Chapter 31

Natalie

Wala na yatang mas sasarap pa sa mga halik ni Caleb. Hinding hindi ako magsasawa kahit ito pa ang agahan, tanghalian at hapunan ko, araw araw! Isama mo pa ang merienda at midnight snack! Syet, labi pa lang, ulam na! His mouth tasted like wine and I'm slowly getting addicted to it with every swirl of our tongues. He smelled so good, too. Very manly with a small hint of perfume. I smiled against his lips. Sana tumigil ang oras at manatili na lang kami dito sa loob ng kwartong ito habang buhay!

"Why are you smiling, sweetheart?" his lips brushing against mine. His hands curled in the base of my waist and his fingers are slightly grazing the skin of my back.

"May balak ba tayong gawin sa kwarto na 'to, Caleb?" agad na namula ang pisngi ko nang mapagtanto ko ang nasabi ko. Nalasing na yata ako sa labi niya at kung anu ano na ang sinasabi ko! "I-I mean—"

Caleb chuckled and lifted my chin using his thumb and forefinger. "Bakit, sweetie? Gusto mo ba may gawin tayo?"

"H-Ha? H-Hindi naman—"

"Gusto mo ba may mangyari sa'tin ngayong gabi?" his eyes glinting as he spun me around so we are both facing the king sized bed in the middle of the room. "Had I known na gusto mong may mangyari sana kumuha man lang ako ng suite."

My insides clenched at what he was implying. I sagged against him and I felt the fabric of his suit on my bare back. Tila nanghina ang mga tuhod ko at kinulang ako sa hangin kaya bigla akong naliyo. Ang mga kamay niya ay mahigpit na nakahawak sa balikat ko para alalayan ako habang hinihintay niya ang sagot ko. I gulped. My hand instinctively reached for his hand for comfort, ngunit nalimot kong nasa mga balikat ko nga pala iyon at iba ang nadakma ng kamay ko.

"Ow!" Caleb jumped back and I quickly turned to him.

Batid kong pulang pula ngayon ang mukha ko. "Sorry! Sorry! Juicecolored! Ano ba 'yun?!" Did I just grab his genitals? Oh God! I did not, did I? But, Oh my goodness, he was hard!

"Natzkie?! A little warning would do!" he scolded. His face was the same color as mine. He winced as he turned his back to adjust his crotch, muttering silent curses.

"Sorry na nga eh." I pouted. Hindi ko naman sinasadya na mapisil iyon. Bigla na lang talaga! Umakyat na yata sa mukha ko lahat ng dugo ko.

He looked at me and studied me for a while. Then a small smile formed in his lips. "Oh 'wag ka nang sumimangot d'yan. Come here." he opened his arms for me.

"I promise I won't grab your.. Your thing.. Again." napayukong sambot ko.

Natawa siya ng husto at hinablot ang kamay ko. Hinigit niya akong palapit sa katawan niya at niyakap ako. "Sorry, sweetie, are you disgusted with me now?" masuyong bulong n'ya.

"Hindi kaya." nagsalubong ang kilay ko. "Baka ikaw, na-turn off ka na sakin? Hindi ko talaga sinasadya, Caleb. Masakit ba?"

"Medyo lang." tatawa tawa padin niyang sagot. Naramdaman ko ang daliri niya na naglalaro sa likod ko. He was tracing my spine using his fingers and goosebumps started raising on my nape and arms. "So...?"

"Anong so?" nakanguso ko pa ding tanong.

Natawa siya. "Wala." iginiya nya ako paupo sa kama at kunot noong tinitigan ako. "You look astonishing tonight, Natzkie. But I don't really approve of this kind of dress."

"Ano namang masama?"

"Masyadong revealing!"

Umingos ako. "Eh bakit si Heather, kulang na lang lumuwa ang dibdib niya sa suot niya?"

"Wala akong pakialam sa kanya." dinaluhan niya ako at umupo sa tabi ko. Hinimas niya ang nakahantad kong likod. "You look beautiful, Natzkie. Pero mas maganda ka sa paningin ko kapag balot na balot ka. This," his palm traced the skin from my nape down to the small of my back. "is for my eyes only."
