CHAPTER 1.
I heard his key in the door and sat up straight on the sofa, my heart suddenly beating faster.
He’s back a day earlier than I’d expected, and of course he hadn’t called; he never called me when he’s gone on a trip o kung may tour man sila ng banda niya in or out of the country because that would be too much like acknowledging a relationship. Well, come to think of it, he NEVER called me at all. We don’t have a relationship in the first place. It’s an arrangement, just like what he insisted last year.
I didn’t jump up to run into his arms; that, too, was something that would make him uncomfortable.
By now, I know the man I love very well.
He couldn’t accept anything that resembles caring from me, kasi wala naman daw kaming relasyon.
Yan lang naman ang palaging dahilan niya sa lahat ng gagawin ko para sa kanya.
He’s very careful never to appear rushing to see me; he never called me by a pet name (not that I mind ‘cause I totally understand our situation); never gave me any fleeting, casual caresses, never whispered love words even during the most intense lovemaking.
What he said to me in bed were always words of sexual need and excitement.
I love making love with him.
Hindi lang dahil sa pleasure na naibibigay nun sa’kin but because it’s the only time that I could give him all the affection that he would never accept outside of the bed.
I sleep each night—that is whenever he appears in my apartment, which is very unpredictable dahil pumupunta lang siya dito kapag sobrang stressed out na siya sa trabaho at kailangan niya ng parausan—in his arms, and if for some reason I would move away from him during the night, magigising na lang siya bigla and he would reach for me, settling me against him once more.
Pero pagdating ng umaga?
He would withdraw back to his solitary shell.
Parang walang nangyari.
Para kang nakikipag-usap sa hangin.
So I forced myself to sit still, at pinagpatuloy ang pag-aayos ng schedule ko for this week.
It wasn’t until I heard the thump of his shoes hitting the floor at ang paghagis niya ng car keys niya sa coffee table that I allowed myself to look up at him.
My heart leaped at the first sight of him.
