a new one," he said, putting a slice of custard cake on a small plate before putting it on front of me.

"Are you really serious being my doctor?" I asked.

Kasi naman eh. I mean he is a guy. It's kinda rare for me to see a male Obgyne doctor.

"Of course, I am. Nandito na lang naman ako bakit aalis pa ako?"

Tahimik akong nangalumbaba. "How did mom encouraged you in coming here in Canada?" I asked, staring at the custard cake.

"She called me nonstop. She even called my parents back in the Philippines just to be your OB," he replied before sitting on the stool besides me.

"And?"

Bumaling s'ya sa akin at tumaas ang kilay. "Of course I have no choice but to say yes when dad threatened to disinherit me," naiiling na wika n'ya.

Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako o maiinis kay mommy. Why would she bother doing this anyway? I mean, marami naman talaga kasing doktor dito sa Canada. Magaling at talagang babae pa, kaya nakakapagtataka na kailangan n'ya pa talagang pilitin itong doktor na to.

"Ano na nga ulit ang pangalan mo?" kusang tanong ko. Hindi ko na kasi maalala. All that I remembered is that his last name is Avery. Mint's middle name is also Avery, kaya gusto ko talagang malaman ang pangalan n'ya para maitanong ko kay Mint kung kilala n'ya rin ito.

"We've been together for quite sometime now and you didn't even know my name?" He asked, amusement dancing in his gorgeous blue and green eyes.

I pouted my lips before looking down to hide the embarrassment and blush on my cheeks.

"All I know is that you are Doctor Avery. Nothing more and you can't blame me for it. Hindi ka rin naman nagpakilala sa akin ah," I defended myself but he just laughed at me.

"Well, then let me introduce myself. I am Xenon Sliver Avery, your hot personal doctor."
