"Babe, don't say that. No need make it sound that this is casual sex" natatawang sabi niya. I grinned as I felt my chest tighten a bit. Don't joke around Ziyah. Ikaw ang nagsabi na no strings attached. The man clearly said he likes you and you fucking served him a no-attachment-kind of meal.
"What are we actually doing, Stephen?" Tanong ko nang sinubsob niya ang mukha niya sa leeg ko.
"Let's say we're having a continuous date?"
Tumango ako sakaniya bilang pagsang-ayon.
Let's juts say for now that that was my question.
Pumikit narin ako at dinama nalang ang natural na tunog ng kapaligiran. I actually let him sleep a bit para naman makabawi siya ng lakas. Nang maramdaman kong mataas na ang sikat ng araw ay nagyaya na akong umalis.
Ipit ang mga tili ko nang bigla niya akong buhatin, bridal style. Napakapit akong mabuti sa leeg niya. "Hey, put me down"
"And what? Let you suffer? We can reach heaven without going through hell, I'm telling you."
"What the fuck are you saying?" Naguguluhang tanong ko.
"I don't want you suffering babe, so I'll do the adjusting for you."
That's the time, I felt like my world was in slow motion. It's like everything he does was magnified. Pati ang paglunok niya ay kitang-kita ko. Ang paghampas ng hangin sa gulo-gulo niyang buhok, ang pilik-mata niya, ang guhit sa palibot ng kaniyang mga mata.
My eyes are bluffing me, no, I think it's my brain. Everything he does is zoomed in while I can hear my heart beating.
Being held by him this way hurts me. We are not going anywhere and I should stop romanticising him too much. He's just bored and in lust with me. It just happened that he has principles and he's disciplined. And.. I'm.. I am leaving for home and we won't see each other again.
"So where are we off to?" Masayang tanong ko dahil pumayag na siyang magdrive ako. Hindi naman din kalayuan ang next destination namin at hindi narin niya inexplain pa ang daan dahil naka-GPS na ang address.
Nagsuot ako ng earphones at nagpatugtog ng sobrang hina habang siya ay nasa likuran at natutulog. It's one of those wierd things about me that if I wanted to clear my mind, I would listen to almost nothing sound. Ilalagay ko sa pinakamahinang volume ang pinapakinggan ko.. that way my mind will focus on that sound.. my focus will be redirected and I could think of better things, and somehow that calms the fuck out of me.
He rented a good sized residential vehicle for us. May malawak itong kama sa likod na matatransform into a recreational table. May mini-fridge din at maliit na lutuan. Ang maganda lang dito ay hindi nakami maghohotel pa dahil andito na ang lahat.
Nang makarating kami sa destinasyon namin ay hindi kona muna siya ginising. Mataas parin kasi ang sikat ng araw at ang sarap parin ng tulog niya. I slowly went in bed with him. Maingat kong sinuksok ang sarili ko sa balikat niya.
Laking gulat ko nang bigla niya akong harapin at niyakap. He blew a kiss with his eyes closed, na sakto naman sa labi ko.
"Okay, bull's-eye" he chuckled. "Are we here now, qofte?"
"Mmm yeah but let's stay here first and wait for the sun to calm down." I felt his breathing in my face.
"Admit it, you want my body."
"Excusez-moi?"
"You just want me to savage you again."
Naglikot ako ng bahagya at tinulak siya. "Thick-faced bitch"
