I Found a Man

Katapusan

I woke up feeling the heavy weight of Zec's arm and leg on my body. I turned to look at him and he was sleeping beside me like a baby. Sobrang gwapo naman nitong katabi ko. I stared at him for a couple of minutes before I decided to get up. Maingat kong inalis yung katawan niya sa ibabaw ko at dahan dahan na kumilos upang makatayo, pero bago pa man ako makalayo, hinawakan ni Zec ang kamay ko at hinila papalapit sa kanya. He hugged me tight before he opened an eye to look at me.

"Where are you going?" He asked like a sleepy little boy.

"I have to go prepare for work." He kissed my shoulder before and let me go. Hinanap ko sa paligid ng kwarto yung mga damit ko. Kung saan-saan lang kasi hinagis ni Zec kagabi, e.

"Oh right, you haven't told me why you're here." I found my underwear and my pajama on the floor almost under the bed. I wore the pants but I won't wear my undies again so I put it inside my pocket. Tumingin ako kay Zec nang hindi siya sumagot. He's leaning on the headboard watching me put my clothes on.

"Doctor's Conference." Napa-ah na lang ako at tumango habang hinahanap ang pantaas ko. Saan na ba nakatapon yun? "Usap ulit tayo mamaya."

Usap daw, e, ni hindi man lang nga kami nakapag usap ng maayos kagabi! I rolled my eyes but when I looked at him, he was grinning and I suddenly felt myself blush because of the way he's looking at me. So I kept my face passive like I'm actually focusing on looking for my clothes pero hindi ko talaga mahanap. Patay malisya akong naghahanap ng damit habang nakabalandra yung hinaharap ko. Kaya naman tuwang-tuwa itong mokong.

Maybe he noticed that I'm getting frustrated on looking for my top so he stood up with all his naked glory. I watched as he walked towards the other side of the room. He bent down and took my shirt under the closet—pano napunta iyon dun? He looked at me and amusement was formed on his face.

"Bakit nakakagat labi ka diyan?" Pabirong tanong niya. I suddenly realized that, yup, I was biting my lip. "Gusto mo isang round bago ka bumalik sa kwarto mo?" I threw a pillow at him and he catch it as he laughed. Lumapit na ako upang kunin ang damit ko sa kanya pero hinila niya ako palapit. He kissed the top of my head. "I love you."

He said that line multiple times last night, pero hanggang ngayon hindi parin ako sanay. Then I suddenly felt his hands massaging my breast kaya naman napaungol ako bago ko tinapik at inalis ang kamay niya sa dibdib ko.

"Zec, I need to go." I took a step back but he wrapped on of his arms at the back of my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"Really?" He asked and I moaned again. He started to kiss my neck and my hands automatically pulled the back of his hair.

"Zec, mamaya na lang tayo mag usap." Hirap na sabi ko habang nakabaon ang mukha niya sa balikat ko. I felt a smile formed on his lips and he started to shake because of laughter so I smacked the back of his head lightly with my hand. "Ewan ko sayo."

Napakunot ang noo ko nang makarinig ng mga nag uusap at nagtatawanan sa kusina. I was about to eat breakfast before I get myself ready for work. Imposibleng mga kasambahay yun kaya pumunta ako sa dining at napatigil ako sa paglakad nang makita doon si Kiko, Zec, Kaleb at Trina.

"What's happening here?" They all stopped to look at me and a big smile flashed across Kaleb's lips before he runs towards me ang enveloped me with a hug.

"Gail! I missed you." Niyakap ko siya pabalik pero nang makita ko yung mga mukha ni Zec at Trina habang nakatingin sa amin. Agad akong bumitaw at itinulak ng mahina si Kaleb. He kept his arms around my shoulder after the hug and faced them. Siniko ko siya pero di siya bumitaw. "I hope you don't mind if we stay here for a week. May conference kami at malapit lang dito yung venue."
